Chapter 2 : Moving from the past

~Sandra

I wake up , feeling extremely happy  finally the day has come , the day I could move away from  this  town and start a new  life ,  a new chapter.

I wear my blue  square rimmed  glass and get out of bed and first thing  I do was look at myself in the body length  mirror and my eyes immediately  went to the huge , nasty scar on my right thigh , Yeah apparently  two piranhas  attacked my thigh and the bacteria in the water made me lose my clear eyesight  so now I have to wear glasses  if I wanna  see something or basically anything.

I lower  down my PJ shorts to hide the scar , I  just hate looking  at it. Oh and you're  probably  wondering  what happened  to  Lucas , yeah a week after the lake incident  he apparently  disappeared as in no has  heard about him in five years, while he is enjoying  his life out there I am here with two permanent reminder of that day

I sigh as I  run my fingers through  dark brown hair while I stare at myself

"Sandra , breakfast!" My mom's shouting snap me out of my thoughts and I reply "Coming!"  

I walk out of my room, and walk  down the hallway  and reach the kitchen which is the biggest room in this house

"Come on San , we have to eat fast before we can pack everything in the truck" My mom says while she places three waffles and whipped cream

I grab a fork from the cupboard and sit down , disappointed about the amount of whipped  cream on my waffles  I grab the bottle  and sprayed more and since the chocolate syrup  was also on the counter I grab it and drizzle it on the whipped  cream

"You know eating too much sugar in the morning is dangerous"

"Mom I thought we've talked about this , you give me sugar and I give you my undying love and respect"

I just could just feel my mom rolling her eyes , I take a bite  out of my waffles,  letting the chocolate,  whipped  cream and waffle melt in my mouth.

"After eating you better  make sure you bring every box in your bedroom outside" Mom says as she grabs her cup of coffee

"Ah ah ah mom  you mean I better make sure I bring every box in my EX  bedroom" I say while taking another bite

My mom pinches  the bridge of her nose "Oh my ever loving god , Sandra this is why I say  you need  a boyfriend"

"Mom who need boy-toys when you have TV to watch"

"San" Mom walks up to me and puts her hands on my shoulder "As a mother  I would be proud for what you just said but as your best friend  I have to say , you need to  start socialising with  people again"

I sigh "Mom..."

"Sandra ever since that incident  you have been  isolating  yourself  from people , you refuse to make friends-"

I interrupt my mom  "Mom I don't want any friends... I ... they'll just judge me"

"I'll guarantee you that won't  happen okay tell you what , promise  me that you'll try to make friends in your new school tomorrow" 

My mom always tries to convince  me to make friends or just talk to people  but I just don't  want to.

"Please Sandra I want you see you happy  I can't  stand seeing  you choosing to do a group  project by yourself or hearing that you eat  lunch in the library alone , I wanna see you with someone who  can make you laugh and someone who can make you angry but you still love them"
