Paisley was the girl who thought it was best to hide in the shadows. Until her Mother decided it was time for a move, that only meant that it was time for her shadow hiding to end, because most people know being the new kid is always a big conversat...
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
I awoke from my slumber thinking and wondering what it would be like if I could wake up into another universe or another generation, and to just fit in. But I don't mean to just fit in but to have someone to run and look for in the morning crowds, to gossip about our weekend, how many cute boys we saw and what we were doing for this up coming summer. But unfortunately that isn't my life, I sit by myself
Don't get me wrong its perfectly fine to sit by myself but sometimes I miss that connection that people have when they both agree on something, or when they have a disagreement but always come back together
I use to sit with a girl named Vivian, many would think I bet she just turned into the queen bee and is now your worst enemy. No Viv and I just had different interests and never clicked so it didn't surprise me when she left me for another group, but she still smiles to me in the halls but thats as far as it goes. never a 'hey P how are you?'
I wouldn't mind being asked that every now and then, no one knows what goes on in this head of mine, hell I don't even understand it sometimes, but it wouldn't hurt.
"Paisely get up!" mom yells from downstairs, which forces me out of my train of thought.
"okay, okay I'm up!" I yell back, slowly I pull my self out of my glorious bed to only drag myself towards the shower, but then I remembered today is my last day at my current school moms now ex-boyfriend lasted the longest, 2 whole years I was staring to like him but mom has a way of making them run, so of course now we are moving towns yet again but of course her excuse "I got offered a bigger and better job"
"Morning Anna" I sigh standing in my younger sisters doorway, she really got the looks from dad, clear skin blue eyes, she truly was beautiful.
"Morning P" Anna yawns, after having a shower, putting a little concealer to cover my bags, brushing the eyebrows, I was now searching through my cupboard for an outfit.
I end up choosing a grey knit, white jeans and brown sandals. Throwing my hair into a messy bun I was done
"Morning momma" I whisper giving her a peck on the cheek. My mother was also the definition of beautiful, her long wavy brown hair, blue eyes and tan skin no wonder she doesn't take long to find a new man
I take some toast and I'm on my way, I prefer to walk but Anna takes the bus
walking helps me prepare for the day, I like to think of all the things that need to get done today, like hand in my biology assignment, say goodbye to Gracie at the front desk, and thank her for all the times she'd let me sit with her, thank Professor Dallas for believing in my writing
I did love this school, I had people I trusted and who encouraged me to step out of my box. Maybe it was because I thought boyfriend number 4 was for real this time and I allowed my self to breath, biggest mistake.

When the bell went to signal my last ever class here, I felt the weight lift of my shoulders I was done here for good and that made me smile but, that smile soon disappears when I saw Harley walk past me
She loves to make my life even more of a living hell, and yep you guessed it Viv left me for her, "finally the freak is leaving" Harley Smirks barging past me, I've never let what she says get to me and I still won't till this day.
"Harley" I yell catching up to her, she turns around flipping her hair over her shoulder
"what nerd" she snickers, now everyone is watching great P great work.
"I just want to say thank you, all your words over these 2 years, not only made me stronger but immune from them, so honestly thank you Harley and have an amazing life, TA TA" I wave walking away I was done
Goodbye old life, hello new opportunities

It was moving day, and we were on the road mom said it was about an 5 hour drive so, instantly I put my headphones in, clicking London Grammars new song Oh Woman Oh Man and fell asleep
Memory
we were all sitting at the dinner table, smiling and laughing talking about our day and what had happened except my Father, something probably happened at work it is always like this, and then later at night I would hear mom crying in the guest room
"Hey dad, guess what" I exclaim
"I got an A on my artwork do you want to see it!" I jump in excitement
"SHUT UP YOU LITTLE SHIT!" my father screams, he was always so mean towards me, it wasn't until I asked mom the next day that she told me I wasn't her child but aunt Sasha's child, my father had had an affair with aunt Sasha
All I could do was cry, cry and cry... I wasn't Anna's full sister or my mother who I adored, daughter, I've never felt so alone, this couldnt be right... could it?
I never looked at my father the same he was a cruel man, and my mother stayed for another 5 years, why I will never know and she never talks about it. But one day he was gone, he just left his two daughters with his wife who had stood beside him even though he had the biggest secret ever. And he's never had contact since that day
"wake up P, we're here!" Anna jumps out of her seat to look at the new house
It was an old cottage styled home, veranda out front, two stories and the outside was painted white, it backed onto the beach

after settling in and unpacking we all decided to go get something to eat, the town was small only had a few streets with shops, one shopping mall and many houses just like ours
we stopped at a pizza joint, walking inside we made our way to the counter to order and there standing in front of me was the holy grail of guys, his name badge stated Seth, I think I was red all over. He must have caught me looking because he smirked, and oh wow I went weak at the knees, no guy not even back in Georgia could make me red and they were cute, who was this guy and why did he make me so cliche girly?.
