I find that New beginnings are overrated. Know matter how many times you try to start over you alway end up with either the past catching up to you or you become so sidetracked trying to be someone your not you lose touch with who you really are.

Me

I wasn't looking for a new beginning, my parents where and thought I needed one as well so apparently we are "reinventing ourselves" but i know that's code for my parents don't want people asking about Daniel or even knowing about him.

So we moved across the county from downtown LA to Camden in Maine. A small town north of Portland and home to about 5 thousand people. I had been here for 2 weeks and I was already bored with this place

"Why did we have to move" i groan to my parents as I walk downstairs in my pj's

"Because your father got a job here" Mum says

"Reinventing ourselves" dad reminds me

"How could I forget" I roll my eyes and make myself some cereal.

I am the girl in your class that knows the answer to everything and most of the time sits alone at lunch and is absolutely horrid eat any physical activity I even find walking hard sometimes. To be honest I probably have enough credits to graduate right now but according to my parents "school is a valuable time" I don't get that, it's a pain in my ass

I walk upstairs and for the first time I am going to a school without a dress code and well in general a public school, since I can remember I have always been to private schools.

I stare at my wardrobe and try figure out what I can wear...

I sigh in the mirror and take out my long dark brown hair and It curls it's natural curls

I sigh in the mirror and take out my long dark brown hair and It curls it's natural curls. I rub some moisturiser into my face and don't put any makeup on. I slide my bag into my should and take a deep breath and smile

"You gonna be fine" I tell my self as I puff out my tucked in shirt a bit. With that I walk out, I live a decent 30 minuet walk from school but I don't have a car and Mum and dad are already gone

The school is already swarming with people when I arrive and my heart starts racing. People stare at me and whisper to there friends and I make sure I remembered to put pants on...I did

"Hi" I smile walking up to the counter at the office "I'm the new girl Amelia Jones and I kinda need like my classes or something like that" I blab on

"What did you say?" The says says looking at me taking out her earphones

"I'm new" I say sighing

"Ah Amelia jones!" She grabs a chocolate and out it in her mouth "here is all your paper work" she places about 6 sheets of paper in front of me "have a good day" she says and puts her earphones back in

"Thanks" I mutter to myself and pick up the papers and try figure out my way around.

I scan my timetable and to be honest I have no clue what any of this means. Next thing I know I run into something
