It was mid July and the hot summer sun in Ontario was beating down on my head. It was just an average summer day, 40°C. It felt like as soon as you stepped outside all your breath was taken from your lungs. I was a little bummed out, the moving truck sat in front of my house and it would be leaving later that afternoon. I already said good bye to my friends, we were moving back to Nova Scotia. I lived there before I moved here, the life of a military family.... I didn't mind moving back that much but I just hated making new friends and always changing places. I always seemed to make friends but I just wanted to have a really good group of friends somewhere were I could stay.
Later that day I got in my moms car with my brother, mom, and dad and we started driving. Three days later we pulled up to our new house. It was a pretty nice house I guess, not as big as our old one but still a decent size. We brought some stuff in the house and then the moving truck showed up.
We were finally fully unpacked and settled in about a week later, I had a bedroom upstairs the one I wanted was still not finished. School started in a couple weeks, I was nervous but excited at the same time.
The first day of school went by fast. I was the kid who sat alone at lunch and had no friends. It was like that for a couple days. But then people started talking to me and I made some friends. I wasn't really popular but that didn't bother me. After a couple of weeks cadets was starting. I did it in Ontario so I decided to keep doing it here.
When I got to cadets the first night it was a little bit hectic. I didn't know where to go or anyone to talk to. We had the beginning ceremony and people were yelling commands but I was used to that stuff being in a military family and all. After it finished we went to the first class. I sat in the back. There was guy I saw that I recognized from school, he was a popular guy so I didn't really expect him to talk to me. A guy came and sat down next to me. His name was Luc he was a really funny guy and I was glad to of met him. The popular guy came and sat down next to us. His name was Jean-Luc and we all starts talking. They were both really great guys. I looked up from our conversation and noticed two girls sitting 2 rows ahead of us, a blonde and a brunette. I hoped I could get to know them. Luc noticed me looked and nudged me and said "I'm not sure you'll have a chance man." Then continued talking. I thought about what he said and thought he was probably right. They were both pretty and seemed nice. Maybe there was a chance.... I hoped so.
After that night school went by fast and I was always looking forward to cadets. Jl (Jean-Luc) was actually a really nice guy, we were close friends but we only talked at cadets. Luc dropped out of cadets, it was a little more boring after he left. One night Jl didn't come to cadets so I ended up sitting close to the girls. We talked and actually became friends pretty fast. We were really good friends yet but I hopped we would be soon. Months passed by and we all became closer, jl Bianca, Brooke and I. We never really hungout outside if cadets but that was okay. There was a trip during march break coming soon and we were all going. I hoped we would all become close then. I though the blonde, Brooke, was really pretty but Jl told me he liked her. I have standards, he knew her longer and liked her first so I backed off. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe it helped us.
In early march I went to the sobeys in Bedford and got on a tour bus. I sat next to Jl. We were going to leave for Washington DC in under an hour. The girls sat in front of us and it was a little bit dull for a while but then we all started talking and I think that was when we all became good friends. We stopped at the bored to get our bus checked and that took forever. When we finally got to the place we were stoping for the night I went to my room and got a shower and then we met up in jl's room with the girls. We played truth or dare and Brooke kissed me on the cheek as a dare and Bianca and I kissed for real. I never really thought about Bianca like that before but now that I knew I couldn't go for Brooke I started to hang around with Bianca more. The washington trip was going by super fast. Bianca found out I had a crush on her but she didn't have feelings like that for me. We all talked and became closer by the day. We stopped at so many places and saw so many things. I kissed Bianca a few more times before the trip was over but I knew it wasn't going to change anything. I think Brooke was starting to like Jl but it wasn't 100% sure.
