Perfect Stars
Chapter 1
2011
28 years, it hasn't seemed like its been that long, but It's a strange thing, how when you are younger you have no concept of how fast time really goes by. Like the snap of a finger…or the spin of tire swing that's something I can relate to.
1988
"Kimberly Ann Hart you get your butt in her right now!"
Trini looked at me as we stood up, whenever my Mother used my full name I knew that I was in trouble. Trini was my best friend, in the entire world, I knew she would stand by my side while I was getting yelled at.
I turned around to smile at her to thank her for staying with me, but she was already running for her house. Oh yeah, she stuck around, all right.
My mom came outside instead of waiting for me to get in the house, which I wish she would've. Public humiliation defiantly wasn't my favorite thing.
"Look at you Five years old and you are still playing in the mud, in your new dress none the less."
I winced slightly. I didn't know that I would get dirty when Trini came over and we went to go make mud pies. Who Knew they could be so messy?
She must have noticed that I was sorry because she took my hand and lead me into the house to get changed.
I looked behind me, no one heard anything, thankfully, and everyone was either inside there houses eating dinner or gone. Trini probably heard it, traitor.
I Live in Angel Grove, in the same house my entire life. My life kinda reminded me of that movie, Now and Then, the one where the four girls lived in that subdivision, but instead of living in different parts of it, we all lived next door to each other. Since we all were pretty much the same age, our parents never put up fences, or anything so we could play together whenever we wanted, sorta like one big park.
The Oliver's had a swimming pool, Trini had this jungle gym playhouse thing, Billy had all the video games, Jason had all the sports equipment all the boys things. Aisha had all the dolls and makeup for the girls, and my house had the tire swing and the food. I'm almost sure that our parents worked it out that way, but they deny it to this day. Oh well, no important thing.
Like I said, it was just like a movie. Eight kids with this perfect life and perfect houses with a big green grass backyard. Now, it's hysterical to me.
I keep mentioning this Group as 'us' and you don't know who I am talking about.
Trini Kwan. She was my absolute best friend in every way possible. I had been friends with her since we were in Diapers. She was the wild one of the group, although she was Kind of panicky, Billy use to call her 'Spaz' and of course she hated it. She had long black hair that went to about the middle of her back, her dark brown eyes always reminded me of the Mud pies that we use to make all the time.
Billy Cranston. My Other best friend he was totally goofy and awkward. He wasn't that big on playing sports, but he loved dodgeball, why I'll never know, but he was smart, so smart that no one ever made fun of him, They probably figured that he'd be famous or something like that.
Rocky DeSantos. His Wild Spiky hair used to drive me absolutely nuts. His mother was constantly trying to get him to brush it down, or do something else with it, although his dad said it make him look all manly and Tough. And since he was a boy which parent do you think he listened to?
Aisha Campbell. She always had her hair in braids no matter the length, she just had it in braids. It made me appreciate my hair, its not that it looked bad, it didn't it was just...I don't know not for me I guess. That girl had so many Personalities, I still haven't see all of them. She is like ten different people in one. It can be infuriating at times, but its what makes her interesting.
Tommy and Katherine Oliver. The were the only ones out of our little 'group' who had a sibling, but since it was each other it was okay. IT was weird how none of us had any brothers or sisters. Maybe our parents noticed our movie life, and thought it was too perfect to mess it up. If that's true, we all know that they wouldn't ever admit to it. They'll just keep it to themselves.
Anyways, Katherine, or Kat as we called her. Remind me of the Barbie's we use to play with.Her Long blonde hair always made me wish I had it. She was always so perfect, the way she walked the way she talked, even the way she drank her milk was perfect.
Tommy. Well I am not sure how to describe him. He was always the quiet one, when we were younger I wasn't quiet sure what to think of him. Tommy had layers. And I don't mean just one or two, he had layer upon layer upon layers that you had to get through to get to know him. But it was worth it, definitely.
Anyway, my mom took me inside cleaned me up and sent me to bed. My dad had bought me a telescope. Why I'll never know until this day, I mean I loved looking at stars as much as the next person, but I think it was more for my dad then me. The one thing I remember most about my dad is that he loved to look at the stars he always would take me out side and lay out a blanket and we'd lay there for hours and I would listen to him talk about the universe until I feel asleep and he would carry me back to my room. Remembering times like these it almost makes me miss him, notice I said almost.
