Changes

When Beatrice's brother Jackson was going through a crazy court case with a crazy judge, she was still focused. Eventually they moved to another neighborhood and Jackson was still gone. New school, new home, new life and to Beatrice this was gonna be hard but st least she had her grandfather. The first week in school was easy but when people started noticing her it got a little rocky. Some girls wanted to pick on her, while others just did not talk to her. She got tired of the bullying and trash talking so instead of staying focused she decided to speak her mind. At that point she gained a little more respect and even made some new friends. One weekend while she had company her grandfather collapsed and died of cancer. This was the second man she really cared about that she lost. She became very disruptive in class but her grades never dropped though. One weekend  That summer she joined a cheerleading team to keep her busy plus she liked it. There was only one problem too much free time and not enough to do. Her friends were all partying and having fun while all she did was sit at home. Bored with her daily routine she started to go to the beach with her sister and friends, that's when she started spending more time in the street. To her it was harmless until she noticed that some of her friends smoke, drink, and even have sex. She never joined in because she did not think she was ready for sex, but she would try drinking and smoking. Peer pressure is a real problem in this world.
