There are other fish in the sea.
Part 3 chapter 1.
Heidi wasn’t here with me for the very beginning of eighth grade, I could’ve definitely have used her now because now, I was in accelerated classes. And over the summer my grandmother died, so I knew it was going to be a rough day of school. My grandmother was a great woman. She was always there for me, and I knew I could count on her. But now, she was with her family and all the angels in heaven. I knew she would get taken good care of up there.
I tried out for the Varsity gymnastics team again. I knew I would make it this year if I made it last year. Coach Beverly loved me. So I knew, again, that I was bound to make the team… and I did!
By the second month of eighth grade, my grades were sky-rocketing, my gymnastics tricks were getting cleaner and cleaner and my relationship status was, of course, staying the same. And the worst part was that I didn’t even have Heidi here to help me. I called her every single day to see how she was, but truthfully, I don’t think she cared. She made new friends, and got a new boyfriend, and everything was perfectly fine without me in her world. But I always, every single day, thought of her, and what she said “There’s other fish in the sea hun, everything’s gunna be alright”.
