New Start

How We Got Here

Yesterday was a big day for me. Me and my mum moved from our old home town to a completely different one.

After a big Tsunami in my old town, we lost everything. Luckily mum found a nice place to live that was affordable and was near a public school.

Tomorrow, I'm starting at a new high school. It will be tough, but mum says I should pretend that it's a new start to a whole new life. But i can't stop thinking about the tsunami.

I lost one of my closest friends. Her name was Rene. She was my first friend. And i could have stopped her from dying! But the wave was too strong. It was all my fault...

I try to forget about that horrible day, but it's one of those memories you can't let go of.

I've never had a crush on anyone. I've always been the shy, quiet type. I don't really think anyone knew i existed, let alone liked me. I've always kept to myself, and not really had anymore more than 1 friend.

I don't know that I'll make any friends in my new school, but I'll try, i guess.

As much as it hurts i have to let go, it's hard. But i know it's something i have to do...
