File Name: My Forgotten Life

Prologue

'I remember that day...when it all happened. The last day of 5th grade. I lost my memories, emotions, and my other half.′

When Time Stopped

"Good Morning!" I happily said as I walked in my classroom waiting for the rest of my classmates to reply."Hey, Ashley!" And so on. "Hey!" I said as I waved back and walked to my desk in the front of the room. I usually sit in the back on top of platforms that are filled with billions of colorful, fluffy, pillows, and stuffed animals. The first class was a normal four wall room, but it has the usual, it was filled with education posters. As I set my stuff on my desk I gladly went to my usual spot of the room. Before I got to my spot, I voice yelled out my name.

"Ash!" Said a very familiar voice.

When I turned around I saw a very shy smile on a face I have seen my whole life. "Mar! "Morning!" I responded as my friend came closer to me to talk.

"Good morning." She said as she giggled. This was Marie. Ever since we were in kindergarten we always had the same classes together. We were always unexpectedly a pair from the first day of school. Every year we would have fun to the fullest because we were afraid that we wouldn't be put in the same class when the next year came around. We were never separated from each other, though. It was like we were one and the same, no one would be able to separate us. No matter how hard they tried. I was kind of surprised on how long we've known each other.

"How are you this morning, Ashley?" Asked my best friend.

"Oh, I'm just fine and ready to go, you?" I said as I was adjusting my spot within the pillow pile.

"I'm a little nervous, to be honest." I tried to figure out what Mari meant by "nervous". But then it hit me.

"Oh, today we're going to swim beach today huh? I almost forgot all about it."

"Do you have everything you need?", Marie asked worried for me.

"Na! I'm good. You have nothing to worry about. I'll be just fine. I can't wait!" I answered as I sank into the mixture of pillows and stuffed animals.

Almost making myself disappear completely. As I laid there completely silent and in the dark, pure serenity. Until a burst of painful, bright light came into my eyes. Yet another familiar voice spoke."Oi! You're not gonna fall asleep again, are you? I just got here too."

"Kaleb!" I jump a little in surprise to see that his face was inches away from mine when I opened my eyes. This person who almost scared the daylights out of me is Kaleb Tachibana. I met Kaleb in Georgia. Why was I in Georgia you might ask? It was just personal family reasons.

When I first met Kaleb it wasn't a 'normal' meeting. He would always pick on the teacher and the girls in the class or so I heard from my classmates after a week or so after arriving. When I first walked through the classroom doors, I never saw so many things being thrown across the room, and so much noise too. I thought I could walk in without be being noticed, clearly, that wasn't an option so when I yell out, "Is Mrs.Winsworth here?" When I looked around to see if I saw the teacher, but his eyes met mine almost instantly. I looked away quickly to continue my search since I didn't want anything to do with this situation. The rest of the boys stopped what they were doing and looked at me while whispering among themselves. I was surprised the teacher came out of the sacred bunch of girls to ask me if I was the new student. I nodded and introduced myself while picking up a couple chairs and desk here and there.

At that moment Kaleb spoke. "You think you can fit in in my classroom?" Then out of nowhere, he dragged me out of the classroom. Startling the other girls and even the teacher, but when he ran with my arm in a tight grip I had not choice but to tell him to let me go. Once we were outside he then pinned me against the wall. That's when he kissed my cheek. For no apparent reason thinking I would be traumatized, but I stood still waiting for him to get it over it. I was surprised about everything that just happened, the classroom, the authority this kid thought he had made me laugh.He backed away and just looked at me with his golden brown eyes, then he whispered something in my ear that irritated me.
