Is There Still A FOREVER

Chapter 3 - Forget me Not

Emerald POV

I walked home alone, thinking about what happened at school. You know, I thought that maybe. Just maybe, high school would be different from elementary. A place where I could be a new me but I was wrong. People still saw me as a freak

I reached my house, or as people would say, mansion and went up to my room to get changed. After, I stared at myself for a few minutes at the mirror.

"Maybe a new hair style would be good? Or a new sense of style?" I thought to myself. Then decided, nah. I couldn't be bothered to change anything about myself. I liked the way I am

I went down to the kitchen, hoping to find someone that I can talk to but no. No Mom, no Dad, and no Anthony. Jonathan still hasn't come over yet to check on me. He must be caught up with his new friends then.

I didnt bother to look for any of my old friends earlier, after what happened. I couldnt take my mind off of that girl either. That was so rude! It wasn't my fault she bumped into me. The hallway was so crowded and she was texting on one hand and holding the coffee like it was contagious on the other.

I sighed and decided to stop thinking about it and go for a swim in our backyard. It was still awfully warm for the start of September and our pool was heated so why not? It always took my mind off of things

I went up to go change into my bikini and grabbed my towel. I immediately went running to go outside after because I couldn't wait to splash around in that water, when i suddently stopped in my tracks...

There's a guy in our backyard..

I covered myself with my towel and went to confront him

"Hey!" I yelled but he didnt turn around

"Hey you! What are you doing here?! This is private property!" I yelled again

When I started to run towards him, he got up and ran. He was too fast, but luckily he dropped something without knowing.

I went to pick it up and saw.. a broken flower keychain?

I looked at the path where he ran, confused. Why does he have something like this? And why does it seem so familiar?

I walked back to the pool, layed my towel down at one of the chairs, along with the keychain, and jumped in.

Being in the water made me forget all my worries in the world.

Except one
