We are moving to LA, so mom,dad and nanay are already taking care of everything since I am in a bad mood beacause of that stupid Caleb.  Flashback              I cannot stay in that place since that horrible incident took place, I requested mom and dad to move to a new place so that I can atleast divert from what happened instead of getting stuck at one place. So we moved to California to get started a new things in my life. I just registered as my name Astrid Adrian and my parents convinced principal to kept hidden my parents identity and he agreed. So in school I was just a normal student with no rich background, since I started wearing baggy and rugged clothes to avoid attention. Unfortunately, I cannot hide my face and eyes. So I got lot of attention from the students but I never paid attention to them. I didn't made any efforts to be friends with anyone as well. But one as I was sitting outside of the cafeteria and eatting lunch, one boy came and introduced himself. "Hey" I turned around. He is a good lucking guy but I am not interested. I made a small sound "Hi". He smiled and sit next to me as I trust no one. He made a small conversation and asked small questions such as "Where am I from? Why did I move in the middle of the school from another place?" which are kind of personal questions. But I politely answered with small sentences because I don't want to sound like b***h.               Later he never leave me alone. At starting, I was doubtful of his intentions but later I believed myself that he is good since he didn't harm anyone or me inspite of my instincts telling me "I have a feeling he is bad." Oh! I didn't tell you right? I always have this feeling of my instinct that says me when good or bad things are happening. I know what you are thinking... its like fortune telling... But nah.. I am not... I just have a feeling, you know that instinct which always tells us. For me it's more that's it.              So I trusted Caleb, and we are... were friends for ten months, but mom wants to settle in LA and it's difficult for me to say goodbye to one and only one friend. So I thought I will say goodbye while I am leaving maybe before 2 or 3 days. But I completed all paperwork and transfer formalities in school. So one day I stayed late in school. I don't know it's for better or worse. I heard Caleb and his other friends talking.. hufff.... well.... talking about ME. "So how much more time you need to pop the cherry of  YOURS ASTRID" one of the friends of caleb asked. I was shocked is an understatement. Still I didn't believe, I thought caleb defends me. But what he said the next moment pierced my heart into million pieces which left me with not even ounce of trust and love. "She trusted me well enough to date me I guess, so next I will ask her on a date, take her virginity, also take some ugly or beautiful nudes of hers."Caleb said and all his friends laughed. He also said " Dude.. she is so naive and actually thinks I'm her friend. This is so disgusting. Why I want to be friends with her even, it's completely torture. Y'll better pay up... it's a waste of an year for me. She is so boring... God... I don't know how I am even gonna bear her for next few months. She is a nerd and I can't keep up with her ugly ass." and his friends started laughing loudly. I was heartbroken. This is why I don't trust people. And I took an oath to not to trust anyone... anyone ever in my life. with that I left from there crying silently and went home, locked mysely in my room and cried untill there are no tears left. I asked God or faith... why is this always happening to me? why? Am I not trustworthy? Am I not good enough atleast to be a friend? I repeated all the questions in my mind untill there is nothing left in me except blankness.             Next day... My Parents and Nanay observed my sadness which is coming from me in miles... but didn't ask me anything. Instead, they cheered me up. I just went for a walk to clear my mind and heart and to get ready for my new adventure which is not a good feeling at all. There I saw the one and only My Ex-Bestfriend Mr.Caleb with his friends. When he saw me his eyes shown irritation but soon he covered it with so called excitement and walked towards me and said "Hey Ash!  what a coincidence! Are you following me?" slightly giving me a flirting smile and a wink. I literally want to rip his head. But I kep my cool and shrugged.             He noticed my cold eyes and carefully asked me " what happened". Then I lost all my cool and said "I was going to tell you that I was moving. But you wouldn't care anyway since our friendship is a bet to you and your friends. And I am so naive and boring so that you can actually make fun of me.. well... go f**k yourself" with that I kicked him in his balls. All his friends frozen with my braveness which they didn't expect of me.              Little did they know I have a black belt in karate, judo and a red belt in jiu jitsu. My parents always taught me and my cousins to stand up and learn to defend ourselves. In terms of family, I think I'm lucky. I also punched him in the jaw. I think he got a broken nose as well. That's it I'm never gonna trust anyone. Maybe my family is more than enough for me. Flashback ends. Later that night my parents asked me what happened, I told them everything and they told me they are proud of me for standing up for myself and encouraged me to cheer up. We watched movies and eat ice-cream. Since, mom craves everything and anything in a span of few minutes, my dad cursed himself but mom heard and hell broke loose after that. It's fun to watch my dad begging my mom to forgive even though its not his fault. It cheered me up a bit but I fell into thinking again whether I will get that kind of pure love in my life. I asked myself... Am I lucky enough for once in my life to love and to be loved?             After two days... we relocated to LA. The house is huge and beautiful with big garden and I can grow my favourite Red Roses with the help of Nanay which makes me excited. Also has swimming pooI and other basic things. I need to buy some clothes as I donated my old clothes to orphanage. So I need to make a trip to shopping mall to buy some clothes and some necessary things to school which I should start going in 3 days. Suddenly I got an idea, I don't to want to attract any more attention so I am thinking I need disguise myself. My Parents are not happy about this but eventually they agreed. I just want to be invisible from this world and especially high-schoolers. So I made a necessary list which contains more fancy clothes for parties/family re-unions with my parents, rugged and hideous clothes, ugly black colored wig(brunettes are beautiful but this wig I bought is nasty, I don't know how these things manufacture), fake acne spots, foundation with mis-match color, some ugly lip tint to hide my natural pink lips. I bought them all from different stores which sucks my energy. I tried the things which I bought which seriously makes me look hideous. And that's the thing I want. But I have a feeling... this look is just for my own satisfaction and nothing more. Will I again attract attention but this time... Is it positive or negative...?
