First Love

Today is New Years Eve. My parents' friends, mostly my dad's work friends, are coming over in about an hour. It is kinda sad that I am spending my New Year with them but it is an unspoken rule that we always have to spead it with our family even if that means entertaining the other children so the adults are worry free.That it why I am currently running around like a headless chicken completing all the tasks my mom it throwing my way.

I have an older  brother but I have always been the one that has to be responsible because honestly our family needs an anchor or this boat would have been lost at sea a long time ago. I have never complained about this though because I try to help where I can and loft some stress from everyone, sometimes I feel like they just break down from the smallest fraction of stress. Don't get me wrong it gets to me too but I try to burry it deep inside and not show a single crack. Yes I know that is probably not the healthiest but i have gotten really good at it, amazing if I may say so myself, and it kind of jist comes naturally now.

After changing the utensils, plates and table cloth for the tenth time my mom is finally pleased with how it looks together. I decide to take a bath because I was not going get another chance for the rest of the year. It is just me that while I lie in the bath I go over my life and think of better comebacks and just small things I would change?

I jump out of my reverie when my mom unlocks the door to show her friends around the house and the bathroom couldn't wait until I was done.

Mom:
This is the bathroom but only Amy uses this one.

GIGI:
I see that.
(Starts laughing)
What I cute round ass you have Amy.

Amy:
(Internally thanks God I was lying on my stomach)
Hi aunty Gigi,
thank you?
Mom I am sure there are most interesting things than me in the bath to show aunt Gigi.

Thankfully Gigi closed the door. There is no such thing as privacy in this house, especially with my mother! You see my mother was one of four daughters, there was no privacy and they still have no boundaries. Everything is okay and if you lose your temper or became sad you are spoiling the fun. Trust me I have had it my whole life, fat shaming, stealing your food, forcing you to do something with them, shoving things inside your mouth and even holding you down and making you smell shit.

By the time I go downstairs the two other girls I always hang out with during these things are already here. Deline is two years younger than me but she is spicy and brings out the fun in me because always being responsible is extremely tiring and I love having fun and getting into trouble once in a while. Daphne is three years younger but she is more the quite girl that loves having fun as long as we aren't doing something we shouldn't. I admire her but pity her knowing she carries the same responsibilities on her shoulders that I do. Me and Deline have teased her a lot about always being the goody two shoes but everytime that would end in tears and quite frankly I get it she tries so hard to keep everyone happy and out of trouble and then we treat her like a loser.

The only other person about my age is Anton who apparently has a huge crush on me but he is just too dirty minded for me to handle. Let me take you back to a few years ago.

A few years ago

We were at a birthday party for another one of my dad's colleagues and I was sitting on the trampoline looking after my small brother while and older brother and Anton are chasing each other and throwing each other with the plums that fell out of the tree in corner.

One second I am playing popcorn and the next I get struck in the eye by a peach thrown across the trampoline.
It hurt like bitch and I tried to bite back the tears and act unbothered.
My eyes betrayed me and started to leak! Anton ran to me and apologized, I hated being treated like I was a fragile doll that would break as soon as you let go.
His mother started shouting at him and even though he threw me with a peach I felt guilty for getting him in trouble because I knew how much I hated being scolded in front of other people.

Back then I was about ten or eleven. I always saw Anton as a relatively attractive guy but he is interested in everyone and he was never really secret about it.

Since by older brother wasn't here to keep him company I told him that he could come with us as we walked in the street at about nine pm. We walked and talked for more than an hour until we saw strangers that looked about our age walking in front of us, which was strange because we live in a estate where you didn't know everyone but you knew OF everyone. It was a group of three guys and one immediately stood out to me even though I couldn't really see his face due his back facing the streetlight. Anton decided to dump us for them, can't say I blamed him he was the only dude in our group.

Me, Deline and Daphne decided to head home for something to drink before we continued our walk. When we got home I saw the party was in full swing, I mean we could hear the music a mile away. Rachel was there waiting for us since she had just arrived a while ago. We decided to continue our walk before any of the parents harrassed us with chores.

I thought I was done with the guys for the night.

Boy was I wrong.
