Hello, my name is Allison and I grew up in the USA but now I live in Colombia. Wonder how that happened?
Well it all started on my best friend Meg's 15th birthday, but before I get to that, let me tell you a quick story.
Once when I was 5 years old, my mom invited some of her lady friends for brunch and one of them had a little girl about my age. They put us together to play and we got along just fine until the little brat took my favorite stuffed animal, Bunny. I grabbed Bunny and tried to yank it from her but she hugged it tight.
“Give… it back! Now!”
She shook her head and hugged Bunny tighter.
“It's mine now!”
I lost it and bit her little finger so hard I drew blood. She dropped the Bunny and called out for her mommy crying at the top of her lungs. Her mom was petrified and told my mom that she was raising an animal not a child. That was the last I ever saw them again.
Since then, my parents and I moved from place to place because of their work. After saying goodbye to too many friends and crying every time we moved, I promised myself to never make any friends because what was the point?
However, I broke that promise when we moved to California and I met Meg. She was pretty and popular and being in her circle was EVERYTHING. A few days after I started at the new school, she invited me to sit with her during lunch and I couldn't believe my luck! I heard that some girls had been waiting for months to be offered a place at Meg’s table.
