Alone With You

1 Seraphina

I never really cared to be around people.

Sure, sometimes I get lonely. I think no matter how reserved or introverted a person is, everyone gets lonely at points. But thats something I've learned to live with. All I need is myself and a good book.

Me and dad moved up to Anacortes, Washinton early this summer. Its a cute little place. Its right on the water which I appreciate. Theres something so calming about always having access to the ocean. Its like no matter how bad life gets, the oceans there, and it understands me.

I don't know anyone here, apart from my aunt Kelly. She lives in LaConner, another small town near by. It was a nice, quiet summer. I got a job at a local diner. I biked a lot, despite having a car. I talk to and get alone with my co workers, but were not that close. I recognize a few people that go to the school im attending this year. I don't really know any of their names, I just see them wearing school merchandise.

School starts tomorrow. I don't exactly have high hopes for this year. I never go into anything with high hopes though, because that can only lead to disappointment.

I had a walk threw of the school last Wednesday and I know where all my classes are, where the cafeteria is, and where my locker is. So if everything goes as planned, tomorrow will be easy. I told myself that despite having no plans for college, I'm going to do good this year. I'm going to get good grades, and pay attention in class.

I never cared for school. It was just never my thing. Me and dad travel some, and I've always loved it. I love seeing new places, places that look nothing like anywhere I've ever been before. I love feeling the difference in the air in places far away. Thats my goal in life; see as much as the world as possible. I want to feel the difference of what its like to swim in the waters in Grease compared to Washington. I want to taste foods from around the world. I want to hear all the different beautiful languages from around the world.

Regardless, no matter how bad I want to be across the world traveling, Im not. So I guess I should make due with what I have.
