Junior Year

In the end of tenth grade all my friends moved away and I was stuck in a new town with little to no connections. I spent the summers away working at a multi-million dollar summer camp with my old friend. It was amazing summer no phones, technology, just hanging with my bestfriend making memories. But all good things must come to an end we parted ways and I ended up back in my small town at the start of my junior year. I wanted to find fun and more adventure while I was still young. I became determined to find a girlfriend make friends and have a good high school experience.

Being semi new and charming with a little good looks I figured I can make something new of myself here. In finding a myself I started with going after the first thing on my list a girlfriend. I knew a few from last year so I went down the list her name was Naomi. I tried talking to her texting her calls before and after school. We became very close friends talking everyday and night but she wasn't what I was looking for. We stayed close friends and nothing more became of us but I still looked for a girl I could be more with.

School was going by and I was still on my little search one day I remembered a girl I got introduced to in tenth grade by my bestfriend. Her name was Heather she was a cute little quirky girl her and her bestfriend. I realized we used to be really good friend at a point so I figured why not try and see about her. I looked her up and saw my chance and took it she was special and I felt it the moment I talked to her.

Recently her mother passed and she felt all alone in the world I felt truly sorry and knew there was nothing I could do but be there for her. She dumped her previous boyfriend because she knew the stress and pressure she'd put on him. Couldn't blame her I don't know what I'd do if anything even similar happened to me. I was there for her we talked I tried my best to numb her pain But she was strong and knew who she was. When school came around she was a senior and I a junior she had early release and early graduation.

At first I had a strict father in my life but was an only child at the time with a small little canine companion. My father allowed me to do as I please so long as I played my part as a son. Keep good grades, clean the house, Ect, which I did so I was allowed certain freedoms he was never the type to punish me or ground me. Strict may be the wrong word he was sensible a give and take and also the fact he installed security cameras around the house. I just moved in last year to finish high school so I was learning how things worked.

After about a few months he decided to become a trucker, good money, open road no objections from me. In fact him deciding this gave me a whole new world of opportunity just waiting to be discovered. He started by leaving for the weekdays coming home by the weekend that was the cycle. Being a junior in high school with that kind of freedom of course I abused it. He would leave the keys to his car not at first but after a while he did. Him not being home and Heather and I becoming closer caused a chain of events that defined my junior year.

Sometime in between my father getting his trucker job and school starting me and Heather talked. Nothing special more than jokes and plans to hang out every once and a while. With a father at home I couldn't dream of it so we just hung at school saw each other in the halls. I set my sights on her she was my goal I will win her heart I thought to myself. Everyday I'd wake up with the thought in my head how do I get her to like me back.

We started off casually then texts turned into talks and talking evolved into seeing her at lunch then leaving with her at lunch and so much more. She was nothing more than a trophy to be won at the time an upper classmen senior girl. The most beautiful girl I knew she liked the same things as me the same cartoons. We were the same yet so different and a simple quest to get a girlfriend turned into something no one saw coming. Unless you believe my friends who told me so but that didn't matter to me at the time.

When my father took the new job as a trucker and as I became more bold me and Heather started skipping. She had a car and early release and I was coming into my rebellious phase and wanted to impress her. One day at lunch she invited me to the mall and a movie, I happily accepted and tagged along. The consequences ran through my head at first but I didn't mind them because school wasn't important to me at the time. We arrived to the mall we walked around for a bit in my head all I could think was this is the start.

The movie we saw was some stupid comedy that was popular at the time I can't even remember a single scene. While the movie was playing she paid attention my thought ran wild but one thing was for sure I needed to touch her. I sweated with nerves and emotions pouring out every orifice I knew she had to notice by this point. When the movie ended we went to my house this is the first of many times but again all I could think was this is just the start.
