Kerstin is a young girl around age 13, who lives with her mother in an upper-class neighborhood. Her parents have been divorced for the last three years and she hasn’t spoken to her father since he left. It was the first day of school and she was very nervous. When she approached the bus stop, there was a very attractive young man sitting there in a varsity jersey. She knew immediately he was too old to be interested in her. When the bus came he walked right up to her seat and said “Hey I’m Kyle, may I sit down?” From that moment on they were inseparable, and fell completely in love.
Kyle was a captain of the varsity football and wrestling team, he was a straight A student and three years older than Kerstin. She couldn’t believe he was head over heels for her. She was also a straight A student, cheerleader and extremely active in her school and community. His family was immediately crazy about her and once her family saw past the age difference, they loved him. They lived their own personal fairytale for two years.
Kerstin began to feel like she lost herself, like she had only become what Kyle wanted her too. She lost her roots, who she truly was. Kerstin was raised on a farm a country girl, who rode horses and loved to go mudding. Now she was a preppy cheerleader partying all the time. Kerstin had a hard time telling anyone how she felt, she felt guilty for feeling the way she did. Everyone she knew would kill for her life, yet she wasn’t happy.
Kyle was now a senior and about to go away to college. Kerstin saw this as the perfect opportunity to talk to Kyle about how she was feeling. This was her chance to be herself, be happy and go back to her roots. Matt was hurt at first and tried to convince her to stay with him but eventually moved on. So did Kerstin and now lives with the next boys he dated, Ken. They are both happier and still best friends to this day…
