CHAPTER 1: New life
My names Crystal Mayano and my life's no where near perfect . I'm 16 and have been home schooled since i was 4 and about to start a new life at St.Malda high. My mom thinks i have no friends because I'm quiet and keep things to myself but i think its because we keep moving every 2 months . Moms been trying to find a good job that pays well. Ever since dad died 2 years ago my mom has been kind of... wrecked.. so we have been moving like crazy and we have been on a short budget. I on the other hand have been completely fine. My mom and i just moved to California for a fresh start from everything. She wants me to have a normal life like all the other teens . I start high school tomorrow which is Tuesday, i really don't understand why I'm going to high school, it started last week and i'm a week late. To be honest ...i'm scared out of my mind...i mean what if i get bullied or people hate me.
Tueday.....
"Wake up ! Wake up ! Time for school aren't you excited!" yells mom. I open my eyes and see my mom with a huge smile on her face. I think she is more excited for me to go to high school then i am.
"I am up...I have been for the past hour...i couldn't sleep."
"Good, Now if you do not hurry up you are going to miss your bus young lady." she smiles and walks out of my room. I got up and went to my closet to see what i should wear, i do not want to be the dork who wears ugly clothes. I hate everything I have. I can not figure out what to wear so i went on a website and checked out new fashion statements.
It probably took me a hour to get ready. I ended up wearing ripped shorts with a red and black plaid longsleve crop top.I was coming down the stairs and my mom was standing there with camera's as I expected. I saw my mom shred a tear and then looked up and said, "Your father would be so proud of you." I walked up to her and smiled and gave her a hug. "Why are you crying Bella, seriously stop crying you will smudge your make up." We both laughed then i walked out the door to the bus stop. At the bus stop I looked around and must of saw 14 people staring at me. It was overwhelming. When the bus finally got there i was the last on and i didn't see anywhere to sit. A girl i was standing beside said,"You can sit beside me if you like."
"Sure, Thank you."
"I'm Stella. Whats your name?"
"My names Crystal."
"Cool name." Stella said. I smiled then turned the other way. The rest of the bus ride was silent between us. We got to school and when i got off i just stood there in front of the school...still and silent..not moving an inch until i heard someone call my name, It was Stella.
"Hey, do you want me to help you find your classes?"asked stella politely.
"Um....yes..please that would be very kind of you." she grabbed my arm gently and said 'follow me', so i did and while she was pulling me along and explaining things I realized she was like my friend.
"So there, that's it all your classes, If you need anything else i can help you." Said Stella.
"Are we like friends?"
"Ya if you want to be."
I smiled and said," Yes please i need a nice friend like you." She hugged me and said "see you later" then left. I was left alone in the halls where there were tons of people walking around. I decided to get to my first class early because i could not bare the hallways full of people, so i turn around and bumped into a person and fell on the ground, my books went flying. When i was on the ground I realized the person was a guy..tall, blue eyed, brown hair jock wearing a football bulky sweater that says 'GO BATS!' on the back and #1 with a bat beside it on the front.
