Chapter 1

~NARRATES KATE~

My name is Kate, I am sixteen years old, I am of medium height, I have dark straight hair, brown eyes and I usually like to wear jeans and loose t-shirts.I just moved to San Francisco, two days before starting the new course, because of my mother's job – I hate having to change cities every year - I don't know why, but I have a feeling that this year is going to be different.My father left me and my mother alone when I was four years old, so I didn't know him, but according to my mother he was a jerk and a conceited person who only thought about him.I'm lying in bed thinking about what the new institute will be like and waiting for dinner to be made."It's time for dinner," my mother says from the kitchen.- I'm coming, - I shout from the other end of the house.The house chosen by my mother is a small villa located near the coast, overlooking the sea.After dinner I go to my room to listen to music before falling asleep.The next morning I get up a little late and it occurs to me to go for a run on the beach and get to know the neighborhood a little- Mom I'm going for a run-I say before going out, my mother looks me up and down and tells me to be careful.After running for forty-five minutes I decide to turn around because it seems to me that my mother will already have the food made. On the way home I stop by a tea shop and decide to rest and have a coffee, the saleswoman who attends to me takes a while to prepare things because there is a lot of work.When I get home my mother has already prepared a hamburger with potatoes for lunch, so it seems she has already gone to work and even at night she is not going to return, so since I am alone at home I decide to go to my room to eat while listening to music and looking at my Instagram.I have just eaten and I put the dishwasher on, at that same moment I hear the doorbell ring, I go out to open it and in front of me I find a girl a little shorter than me, with blonde hair, green eyes and she is dressed in a tight T-shirt and tight jeans, in her hand she carries a basket full of things.-Hi, I'm Jenny, I'm sixteen years old, I live opposite and on behalf of my mother and I wanted to give you this for being new to the neighborhood - Jenny tells me standing at the door of my house while she extends the basket to me.I take the basket and invite her in, I indicate where the living room is and I go to the kitchen to leave the basket.Already in the living room we both sat down and started talking about what San Francisco is like, what the institutes are like and what we want to study in the future.We are so focused talking that we don't realize that my mother has already arrived. Jenny looks at the time on the mobile and sees that it is seven and that she has a call from her mother, she says goodbye to both my mother and me, since her mother had told her not to be late because tomorrow was the first day of school.As soon as Jenny left I had dinner with my mother, prepared things for the next day and went to sleep.
