Confused In Love

California Here I Come!

It was a Tuesday afternoon when I was on my way to my new home in California. I'm really from Hollows Wood, Maine, but my dad got a new job over here so we decided to move. Well basically I had no choice to move, but enough talk, let me introduce myself. I'm Kayla Camino, I'm 17 years old and have no friends. People say I'm pretty and have a nice body but I just don't believe it!

My mom left my brother James Camino, my dad, and well me. She said we always kept wasting her time to go explore the world.....not. My brother is one of those popular kids who gets everything easily. He is 2 years older than me and has a girlfriend named Kaitlyn. Our house isn't so big because we aren't one of those rich families who buy houses for 50,000 dollars.

I've always wanted to be part of one of those cliques, but the popular ones. My whole life I've dreamt of being popular! I cry myself to sleep just wishing to have friends that will like me for me. I know I'm 17, and this is embarrassing but I never had my first kiss or had a boyfriend. " Dad! Why is my room farthest from the bathroom?! I already have to race to it every morning, your just making it harder." I pout for about 5 minutes because it's not fair.

It was hard being 3,000 miles away from my favorite uncle, Gary. He was the only best friend I've ever had so I didn't like to be away from him. Setting things up inside was a lot of work! Especially my room because I'm a hoarder and I have many items with me.

I finally finished unpacking and rested for a while. I started to fall asleep and when I woke up I realized that today was my shopping day. I had to look for cute clothes for my first day of school tomorrow. I wanted as much attention as I can get from people.

I went to forever 21, areo, h&m, and icing for some jewelry. At the most I spent $200 but my dad won't care. He'll do whatever it takes to make me happy. " James. Dad. I'm home!" No answer from either of them. I knew it was 8:00 at night but we're they really sleeping?

I went upstairs and checked all the rooms and they weren't there. Being smart I decided to call both instead of panicking like most people. James was at a party with friends. We just got here and he's already partying? Dad was at the bar having a drink hoping to meet some guys or even ladies.

From what I heard, I'll be home all by myself for the rest of the night most likely. I took a shower, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, got dress and laid down. I'm one of those girls who get their work done and do what they're told, so as I fell asleep I read a book called The DUFF. BTW it was funny as hell when she threw her cherry coke on Wesley the guy she claims she doesn't like, but everyone knows she does. He is effing hot! How can she not like him with that body?!

At about 10:00 I was sleep. I have to admit if I'm going to be popular and getting drunk and then sleeping with guys, I have to sleep less wild! I'll probably be kicking the poor guy in the face giving him bruises. I may have been sleep, but I heard James come in at about 12 and dad at 3.

All night I had dreams about being humiliated by kids in the school. Only one out of the ten of them were good. It was about meeting the perfect best friend and boyfriend, and of course it couldn't be true. I was determined to be cool, part of the popular crew, the kids that go to parties, and.... well you know what I mean.

The morning came and I was tired as hell since I had to wake up at some freaking 5:30 in the morning because my bus will be here at 6:30. Yeah, I know that's a whole hour but that's how long it takes me to get ready. I waste 15 minutes just sitting in my bed waking up. Another 15 minutes to brush my hair and teeth. 10 minutes to makes coffee and breakfast ( and yes I drink coffee because it's good, plus I don't want to fall asleep in class). 15 minutes to pick out an outfit and then get dressed. And my last 5 minutes are for me to either relax or clean up any mess I made.

My bus came late and I was surprised by that because on the school papers it said that their buses are strict and always on time. And if hey think there buses are strict they must be crazy. The bus driver was an old man with a bunch a sags in his face. His skin was an off white and he had the biggest wart on his nose than anybody has ever seen in earth.

I sat in the back away from the crowd. I know I should be trying to fit in but they were telling throwing papers and calling each other Felicia! Like who is that and why are you calling people that?! Other kids may think it's offensive inside though they may not show it. We picked about 30 kids and by the time we got to school it was 8:00.

School started at 8:30 so I had 30 minutes to settle in and find my classes. This school had so many kids applied to it. Cheerleaders cartwheeled down the hall yelling, " Go Madison Timberwolves!" Walking down the hall I saw geeks or nerds as some kids in the science lab. Book club in the library, jocks in the gym hanging out, but there was no popular clique anywhere.

This school had about every clique there was but no popular crew?! What the hell does this look like? Mean Girls with Regina's fake crew that wasn't even popular?! All they did that made people stare was wear slutty clothes and talk shit about people that they didn't like.

My day was already turning upside down. If there was no popular crew than my chance of be popular and having friends was over. My hope lowered and lowered every moment on my way to class as I thought about me being a geek. You know me Kayla Camino always the first to be in class.

I waited for about 15 minutes for kids to come in and so far only two showed up. I was about to get up and go take a walk but my bad luck caught me and the bell rang. Over 15 students raced in the class not wanting to be late on the first day.

" Ok class welcome to physics class. I am Mr. Wells and I will be your teacher for the year and rest of high school." His introduction was long as hell, but I got through it by dozing out and not paying attention to a word he said.

Suddenly something amazing happened. It was like my wish come true. As I saw this beautiful sight I knew right there my life was about to change forever
