Krissa

Krissa was the girl I met in second grade, she was a long-time member of Orchid Gate Elementary School. I was new, I had just moved from Texas to Utah. I was very nervous, but I had hope. Krissa was my buddy who was assigned to take care of me for the week. Krissa was very nice to me and we became best friends instantly. I felt a lot more comfortable with Krissa around, she was more than just my best friend, she was like the sister I never had. The move from Texas to Utah was actually very easy, I had moved so many times with my family, from Texas to wherever. This time I was moving with my mom to Utah, permantly. My Mom and dad split up a couple of months ago, and my parents had to still live in the same house for a couple week, believe me it was very weird and uncomfortable. My mom just found this new home in Utah which wasn’t rented, this house was ours. I moved to this house with my mom and my mom only, I had to leave everything behind, including my friends, dad, and twin brother Lucas. Krissa helped me forget all that and I was happy.

There was this boy in my class named Ryan, and I had a huge crush on him, like mega gigantic, but so did Krissa. I walked into school one day and saw them sitting together and cracking each other up; they hugged several times as they knew I was watching, I couldn't believe Krissa. I completely lashed out at her and we got into a fight. After that, Krissa left the school, and we never spoke since. Krissa was my best friend, in fact she was my only friend; to lose her was very painful. Krissa was long gone and I had no clue where to find her. As much as I knew I couldn't forgive her, I was able to admit I still loved her. I was a little kid then, meaning I had stupid thoughts. I would always think crazy things like: Krissa got abducted by aliens, or, she was asked to go and fight in the war. Ever since Krissa left, things had always been weird, I had none there by my side. The only bright side to this was that Krissa wasn't there to steal Ryan, but that was selfish. Throughout my day of childhood, I had never seen Krissa and honestly, I forgot about her. My chances with Ryan weren't looking bright, he still had something for Krissa and wasn't ready to move on so unlucky for me. Things were very different without Krissa, but at the same time very simple.

I knew I had to let Krissa go and completely forget about her and move on. So, that is exactly what I did. I became friends with these two girls named Morgan and Brooklyn, they were very lovely and nice to me. We remained friends throughout our day as kids and promised to keep in touch. And we keept that promise.

The new start?

It was now a couple of years away from second grade and I was now going into high school, the start of 7th grade. I was so excited. Things were getting better for me and I was a lot happier. Just before I got told which high school I was attending, my parents told me that they were getting back together, and we were all staying in Utah. Me and Lucaus (my twin brother) were over the moon. It wasn't just me and Lucaus anymore, we had two new additions to our family. My mom had a baby girl called Kyra and my dad bought us a family dog called Luna. Luna was a French bulldog, I got to name her, so I chose Luna. Her full name is Luna-lovegood, can you gessue where I got that from? I was going to be attending Romans Royal High, it was one of the best schools in the country and only the best of students could get into that school and I was a lucky one. And as if things couldn't get any better, Ryan (my long-time crush) was attending too. Lucaus was also coming. This was a new start of happiness, and nothing could get in my way. After dinner I brought out my school uniform and set it out on our ironing board ready for dad to iron. 'DING DONG' It was very weird for the bell to be currently ringing. Dad went over to answer it, once dad answered the door that was when everything changed. "Yea, how can I help you?" asked dad.

"I'm looking for my girlfriend Rosset" said the man at the door. Now if you don't know, Rosset is the name of my mother, now things were getting very tensed and you could just feel the heat and the anger. "MOM!" I screamed in anger.

"I'm coming love, there is no reason to shout" responded mom. I and Lucaus stared at each other is frustration, there was totally a reason to be shouting. Mom had no idea what was coming her way, it was now about to hit her. The man at the door had no idea why we were all angry, he just assumed dad was our brother; to be fair dad dose look quite young for his age, so I didn't blame him. Mom walked down the stairs still being very clueless until she saw her 'boyfriend'. "Liam?" she screamed in shock. Her face went from this happy one to a long face, her mouth dropped wide open. "So, you do know this dude, how could you mom" said Lucaus.

