Valentina And Clementine

[Valentina]

My name is Valentina Montgomery; formerly known as Valentina Petrello.  I was abandoned by the two people who were supposed to provide me with warmth and affection. My mother and father were so piss poor they couldn't afford to provide for themselves much less a small child. Fast forward to when I was 4 years old, sitting on the old, rusty swing set in our ghetto neighborhood patiently waiting for mommy and daddy to come back with the coat they said they were gonna go grab for me. Long story short, little Valentina sat there patiently waiting for her parents to come back and hours went by but before I realized I had started sobbing. I was young but even I knew I had been abandoned by my own parents...

Some people had found me on the street and taken me in. There were other kids just like me who no longer had parents. Some were just tiny babies but others were much older than me-and not to mention taller. I was never tall, I got my height from my mothers Italian side of the family I think. Even now that I'm 17 years old, I hardly reached 5"2. I hated being the shortest out of all my friends growing up because even the people I was older than would treat me like a kid. My hair is long and brown, or at least what's left of it. I have a tendency to constantly dye my hair a light brown because dark brown just looks like shit. Literal shit. I love most of my qualities because I know better than to not appreciate what I have. Now sure, there's a lot of people in the foster care system who got great pleasure from poking on other people's insecurities but I knew better than to let them get to me.

Around my 9th birthday, a family had come in to adopt me. Their names were Andy and Anna Montgomery. Aka my current ,wonderful, parents. They may not be my biological parents but they sure as hell feel like they are. Even their extended families treat me like I'm one of them. I've never felt excluded in a family event and let's just say it didn't take long for me to start feeling comfortable around them. I can't imagine ever not being a Montgomery.

Not long after I was adopted, I was acquainted with our neighbors, Ella, Edmondo, and their daughter Clementine Picolli. Clementine had to be the most beautiful and sweet girl anyone could ever meet. We got along as soon as we met each other and even though we were so different, it made us feel closer to each other. We were both the same age, Clem being 4 months younger than me so i was ecstatic to have met her.

Clementine and I were almost in the exact same positions. Clem's dad had left her at birth and her mom commited suicide when Clem was hardly 5. She had seen her mother slit her wrists and drown in a pool of her own blood. I can never get her to talk about and it's just about the only thing that clementine and I probably also don't like to talk about. Whenever I think of her pathetic parents I get furious because who can do that such a small child.

Nevertheless Clem had never been anything but happy from the first day I met her. She's always got a bright smile plastered on her face and I can tell that Ella and Edmondo feel like they're the luckiest parents alive. They know all about her history and instead of being hesitant to take in an emotionally scarred child, they jumped at the sight of such a strong and beautiful young child. They're the type of parents that would dedicate all their time and devotion towards their little princess and nothing in the world makes me happier.

Clementine is currently 17 and stands at least 1 inch shorter than me- and I've got to admit that I take great pleasure at that fact. She's childish and adorable and just needs to be protected. Hands down the most lovable human.

Clem and I closer than anyone can possible imagine. At school we tend to avoid each other but with good reason. The two of us hang out with completely different groups of people. It's not that we're embarrassed of each other but it's just tiring answering the same questions over and over again.

How do you guys know each other?

I would've never imagined you two being friends, how'd that happen?

Who is she??

Are you guys related?

Like damn, seems to me like no one can mind their own business. Other than all that, Clem is kind of a loner at school whereas although I'm not exactly "popular" I wouldn't say I'm not well known around the school. People have a bad habit of making up rumors about me for no reason at all whether they be good or bad.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm just as shy as Clementine but I guess I'm better at hiding it. Clem is constantly getting hit on by the baseball players which makes it harder for her to come out of her little shell. Girls don't seem to like her too much either but I think it's mostly just because they're jealous of her.

Clementine doesn't wanna be seen with me at school because she's worried she'll ruin my reputation but she knows I couldn't care less about that. I pushed her to talk to me at school for a while until I realized that she hated the attention she got whenever she was with me...
more girls seemed to notice her and more rumors about her went around so by the time freshman year began, I completely cut myself off from her. I didn't want her getting more hurt because I was being a pest.

Other than at school we spend every minute of the day together. From breakfast to dinner, Clem and I would spend that time together. Neither of us have ever had a boyfriend despite being asked out multiple times because neither one of us would have the time for a boyfriend or dates considering how we spend all of our time with each other. There's no one better for me than my little Clem.
