A few days have passed by. I've kept to myself because there's nothing to talk about with my parents because they know I'm upset about leaving our home town. Every morning I open my window in my room and breathe in the fresh summer air. There's this pretty tree in my back yard. I decided to walk over to it. The tree was in a perfect spot. It was about 10 feet away from the lake. There was just enough shade to block the sun from going in my face. I sat down against the tree and looked out into the lake. It was so quiet and peaceful. For the time I've been here I was actually relaxed and happy.
I took a drive down town to see what kind of things there are to do. There's a mini mall, movie theatre, ice cream shops, clubs, and so much more. I first check out the mini mall. It basically has every store and food stands. I walk around and go in a couple of stores. While walking around there's this big group of kids my age walking my way. I casually don't pay attention and look forward walking on the other side of them. I walk confident so they don't have an impression I'm a loser. As I pass by them all the guys stared at me and smiled. I saw this at the corner of my eye. I acted like I didn't care so they would look at me more. I could hear them whisper about me, but in a good way. I only heard one say, "Damn! Who's that?" I couldn't believe it! A guy who looks very attractive saying that about me! I've never felt that much excitement before. I felt so good about myself.
