Questioning

Ever since crystal was young she always knew she was off.

Maybe it was the fact that her parents raised her up wearing overalls and daisy chains, listening to the famous music group Debarge, where she and her mum would dance around their brightly coloured house, as her dad would watch over recording on an old recorder.

" look at you go crys!" Her mum used to laugh, her long brown hair swishing in the movement. Crystal had a big smile on her face, feeling the movement and Rythem flow through her body. She loved how when she was younger they used to have fun, living out their free way of life, in there home town of Springfield Missouri.

When Crystal was 12 her dad found himself scoring a high paying job in Los Angeles, meaning that the family had to up and move from where they were known best.
This definitely was a big step for Crystal.  She was always such a quiet, anxious child with such a loving personality, but was never sure if throwing her into a school with more than 500 kids was a great idea.
It was also around this time that crystal found herself expanding her interests, she still have a love for daisy chains, and obnoxiously bright colours, but with crystals wacky interests case her passion for art, and designing things. In their new house her room was a lot bigger, so she had more space to set things up.

" what colour would you like to paint your room crystal?" Her mother asked as they looked at the wall of paints in front of them. Crystal was so exited that she was able to paint her room, and design it how she wants. She starts her new school in a few days and can't wait to impress all the girls she befriends with her newly painted bedroom.
" I think I want to go for a modern look, maybe have a feature wall? Ooo and definitely some pop of colour"
To be fair, crystal could see where she was coming from... but what you vision doesn't really play out how it will be.

Crystal first met her best friend Jackie when she was walking to school on her first day of high school. She had been living LA for a while now, and had really started to grow a reputation for herself. At school she was known as the "weird kid who gives off lesbian vibes but has never confirmed it". She spent most of her time annoying her favourite teacher, and forcing him to buy her hot chocolates. She also spent heaps of time in the art rooms, painting on canvases, and watering random plants.

When walking out of her house that morning, crystal noticed something was off. No it wasn't the fact that her mum forgot to make her usual breakfast, or that her dad wasn't trying to fix something in the house. It was more the fact that their was a weird aroma coming from outside, that actually smelt kinda good. She shrugged her shoulders and continued to walk out the from door, noting that the vacant house next to them was not so vacant anymore.
She spots her mum talking to a lady over the fence, and a girl her age standing with them "crystal! Come meet our new neighbours!" Her mother cheerfully said. Crystal walked over and looking the girl in the eyes giving her a sweet smile. " this is Jackie, crystal! She's going to be going to the same school as you so what better way then to make friends then by starting with your new neighbours!" Her mum cheerfully smiles. The two girls eventually left and started walking towards the bus stop.

" so where did you come from?" Crystal asked Jackie, pushing her coloured hair behind her ear. "Canada! Originally from Iran but yeah! What about yourself? You don't seem like one who was raised here" Jackie replied smiling at her new friend.
"Missouri originally. Dad got a new job so we all up and left, now I'm just trying to find ways to fit in at school"  crystal smiled.

It didn't take them long to become best friends, Crystal soon realising that the more time she spent with Jackie, the more that Jackie's outgoing personality would attract people. First it started off with Jan, the bubbly girl who could just make friends with anyone. Jan brought her girlfriend Roxanne, who goes by rock, Widow and Brita to the group, meaning that crystal was no longer a loner anymore.

Finally, with Crystal gaining friends, the Odd girl slowly started to fit in at her school. Still being known as the girl who had a weird sense of style and who was definitely obscure, she really started to get a sense of self... well that's until the chic new girl GiGi Goode came along.

Crystal started to find her self questioning
