The Changes (On Hold)

Chapter 1

Kenzie's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I don't know why this is so hard!" I say rolling out of bed.

"Because you hardly ever sleep at night!" My mom says disappointed. I hate her condescending voice. Sometimes its really difficult to concentrate with her standing over my shoulder.

"Ugh, can you please leave my room so I can get changed?"

"No."

"Why?" I ask groaning.

"Because you can't be trusted. After what happened."

"I already said I was sorry! How would I know that Ryan would send that stuff," I say remembering

"Well you don't even know this boy! And you sent the same stuff back!"

"You mean like you didn't know my dad?!" I scream angrily. That got her. Her lips tighten in frustration. "That got you didn't it? Please just leave my room so I can get changed. I don't have a camera to record me changing. Just please leave my room."

"Fine but this is not over." She says walking out. I can't stand her. I can't stand my own mother. How sad is that?

I walk into the bathroom, brushing my long brownish blonde hair and doing my make-up, using eyeliner that makes my brown eyes pop. I curl my hair with my brand new curling wand. (Thank you Santa) I pick out a tank top from hot topic. It's from The Fault in our Stars. I love hot topic, just looking at their t-shirts. Some people think it's just for like "emo or goth" people, but have you listened to "Emo" music? It's more heartfelt then Nicki Minaj's Stupid Ho, thats for sure. I pull on a pair of jeans, my favorite pair. I barely manage to get my favorite pair of vans on before my phone buzzes. I look at the screen.

Eric:
New Message

I slide open my iPhone screen putting my passcode in. It's only the 4 but I have an upgrade soon, and I have Verizon so if I trade in my 4 I get a new one free well except like $20 for activation but I can get the 6! Yay!

Eric:
Hey! Whats up babe 😘

Me:

Eric:

Me:
Nope I got her to leave 😄

Eric:

Me:

Eric:
Kay babe

I walk downstairs and open the freezer. I grab the toaster strudels and pop two into the toaster and wait for it. My mom walks in, ugh.

"Whats wrong sweetie?"

"Nothing. Why do you have to get involved in my life?"

"Because I'm your mom."

"I don't want you to ask about my life anymore."

"I will."

"Why?" I say grabbing and frosting my toaster strudels.

"Because I'm your mom and I say so."

"Good one mom. You should be a lawyer."

She glares at me. "Get your ass to school."

"Finally no fucking condescending voice." I say putting the toaster pastries on a paper towel before grabbing one and shoving it into my mouth.

"Go." She says pointing at the door.

"I have to get gym clothes." I say lying. Being 16, you can be late and it's your own fault. I run upstairs and grab my duffel bag. She won't suspect it, I throw my favorite jeans, dresses, shirts, shoes, and beanies of course, in and then my makeup. I grab my charger, my laptop, everything I might need, and I threw it in. I went out the back, so as to not be questioned by my dear mother as to why my gym bag was so big and bulky.

I unlock my car, a red VW beetle convertible, and jump inside. I throw my bag into the passenger seat then insert my keys into the ignition and turn them. The car springs to life. Glad to see you're still running smoothly. Unlike my life.

"Good girl," I whisper to myself. I drive smoothly to school.

When I get there I park my car and grab my bag. I walk into the school. I get some stares, I've never been popular and now that I am, well, I've had a hard time adjusting.

I'm suddenly wrapped up in someones arms from behind.

"Good Morning beautiful." I heard Eric's familiar voice.

"Good Morning yourself." I say turning around and kissing him lightly. He runs his fingers through my hair.

"Your hair is so pretty."

"That was a little random don't ya think," I question turning around. "And couldn't you have come up with something better than pretty? We ARE Juniors, I would hope your vocabulary stretches past the word, pretty." I say teasing him.

"Ehhh... I just happen to get okay grades because of you, I don't remember half the stuff," He says. I ruffle his short black hair. "Hey hey hey now! It takes forever to get it to look like this."

"Sure it does," I say, playfully rolling my eyes. He's not much taller than me, only by a couple inches, and he yells at me for wearing heels that make me taller than him. (Playfully of course). He grabs my hand lacing his fingers through mine.

"Soo, so you have any plans for later tonight?" He asks.

"I don't know, I'll have to check my schedule."

"Ugh! You and your stupid busy life."

"Hey!" I say playfully smacking him. (Well it was a little harder then I thought.. but oh well)

"Owww. You know I was kidding!"

"I know, I just like seeing you pout. It's kind of adorable."

"Awwww! Look at the LOVERS!" My best friend Sydney says.

"Awww, shutup." I say blushing. Eric and I were just a couple of kids trying to help each other through the hard times in life. We may be teenagers, but we both certainly had our flaws, and there were definitely some bumps in our so seemingly perfect relationship. Me becoming popular didn't only affect me, although it did mean putting in some serious OT at work to have enough money to buy all sorts of new clothes, accessories, and all that fantabulastic junk, but it also affected my friends. Sydney and I had gone from being those weird girls who stop talking for days at a time and write books, to the girls everybody wanted to be. Sydney has some stuff going on at home with her parents, which I TOTALLY understand, and I put in some OT for her too. We share most of our clothes and plan most of them out accordingly. Now I don't mean like, matching shirts and jeans OMG! No. None of that. I mean like sweats, dresses, stuff like that. We didn't do it today but basically ended up wearing the same type of thing.

"Nice shirt!" I say looking at one of the shirts I got her from Hot Topic. Its from Doctor Who. It says like: You're the bow tie to my suspenders, and stuff like that. It's great.

"Thanks Bow tie!" She says sticking her thumbs under her suspenders. Also from Hot Topic.

Let's get to class.
