A New Start - A Jemi FanFiction

Chapter 1 - The Move

Demi’s Pov

“Well this is nice” mom said as she pulled into the driveway of our new house. I have to admit, it looks nice from the outside, and my first impression of this house was good; but after telling her that I didn’t want to move states; I wasn’t going to admit that actually, this neighbour seemed nice; well at least, not at the moment.

“Yeah, it’s okay” I said in reply. But I miss living in Dallas, Texas, I grew up there and that is where all my family still are including my sisters. Mom and I moved to Massachusetts for a new start, a clean slate. I hope it will be that, but I am not looking forward to a new school. I only have 1 year left but I am still not looking forward to it, I am kind of scared actually.

Mom put her hand on my shoulder, looked into my eyes and said “Dems, please give it a chance. This will be a new start for the both of us.” I looked back at her and said “I will try.”

We started unpacking the boxes from the car, when I noticed someone come out from one of the houses across the street and walk towards us. He smiled and waved. As he got closer he said to me, “Hi, my name is Joe, and I live just across the street. I just came over wondering if you needed any help.” I looked at him; he was so good looking.

I must have been staring because the next thing I know, he is waving his hand in front of my face saying “Hello, are you alright?” I snapped out of it and said “Yeah…..umm……yeah, I’m fine.”

“So, do you need some help?” He asked. “Oh, yeah, that would be great” I replied.

I saw the new neighbours pull into their driveway and I just thought that I would go and offer some help. But as I went over I saw the prettiest girl I have ever seen. I introduced myself and she just stared at me, this was funny. She had her mouth open and was motionless; I tried not to laugh so I just waved my hand in front of her face and said “Hello, are you alright?” She then snapped out of it and agreed to let me help.

I helped her take some the boxes into the house. While helping we got talking

“So, what’s your name?”

“Demi”

I really wanted to get to know her better so I asked “What grade are you in?”

 She said “I will be going into 11th”

At this I smiled and said “Me too, I go to Brookeridge High”

“Yeah, I’m starting there on Monday” she replied.

I finished helping to move the boxes from their car to the house, then I said goodbye to Demi and her mom and went back home.

After coming back from helping Demi, I couldn’t stop thinking about her; her big brown eyes and her beautiful lips. I could tell she wasn’t wearing much make-up, maybe not any; but she still looked beautiful to me. I can’t wait to see her again, she is going to same school; maybe we could be friends.

After Joe left, I went to my room and started unpacking the boxes and placing items around the room and putting my clothes in the closet. I couldn’t stop thinking about him, he is so good looking. When he first came over I thought he was older than me, so I was surprised to find out that he was in the same grade.

Then there was a knock on the door “Hey sweetie” mom said

“Hey mom” I replied, still putting clothes in the closet.

“Are you nearly unpacked?” she asked.

 “Yeah nearly, just need to finish putting my clothes in the closet.” I replied.

“It was nice of that guy to come over and help, wasn’t it?” She said.

“Yes it was; his name is Joe by the way.” I replied.

She then started to walk out the door and whilst saying “He seemed really nice. Anyway, I will leave you to finish up. I need to start unpacking!” She then left me to finish.

After I had finished, I was so tired that I just collapsed on my bed, and I was woken up by mom later in the evening, coming to get me for dinner. I was still tired, but I got up, had something to eat then went straight back to bed.
