The Only One

Summer

It was the middle of summer and I was on a road trip with my 2 best friends, really my only friends, kelsy and Jill. They were both going to continue going to public school and they thought I was to, but they didn't know. I had told my self that I had to tell them over this weekend. I kept pushing it off and then I thought that if I tell them as were going home it won't be as bad. The weekend went great. Jill's parents drove me kelsy and Jill up to New Hampshire to their cottage for the weekend. We had so much fun swimming, playing and just being crazy with eachother. The last night we were all on vine showing eachother goofy vines that made us laugh until we peed, literly. Then kelsy got a twiter notification that the most popular girl in the grade, Julia had tweeted about her. She said that "3 musketeers" (ya that's what we called ourselves, losers we know) more like the 3 muskeQUEERS with the laughing emoji. She tagged us all in it and it got 11 retweets and 20 favorites. We just ignored it cause we were having fun unlike them just trying to bring us down. We then all fell asleep around 2am. It was such a fun weekend I wish I could relive it. We woke up Monday morning and had to pack up and leave. Now was the time that I had to tell them. We were driving home and Jill's dad had asked me what sports I was going to do in high school. It was the perfect time. I said "well I was thinking soccer hockey and lacrose...but for melkon" it's almost as if I felt the car jerk back. They all turned and looked at me like I had 9 heads. Jill and kelsy looked so confused. I got really nervous and said "don't be mad at me please" hoping for the best. Everyone in the car was so sad. Kelsy and Jill were crying that we wouldn't be in the same school anymore and her parents were also sad because they are like my 2nd family. They all tried to brighten the mood on how i will do so good but I could still feel the sadness. The rest of the car ride was awkwardly quiet. They droped me off at home and I walked inside. My mom just knew from the look in my face that I had told them. She came over and hugged me and said that we would all stay in touch and that I'll make so many friends at my new school. I thought differently. I always had trouble making friends, especially girls. I was a tomboy growing up and still kinda am now. I had met kelsy and Jill through soccer and then we went to school together. We've been friends since 1st grade and we were always a little different from them. Instead of playing dolls with the girls we would play kickball with the boys. And you could kinda say it stayed like that. We were close with most of the boys in our class and I guess the girls were jealous and mad that we were close with the boys they liked. Whoops. They always wouldn't include us but hey, girls will be girls. I was just so afraid that at my new school I wouldn't make the same connections as I did already.
