~Alexa's POV~
I look up from my computer for a moment to write down the information I just found. I'm doing research on the Lynx. I know... That sounds kind of strange. I've always loved animals. In fact, I just moved from Los Angeles, California to Denver, Colorado just to research them. Actually, animals aren't the only reason for me moving.
Ethan was, I thought, the love of my life. He respected me, he was loving, smart, funny, caring, cute, anything a girl could ever ask for. We were perfect for each other, or so I thought. It turns out, after being together for nearly 3 years, I wasn't good enough for him. I didn't satisfy him. He cheated on me with one of the most popular girls in school. She was a blonde cheerleader by the name of Chelsea. She also.. Well.. I'm just going to say she's no longer innocent, and she likes to "have fun" very often. As soon as I found out, I spent a week pinned up in my room. Netflix, ice cream, and tissues were my best friend. Oh, and my actual best friend, Jenny. Jenny is moving to Colorado soon as well. We have basically the same interests. She's been my best friend since pre school. It all started when I shoved a crayon up my nose.. We hit it off from there.
My family is worried about me. We wanted to move to Colorado anyways, but my eagerness to leave wasn't usual. My 19 year old brother, Colby, was teasing me for being so sad about the break up, my mom was trying to coax me out of my room, and my dad would come into my room every morning with a pep talk before he left for work.
My first week in Colorado has been pretty boring. I start school in a few days, and to say I'm nervous would be an understatement. I'm just so different..
