Crashing and Crushing

Chapter One

Crashing and Crushing

Hey life! I've missed you. Where'd you go?

If you haven't noticed, I now have no social life. I blame the egotistical back stabbing cheater I called a boyfriend for so long. Though if I thought about it, I guess you could say it was my fault (for trusting the damn 'thing'). Anyway, my so called 'friends' won't talk to me, or anybody for that matter.

But it's okay. I've already made a plan. Me, Sophia Jackson, will now officially be Kaity. I don't have the last name yet but the first is good for now. I also don't know if I should live in the country or city. If I live in the city then I would be able to have new friends but its more likely to run into someone who knows about my temporary misplacement of my life. If I live in the country then its more likely not to run into anybody who knows me but it'll be hard to have a fresh start with my only friends as chickens. Hard choice. Maybe I'll just move to an unknown island, where nobody will ever find me, AND I'll have an endless supply of bananas! There better not be any monkeys on that island, like hell I'm sharing my bananas.

I slowly come out of my amazing daydream of running on an island eating one banana after the other. Once I'm back in reality, I'm looking into the eyes of my worried mother with her hands on my shoulders.

"Hey mom! I love your hair! Did you do something new to it? Not that it was ugly before. Oh, and is that a new perfume? I love it!"

I was rudely interrupted by my mom putting a hand over my mouth. She retreated her hand and just stood there. She has a scowl on her face and her arms are crossed. After staring at me for a couple minutes she speaks, "What do you want." She said it in an irritated tone like she didn't care, like it was a no anyway.

"Can we move to an island that nobody knows about with an endless supply of bananas?" I give her my best puppy dog face and quiver my lip a little. I end it by saying in a sickeningly sweet voice, "I'll love you forever."

"First off, what gave you such a stupid idea?!?" Thanks mom. Its not like my ego isn't already injured. And it's not stupid... "Also secondly, you'll love me forever if we move to an island with pineapples," I quickly inserted a quiet 'bananas' but she carried as if she didn't hear me," or not. So no, we can not move to an island filled with grapes."

I didn't even try to correct her because its not like she would even acknowledge me. I look at her with the most rude stare and stick my tongue out. So mature, I know. However, I don't have to impress stuck up fishes anymore. So I'm just... me. No more dressing to impress. I can wear sweat pants anytime I want. Which, by the way, was unheard of in my clique pf popularity. I can be me, the real me.

I stomp to my room, which doesn't really work in slippers. I also didn't want to slam my door because it was. I sat on my bed sulking for my mom saying no to my (amazing) plan. Though, a percentage of me did know she was going to say no, but that percentage was small. Very small.

I sprawl out on my bed. I think of what I'm going to do today. The town shuns me, I have no friends, and there is nothing entertaining in my house. Besides the Tv that is.

Ugh! I used to never have to be bored. Every minute of everyday would be planned out. Hang out with friends, hang out with boyfriend, and, the essential, computer time. I used to not be able to go a day without my computer. However, now I find it a waste of time. I notice that it's all gossip, and all about me. Practically all not so nice things.

My phone rings the ring tone that always made me smile. Now it makes me want to throw up. I look at the caller, even though it's obnoxiously obvious. It was Aiden. He was the only one with that ring tone.

I reluctantly answer. Not saying anything, I wait for him to say what he has to say.

"Sophia! Thank God you answered. You need to forgive me. You know I didn't mean anything by it. She was the one who started it. You know I would never do anything to hurt you. You know that right?" I did know that. I did trust him and I was apparently wrong to.
