Chapter 2- New Birth

A Chapter by Bree

Me:”Christmas break is OVER!!!” I exclaimed sadly to my friends.

Kat:”YEAAA I KNOW RIGHT!!!”

Ashley:”I wanna go back HOME!!"

Me:”I'm glad to be back with yall though.”

Kat & Ashley in union:”AGREED!”

We go around asking each other what they got for Christmas. I say how I got a new drone, Kat says how she got new clothes, and Ashley talks about her new makeup and skincare. Now my parents have never let me wear actual big kid makeup and I've never really even known what skincare was. Everyone would say I lived under a rock because my parents were really strict and wouldn't let me do anything that other kids were allowed to do, so in result I was really innocent and didn't know too much (This is going to soon crazily change). So it is a week into school and randomly out of the corner of my eyes I see this guy. He had long brown hair that seemed to be in a wolf type cut, was maybe like an inch taller than me and was really skinny. But I don't know what it was but something just attracted me to him but I just brushed it off. I still had a crush on that James guy as well. Now I was a short cubby girl who wore bright blue nerdy glasses and I probably did classify as a nerd. But I was crazy confident and thought I was much prettier than what I actually was.

So during my lunch period, Kat, Ashley Me, and a few other friends would hang out. Once they saw that I was still more innocent than a 10 year old (Which nowadays the 10 year olds are still less innocent then I am now). When they realized that, they slowly each day would teach me about stuff and would corrupt my innocent mind. Half the week went by and I saw that guy again. I also noticed that we rode the same bus but I still couldn't tell why he stood out so much to me.

(Did I have a crush on him? No, I can't, I don't even know the guy, I have not even talked to him. I DONT EVEN KNOW HIS NAME! Oh well….)

January is over and February is starting and during February it is valentines and the school hosts a valentines dance for the middle school. Me being the fake confident girl I was I asked out Josh to the dance with a note saying:

(Hey, would you like to go to the valentines dance with me….)

He replied with a “No sorry, I already have someone im going with”

Which hurt a little but mainly just embarrassed me cause like I said I wasn't exactly the pretty type, but it's fine I didn't really care too much. But the week went by fast and so did my innocents. My friends have told me so much and I remembered all of it and I officially gained a dirty mind and was no longer the innocent little girl I was. I still was pretty innocent but with what my friends have told me wanted me to know more so I did some research on my own. My family is really Christian, and I believe in God and would pray only when I wanted him to do something for me though. My sisters and I would go to our grandparents every weekend. We used to go on Fridays but we started going on Saturdays because my sister had football games on Fridays (She was in the band). Going on Saturdays meant being there Sunday morning (Or in other words going to church) so we started going to church again. And normally we sit on the bottom and I did go to kids church but I stopped going because I felt as though I was getting too old but this time we didn't sit on the bottom.

My grandma makes us late to church a lot cause she takes a long time to get ready but, we were really late this time and basically the whole bottom part of the church was full, so for the first time I sat on the balcony of the church (The top part). As my sister walked up the steps in front of me and got to the door to the balcony. I was excited and a little nervous because I've never been on the balcony before, and I had no clue who sat up here.

(It's probably just a bunch of old people who are always late) I thought to myself. but I was wrong.

I walked into the door and when I walked in I saw him straight ahead of me. That boy.

(He goes to my church? Is that how he stood out to me because I knew him? Or what could it be?)

As we sat down, I was kind of just in confusion but just brushed it off and did what I always did anytime we went to church, and I was with the older people. SLEEP! I always sleep during church.

I find it so boring and for some reason my older sister was just so comfy to lay down on. By the time I wake up we have about maybe 10 to 15 minutes left in the service and the pastor does a quick prayer then an altar call and during the altar call that boy and his family left. After church we would normally go back to my grandparents house and have some lunch then they would take us home. The new week of school has started, and new week means new crush so I had a crush on this guy named addam and I was thinking all week if i should ask him to the valentine's dance that was Friday. During lunch I was now able to follow in with their dirty minded conversations and understand most of it. I ended up choosing to ask addam to the dance but later at the dance when he wanted to dance with me, I rejected him and “” Broke up with him.””
