The summer has ended now and I’m starting my first semester at T.C. Williams. The first day was pretty tough. I didn’t say much. I used to live in this town of Arlington, so I still know some people. Things should get better. I have met some new people. So at least I have some friends.
The next few weeks got a lot easier. I made a lot more friends. Jess and I sort of grew apart once school started. I barely see her anymore. She made a lot of friends at NDA, so I guess things are going to be a lot different now, even though we promised to always be friends. It’s alright though. I haven’t really kept in touch with the rest of my Hernando friends either. There’s nothing I can really do about it though. Being a freshman in high school is a lot different than being in 8th grade. It’s time to move on and make new friends, a time to start over.
My friends from T.C. are really nice. Things have been going a lot better. I have this one friend, named Taryne. She’s my best friend from this school. She is always making me laugh. She’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Even though we are completely different, we have a lot in common. I think that’s why we’re such good friends. Sometimes we fight, but each time we make up, it makes out friendship stronger. Taryne doesn’t drink or smoke and she barely swears. It’s good for me to have a friend like her; she brings a positive influence into my life. I think it’s exactly what I needed; especially at this point in my life.
December 2006The year is almost over. 2007 is coming around now. It has been a year for the ages. I actually made it through; something I didn’t expect. I didn’t expect to be here today at all. My new friends are absolutely amazing. I think that’s why I got through lately. I’ve been sober for almost 3 months now. Jess would be proud. Things have been so much better since I came to this school. Well, everything away from home is going good. Once I go home, I’m just fighting to stay alive. The arguing is complete chaos.
I’ve got almost straight A’s right now with the exception of English and Algebra. Those are B’s. Now it’s not so much about my grades, now, it’s just about everything I do around my house. Even if I look at my dad wrong, he will said “What the hell is that look for?!” He has gotten worse as time has gone on. It seems like my parents are going to be getting a divorce sometime soon. Maybe it’s for the best. I can go live with my mom, even though we would have extremely low-income, I would finally be away from my dad, and all the pain he causes me to feel. Now, I’m fifteen years old. I hope I can stay sober until the summer.