"Of course, I know him.... he is my .... boyfriend" hesitated mom. "Liam, why are you even here?" Liam got down on one knee and brought out a red box. It was so obvious what he was going to do, and neither one of us wanted to watch, but we had to coz mom begged us to. "Rosset, we have been together for 6 years now, will you marry me?" asked Liam so romantically. 6 YEARS!!!  What the flip, this was way to shocking. Mom nodded and hugged Liam right in front of Dad. That was probably the worst thing that could happen. Liam still didn't know what happened, then mom explained. So long story short. Even before my parents’ divorce, mom had a boyfriend and never told dad, how cold. I honestly felt for dad, but Liam was happy he won mom. Just when I thought things were coming together, they slowly fell apart. And just as if things couldn't get worse I got a text from Morgan and Brooklyn on Instagram.

UH OH...

Today was Monday morning and it being my first day at Romans Royal, and I wasn't going to be with my besties:( I had to deal with that, but it wasn't going to be easy. After last night, I knew I couldn't forgive mom, I mean how could she. I, Lucaus and dad just had to cope with mom for now. We’re moving out this Sunday to a flat in Utah. As much as we wanted to go back to Texas, we couldn't because. Liam was going to introduce us to his kids after school, he had two girls. Lucky for them I wouldn't be visiting often. I just wanted to rush out of the house to avoid mom. We weren't on smooth terms now. I shot out of my bed, my room was a mess since we were moving, but half my stuff would stay coz I will still be visiting. I took out my messy bun and did a fishtail. When i finished getting ready I went downstairs to eat breakfast. Everyone was gone so that left me and mom in the house, ALONE, AWKWARD!

"Taylor love, I'm very sorry, you know I'm sorry" cried mom. I held mom's hand and whispered, "Mom, you know I'll get over this Sonner or later, but it was very shocking. You will always be my mom and I'll always forgive you no matter how many stupid things you do"

"So, can I have a date or just and estimate when?" she asked

"Mom! don't worry, I love you and I always will I'm just a little cross at the moment" I replied. She smiled at me and I gave her a huge hug. I finished off my breakfast then and mom dropped me off at school. I was very sad not to be going with Morgan or Brooklyn, but I had to find a way to enjoy myself.

I walked through the Romans Royal doors, somehow feeling powerful. The school was humungous, and I didn't know how I wouldn't get lost. I wasn't ready, I wasn't prepared, I'm literally freaking out, I don't know what to do but I got to pull myself together. I walked into the building super confident, I felt unstoppable, unbeatable; until....

I saw a tall skinny figure walking down the hallway, at first, I didn’t recognise the person until she got closer. She had silky blond hair in tight bouncy curls. There was only one person this could be.... UH OH. Are you thinking of who I am? Yes, it was Krissa, we didn't end on a very good terms, so things WERE NOT going to be 'chill' between us. I thought seeing Krissa was terrible until I saw Ryan running up to her. "Krissie bear" shouted Ryan. He ran right up to her lifted her swinging her round and gave her what looked like a very enjoyable hug. As from that moment I knew I and Ryan were never going to be. Growing up I watched lots of dramatic TV shows, such as mean girls. They never lived a fair life, I never use to believe that that could be true since it was a movie, but it was possible. Sometimes I think my life is just a never-ending nightmare. Krissa was going to make my life 'HELL' and I'm not ready for that, EVER!

After school, I'm meeting my new sort of step-sisters, I hope they are nice. Then I'm going over to Brooklyn's with Morgan, we all have a lot to talk about. So, basically, my first day wasn't a total nightmare; I made friends and my teachers love me, I didn't get lost, but Krissa is going to make my life hell. My life is so complicated, and I don't know if there is a solution to all this complication. I haven't spoken to Krissa at all today, and she hasn't started to make my life miserable yet. Oh well, it's not everything we wish for we get. :(
