chapter 1

I got out of the car and slammed the door behind me. Tomorrow was August 27th, the first day of my 8th grade year at the new school i was going to.

"But mom, everyone else will have a phone and i will just be that new loser girl with no friends, no life, and no phone...AGAIN!"

"Calentine, how many times do i have to tell you this? You don't need a phone and you'll make plenty of friends at this new school."

The truth was, i really didn't need a phone. I wouldn't have anyone to call or even text for that matter. This was my fourth school in two years and i was tired of starting over. Tired of being that new girl that no one knew.

"And besides, you have other things to worry about...like those boxes in your room i have been begging you to unpack."

I sighed, "Fine. I'll set up my room." "Which I'll probably end up doing in another year or so," i muttered.

As i stalked away i thought i heard her say something like 'if only she knew' but i couldn't be sure, i was already thinking about the upcoming day.
