WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE YOU!
~*~INTRODUCTION~*~*~EARLY MEMORY~*~
walked hand in hand with her mum as they approached the gates to the primary school was about to start she was four years old and this was her first day of school nervously she let go of her mothers hand as they entered the class room she sat down in a quiet corner only
one other child was in the room as it was quite early he walked over to her
~*~Few Years On~*~
and over the years had became inseparable always getting into trouble with either the teachers or their own parents for making a mess or just being plain cheeky but something changed dramatically the pair were only 7 years old when unfortunately 's dad got a new job
meaning had to leave and move away from the neighbourhood where they both lived the day before was due to leave and ran away to a special place they had that nobody knew about they cried as they hugged each other
~*~The Day Of Goodbye~*~
woke up extra early looked around his room one last time it looked bold and empty when he spoke it echoed around the room and back to him he got up and opened the cupboard on his bedside table it was empty except for a special necklace his mothered had got specially made for him to give to as a goodbye present.
woke up not really wanting to as she never wanted this day to come she had to say goodbye to her best-est friend in the whole world the only one who understood her properly now he was going to be gone forever she would never see him again but she also would never forget him. She pulled back her bed covers and stood on her pale blue carpet she shuffled along the floor to her chester draws and pulled out some clothes for her to wear that day she opened the top drawer that contained photo's upon photo's of herself as a baby her father before he died a year ago was a famous photographer and loved nothing more then to take pictures of his beloved daughter she remembered how had helped her get through that tragic time as she lifted out a handful of photo's and placed them on the bed she looked through them then came to a special one her dad had done about a few months before he died in a car crash it was a picture of herself and on the lawn in the summer her dad had made it special by putting around the edge's in bold gold writing
Friends Forever she placed it separately on the bed and put the rest of the photo's back in the drawer she changed her clothes then went into her dads old room where he kept all his equipment she searched for the perfect sized picture frame finally she found one she took it out of the
room and went back into hers she slid the picture of her and in the gold plated photo frame she was going to give it to before he went away a few hours had past when there was a knock on the front door she opened it and saw stood there in-front of her
~*~6 Years Later~*~
~*~ ~*~
"Mum do we have to?" i complained after my mum had told me the news that we were going to move from Florida to London because my mum had, had a promotion at work but she had to work in London for it
~*~Three Weeks Later~*~
I had been living in London for two weeks now it was Sunday and tomorrow morning i would be starting at a new school i was a little scared I'd have to make new friends speak to new teachers but worst of all find out where everything was I'd visited the school last Tuesday and i had quite liked the look of it, it was just like an ordinary secondary school i don't know why I'd imagined it as a prison or something along those lines i turned off the light and fell asleep all sorts of thoughts went through my mind as i drifted off then it happened i had the dream again
about just like the one i had a a few days before moving over here it seemed so real yet so strange at the same time.

Break Time

To be continued...
"hello" he said nervously
"hi" squeaked out of her
"I'm " he said gaining more confidence
"I'm " the girl replied as she placed a few strands of long hair behind her ear smiled at her as he had made a new friend well so he hoped the rest of the children that would be in 's class came in and registration was taken...
"i don't know what I'm going to do without you in the new place where I'm going to live i don't know where it is but its far away from here and worst off all its far away from you i think we have to get on a plane to get there" sobbed making cry a bit more
"I'm gonna miss you so much" she said through tears. The pair had been at the spot crying and talking about all the good memories they had shared and how much they would miss each other they walked home slowly
"where have you two been" their parents questioned as they walked through front door 's parents were round
"no where" they replied with a sigh their parents looked sadly at them it was killing them as much as it was and
"hi " she said smiling then remembered that would be the last time she said hi to she left the front door and went over to a small table just inside the hall
"i want to give you this so where ever you are you'll never forget me" she said handing the picture frame he took it looked at it and smiled as a tear from his eye and landed on the picture
"thank you" said he dug into his pocket and pulled out a gold chain on the end of the chain was a heart he handed it to she took it and looked at it, it was engraved
~*~To we'll always be friends forever love ~*~
"thank you I'll never forget you" she said
"I'll never forget you" said as the two hugged for the last time they broke apart when they heard the horn of a car beep looked round as looked up it was 's parent coming to take him away walked with to the gate hugged him one last time and kissed him on
the cheek
"bye " she said
"bye " he replied and climbed into the car it pulled away as fell to her knees and cried into her hands. In the car was crying to he couldn't believe a day like this had
come he thought they'd always be together through thick and thin as did he watched her from the window till the car turned a corner and she was out of sight out of his life forever...
