Chapter 9

Kendra Pov

My name is Kendra Valencia. I live in Los Angeles and I love writing songs. When I was four years old my mother taught me to play piano. She always told me,
"The piano is you. If you touch it gently it will smile. If you touch it with force, it will be enraged."

My mother always wanted me to be successful in life. She was a musician at once but she quitted and now regrets it. My mom wants me to become a musician one day so she teaches me everyday. I always used to have fun with my mom. When I was eight years old, my mother and father starting arguing. I would listen through my bedroom and started playing piano. The next day my father wanted me to pack my things and move to America. I didn't understand why.

I remember sitting in a car window, looking at my mother and crying my eyes out. It was the last time I saw her. After two years, I still missed her. I wanted to learn a new instrument and become a musician one day so I asked my dad. Then he bought me one. I was so excited. The guitar was a little too big for me but I got used to it. After months passed by, I decided to write songs.

My father wanted me to go to school but i begged him no so he bought a tutor to teach me.

Five years passed by and my dad decided it was best for me to go to high school. I didn't wanted to go but I ended up going anyways.

I wore my new clothes dad bought for me. It was a black t- shirt, black leather jacket and some black leggings then I grabbed my gray shoes. To finish up my look I put on some makeup.

After getting ready, my dad drove me to my new school.

"Have fun Kendra!" He shouted as I exited the car.

"Oh sure, I'll have fun" I rolled my eyes.
"Oh! what now!" I sarcastically said to myself .
"Heyyy!" A boy shouted from across me.

"Byeee!" I said back and walked away.

"Hey, what's your name?" He continued.

"None of your business."

"You're mean but cute. I like you." He winked

I sighed," If I tell you my name will you get out of my face?"

"Maybe."

"My name is Kendra. Now please leave me alone."

"Okay, I'll see you later cutie."

"Whatever" I rolled my eyes and  went into the principal's office. He told me about the school for a while then gave me a list for my classes.

My first class I had chemistry with Mr. Andrew. The bell rang and I headed into class. At class, I sat in a seat and started doodling on my desk because I was bored.

"Hey, new girl..." A voice said.

"That's my seat!"

"And..." I said then the whole class started surrounding us with their faces in awe.

"Well, get out!"

"Wish I can but I'm forced to be here. Sorry." Then the teacher came in.
"Students take your seats. I'm Mr. Andrew, your new chemistry teacher today and also we have a new student today. Why don't you introduce yourself?

"Hi I'm Kendra, I was born in L.A
And moved here. I love music and I love playing music more.." I started. "I would love it if you guys introduce yourselves."

"My name is Vanessa De Saint-Pierre. My father is a famous designer from Paris." A blond girl said. Telling from her voice I can see she is an 'A' class, popular girl.

"Awesome." I replied

"I'm Alexis Maretez. Friends call me Lex but you can call me Alexis because you know..." "You're not one" she whispered then the class bursted with laugher.

"I'm Jefferson Wolfie but you can call me Jeff." Then the class started laughing again.

"This is so annoying" I thought to myself. "Okay I think I heard enough thank you." And headed back to my seat. It's going to be a long day.
