That Winter

That Winter 18

The next day was rush hour, my new high school I will be attending is called Richmond high school.

I know no one and this will be my last year for high school. So yes I am excited.

I am dressed in a floral skirt and topped with a button down shirt with no sleeves.

I want to make a good first impression, so dressing up is key.

I had said that I don't wear lots of makeup but today I will just put on lipstick and eyeliner.

I put on some sandals and went down stairs for breakfast.

My aunts name is lindy and her husband is away on business she had a son but unfortunately he was killed by a moving train.  He was my best friend and I secretly liked him.  He had eyes for a Girl far prettier than I was.

It was summer and I was visiting aunt lindy and Peter her son.

He was as handsome as always and I was small and timid while Ann was elegant and beautiful, she too loved Peter and so did he.

We were walking when all of a sudden she drops her hat.

When he went to retrieve it he was stuck and he was unable to escape the train coming our way.

I would blame Ann for his death but as I got older I understood that it was never her fault.

Ann was my best friend, I had moved back to the states. Living in New York for a while till we got a call from Ann, she had cancer, back then there was nothing the doctors could do.

She suffered the loss of her lover and now this. I begged my parents to live with aunt lindy so I could comfort my friend.

I stayed there for the summer.

Ann's cancer was only getting worse. She was ready to let go but I wasn't.

I lossed Peter and now it's Ann. Why? Is this some kind of sick joke.

I'm at the punch line and I was not laughing.

She died in the month of fall, her body could not fight off the new change of weather so it was the cold that killed her. She died in her sleep.

I went to wake her up that morning, I called her once,  called her twice. No answer.

I knew then that she was not coming back,  I cried so hard that I could not see correctly.

Days went by that she had died,  days turned to months, and months turned to years.

I loved her and she loved me that is what I still remember her by. The Most beautiful woman ever and she died beautiful.

Memories were filling my mind, it was painfully nostalgic.

I ate breakfast and aunt lindy drove me to school.

It is a new year and off I go! Hello Sydney! I get dropped off and I'm walking to the front office, sound familiar?

I get my schedule and go to my first class.

I was walking, taking in my surroundings. I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings when all of a sudden something hard slams into me. I fall on my butt. I look up and see a very cute and hot boy in front of me. I honestly thought he was glowing . He had the most cutest face.

He helps me up.

"Are you okay? "

" yeah, I'm okay. " oh good lord I sound like a moron. Be cool Christen!

" Names Ashton Irwin! What bout you! "

" it's Christen, Hamins"

"You don't look familiar. Are you knew here? "

"Yes I transferred here."

" What class are you having? "

" Um I think it's Art? "

" I have that class I can show you where it is. "

We were walking and it was some what nice,  I  can relax, no more running.

" Where were you from? "

" I was from England but I left to the states when I was a child, my family travels so Sometimes I would live in New York or here or back to England. "

" Sounds hectic I can't imagine. It must be fun moving from place to place. "

" It can be at time,  but the new school is what gets me. New school means new friends. The places are beautiful. "

" sounds like fun to me. "

I look at him, confused.

" How so? "

" Well, you get to see new people rather than the same ones your whole high school life, you can be a diffrent person every where you go. I see it as an adventure. "

" I never looked at it that way. "

" that means that you have not lived to the fullest. "

He stops in front of a door. Guessing  this is it.

" We are here.. "

I was in thought till I woke from it.

I go in and see new faces.

" You must be Christen. Come in. "

The teacher was a woman in her thirties. I stepped inside.

" Introduce yourself. "

" Hello everyone, my name is Christen Hamins. I'm new, I'm from New York and glad to be here in Australia. "

" Yes, you can sit next to Mr Irwin. "

I looked to see Ashton wave at me.

Well, let's make the best of it.

SO sorry if it's short. I had school testing and it sucked. I will make it up. I will continue my story. again sorry for the wait.

Thanks for reading, Tory out. :*
