REMEMBER

Chapter 1: We Meet Again

Being in my family never changes. Being a Carter on the other hand, there's always something different. I'm Naomi Carter, age 16 blah blah blah. I would formally introduce myself but my life isn't interesting at all. It's the same old routine with the same old people. And living with my dad in the city isn't better. My dad has a reputation of being an upperclass who got my (as what they call it) poorly lifestyle living mother knocked up. I don't know why they even are together considering they are total opposites. My mom can't take the urban customs and my dad hates the rural life. To be honest, I'm glad my dad is sending me to mom, I can get more freedom with her. Which reminds me of the day I was forced to move in the city. The day I left the only one who made my life...bright.
"Do you really have to go?" said my best friend Ahmik. "Sadly, I do. If I could stay here I totally would but...". I stared at the ground as the warm sun shines on both us making me realize we won't be apart from each other for long. "We will be together again, forever." The sound in his voice sounded as if he was holding back all his tears. I want to cry with him, but that would make things worse. Ahmid grabbed and my hand which made me jump back. We stared into each other's eyes. His eyes are so blue, like ocean waves or a whirling tsunami!, I thought. Pulled away from my daydream , I see his face determined for agreement. I nodded and gave him a warm smile.
Now those were the good days. I don't know if I'll bump into Ahmik again. I wonder how he is....Hearing my dad come barging in the door literally made me fall outta my chair.

My dad walks over with a confused grin, "Did I scare you?"
"Nope, I dreamt about a bear breaking into our home. PLOT TWIST, it was my dad." I said sarcastically.
"Honey, you know I only mean well. I know that moving back and forth between me and your mom is rough, but-".
"Yeah, I know because you guys both have different living styles but your love still grows no matter how far apart you are. I understand dad."
He looks at me, "Well, I'm glad," he walks over to me and cups my face and kiss my forehead. "No boys".
I rolled my eyes and went to my room to finish pack. I'm kind of scared to go back.
I spent the rest of the day collecting all of my belongings and messily stuffing them in my suitcase. It was gonna be a long ride.

~Next Day~
Believe it or not we made it there two days before school. My parents might live separate from each other but they are still close to each other. It took 10 hours to get there with all my bathroom break and crazy anxious food cravings. I might have a problem...anyway my parents discussed the usual how how long I would be staying and all of my information. My dad kissed my mom and gave me a bear hug. After he left, me and my mom caught up with our lives. Then boom! My mom dropped a bomb on me, I was going to prep school. I also have to wear a uniform I wanted to scream to myself 'WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FLING BING BONG!'. And yes, I do actually say that. I was so upset I ate dinner and never came outta my room. Even when she tried to bribe me food. I never deny food but this time it was different.

When I woke up the next day I had a killer neck pain. I took medicine for it and ate breakfast but the pain remained. My mom said to go take a walk outside to get familiar with the neighborhood. She gave me money too. I'm such a lucky dog! Not.
I end up going to the town square. For a rural town, I gotta say it's quite vibrant with people and stores. Which was something that never existed when I was younger....they even have a fountain.
After taking my walk around town enjoying the scenery and openness, I had an uncontrollable urge to visit 'the escape'. That is what me and Ahmik called it. It was our place.
I went up the usual path to only find a guy and a girl up here. I curiously walked closer to see that they were making out...that gave me the shivers. I was upset that these douchebags were using 'our' spot as 7 minutes in heaven. I marched up to them, raised my voice and said, "Hey! What in the actual pecan are you guys doing in 'our' spot?". They both pulled apart and stood up giving me the 'wtf' look. I gave a 'wtf' look back.
The boy finally opened his mouth. "Um, this is 'our' spot." gesturing to him and....thing.
"No, it's not. It's me and my best friends spot. We hanged here all the time. So, let me ask again, why are you guys in 'our' spot?".
He looked at me like I was crazy. "Listen. I don't think you understand. It's me and her spot and I suggest you leave".
The thing herself opened her mouth and said.
"I can tell she's new Mik. She doesn't know the rules. She also looks like good for nothing little-". Before she even finished her sentence I knocked her out. I didn't even realize my strength. The boy falls to her side asking her if she's ok. She nodded and he helped her up.
Wait, his name is Mik? What a stupid name! Lost in my ranting, he told her to get the cops.
All of a sudden, I'm shocked back in reality.
"Why did you hit her?!" the boy asked.
"Why? She was being rude to me!"
"That doesn't give you the excuse to hit her!"
"I don't care, she had it coming. And you haven't answered my question,
WHY ARE YOU IN 'OUR' SPOT?!"
Mid looks away and mumbles "...because".
"Because, what?"
He sighs and says "This was me
And my childhood best friends place. Now tell me, why are you here?"
"Well that's a shocker," I said nervously, "the same reason....".
I slowly drifted off saying that sentence.
We both stared at each other giving the same look of 'wtf'. I finally gave him a long look and the one thing I noticed was how blue his eyes were...like a tsunami. I looked away and glanced back. Is it him?
I used all of my courage and asked, "So, what is your name?".
He looked at me and smirked. "My name is Ahmik.  Ahmik White. And yours?".
I gulped, "It's me. Naomi. Naomi C-carter".
