Don't Blame Me | Finney Blake.

O1.

— Oh come on Augustine, I know you'll like where we're going to move.

— Sure, a nice town in the suburbs of Denver, you don't know how much it excites me.

— You'll make friends honey, and I don't know, maybe you'll meet a cute boy who will steal your heart.

— Don't be silly mom, children are a waste of time. I kept talking nonsense all the way with my mother, until from one moment to another I fell asleep, when we finally got there mom woke me up.

— Honey, wake up, we're here.

— Uhm? — get out of the car not so excited and ask

— what is our new house?

— Oh, it's the one in front of you, honey.

— Shit yes, I'm very stupid today.

Entering the house was not a big deal, not what I was used to, but I had to get used to it, after my parents' divorce nothing would ever be the same as before. I went up to what would be my room and I looked at it, it could be a nice room if I put my mind to it, some details of mine and it will be the most beautiful.

— This room certainly has potential, a couple of decorations and it will be more than perfect.

I spent all night decorating my talk with fake plants and cute things, until it finally fit, I was proud of the result.

—Augustine, come down to dinner honey!.

— I'm coming mother!

I ran downstairs as fast as I could and my mom had baked a little cake.

— I know it's not much of a daughter, but I want you to feel at home with your father, I know he's your favorite.

— I thank you very much mother, this makes me feel better.

— By the way! Good news, in the house next door there lives a boy about your age, he could be your friend.

— I'll think about it, not everyone deserves to be my friend. I said cutting a slice of cake.

— I also signed you up for school, the sooner the better, you'll start tomorrow Augustine, it's a nice school and you'll make lots of friends, rest assured honey.

— I highly doubt it, Mom.

I finished dinner and went up to my room, read a few books and started to think. . . Is a board game still a board game if you play it on the floor or in bed? Those kinds of questions don't let me sleep, I closed my eyes and it didn't take long for me to fall into a deep sleep.

— Augustine, wake up, you will be late for your first day of school!

— Five minutes more. I said sleepy.

— No more Five minutes to school.

I got up, washed my face and my teeth, put on a skirt and a white blouse, it really didn't look that bad. I went downstairs to have breakfast and my mother had already prepared everything, we got into the car clearly in the direction of school.

— Honey, it will be great! You should have fixed your hair, it's very messy.

— Mom, enough! I like the way I look.

And more of that nonsense, when I got to school I talked to a girl, a few courses younger than me, her name is Gwen. She took me to my classroom and helped me get to know the school, she is sweet.

— This is your salon Augustine.

— Thank you very much, Gwen, you told me, right?

— That's right and I have to leave you because otherwise I'll be late for class.

I said goodbye to Gwen and went to class, luckily the teacher hadn't arrived yet so I didn't have to introduce myself, I talked for a while and asked us to pair up, shit, I didn't have anyone. I guess I'll do it alone, until a curly-haired boy came up to me.

— Hi, you're new, right?

— Oh of course I am, have you seen me before? I replied sarcastically.

— Oh no, um. . I'm Finney Blake, nice to meet you.

— Augustine, Augustine Myers, it's a pleasure, Finney.

— Do you want to team up with me, Augustine?.

— Uhm, okay, I don't see why not.
