It all started with a kiss.

Chasity.

Denali Quinn, that was her name. She was mixed like me. Her mother born in brazil and her father here in Los Angeles. Nali is what i called her, She has the prettiest green eyes that remind me of emeralds. And hair so curly you could barely run your fingers through it. She was everything i could ever dream of. I met Nali in 1st grade, Her parents had just moved their family back to her fathers home town after living in brazil. They moved into the little cottage looking house across from me. i'll never forget the day i first saw her. Sitting at my desk in my room practicing my vocabulary words for my english class. Mrs. Jax thought it would be easier for us to learn if we wrote them down over and over again. I watched as their uhaul arrived. She jumped out the passenger side with her little brother basil. We locked eyes. and suddenly i felt a feeling i had never felt before. The next day my mom thought it would be kind to bring them a house warming gift so we did exactly that. I knocked twice on the door as my mom stood behind me waiting patiently.  Through the door came a tall man, about 6'2 i think. My mother greeted him. "hello my name is Opal , we live across from you guys and i wanted to welcome you with a gift." He thanked her and looked down at me "Now who is this little dream" he said as he gave my nose a little boop. " My name is chasity. " i told him. " well hello chastity i'm Arcadius and you look to be about my daughters age" which i was. her brother and my sister happened to be the same age too next thing i knew he was calling her name. "Denali princess come say hi". And there she was. The most beautiful girl i had ever seen. From there on me and Denali were the best of friends. We spent every day together and had sleepovers every weekend. Our families were close too and we had family diners together every sunday. My little sister auriela and basil her little brother were really close too. But they could never live up to the friend ship denali and i had. Except for i have a small feeling everything's about to change. Denali has a boyfriend now so we started to spend less time together. she swears she will make more time for me but it never truly happens. And tomorrow? Tomorrow is our first day of our junior year.
