Entranced

The beginning

I walked into my new home full of excitement. It was absolutely beautiful. Crystal chandeliers hung from the 15 foot ceiling, the smell of fresh white paint was thick in the air and the spiralled staircase was absolutely breathtaking. I had never been to Canada before I moved here last summer, but may I just say, it's way too cold. But all in all, I loved Halifax. There was a beautiful Boardwalk along the coast with ice cream shops, parks and breathtaking views. I would sometimes sit there for hours watching cruise ships stop in and pull out again. We had been living in an apartment for a year when we found the house. It was a blue, three story house of 4800 square feet. All of the walls were a pearl white that shone beautifully when the sun came through our window that gave you a clear view of our backyard. My backyard was composed of a medium sized pool, extremely green grass and a second garage containing my light blue custom Camaro convertible. My younger brother, Dylan is always nagging me because of my lack of care when I drive, but the feeling of the wind blowing in my curly brown hair is worth every single speeding ticket.

I took my white vans off and stepped fully into the house.
The hardwood floors felt cold on my feet making me shiver as I quickly closed the door. I was still getting used to the extremely cold winters here, but I didn't mind buying new clothes for it. Who ever knew sweaters and Uggs were so comfy? I quickly put on my Uggs and travelled up the winding staircase lit with fake candles. I had invited my best friends, Brooklyn and Danika to come help me unpack, then have a movie night, so I sat on my bed on Tumblr and Instagram waiting for them to arrive. It's not like I was going to start the work without them anyways.

As I set my phone down, just thinking about starting next semester, my phone rang, signalling my beloved parents were calling.

"Mummy!" I yelled into the phone. My parents were out shopping for some furniture for the soon to be theatre in our basement. Promising they would buy me a cotton candy machine, I immediately suspected this was what they were calling me about.

"Hello darling!" My mother replied sweetly.
"We are currently shopping for your cotton candy machine, but your father seems to have noticed a popcorn machine that interests him. TED!" My mother yelled at my father jokingly.

I had an amazing family. Always caring, fairly wealthy, as my parents were both doctors, and incredibly amusing parents. They were almost teenagers themselves.

"Mom! Earth to Tanya! I'm still here!" I replied

"Oh yes, sorry honey, I had to pry your fathers wrinkly hands off of that popcorn machine!"

"Hey! They are not wrinkly!" My father protested.

"Whatever you say honey. Anyway, Maddie, what colour would you prefer: blue, orange, purple or black?"

"Black. Definitely black." I responded.

Lately I had been into more black and white themed clothing , as opposed to my normal bright coloured, and very Tumblr influenced style. It had randomly started in almost cravings, as I found more and more black and white pieces that I liked.

"Alright honey! See you tonight! Don't drink too much with your friends!" She responded.

"Love you mummy!"

"You too darling!" And I hung up the phone.

Quickly after, the doorbell rang. Signalling the war to begin. I raced down the staircase to find my brother had fallen trying to get off the couch trying to, ever so gracefully, get to the door. I easily beat him and opened the door panting. Dylan cursed under his breath, knowing he owed me a bad of salt and vinegar chips.

Ever since I found out Dylan had a crush on Danika I had made a bet with him that if he could beat me to opening the door, I would put in a good word for him, but if I beat him, he owed my a bag of chips. So far, I was almost undefeated.

It was quite adorable really, how much he cared for Dani, except for his need to make perverted comments. I swear that boy has a dirtier mind than my entire class combined.
But he could also make the sweetest comments on how her blond hair looked way to soft to be true, or how her smile could change his mood in seconds. I truly think they would be cute together, but Dani was too busy with her boyfriend Matt. Even I couldn't deny that Matt and Dani were the cutest couple I had ever seen. While Dani was a respectable 5'7, Matt was a towering 6'3, making Dani look like a child compared to him. Somehow, they still seemed to look so perfect together. You could tell they deeply cared for each other the way they looked into each other's eyes.

Brooklyn, had scored one of the hottest guys her age. Jaedyn and Brooklyn were absolutely adorable together. Jaedyn having reached a total height of 6", was four inches taller than Brooklyn, and as a loving gesture he would always rest his chin on top of her head while he held her waist. Adorable.

But may I just say, my boyfriend treats me like an absolute princess.
Tanner and I have been dating for around 4 months now. He was the first boy to approach me when I moved here. I knew he was a player the minute I saw him, but I took a chance with him and so far it's been going great. I wasn't sure at first, because his demeanour had totally changed. He had went from being the schools player, who had never dated a girl in his life, to being a sweet, kiss blowing, cheesy boyfriend. Danika and Brooklyn couldn't believe it either. The first time he asked me out, we spent 3 hours trying to get me ready.

"Come on in" I said motioning for my best friends to walk in. At the same time, Dylan winked at Dani, making her blush as he walked away.

"OH MY GOD DANI DID YOU JUST BLUSH!" Brooklyn whisper yelled.

"No way!" Dani replied while trying to seem strict but failing miserably.

We ran up the stairs in excitement, to get to my room.

The next few hours were spent unpacking countless boxes of clothing and stuffing them into my walk in closet.

"Think you have enough clothes Maddie? Dear god! Three hours just to unpack your damn clothes!" Brooklyn rambled as we all laughed in response to her comment.

"Movie time?" Dani questioned.

"Movie time." We replied
