Kylies POV

"Could this class be any more boring?" Layla whispered next to me.

"I like school, so I don't think its boring. Actually, I think it's fun." I explained to Layla, but she shrugged it off and changed the subject.

"Chad is totally looking at you, more like checking you out..." She looked at me and winked, also nudging me to look back at him. I rolled my eyes. Why would I be interested in a guy that sleeps with any girl he lays his eyes on? She hit me on the shoulder, but I ignore her, paying attention to the lesson. Eventually, she stops, sighing.

Finally, after all the classes, I get in my car and I drive home. While I'm driving, I start thinking. Will I ever find my true love? Will I be alone forever? I'm not good enough. No one will love me for me, and not love me for my body. I push these thoughts out of my mind as I pull into my driveway. I notice as I pull in, that my mom's ex-boyfriend is here. Why is he here? Did he hurt my mom?

When I walk in, I see them sitting on the couch talking. I shut the door loudly, so they know that I am here.

"Hey, honey! come sit down, we need to talk to you." My mom tells me, nervously. I stare at her for a minute, wondering if I should do what she wants or if I should run up the stairs. I decide to play nice and sit down.

I sit down quietly. The room is filled with silence. Awkward tension-filled silence. John breaks the silence. "So, i called your mom, and we got back together! But that's not the only great news, Later today I got called by a huge company, in Los Angeles, California. So long story short, we are moving tomorrow!"

"Isn't that great honey? A fresh start. New school, new people, new opportunities." She says fake excitement is written all over her face.

I sit there for a moment, get up, and walk up the stairs to my room. Is she crazy? Move with him? Does she forget what happened when we lived with him? I start crying because I'm scared to move in with him again. After I get it all out of my system, i decide to text Layla and Danielle, to tell them it's moving across the country.

Hey guys. I want you to know that i love you so much and i also wanted to say thank you for being the most amazing best friends that a girl could ask for. I'm moving to California with my mom and her boyfriend. Please don't text me back, this is hard enough on me. This isn't goodbye, it's just a see you later.

xoxo,

Kylie.

I decide to go to sleep since nothing else matters because I'm leaving anyways. With that, I fall into a deep dreamless sleep.
