10 Things We Did

Intro

Hi, my name is Mya Bailey Smith. I was born on June 13, 1997. I have long blonde hair, I'm about 5 foot 7 and I'm the head of the volleyball team at my school. I have a younger brother named Owen Chase Smith and he was born on November 16, 2000. My dad's name is Michael Smith but Mike for short. He has his own business selling cars and it's really picked up this year. My mom's name is Michelle Smith, she isn't around very often. She has a few jobs to keep her busy, not like she needs one because my dad brings in enough money but she was tired of sitting around all day. She's a part time cashier at the local grocery store during the day, and she's a bartender at one of the local pubs during the night.

I have multiple friends in this town, but my best friend is Nicole Conley. She's about 5 foot 6 with long brown hair. We've known each other since we were 2 years old. We met at our babysitter's house and she actually used to beat me up. As we grew older, we also grew closer and soon enough she became my best friend. 

Then there's my amazing boyfriend Austin Livingston. He's about 6 foot 3, he has short brown hair and big green eyes. He's quarterback of the school's football team and he's also one of the best players on the basketball team. Him and I have been together for almost 2 years now. We actually met at grade nine orientation. We instantly hated each other. Our whole grade nine year was spent bullying each other. Then one day in grade ten I overheard our French teacher telling him he's going to fail if he doesn't hand in his past three assignments, this also meant he'd be kicked off the basketball and football teams. I followed him into the cafeteria and tried to talk to him with no luck. He just kept ignoring. Then I mentioned what I overheard and his shoulders hunched over as he bowed his head.

"I can help you with those assignments so that you pass" I suggested.

His shoulders perked up a little and he looked over his shoulder to see if I was serious, and I was. As much as we hated each other I didn't want to see him fail and watch our football and basketball teams collapse. 

And so it began. We spent almost every day with each other, it started off strictly business, then he started asking me to go to the movies with him or out for dinner and then one night he asked me to go for a walk with him. It was about 1 in the morning and we were walking along the shore of the beach and he told me how he's grown to like me more than he ever imagined, then he told me he'd love to spend forever with me, I cut him off halfway through his speech with a kiss, that was our first kiss by the way, and he looked at me and said, "Mya, will you be my girlfriend?" I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him once again. Before pulling away I let my lips hover against his and through my smile I whispered yes. I felt his body loosen up and he grabbed just below my butt and lifted me up, you know, like in the movies, and he placed another perfect kiss on my lips as he lowered me back to the ground. I can truly say I am dating my best friend.

Let me give you a visual of our small town. We're on the coast of California so there's a lot of beach houses. In fact my house is right on the beach. Not many people drive in our town. Most of us ride bikes, skateboards or longboards, I prefer to longboard almost everywhere. There are a lot of elderly people in our town that have come to settle down after retirement. Our overall population is about 2000 people. The best thing about living in such a small town is that everyone knows everyone, everyone is polite to one another and our crime rate is very small.

My high school is about a 5 minute ride from my house. It's just a small school with about 300 students ranging from kindergarten to grade 12. My classes this semester are Chemistry, English, Math, and French. After high school I plan on becoming a pharmacist or a teacher so my semester is pretty tough.