"yes we do" my mum replied with a smile
"but i don't want to the idea of moving brings back painful memories" i said as i took hold of the golden heart necklace i wore around my neck since i was 7 and my best friend had moved away i wish i knew where he moved to but he didn't know i miss him badly sure it had been 6 years since we last spoke to each other but he has a special place in my heart that nobody else possible would be able to fill suddenly the idea of moving didn't seem to bad after all i wouldn't be leaving my best-est friend behind he left years ago but it still brought back the memories we shared together and the day we had to say our goodbyes
"i know hunnie" my mum said hugging me i cried abit on her shoulder
"you know if i could re-write the past you and would still be neighbours and the best of friends but i can't unfortunately its pained me everyday for the past six years when he left till the age of ten you sat at you bedroom window just wishing and hoping he would return" my mum said
"i know i still hope for that" i said breaking away from the hug
"when do we leave" i added
"in a few days so you better go pack" my mum said i left the kitchen and went to my room i should of guessed this was going to happen as loads of empty boxes had accumulated over the past few days i picked up two boxes and went into my room i packed my books in one box along with some
stuffed animals my clock and the stuff i had on my bedside table i closed the box and lifted it off of the bed it was top heavy and a struggle to carry across to an empty space in my room i opened the other box and filled it with clothes leaving some out for the next few days i went
out of the room to get a few more boxes to put the rest of my clothes in which took up 6 boxes shifting them after they had gotten full to the space in my room. Nightfall had come i changed into my PJ's and went to sleep after spending the whole day packing i began to dream as i slept of the first thing i saw of him was his cheeky grin that landed us in trouble most of the time...
"Good Morning" my mum said as she opened the curtains letting in the sunlight i moaned the bright light hurt my eyes
"ready to start at your new school?" mum asked
"like i have a choice" i said but then smiled "yes i am" i added and pulled back the covers i went into my on-suite bathroom and took a quick shower i wrapped a towel around me and went back into my room to get changed i picked up my hair dryer and dried my hair i then styled it up into a high pony tail leaving two bits of hair down either side of my face i picked up my roundhair brush and curled them slightly i opened my little side drawer and pulled out some eye shadow,mascara and lip gloss i applied it then went down stairs to have a cup of tea and bite to eat before i left for school
"have a nice day" mum said as she dropped me off outside the school gates
"you two bye" i said and shut the car door i went up to the reception office I'd remembered where it was
"hello how may i help" the school receptionist said
"I'm ) the new student" i replied
"oh yes here" she said handing me a piece of paper "we are on this week" she said pointing to week one i had English first lesson
"where would i find this room?" i asked politely the kind lady gave me directions i thanked her and left following the directions she had given me i knocked upon the door
"come in" was what i heard i turned the handle and entered the room not looking at a single student i walked up to the teacher
"hi I'm the new girl" i said to the teacher
"Class we have a new student today could you tell us abit about yourself"
"hello my name i moved here from Florida so yeah I'm American though my mother and father were both born in England but unfortunately my father died when i was 6 so i live with my mum and i have no brothers or sisters" i said with a small smile i looked around the room
and my heart stopped when i thought i recognised somebody
" could please go and sit down in that empty seat next to " the teacher said i slowly walked up to the table getting more nervous with each step i took i swear I'd seen him somewhere before but where? and how?
"Hiya my names , )" he said his full name and i became scared yet excited it could be or it could not be him my best friend from 6 years ago
"hi pleased to meet you" i said as i sat down
"do i know you from somewhere?" asked
"i don't think so" i replied
"now you two have got to know each other could you please be quiet so i can carry on with today's lesson" the teacher said/asked
"sorry sir" and i said at the same time was it really THE i knew as my best friend in Florida 6 years ago? or was it just someone under the same name?
Somebody had knocked on the door of my English class the teacher Mr.Thomas called out come in, the door handle turned and in walked the most beautiful girl i had seen in my whole life she walked without looking at a single student up to the teacher and started speaking.
"Class we have a new student today could you tell us abit about yourself"
"hello my names i moved here from Florida so yeah I'm American though my mother and father were both born in England but unfortunately my father died when i was 6 so i live with my mum and i have no brothers or sisters" she said with a small smile she looked around the room and when she looked at me, my heart stopped when i thought i recognised her and what she had said about herself sounded like somebody i knew when i lived in Florida it couldn't be her though could it?
" could please go and sit down in that empty seat next to " Mr. Thomas said she slowly walked up to my table she looked like she was getting more nervous with each step she took i swear I'd seen her somewhere before!
"Hiya my names , " i said my full name i became scared yet excited it could be or it could not be her my best friend from 6 years ago
"hi pleased to meet you" she said as she sat down
"do i know you from somewhere?" i asked hoping she'd say i think so or something like that
"i don't think so" she replied to my disappointment
"now you two have got to know each other could you please be quiet so i can carry on with today's lesson" the teacher said/asked
"sorry sir" and i said at the same time was it really THE i knew as my best friend in Florida 6 years ago? or was it just someone under the same name? She placed her elbow on the table and rested her chin on the palm of her hand it looked like she was bored well it was English it must be her i remember her doing that when we had English when i lived in Florida but why did she deny it? Maybe she had changed, Maybe she had moved on and disliked me now after all who still likes their best friend after 6 years separation? But i knew i still liked the girl i left behind all those years ago she was sort of like my rock i sighed turned her head and looked at me
"why the sigh don't you find English interesting either" she asked kindly
"not really" i replied she smiled and turned her head back to the front of the class. The bell rung for next lesson which was Maths which i hated even more then English
"so what lesson do you have next?" i asked as i packed up my stuff passed me her time table i scanned through it unfortunately she wasn't in my Maths lesson but she was in my best friend 's i wonder what he'll say about her when we meet up for break if he says anything at all that is!?
