The truth is we all face hardships of some kind and you never know what a person is going though. Behind every smile there’s a secret or a type of struggle. My name is May Thomson and its been the hardest 6 years of my life. 6 years ago my parents abandoned me, and about a year and a half after that I moved to London to live with my aunt [[Ruth]]. When I got there I started my new school at Springfield high school, i was the odd one out of course it kinda got better after I met [[Kelsey O’Connor]],she was the only one i thought i could trust. But you never really know who you can trust with secrets and who you can trust with your life. “May.Nicole.Thomson get the fuck up and get ready for school your going to be late”my aunt said barging into my room for the fourth time that day, “I don’t feel good” that was I lie, I feel fine but I had no intention to school that day. I covered my head and groaned to make it look believable “Your a lost cause” she mumbled leaving my room. I rolled my eyes and waited a couple minutes till i heard the front door close, I got dressed and grabbed my bag and went down stairs i knew if i left my aunts house i wasn’t going to end up at school so i texted Kelsey asking if she wanted to meet up at the Hazelwood cafe that was two blocks from my aunts. She texted back saying she would meet me in 20 minutes. I started walking and about a half way there i saw Kelsey so we walked together. When we got there we took our usual seats in the back corner “May, please come with me ” I looked up from my food to glance at her with my best confused look “What are you talking about, i think ill go back to my food now” i gave her a faint smile before taking another bite of my food, ” You know exactly what I’m talking about don’t play dumb with me May” she was right i knew exactly what she was talking about unfortunately, for the past week shes been asking me to go to this party Friday night but I’m not the party type and I’ve always tried to get out of every party with her, “Common May it’ll be fun, you can even get away from your aunt for a couple of hours” “I don’t know Kelsey I’ll think about it” she sighed and looked back down at her food because we both knew that i had no intention on thinking this over. I sat there half listening to Kelsey talk about her boyfriend Noah, I turned my head to look out the window and that’s when I saw him, I stared at him for what seemed like forever not able to process at all what I was seeing. He was tall, and muscular his hair was put into a high fade. He was standing there with 3 or 4 other guys. It felt like I was watching him for hours, his head turned in my direction, and his eyes met mine for the first time, goosebumps came rushing up my body like raindrops covering my skin, unnecessarily with no purpose. I couldn’t look away it was as if I was trapped by his eyes. I felt someone kick my foot from under the table, I broke my gaze and turned back to Kelsey who was looking at me with a confused expression on her face, I glared at her “what the fuck was that for Kelsey that hurt” i groaned because i could feel my leg start to get tingly I glared at her “did you hear what i said” she looked at me questioningly, i shrugged “of course not” she signed, “I asked if you wanted to go meet Lizzy at Green Park, she texted me saying her Becca and Deven are there” At the moment i would do anything to get my mind off of mystery boy but i couldn’t tell Kelsey that so i stuck with “sure” Kelsey paid then we left. When we got outside there was no sign of him or his friends i felt disappointed but i didn’t know why its not like i knew him or anything. About 3 blocks away from Green Park when we heard someone shout “Hey!” me and Kelsey both turned around to see Noah and his friends heading toward “Noah what are you doing here?” Kelsey said trying and failing to hide her excitement she ran up to him, he caught her in his arms and kissed her, he put her down and looked at me “Hey Kelsey, longtime no see” ” Yeah, its been a while, I’m still trying to keep a low profile” i faked smile at him, he chuckle at me. I never really liked Noah, I always had bad vibes around him so i avoid him as much as possible. " Hey May!” I turned my gaze from Noah to the voice and it was Christopher J Fox crap “Christopher” i said not in his direction. Christopher has been trying to get with me the past year and I’ve been rejecting him, he’s nice but hes too nice like boerderline creepy then again at least his not noah. ” You can call me Chris” still smiling at me “Yeah i know but i like Christopher” i smiled a little, but i think i sent him the wrong message because he smiled wider. I looked at Kelsey who was still attached to Noah and playing with his hair, “Kelsey I’m gonna go now” Kelsey turned to me slowly ripping her gaze from Noah’s to look at me “What, why? Lizzy and Deven are still waiting for use” “Yeah i know but I should probably get going I still got a couple of things to do, I’ll text you later” “Well okay then, but don’t forget about the party this Friday” she said giving me an encouraging smile i nodded “Hey May i could walk you home if you want” Christopher looked at me hope filling his eyes. God it was so hard to turn him down sometimes ” U mm, maybe next time i have to get something for my aunt first “ “Yeah, OK sure” i could hear his disappointment but i couldn’t ponder on it so i said bye and walked away
