•Crystal•

I wake up to the sound of the ocean waves hitting the shore.

Looking at the time it's five, school starts in two hours.

I rise from my bed, stretching, I walk into my large bathroom.

My feet pad against the marble floor and turn the shower on.

I grab my phone and turn my playlist on and sing along to it.

Stripping my clothes off I jump in the shower.

The hot water cascades down my back as I wash my hair and hum to the melody.

Once I'm all clean I hop out and wrap myself in my white fluffy towel, walking to my room.

I open my blue closet doors and look for something to wear.

I find my blush pink halter top, white high waisted shorts and a white daisy sweater.

I walk out of my room with my phone and bag in hand.

In the kitchen my mom is cooking breakfast.

"You look gorgeous." My mom tells me as I sit at the counter.

"Thanks mom." I give her a hug

"Any plans today?" I ask as she puts a plate in front of me.

"I'm gonna go shopping and take a walk around." She tells me putting two pancakes on my plate.

"Wanna come with?" I take a minute to think.

"Nah, in just gonna hang out on the beach today." She nods and I finish up my breakfast.

I put my plate away and walk to the door.

Putting on my white high top converse I grab my phone and bag, hollering a goodbye to my mom.

Once out the door I put my headphones in and turn my music on heading for the school.

I remember this place like the back of my hand.

As I near the school I get all jittery and nervous, like the first day of school.

People stare and whisper as I pass the front doors going to the office.

They all know my story.

Lost my dad and moved away in trembles with my mom.

The lady at the front desk looks up and gasps in recognition.

"Crystal? Is that you?" She asks in her southern voice.

"Yes." I sigh.

"You've grown so much darlin'." She tells me.

I nod.

"Well here's your schedule and if you need anything else just ask." Smiling, I walk away.

Everyone feels pity for me. I can see it in their eyes.

I'm lost in thought when I collide with something hard and fall over.

"I'm so so sorry I didn-" a small voice starts to say but gasps.

"Crystal?" She asks.

I look over and see my long time best friend.

"Ella?" I ask dumbfounded.

"Its you!!" She screams and squeezes me into a hug.

Ow. She's stronger then I remember.

I hug her back feeling better that someone still cares.
