The Intruder Is Back

Epilogue

I was riding with my mom on a road trip around Tiverside County. Sadly, it was almost the end of spring break and I would have to return to school. I couldn't wait to see my best friend, Zoe Jinara again! Not to mention, Zoe and I have been best friends since we were in kindergarten. We have a strong, and amazing friendship. We are super duper close.
After what happened last year with Zoe and Cindy, I decided to forgive Zoe and give her a second chance. I don't know about Cindy. She hasn't changed at all yet. Cindy and I never really got along in kindergarten. But we were friends until she started turning all my friends against me and spreading rumors around the school.
I stopped trusting people after that, so that's why I keep things to myself. My mother always reminded me to stay positive no matter what. But that doesn't always work out for me. I need to learn to not be so hard on myself all the time, it's just not worth it. I sorta have some other friends in high school, but not that many.
I do have a very close guy friend named Devon. I started crushing on him very recently. I can tell he likes me because he shows it, and I can tell he's nervous around me. I'm just glad that I'm done with middle school. Grades sixth through eighth were the worst years of my life! Last year was hard to remember. It took me a while to get better after my injuries, and my mental health.
I have anxiety every time I walk to school alone, like I feel like someone is following me or something. The only person that I trust is my mother, Rachel. She is honest when it comes to advice. Or anything. I love my mom so much! I also love my dad, but I haven't seen him since last year.
I don't know what he's doing or where he is to this day. But I'm not gonna lie, I do miss him. I mean it's hard being around divorced parents when you're the only child. All I wanted most in my life, is my mother.
