    “ I don’t even know him. He’s probably like the other jerks in school who are looking for a quick lay. I’m not getting myself into that. I have to make something of myself and to do that, I shouldn’t be getting involved with men. You know this! I’ve told you this every time.”
     
    I don’t like to be like that towards her but I can’t help it. I tell her every time and she doesn’t seem to get it. I still love her, she will always be my best friend but she has to know when to stop.
     
    “ I know, I just want you to live a little. There’s nothing wrong with having a little fun, falling in love and not being so serious in your schoolwork all the time,” she told me with a pouty face.
     
    “ Look where love gets you! All around me I see it. My dad left my mom and now she has so many different boyfriends that I can’t keep track of them. Cadence slept with a bunch of people at this school, got knocked up and ran away. She hasn’t even had anyone stick around for her. Do I want to end up in a situation that is going to leave me broken, shattered and alone? No. I think I’ll stick to what I’m doing. Listen I don’t want to argue with you. You are all I have but I need to go to class. I’ll talk to you later.”
     
    With that I turned around and headed to class. New school year, new people, and somehow I seem to be getting moodier by the day. I just need to make it through this day.

    I make it home after a long day of school. As soon as I walk in the door, I am hit with the most amazing smell. I walk to the kitchen and my mom is slaving over the stove making us dinner.
     
    “ Hey Mom, what are you making?”
     
    I don’t even wait for her answer, I walk over to check it out myself.
     
    “ Stuffed green peppers. We have a visitor coming over that I would like you to meet.”
     
    I knew it! She always makes something delicious when she is bringing her new boyfriend over. I hate going through this. She has had so many boyfriends but none of them ever seem to stick around long enough to really peg them as a doting boyfriend. She should do us all a favor and not bring anyone around until they have been together at least six months. This is getting old.
     
    “ Who is it now, Mom?”
     
    I wish she wouldn’t bring them around at all. They never seem to last long. Maybe it’s me? Maybe they got wind of what happened to Cadence, too? I don’t know. I think these men are too chicken-shit to deal with a single mother who has a rebel child and a teenage daughter. I think they secretly cringe when they come over to meet me. That’s all fine and dandy because I’m not too fond of them either.
     
    “ Oh, it’s just someone I met at the grocery store the other day. He is really handsome and he seems to have a nice head on his shoulders.”
     
    Great! She tells me this every time, which means she’s bringing home the neighborhood scumbag. I don’t even know why she bothers. She should have realized with my father that there really aren’t any guys worth it anymore.
     
    “ Okay, I guess I’ll go upstairs and do my homework.”
     
    I started to go upstairs to my room and she stopped me.
     
    “ You are such a good child. I was so blessed to have you. I’m very proud of you, I hope you know that. How was school? Any new kids?”
     
    And this is why I swore off men. My mom is proud of me and I love hearing it. I really don’t want to screw that up so I have to be the best child that I can be.
     
    “ School was fine. I wish it would have ended sooner. Of course there are new kids but a lot of the same pricks as last year. I’ll see you at the dinner table. Love you, Mom.”
     
    I went in my room and closed my door. I sat down on my pink fluffy bed and put on my Beats by Dre headphones. The first song to play is Taylor Swift’s Red . Listening to the lyrics somehow steers my mind to Aiden. I can’t be doing this. I never daydream about anyone. I can’t seem to focus on
