TEN KIDS

Who we are?

There were always ten of us. We were all best friends since kindergarten. Ten friends that would go out to hang out and explore new things every day for the past ten years. Since we were eight, we were always outside but we weren't normal kids playing on the playground like others. We were exploring stuff. We explored every part of the forest and after a while when we were fifteen, we started exploring abandoned buildings. Houses, churches, hospitals even prisons although anything bad never happened to us.

My name is Chloe Dawson and now I am 35 years old. My childhood was not easy at least my teenage years weren't. But before I go into more detail, I want to tell you about my friends. I have a boyfriend and his name is Jake Lockwood, he is very good looking and amazing. He enjoys exploring things as well. He is kind of special. I don't really know why but he is and I really love him. We always had this connection since we were ten but we started dating when we were fifteen. My best friend since we were eight is Amy Forbes, she is my life. She always tells me the truth and she always have my back. Then there is Caleb Smith, Amy's boyfriend they are together since they were fifteen like me and Jake. Caleb is the shy one but Amy loves him and that is all that matters. He is also Jake's best friend. All four of us are like a best friend forever thing. We are always together we are doing this double date things and stuff couples do together. But I said there are ten of us. Who are the others then? Well, Mike Wilson and Kayla Potter are a thing also in our group. But they are more silent ones and normally they don't show up when we go exploring. They are both really paranoid which seems to be bad for them because they are scared of exploring abandoned things. Brooks Horan is the funny one, he loves to make jokes and put us all in a good mood, he is like a clown in our group. But he is totally in love with our doll Stella Gilbert but she never noticed that. She still doesn't know how he feels about her. Kind of sad, yeah, I know. But you know there is always at least one that is full of themselves in a group and in my case, here is Veronica the popular one also the 'generous' one. But she is okay I guess I mean we never really hang out. Also, there is George the creep. He never says anything and by anything, I mean anything. He never said a word. But no one seems to bother so he is hanging out with us.

Writing this after years it's kind of hard because all of this that happened after really hurt me. Let me just tell you that you won't believe what I went through. But let's start now with the whole story. I will start in the beginning.
