It was the first day of kindergarten i walked in with my head held up high extremely exited unlike most kids who were crying to there parents. I was happy to be there of course i would miss my mom i wasn't crazy but school was a place where i could get distracted from home and well i guess now home is a place where i could get distracted by school. As i was waving bye to my mom i walked into the classroom put my backpack in a cubby that said "Anastasia"  My real name is Anastasia but everyone always would call me Annie.

After i out my backpack away i went to go find my seat there were name tags everywhere so i had to find the one that said my name. Finally i found it i sat next to a blonde girl that was smiling, she looked as happy as me i wanted to talk to her and say hi but our teacher Ms. hart grabbed our attention. She was a sweet teacher definitely one of my favorites i had. My first day couldn't of been going greater i even gotten the courage to talk to the blonde girl next to me. I tapped her shoulder to get her attention

"Hi! my names Annie what's your name?" i say to her with a smile on my face. She smiles back.

"My name is Kim" She says to me not long after she looks down at my desk and spots my drawing that i was coloring "Thats pretty did you do that?" she asked me. "Yeah i did thanks!" I say to her at this point my i was smiling so hard my cheeks hurt. We talks for a bit after that snd i knew we were going to be great friends. The seat across from me was my cousin i wouldn't say we were that close but we weren't strangers especially after my parents divorce we started going to my cousin jerry's house a lot.

The day was going great I know it sounds crazy now but I loved school more than anything back then. Not long after my interaction with my new friend Kim I felt stuff hitting my back and tugging on my hair. At first i thought it was nothing but it kept continuing so i turned around and of course it was a boys. Boys have cooties i thought. I don't like boys i thought they were annoying and still do sometimes. I continued my drawing not giving the boy behind me a second thought which isn't a bad way to live really. I thought if I ignored the boy he would stop but i guess i was wring because he didn't. I finally had enough

"Can you stop it already" I say with a harsh tone Kim turned around and started watching our interaction.

"why should I?" The brunette boy says with a snarky little smirk

"because i don't like it" i said I probably sounded really stupid saying that but what can you do i was five. He then left me alone for a little while until recess he had a lot friends with him and they were all laughing. I wonder what their laughing about I thought. One of the boys that were laughing turned around so he was facing me and pointed at me and the boys started laughing even more. Oh i guess they were laughing at me.

The next day i found the boys name was jack and he had been spreading rumors about me to our whole class nothing to bad since we were only five but it still hurt.

This went on for years and years as we got older it only got worse. In the fourth grade i started karate and i loved it and i mean loved i thought nothing could ruin this for me it was a place for me to go when things got rough at school. Until it wasn't.

When jack had found out i was doing it he knew he had to and he brought his friends along to they ruined the only thing i loved from me and i hated them. After a year later i couldn't take it anymore i quit but jack kept going i guess he really liked it. The following year after that i had to move my mom thought it would be best for me to get a new start someplace else and i kinda liked the idea of that. So in sixth grade instead of going to Seaford middle school i went to another school a couple city's away it was actually really great i made a lot of friends which couldn't help but wonder if jack just left me alone maybe i would have this many friends at Seaford to.

My only real friend was Kim she stood by me the whole time all of this was happening and she would always cheer me up she was an amazing friend after i moved we still talked from there and there but it wasn't the same i missed her. But i found out a couple months after i moved Jack also moved she said something about his moms new job or something all his friends were devastated.

So here we were me and jack going to completely different schools never to see each-others again or so we thought. I guess somewhere between seventh-ninth grade he moved back to seaFord and still did karate. My mom got a new job at SeaFord so i had to move back i wasn't happy about it because i had to leave all my friends but at least i could see Kim again and thankfully not jack as i thought. And i guess that brings us back to present time i moved back jack moved back and he doesn't even recognize me
