Bury my past

Just once

I thought I'd be depressed and broken for years before moving on. But I guess god has his own way to make everything better. 3 new girls joined the school a few weeks ago ; Ryan, Maria and Kristen. As they walked in I went up and introduced myself. Turns out they are really good people. Apparently Maria is an only child to her parents and so is Ryan, though Kristen has an older brother named Chris that she lives with since her parents are dead too as we sat down and talk to each other they told me that they were new to Riverdale and they told me how their parents thought that Riverdale high was cheaper than the high schools in NYC so they decided they were going to shift to Riverdale temporarily. From exchanging our names and small details we became quite close in a matter of few weeks so I couldn't address them as  acquaintances anymore  . My first step of moving on in life was working. As the school bell rang we decided that we'll complete our conversation at pops along with milkshakes and burgers. At pops we talked about almost everything I shared my story and told them that I started living there after my parents death  sparing them the horrific parts of my story. After lots of laughing and talking we all headed our own ways. I headed "home" and did my regular routine that consisted of me taking a shower, getting into my pjs brushing my teeth and doing my nightly skincare routine. As I laid down on my bed memories flooded my mind as I shut my eyes; memories of my mom, memories of FP and I, memories of how much life can be a bitch; I remembered that I was still blessed since the blossoms are of my tail and I met 3 new amazing people. I drifted of to sleep as I smiled hoping for the best.
~the next day
I woke up, thinking about nothing special. Except for the fact that today after school Ryan, Maria, Kristen and I along with Kristen's older brother Chris were going to Pops just to fill our free time. School went by normally FP didn't look at me at  all and apparently he and this girl are a thing now. He looks sooo in love...... just like he was with me. I brushed of this thought although seeing FP made me  emotionally and mentally tired other than that  the day went by with no trouble . As planned before we all met up at pops this time we had an extra guest who was clearly Kristen's older brother Chris (which I have met once or twice before but never had a formal conversation). We all sat down and ordered our meals whilst small talking. There was something about Chris I couldn't put my finger on but he sure as hell attracted all the girls as soon as he entered pops. We laughed and joked around as we discussed our lives. I was too occupied by my thoughts that I didn't realize Chris talking to me until he waved his hand in front of my face.
"Yeah?"
"Are you okay y/n?" Chris asked.
"Yeah I am fine. So what were you saying"
" I was asking if you are a local or not"
"Yes I am actually. I live here since forever" I said smiling all the while thinking God  he IS handsome. No wonder all the girls are attracted to him.
"Hey y/n" said Kristen breaking my chain of thoughts.
"Yeah?" I answered hoping she didn't realize I was staring at her brother.
"Do you enjoy living in the southside?" She asked completely outta no where. I didn't really think about my answer since  we got really close over the course of few weeks so without second thought I shook my head.
"Not really. Not anymore"  I said taking a bite from my burger.
"Well I now this isn't something anyone would say and I don't really know how to ask you plus I know this might not be easy  but we all bought a house here so that we could live separately" she said pausing for a slight second "We have an extra room  and we would like you to join us since you've helped us get to know the town and are an amazing person"
I looked at her with my eyebrows frowned.
"Are you serious?" I asked
"Yeah"  they all said surprisingly in sync Chris said it with them.
"Look guys this is great and all but I'll have to think about it"
"It's okay take your time. We won't give that room to anyone anyway" Kristen said smiling.
"Thanks guys" i said
As we We finished up our food we are headed home. As I open the door to my house, sorry........trailer . It didn't feel like home anymore . I looked around I thought it would be a great  step to help me forget about everything that happened and Although I spent a long time here I decided it would be for the best if I move out.  I know it's not gonna be easy but I have to do it in order to start a new life . I decided that this would be the first step I should  take before leaving the serpents. I wanna move on  I wanna settle down  I am tired of moving places, I really am ,I want to have a better life, A normal life for once ............just once.
