A Simple Walk In the Woods...

     I'm heading for a walk to clear my mind because the animosity between my grandmother and I have reached its limit. Not only is she keeping something from me, but she's also acting like losing my parents at a young age is fine. That it shouldn't bother me anymore. I don't have nobody else for family, only my grandma.

    I mean, thankfully I have my best friend Jade Henshaw, she's like a sister to me. We're both 17 years old and juniors at Lakevalley High School. Jade is stunning; she's about my height, maybe an inch shorter than I and I'm about 5'7". She has brown hair with lighter blonde highlights and honey-colored eyes. We met a couple years after my parents died when we were about 6 years old.

   I don't remember much before it all happened, but I do remember being happy and felt that connection, a sense of family and a close-knit community. My grandma tells me how much I was loved by her son and his wife, my parents. But she won't talk much about it or she gets upset. I hope this school year gets better. Only time will tell...
