Her name is Elizabeth Mendoza. She's 16 and moved to California. She starts high school, but...
She didn't exactly move with her family, her mother passed away when she was 12 because of her abusive dad. She also has a little sister named Natasha.

I woke up at 8:30. Brushed my teeth, got dressed, and ate breakfast.
Me: Hey Bean! Ready for your walk?
I was talking to my dog. He's so cute. I love him. Tanya let's me go outside and I'm dressed like this:

I walked outside with Bean and we started walking around the neighborhood. After about 10 minutes of walking, I saw a cute guy outside. It looked like he was filming a tiktok. We made eye contact and I tried to hide my blush. And I just realized, he has the same dog as me! Aww, adorable. Suddenly, Bean ran to his dog dragging me with him.
Me: Shit, Bean! No! Stop it.
The guy's dog went up to Bean and he came up to me.
Me: sorry my dog just dragged me over here. I think he likes your dog.
Guy: Yeah , I can tell. You okay? Oh and my name's Eric by the way.
Me: oh sorry, I'm fine, my name's Elizabeth, but people call me Lizzie.
E- Eric
E: Yeah I know Lizzie. I follow you on tiktok. Do you wanna come inside? Your elbow looks bad.
Me: oh yeah sure, I didn't even notice my elbow.
We went inside and he got a bandage for my elbow. He looked really nice and I think we could be friends.
Me: Hey, Eric. Why haven't I seen you around? I've been living here for almost 5 years.
E: yeah? I just moved here 6 months ago.
Me: oh, what school are you going to? I go to Westview Highschool.
E: really? Me too! It's odd how we've never noticed each other.
Me: yeah it is. Well, I should probably get going. Tanya would get worried. Bye, and thank you!
E: yeah bye you're welcome!
At home
Me: Hey Tanya
T: who was that?
Me: oh, just somebody who moved here recently. He's around my age, his name is Eric.
T: oh, they live only 3 houses away. And you fell and made yourself look like an idiot.
Me: yeah I know. On my third round around the neighborhood, he was outside and Bean went to his dog and we just talked. He's really sweet. You know he goes to my school but I've never seen him around. He never caught my eye. Which is weird because he's kinda cute.
T: (smiling) okay, whatever.
Me: what? Why are you looking at me like that?
She just flipped her hair and left, Tanya was beautiful. I always envied her. Not like I hate her type, but the I'm proud of her type. She's kind and has beautiful brown eyes that glow in the sun. And her skin, the color of the creamiest chocolate, she has clear skin, which I always wanted. Okay, now I sound obsessed because I also have clear skin. But what I mean is, in all the 4 years of living with her, I haven't seen a single zit on her.