"well I'll see you in P.E third lesson2 i said passing her time table back she smiled and left the room...
"Alright mate?" i asked as he came walking over to me
"yeah have you seen that new girl i think her name was she's hot" said quickly
"yeah she came in, in my English class can i show you something" i said and asked
"course mate what?" he asked
"well we have to go to my locker first" i said and walked off following behind we reached my locker i opened it lifted up a few books until i found it a gold plated photo frame i handed it to
"what about it, its just you and some girl when you were young?" asked not getting my point
"no look closer at her thats when i used to live in Florida until i was 7 and moved over here and she was my best-est mate now I've got a suspicion that the new girl is her" i replied
"well was your best-est friends name ?" questioned looking at me
"yes" i answered
"i have to say it does look like her" said tapping the glass
"i know but when i asked if i knew her from somewhere she denied it why?" i said
"well maybe she doesn't remember you or just wants to forget her past" replied "is there any way you could find out if its actually her?" he added
"a necklace i gave her the day i left but getting it is the problem" i replied
"its worth a try you'll never know other wise will you" said and walked off leaving me pondering whether if i should, should i find out if she was my best friend all those years ago or just leave it?
I'm sure its him why did i deny it when he asked if he knew me from somewhere Had i suddenly turned shy on my best-est friend from 6 years ago?
"hi your that new girl aren't you?" a girl asked sitting down next to me
"i am yes and you are?" i asked
"I'm pleased to meet you " she replied
"you two"i said
"what lesson do you have next?" she asked
"P.E great" i said rolling my eyes
"i take it your not a fan of P.E either" said
"you could say that" i replied and we both laughed
"well we have P.E with and my best mates" said
"oh I've met them I'm in 's English class and 's Math class" i replied
"Great so you already know them" she said i nodded slightly as the bell for next lesson rang out and we made our way to the sports hall
"Hiya " and said walking over
"oh hi " they said when they saw me
"hiya" i replied with a smile
" can i talk to you for a minute" said pulling her to one side.
"sure " i said as we walked away from and
"you know that new girl" asked
"you mean she has a name ya know" i said i hate it when people refer to new people as the new girl/boy
"yeah her well you know i used to live in Florida up until i was six?" asked
"yeah i do whats that got to do with apart from she came from Florida" i replied not seeing 's point
"well i recognise her so well as my best-est friend from all those years ago but when i asked her she denied it I'm afraid she dislikes me now" said and hung his head low
"awww don't feel like that do you want me to ask her?" i suggested
"no no but could you some how get to go to her house and see if you can find any evidence like pictures but most importantly a gold heart shaped necklace that should be engraved with something like To from or something like that OK can you do that please for me" asked looking desperate i found it quite sweet
"yes i will now we better go get changed for P.E otherwise we'll be in detention" i said and walked away from into the girls changing rooms
I so glad that I've mad some great mates , and . and i got on like a house on fire she was coming over my house today after school for tea hope she doesn't freak out when she finds out I'm quite wealthy I've known some people who black-mailed me so I'd get them things cos i could afford it.
"hey" said as i was waiting for her by our lockers
"alright Hun" i said hugging her
"yeah shall we leave then can't bare to be in school a minute later" replied i laughed
"nor me" i said as we walked out of the school gates
"so where did you say your house was again?" asked
"Queens Road" i replied
"thats where all the wealthy people live isn't it?"
"yeah" i said with hesitation
"cool" said with a smile we soon made it to my house my mum wasn't home yet she had to work until five thirty
"wow nice house" exclaimed as we entered the hall
"thanks do you want a drink" i asked her
"yeah you got coke?" asked
"sure" i said wondering into the kitchen opening the fridge and getting two cans of coke out
"follow me" i said as i handed her the can i walked up the stairs to my room
" can i tell you something?" i asked
"yeah sure" she replied i went over to my drawer and picked out some photo's i walked back over to the sofa in my room and sat down i handed her the photo
"these are photo's of you and a boy" said looking at me curiously
"doesn't he look familiar to you?" i asked
"he does look alot like "
"yeah thats cos it is him when he lived in Florida i was his next door neighbour and we were the best-est of friends then his dad got a new job so they had to move over here but before he went he gave me this necklace" i said pulling it out of my shirt and showing it to
"to we'll always be friends forever love " she read out and smiled
"so do you still like as much?" asked
"to be honest..." i paused and let out a sigh
"i think i love him" i replied gasped
"really" she asked i nodded
"awww thats such a sweet story you know what i think you two are meant to be i mean its not everyday you find your best-est mate again is it?"
"i guess not" i replied and drank some of my coke.
I couldn't believe this it was her the girl never shut up about when he first came over to England and now she was back in his view i spoke recently with about her and now I've spoken with it confirmed my thought of them meant for each other had said the other day
that he loved her and now she's just said the same I've gotta do something about this maybe get her to tell him or him to tell her i got my mobile out of my pocket and texted
