MATTIA POLIBIO A FRIEND MORE THAN A LOVER

Chapter 1

Just another story by an ordinary girl in love with a famous boy.

Annabella wakes up with her alarm clock blasting in her ear. She is a light sleeper and often considers getting a new clock but she has grown considerably attached to the old busted clock she got on her first day of school. Today is graduation after 5 long years she finally finished high school. She sits up in bed and goes through her photo album. She dabbled in photography but never took it any further than being the photographer for all the close friends.

Looking back at all the photos she remembers all the lifelong friends she has made and those she has lost. A tear falls from the eye, rolls down her cheek and finds its way onto a photo of her and her best friend Phobe.

She wonders if she and Phobe's friendship will make it though university. They weren't the type of friends to plan their lives around each other, rather support each other no matter what and follow their own individual goals in life. Annabella's heart breaks, she'll have to not only separate from her best friend, but also her family as she has been accepted to the university of new jersey.

She was reluctant to accept because of the long distance and fear of leaving home, but she knew that an opportunity like this would never come again. She had arranged to stay on boarding school. Her only problem was money. Even with the scholarship there are extra expenditures that where simply above her. Anna wasn't allowed to work, her mother believed she should focus on her school and nothing else.

Anna listened to her mother and focused on school, she didn't party, she didn't smoke and the only time she had a drink was in the comfort of her own room. Most will say she missed out on the best parts of high school, but Anna felt different, she felt as though she made the best choice any high school student could make.

She was not the smartest or the fittest, not the artiest or the prettiest, but she was hard working and determined. She studied hard and now opening a new chapter of her life. She just hopes that she does not have to go through this alone.

"Anna, you up hun." Anna and her mother had a considerably strange relationship. When Anna was younger she paid no attention to her mother. She only started to grow a relationship with her mother after her father's passing.

Anna went through a strange phase where she longed for someone to love her as her father once had. This led to her going through many boyfriends giving them a two week trial period and if not pleased she would leave them and find someone else. She grew out of this phase after one long, hard year. Her best guy friend Kale is the only person to have stuck by her throughout everything. Kale's family could never understand his and Anna's relationship. They always wished that the two would settle down for each other, but the two had different ideas if a soul mate.

"Yes Mommy," she sighed. Anna got up and walked to the kitchen. They are still living in the same two bedroom apartment since the start of high school. Anna and her mother had been chased out of their three bedroom house by Anna's father's mentally ill sister and mother.

The case is still ongoing, but Anna knows that it will end by January next year. Anna believes God had purposefully separated her from all negative influences' in her life.

Now that she is leaving, he will do her and her mother justice. Anna made herself a cup of coffee, her only addiction. "You are going to get a heart attack from all that coffee one day," her mother's boyfriend walked in. "Morning to you too," Anna rolled her eyes and continued, "the day I get a heart attack you will be the first to know." Anna's mother met her boyfriend just before they were chased out. He has a son, but they have a weak relationship due to his son's mother who wants nothing other than money from him.
