Only A Year

chapter 1: my life story

I've been in California for two months with my cousin Lita, and my sister Aby. My aunt and uncle have been my guardians. It was suppose to be a vacation to come to California, but when my uncle asked me if I wanted to stay here a whole year and go to school, I wanted to say no only because that would mean Aby wouldnt be with me, Abys my sister and we go together everywhere even though shes a year younger than me shes always been my best friend. So I had to time to think about it. Aby decided not to go and it made me really sad because I would be the only child for once. In Georgia I live with my mom, stepdad, and my three other sisters Cynthia who is nine who has long black straight hair, Yazzlyn (or Yazzy as we call her) who had long shoulder lenth black hair with deep dimples and who is five years old, then there was Aby who has very curly brown hair with freckles on her nose and she is eleven ( although she tells people shes twelve).Back to staying in Cali I thought to my self 'when would I get another oppurtinty to stay in California for a whole freakin year'. So after awhile I accepted the offer. My aunt and uncle were excited more than I was, my aunt cant have children. My heart aches for her, Ive always wanted children hopefully one day I will.

Tommorow was the first day of my new school and I was super nervous I don't know anybody and I am very anxious.

"JANELL.... JANEEEELLLLL!" my aunt screamed, immeditly waking me up.

"What!" I screamed equally as loud

"Are you awake" she loweres her tone but still loud enough for me to hear.

"I am now" I mummbled to my self.

I opened the door to my room and went straight across the to the bathroom. Turned on the shower. While waiting for the shower to heat up I striped out of my clothes. I put my arm in the shower to make sure the water was perfect, which it was. Before stepping in I put my hair in a high bun to make sure my hair doesnt get wet. I stepped in letting the hot water hit my cold body. I cant believe this is my first day of school in California. I am so excited but yet so nervous. I dont plan on making friends. I just cant because it'll only be a year and then I will have to go through heart break and missing them. Oh I should probally wash my body. I grabbed my wash thingy ( I really dont know what to call it) and put some of my bath and body works strawberry kiwi bath soap. How long have I been in here? I steped out the shower wrapped the towel around my body and brushed my teeth and I was debating wether or not to put my hair up. Nah, I said to my self. I looked in the mirror staring at my almost black eyes. I started to brush my shoulder lenth brown wavy hair, which was thick but not to thick. I applyed a thick layer of lotion but for my face. Once I was pleased with my self I started to walk back into my room, my room had a fold out couch but it was always kept open so it looked like a normal bed which had a simple gray squared cover, I also had a little desk that holded my radio and jewelry and that was pretty much it. I opened my slide door closet. I sighed, my aunt has most of the closet I have clothes but not enough for a year. Maybe Ill ask Nena to take me (that is my aunt) shopping. After about twenty minutes of staring at my closet. I decided to wear a purple long sleeve shirt with skinny jeans and black flats. I really wasnt trying to please anyone. Im only thirteen so I cant wear makeup which is too bad im kinda ugly after shrugging it off. I grabbed my black jansport, walked into the kitchen to be greeted my a redhead who had really curly hair and freckles covering her whole body.

"Morning Nena" I greeted her grabbing an Apple.

"Morning, ready for school Janell?" she asked me.

"Yeah, but im nervous" I said.

"Dont be youll be fine" she reassures me."Oh and by the way I wont be home for dinner but Ill still pick you up after school".

"Sure thats fine" I said

Thatll be fine I like staying home im more focused when im alone. Besides Ill have alot of homework and Ill have to go walking to the mall and buy some clothes.

With that we left the apartment and into the car.Right when we were driving a boy about my age with curly hair and a white tshirt black boots and boots. He looked up for a second but just enough time for me to look at his eyes god, they were beautiful green eyes they were full of life and love.
