Prologue
It's funny how the streetlamps mesh together with the headlights of a car. The streetlamps seem so orange to me. Plain. While the headlights look almost neon. I don't know why I care, I guess it's because it's so different here. Nothing like Florida. The same Florida where everyone wears the same color and dresses the same. With their high ponytails resting on the crown of their heads and their pink miniskirts tight against their body. However, it's not like California is any different. Everyone wants to kill you for that one pair of shoes at the mall. But for some odd reason, it was different here. Maybe it was because I was getting dirty looks for my oversized gray Hollister sweatshirt and my long black hair pulled up into a ponytail. I could see girls with their arms latched onto their boyfriends and swinging their purses in a malicious manor. A blonde shot me a look as we drove by. I turned away and peeked at my gym bag slouching on the back seat. My younger sister Genii was texting away on her phone. She was finally thirteen and lived her whole life in Florida. So had I. we all had. Genii was probably the most broken up about the move. Mom finally allowed her to get a boyfriend and she got the best one yet. John Bessen. He was handsome, respectful, and nice. John was my age, and in fact, he used to be my best friend. But it was the typical story. We grow up together. Living next to each other until his parents get divorced. And then his older sister moves away to college and he comes over even more often. We would sit on the ledge of our windows and listen to music, so close that when we kicked our legs back and forth we would tap each other's shins. It was weird how our houses were like connected.
I remembered one night when he came to my house and me climbed up to the roof and lied out on the flattest part we could find. We took my comforter and spread it across us. And we lied up there for hours pointing out the constellations and laughing when I was too dumb to pronounce them. And we lay out there until he was too tired to talk anymore and he fell asleep. Then I would lay there and wait until the sun began to rise so we could go back to our rooms. But one night, as we lay up on the roof, he didn't fall asleep. If fact, we lay there just starring at each other. I hadn't realized how flawless he was. He had this perfectly shaped face and hair that fell over his piercing blue eyes. That was probably the thing I liked the most about him. His eyes were like the ocean. Each crevice was filled with white and gold. Then he took my hand and pressed it against his heart. 'You know that my heart beats faster every time you touch me?' he had whispered to me. Then he pulled me just a little closer to him and rested his forehead against mine. I wasn't sure what came over me, but I leaned in and kissed him. We lay like that for a few minutes. Just intertwined, me kissing him, him kissing me. And then the sun rose and we both got up and went back to our rooms.
But the next day, he didn't come to the window to talk. And he didn't sneak over to look up at the stars. And he didn't text me or waits for me at the bus stop like he usually does. Something was wrong, I knew it. But I wasn't sure why. He didn't push me away when I kissed him. He didn't act uncomfortable when I stuck my head out the window and said 'Sweet dreams," like I usually do. And then I found out why. The next week after we kissed, I walked outside to catch the bus when I saw Genii's arms wrapped around John's torso kissing him. I felt everything fall apart. And then when I made a sound John turned to look at me with a pained expression. Genii rolled her eyes and picked up her backpack off the ground. 'You know I don't like you like that, right?' he had said. I guess I should have known. And since then, he stopped talking to me. Whenever he came over it was for Genii, not for me. And I slowly started losing my best friend.
And that is what brings me to California. My mom says that I have become too depressed back home. So change is good thing apparently.
