Friends To Lovers

When I was 7, life was normal and yea it was a bit complicated but it felt like I didn't have any responsiblities, I could do whatever I want and not worry about a thing. Today was the first day of Second Grade, but i'm not that excitied because I have to go to a new school and leave all my friends behind. I didn't think I would make any friends, I thought everything was going to be bad and that things wouldn't go well at my new school. I'm not good with change at all, I hate change. I hate going to new places and having to be the new girl all the time. This has been my 3rd time moving since my dad decided to keep moving from job to job, and I really miss my old friends.

My alarm clock continues to go off while I still snuggle in the covers, not wanting to get out of bed and just miss every day of school. I always asked my mom if I could be homeschooled but she always says she never has time and neither does my father, that it would be best if I go to school, be around other people and make new friends. I didn't like to be around a lot of new people, they terrify me and I didn't want new friends because they could never replace my friends back in my hometown. I didn't have much friends back where I was born and somewhat raised, but I did have Reyna and Alex, my two best friends in the whole entire world. I met them the first day at pre-k, we didn't talk much but we played a lot and once Kindergarten and first grade came, we became inseparable. I was so sad when I had to leave my school in the middle of 1st grade, and I missed my best friends so much and never tried to make any new friends, especially when there's a high chance I wouldn't be around for more than a year, at that.

"Charlotte Abigal Evans, I know you don't want to go to school but you have to. If I had the time, I really wouldn't make you have to keep going to new schoools, but I don't and neither does your father. I'm really sorry honey but you have to wake up" My mom says just as I hide back underneath the covers for the 5th time since my mom tried to wake me up an hour and a half ago.

"I don't want to, so I'm not going" I say annoyed that my mother won't let me stay home and sleep the day away.

"You have to Chara, I know you don't want to but you don't have a choice here, you are going to school and that's final, no excuses or talking back about it!"

Just as i'm about to tell my mom to go away, my little sister Annabella runs into my room and starts jumping on my bed. Bella is 2 years younger than me, she is starting Kindergarten today, and for some reason she doesn't seem mad or even a bit sad about it.

"Bella go away, i'm not in the mood today, both of you get out and leave me alone!" I practically scream at my little sister and my mom.

Bella starts crying and my mom gives me a warning glare, I found out that when she does it, she is starting to get very upset. I continue to look at them both with angry faces, my little sister is giving me a headache with her loud crying and my mom is annoying me. What did I do to deserve any of this. I should be able to do things peacefully without my family always bothering me.

I'm thinking of just ignoring everyone and falling back asleep, but my moms glares are finally starting to terrify me, which makes me get up and literally scream. My mom thanks me for getting up and assuring me I would be fine, but I just roll my eyes and tell her that she is just trying to make me feel better, it never works though.

My father went to work an hour before my mom woke me up so he left a breakfast bar on the table for me and my sister, our favorite one that contains choclate, with a sticky note telling us to have a great day at school and he loves us. After we drop Bella off at her school, I finally realize in the next 15 minutes or less, I will be stuck at a new school with new people. I start to get very anxious and terrified. My mom looks at me and tells me to calm down, that i'm making a big deal out of nothing. I'm not though, I have every right to be like this, she just doesn't understand.

As we pull up to my new school, I see there are a lot of people already here. I attend an Elementary school that goes from grade 1 to grade 5. I see a few kids around my age playing, and a few others talking. Me and my mom walk inside my school before going meet my principle and teachers.

"Its okay Chara, I can see you are very nervous but everything's going to be fine. It will be very scary for the first time, or even a few days or weeks, but you'll see there is nothing to worry about. This is a great school, the kids seem great here, go make some friends and try to have a good day today, everything will be fine Chara. I promise." My mom tells me, kissing my forehead and giving me a big hug before leaving.

Once I sit down in my seat, everyone seems fine actually and I think about how bad it would be if I just made a couple of friends. When we get on the playground, I don't play like the other kids. Instead I just stand there looking at everyone and how they are having so much fun playing with each other. As I begin to forget about making friends, a boy comes up to me. He has blonde hair and blue eyes and he is actually really cute, but i'm cuter. I have dark blonde hair and gray eyes and I think i'm more cute than he is. I never realized where I got my eyes from, my dad has somewhat green eyes and my mom has blue eyes, so I don't know how I ended up with grey ones. My dad has brown hair but my mom has blonde so I think I look more like my mom. The boy continues to stare at me, not saying a word which makes me very nervous for some reason.

"Hi" The boy says after a few more seconds of just looking at me.

"Hello" I say back nervously looking at him with a curious and worried face.

"My name is Jonathan but people just call me Johnny, whats yours?" He asks

"Charlotte but people just call me Chara and Chari for short" I say back

As I talk to the blonde haired boy named Jonathan, I don't feel as scared anymore. I am still tense and a bit nervous, but I am starting to realize that this is going very well, and its not as bad as I made it out to be. Maybe my mom was right about everything.

"Do you want to play?" The boy asks which makes me smile.

Out of all the things I thought happening today, this wasn't one of them. I thought I wouldn't make any friends, and I would be sitting alone while the other kids play, but instead I am being asked to play.

"Sure" I say back to Jonathan

As we go to the playground, the sun hits his face and I see his eyes are a little bit brighter than what I thought. He is very nice and to say I didn't want any new friends at first, I don't mind being friends with him.

While me and Jonathan Play on the swing, we tell each other more about ourselves and even laugh. Reyna and Alex will always be my best friends, but as of now, Jonathan is already one of the most important people in the world to me. I don't even know how I got attatched so quick but I did and now he is the only person I care about aside from My family and my two bestfriends back in Ohio.

AS YEARS PASS, I am still in the same city, the same one I met Jonathan in, Atlanta georgia, his hometown and my third home. Me and Jonathan became best of best friends, inseparable and we also went to the same middle school, high school, and college! He became a businessman and was voted one of the hottest bachelor's in the whole entire USA! Wow! Not to forget he's a billionaire now. For me, I am just an actress but I enjoy what I do and I even get to work with Jonathan sometimes. Johnny moved to New York and I moved to Los Angeles, but we see each a few times each week. Like I said, we are pretty much stuck together like glue, and as time passed we were the magnet and the object that seems to attract towards the magnet, the magnetic object.
