Chapter 2

It has been a week since David and I started going out. We were falling madly in love! He was so funny and sweet. And I can't forget hot. He was like this angel sent from Heaven, he was just perfect! I loved everything about him.

Anyways, I can still remember our first date. It was so magical. Alright, so it was just to the movies, but let's be honest, who goes to the movies to actually watch a movie? I can't even tell you what movie we saw. But I can tell you that he was one good kisser.

As I was falling more in love with David, I seemed to forget about everything else around me. My best friend Jessica and I hardly saw each other any more, only at school. The weekends and after school was my David time. We were always together. Always. That tended to become a problem, though. A big one, actually.

"Hey Kel, it's 5 o'clock, you were suppose to come home RIGHT after school today!" My mother would always hound me. At least I wasn't like my brother and come home from school at like seven. But when ever I'd bring that up mom would just say "Well, that's cause he's in sports! Sports is different than going out on dates!" And when ever I would ask her why she'd go into her mother lecture mode and start yelling at me. Although I have to be honest, about the only thing I got out of those speeches was "Go to your room!" I liked it when mom told me to go there. It was a place where I didn't have to listen to mom, or to my brother and sister always fighting. Plus, I got to call David. Well, at least until mom would come upstairs and hear me talking to someone. She bought the whole story that I'm talking to our dog until mom realized we don't have a dog! Got to love how stupid parents are, right? Do you want to know the sad part? It took mom like two months to figure out we don't have a dog. So meet Bob. I created him. He was my 'imaginary friend'. Yea, I told mom I had one of those too, but she didn't buy that one for as long. You should have seen her face the night she came into my room to talk to me, when she sat down on my bed I yelled "Don't sit there mom, that's where Bob is!" She jumped so high, cause she didn't want to sit on him. But once she noticed me on the floor having a fit of laughter, she realized there was no Bob. That was the end of my 'imaginary friend' days.

My family had always been a bit, um, how can I put it nicely? A bit off the wall. My parents were always fighting, but they swore up and down that they still loved each other as much as the first day they met. Yeah right. Then my brother, Jason who was a senior, he was like the biggest sport jock you would ever meet. Then my younger sister, Alyssa, who was in the 8th grade, was the biggest nerd you'd ever meet. And me? I was neither. I liked to call myself the 'middle class'. I wasn't into sports, but I also wasn't no nerd. I was me. You can probably tell that my brother and sister had a lot to fight about. They would fight about anything and everything. I would usually just sit back and watch how dumb they were. My favorite arguments would have to be the whole 'I'm cooler than you!'. There was my big mucho brother on one side, and my scrawny little sister on the other yelling back and forth "I'm cooler!", "No, you, you little retard, I'm the cooler one!" Jason would always have to throw in the retard. Like it made him the bigger person or something.

So, that was my family life, as for my school life, it wasn't much different. I didn't really have a group, like I wasn't the prep, or the nerd, or the jock, I just had my own group of friends. There was Jessica, Lindsey, Ashley, Janet and Mary. They may not have been popular or anything, but they were my friends and that was why I loved them so much. Before I started going out with David, they would come over every Friday for pizza and a movie night. It may not have been the most exciting thing, but it was something to do, and it was fun for us. We didn't need drugs or alcohol, or even a club to have fun. Nope, we just made our own fun. Pillow fights, staying up all night, gossiping. Oh yea, we did it all. My parents also loved pizza and a movie night. I think they sometimes looked more forward to it than me. I could never figure out why. But then again, what kid can actually figure out their parents? They work in very weird ways.

But once David and I started going out, I didn't have time for pizza and a movie night anymore. They were always at my house though and my friends still showed, and my parents would still buy the pizza and rent a movie- without me! I swear it took them like four weeks before they even noticed I wasn't there. Again, you gotta love how stupid your parents are. I liked it better when they didn't notice I wasn't there, though. David and I were free to do anything that we wanted, and we could stay out as long as we wanted. Which was usually all night. But after we did that for about four weeks, I couldn't stay out all night anymore. That was the first time I noticed 'it' in David...
