Change. Not the nicest concept in the world. Especially for someone like me. Why did we have to shift to a whole new town? High school is difficult as it is, I did not need this right now. But NO! apparently this was going to do me a whole world of good. But I couldn't even see the sliver of good here. If only mum and dad would have allowed me to stay with Grammy and Gram-pa.

"Hurry up Sweetie! You do not want to be late for school." I heard my mother's sweet voice say from behind me.

"No mom, you don't want me to be late for school, I on the other hand couldn't care less." I told frustrated while shuffling from box to box trying to find something decent to wear. It was bad enough that we had to shift half way across country, but we actually had to do it just a week before school started. I hadn't even had the time to unbox yet. THE STRUGGLE WAS REAL!

"Oh c'mon dear, you don't mean that. You are going to love it here. It's such a lovely place!" She said, optimism oozing out of each word as she spoke.

"The problem isn't about me loving here, the problem is what if they don't like me?" I spoke finally voicing my concern. My parents both had jobs where they got transferred a lot. They were both forensic scientists. So, it was shocking that we stayed as much as we did in our last town. Five years was a lot of time to be staying in one town for us. And I loved it there. That's where my Dad had grown up and my grandparents still lived there. I really missed them both. It used to be easier to shift from town to town when I was younger, that was before my social anxiety kicked in.

"Oh please!" My mom said rolling her eyes at me, "They will love you, they always do!" She reassured cupping my cheek with her soft palm. It was true, I did always end up making the nicest of friends, but that did not necessarily mean that I would meet nice people here too.

I weakly smiled at her. If only she knew how horrid we teens could be.

"Moreover, aren't you happy about reconnecting with Shane?" She asked me perkily, waltzing around looking for clothes that I could wear while I sat on my bed letting her do the work for me. What can I say? She was like a Hufflepuff, incredible at finding stuff. Also, I was feeling lazy.

Shane. That little pest of a best friend. Well, at least that's what we used to be. We had practically grown up together. Both our parents worked for the same company and they'd coincidentally almost always be transferred together. That was until the last time when his parents were transferred here two years prior to mine. I remember I had cried for days.

We truly had been best friends. He had been my confidante and I could tell him about anything that I wanted. And I mean anything. That was until he found some girl called Trisha and forgot all about me. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't jealous of her in a romantic sense. Shane is literally like a brother to me and trust me we are not the next Jaime and Cersei Lannister. But it hurts when your friends drift apart from you because of a few miles between you. Especially when you were as close as Shane and I were. When he first shifted here, we would call each other every day. But then, after he met Trisha that started slowing down and became a call once a week, and when they started going out, I would be lucky if I got to hear his voice every month. And then slowly the calls completely stopped. We would text each other, but only once in a blue moon. And I hated that. Because with him being out of my life, there was a void that was left in there. I did have other amazing friends, but no one can really fill in your best friend's shoes. Ever.
