"urgh!" I said while getting out of thecar

"don't say that lex, its going to be fun, anyways we haven't seen each other in a while!" my perky sister said

"URRRRGGHHHHHH" I said even louder

"stop being such an ass babe you're going to enjoy living in florida"

oh I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Anna  Gabriou but you can call me Alexe and im currently in the process of moving in with my sister Becca and her fiancé Josh, you see my dad died when I was 10 due to cancer and my mom died about a year ago in a car crash. My sister always wanted me to go live with her in Florida after I finished with therapy and stuff ( I have depression and had cutting problems, been an ex-cutter since about 7 months). After a long drive we finally got to the house, It wasn't a big house but wasn't a small one either, when I got out of the car I saw josh's niece Hellena, who I adored to death.

"Lexa!!" she screamed as I opened the trunk

"Hella!"

She jumped in my arms

" so you're finally gonna be living here right lexa?"

"apparently, since someone doesn't want to let me stay in Canada" my sister gave me an don't blame this on me look.

"c"mon babe let's get your crap out of my car and get you settled in" Josh said with a creepy smile

Honestly I never understood my josh called me "babe" it's just something he always did, I'll admit it's really weird that my sister's fiancé call's me that.  When I got into the house I was baffled, it looked really similar to my house in Canada. Caitlyn, Josh's sister, was one of my favorite people of earth

"Anna, it's been awhile" she told me with a huge smile

"c'mon cait I told you to call me Alexe, I hate being called Anna" I said while hugging her

"let's get your room settled" she said while grabbing my hand and leading me to my new room.

My room was pretty simple, a bed, closet, desk, posters of some my favorite  bands. I was stunned.  It was pretty cool honestly, I loved my new room.

The next day

I woke up on the floor why? i dont even know. Urrrrgh I moaned in my head I hate everything. I skipped breakfast and when skateboarding, where? I don't even know I just headed in one direction and keep going for about 20 minutes. When I got back to my street I saw 3 guys playing basketball 3 doors down where I was living

"c'mon tobster pass it!" one guy said

"awe I missed the basket" the guy with the basketball said while trying to shoot it in the basket

"that was an easy shot"  a third guy said.

When I got in the house I took a shower and changed into ripped red skinny jeans, my marianas trench tshirt and a jean vest. I decided to re-read john green's the fault in our stars, damm I hated john green especially tfios, it made me cry ever y time I read it. I was getting into an intense part where Augustus was telling Hazel that the cancer came back when someone knocked on my door, since no one really said "I'll get it" I guess this meant I needed to answer the door. When I opened the door one of the guys that was playing basketball was there,

"um... hi my name's toby, um... is Caitlyn there?" he said

I"ll admit, he was really cute. His eyes were brown and so was his hair.

"uh, yeah hold on, come in I'll go get her"

"thanks" he said while smiling

"OI! CAIT GET DOWN SOMEONE'S HERE TO SEE YOU!!" I yelled pretty loudly " AND HE HAS A POT OF FLOUR... I think"

" I geez Anna I don't think the neighbors can hear you, why don't you scream louder??" Cait told me while walking down the stairs "-oh toby! How are you?"

"pretty good, um my mom wanted to give you back the flour you lent her yesterday and she sent me. So here"

"haha thanks, hey are you guys still coming over for dinner tomorrow night??"

" im pretty sure we are"

"awesome" she smiled, Caitlyn was always smilling I swear I've never seen that woman mad over anything. "Oh toby have you met Anna?" and she pointed at me

"I have not, nice to meet you anna" he held out his hand to shake me

"call me Alexe, I've always hated the name Anna" I said not lifting my eyes up from my book

"well then nice to meet you Alexe"

"same"

"... so you're just not going to shake my hand?"

"you see, If I were to shake your hand I would need to get up, and im just too lazy right now sorry"

"haha well then... I guess I'll see you around"

"guess you will"
