WARNING: This story is harshly painful to write, but I needed to. I'm moving
to a town that's far away from Brandon, this is my only closure. Bear with
me, I hope it's somewhat enjoyable...

THE BRANDON CHRONICLES p1

       I went pale. I had wanted this less than 3 weeks ago, but now it was
happening. Why could't I find out I was moving yesterday, on the last day of
school? At least then, I'd have been able to personally say goodbye. But life
isn't nice to me. Never has been. Finishing up the play had made me remember
why I got up in the mornings. I loved my school's drama program, the teacher,
the people in it... however, it wasn't until we did this play that I
remembered it. Now, I didn't want to go. Unfortunately, when I got the news
that my dad had got the job, it was too late to do anything. I started
thinking of all the different people that night. Timmy. His family was so
rich, but I didn't know it until we went to his house. He was the only rich
person I'd ever met who wasn't flashy. He wasn't rude, in fact, he was quite
the opposite. He was so incredibly nice to everone, including me. Jared. The
coolest freshman -- no, there is Casey (she's amazing) -- but still, Jared
was great. He worried me at first. Guys had never flirted with me before him.
Hell, people don't even know I'm not straight. He knew it, though. His gaydar
works, where mine doesn't seem to exist. He was such a hottie... and to find
out that our parents used to work together! What a strange coincidence.
Ashley, I'd really miss her. Jeez, how many people will I be leaving? Hanna,
Chris, Zack, Brandon... Oh, Brandon. Why did I have to think of you? I love
you so much, but you hurt me. I should call you and let you know I'm moving.
If I'm gone from this town, I may as well reveal my feelings, right?
