Or: Caden is going into his first year as a freshman with his best friends. But when his parents tell him he's moving, he has to navigate where his place truly is without the people that made life worth living.

Notes:

hiiii its been a bit!

so this is for a contest (that's why its original) but the word count needs to be 2000 words (CURSES!!) so I wanted to post the unedited version first. just to be clear, this is still HEAVILY edited, it's just what I hoped to submit and I have to trim it still :(

anyway, enjoy! notes on where I've been at the end!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

so a bit of background on this situation

 

I graduate middle school in two weeks and then a month after that i move to glendale in socal. i’m currently in sacramento right now, so im still in the state. but its wayyyyyy hotter there and also WHERE THE HECK IS GLENDALE?? does anyone honestly live there??

 

my best friend is sam. he’s been going to my school since kindergarten. he’s the one who told me to go to sleep last night

 

thank god that the internet is a wonderful place where i can facetime my friends so “glendale” wont kill our friendship! (take that glendale)

 

i also learned that it’s only an hour away from disneyland…

hi guys! sorry about the sparse updates. right now my family is packing and in my free time ive been hanging with sam and my friends before i move.

 

so lincoln high in glendale is where i’m going to school. don’t ask me which one because there are 6 LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOLS in that area and i don’t have the willpower to actually research about it.

 

i know this account was made to complain, but it really does suck. ive spent my entire life here, and now I just have to leave. im going somewhere new with no one i know and i’m just expected to adjust?? They don’t know me and they’ll probably think im a nerd or weird and then ill never belong.

 

idk. maybe im thinking about this waaaaaay too hard. i just finished packing kitchen stuff, so maybe im just moody.

 

it still sucks.

@lilyvstheworld asked:

 

     > i’m so sorry you’re feeling that way. i moved right before the pandemic and i remember how hard it was to feel accepted, especially via zoom. when covid ended, i joined track and found a great community. i got over being “the new kid” and made friends that i’m going into senior year with! maybe that will help <3

 

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!! thanks so much for the advice; this was just one example of the over 20 people who responded! i was feeling pretty depressed yesterday, so this was very awesome to wake up to!

 

me and sam played trombones in concert band, so im thinking of continuing on with music. i prefer history, but band looks fun (plus it gets me out of PE THANK GOD!!)

 

im also thinking some social justice clubs :p i’m a nerd, sue me.

 

anyway thanks again for the advice!!

@caden._.ohboy

 

i think i messed up. i havent been able to talk to sam at all. I dthink hes ignoring me

 

hes been my best friend forever. hes basically why im alive today. i dont want him to be mad at me but i dont know what to do. what did i even do?

 

Comments:

     @d.briarwood <3 > check your texts

 


 

dee

(539)280-XXXX

 

you need to talk to sam

 

he was so quiet today during band

 

he’s never quiet!

 

im really worried

 

its not my fault!

 

he should be communicating himself, not dumping it on you or me!

 

i didnt choose to leave

 

im just trying to survive the first year of high school! alone!

 

its not like im not trying. Ive been texting him all weekend and he didnt respond ONCE!

 

hes hurting

 

WELL SO AM I

 

i didnt just lose my home, i lost him. hes everything to me and now hes no longer here

 

what else am i supposed to do?

 

give me a second.

 

i wish i was still 6. everything was better then

 

d?

 

have you made friends?

 

...yeah?

 

?

 

the trombones are nice, it’s just…

 

i’m soooo worried they wont like me that i feel like im not even really there when im with them

 

i only speaking up when i know i wont embarrass myself.

 

why hide from them

 

 

what if i dont belong?

 

sam made me belong.

 

he helped me.

 

without him…

 

what is there to belong?

 

interesting

 

???

 

sam said the same thing. he doesnt feel like a part of this group without you.

 

but hes sam

 

everyone has anxiety. even someone as extroverted as him

 

he saw you with your new friends and felt replaced.

 

he felt scared.

 

really.

 

yeah

 

just like how you are trying to figure out your place without him, hes trying to do the same.

 

you were each others tethers.

 

… did he tell you this?

 

please 

 

he’s so obvious



well how do i figure that out

 

how do i figure out where i belong

 

id start with talking to sam

 

cause yall definitely belong together

 

thanks dee

 

hey what else would i be doing?

 

im not just a pretty face <3

 


 

sammy boy

(539)280-XXXX

 

can we talk?

@caden._.ohboy

 

sam and i talked and our conversation made me realize that “belonging” is stupid. all anyone can really do is belong in ones own skin. he real belonging is finding something to keep going

 

i think i found it.

 

my friends make me feel complete. i dont feel weird or abnormal when im with them. I feel okay with myself. thats what makes me okay

 

sam has been going through it recently. its not my story to tell, but he told me how i made him belong. how i filled that gap. so i told him something i was told a while ago: “you are your biggest purpose in life.” i told him how i loved him and that im so sorry i cant be as big of a part in his life now, but that i will be there however i can. thats the best we can do, is to be there for someone

 

anyway parent performance today. gotta sleep. peace.

Notes:

high school

that's it

that's where ive been lol

anyway I do plan on writing more fanfic (who knew marching band was so time-consuming?) because im about to have so much time and I need to fill the hole somehow

I'm going to rewrite some of my better fics that is started and make some new stuff (things I already have started) but i made a new policy that I don't post a fic if it isn't finished. I HATE cliffhangers so I don't want to do that to anyone. my hope is, starting after this, I don't post until all of it's written. so it will take longer but it does mean the stories are completed and ready to go into the world. so if I post, it will be finsihed

thanks for reading! I know it's different but I was proud of it and wanted to share before I butcher it for my word count. lol

thanks again! have a great rest of your day/night/week/year!!
