I stand in the middle of the school hallway fiddling with my new charm bracelet. For what seems like the past hour, I've been standing here deciding how I should tell Mina about my little flashback memory on Friday.
It's Monday now and I spent all weekend with what looks like my new group of friends. Mina, Brent, Axel, and Preston; who I still refuse to call Ace. We've gotten a lot closer over the last couple of days, talking and making jokes for hours on end. But staying away from our pasts, each having their own reasons.
Deciding it's now or never I push open the cafeteria doors ready to act out my unplanned mission. Tell Mina.
I walk to our usual table where the three boys are also sitting. All talking and laughing at a joke Brent had probably made.
This weekend I learned a lot about the boys, their likes, dislikes, and their personalities.
Brent, always being the life of any party and the heart of any conversation. He's always cracking jokes, usually sex related, and always has something to say. On the surface, he just seems like the class clown and a bit of a rebel, but Brent is actually very sweet and polite. He's quite the gentleman, always holding doors open and pulling out seats.
Axel is the one who surprised me the most. On the exterior, he gives off the bad boy 'I'm tough and mysterious' vibe but in reality, has a soft center. He's sweet and caring and I can tell he likes Mina. He dazzles her with his words and tops it off with his actions. He doesn't hit on her like every other player, but compliments her and treats her with respect. He has a sarcastic sense of humor and a real soft spot for his little sister. But if I said any of this to anyone he would kill me.
Lastly, there's Preston, he always acts cocky and like he's Mr.Big-shot or whatever to everyone else but with the group, me especially, he's different. His true self even. He's protective over his friends and the people he cares about, and he's always gentle and kind-hearted with me even though to others it seems like he only cares about himself. He's charming, smart and may I add very cheesy, always cracking the cringest yet witty jokes. His rare smile could light up a room and his laughter fills it. He's every girl's dream guy, maybe even mine. Heck, even I would date him if I was into that whole thing. He was himself all weekend even though I couldn't shake the feeling like he was hiding something. I didn't pry though, everyone has their secrets, and everyone's entitled to keep them.
Snapping back to reality I arrive at our table and stand next to Mina everyone stopping mid-conversation.
"Hey, what's wrong? Why aren't you sitting down?" Mina asks concerned.
"I need to talk to you," I say looking down at the table. I avoid eye contact with the boys. "Alone." I don't want to tell everyone just yet, but I feel bad keeping it from them.
"Yeah sure." She says getting up and following me out into the hallway.
She follows me out and after a moment of silence I break out into tears.
"I don't know who I am," I say tears falling down my cheeks. "I don't know if I can live like this, not knowing. Only remembering living two years of my life."
Mina gives me a hug as I cry into her shoulder. "Shh, calm down, take a breath. Tell me what it is." She says knowing there's more.
I tell her about the memory coming back. "I didn't even know it was a car crash. My parents kept everything from me, it's like they don't want me to remember. I just want to know who I am. Who was my first friend, what's my most cherished memory?"
We talk for a bit more until we come to a conclusion.
If I really want to remember, I'll have to work for it and take it into my own hands.
It's time to remember.

QOTD: What is the silliest secret you've kept?
J: When I was in elementary, I would ask my friends to buy me stuff animals on my birthday just so I could name them and pretend they had 'magical powers', lol I was so weird. Wait I still am, HA!
M: My best friend in elementery at the time was obsessed with One Direction but didn't want anyone at school making fun of her for it. One day she bought their poster at the book fair and I kept it in my locker telling anyone who asked that it was mine. If you ask me I think I took one for the team, I kept that secret for three years until she decided she wasn't ashamed anymore.
