The move 🤍


MOVING away from my hometown was something I really didn't want to do..but if it was something that'd make my mum happy I'd happily give it a go even if it meant leaving the place that I'll always call my home.

life was perfect in Shiganshina District! Their was always laughter and happiness from the people and the weather was perfect, but i guess it can't be helped no matter how much love i have for that place it won't stop my mum from leaving it.

"Yasmin baby look we are here!" The happy voice of my mum cheered out from the seat besides me her laugh filling the spacious car which i wish would automatically drive us back to Shiganshina.

Looking out the window i saw a completely different view, something I'm sure will take time to get used to but oh well...at least there's a pond i can put my fishes into. The thought suddenly reminded me of sushi- oops.

"Wow this is really big mum. Uhh will we need all this space ?" I scratched the back of my nape a cautious smile on my lips. I really didn't want to offend her in any way shape or form since she's quite emotional "No i think it'll be perfect for us!" She replied enthusiastically.

Grabbing her keys from the ignition she jumped out the car happily. i could only watch in disbelief
"Momma let's go eat first!!" My call for my mum seemed to fall upon deaf ears as she was just happily observing the flower pots outside the house.

Groaning i kicked open the squeaky door and lazily fell out to be met with soft grass cushioning my land, burrowing my head into the grass i just laid there ignoring the fact my mother was shouting at me to get up. the grass was just too comfortable it also smelled like men's cologne but who am i to question it huh?.

A hard slap to my back sent me standing up and glaring at my mother who looked flustered and embarrassed confusing me as to why. "OW THAT HURT-." Her hand slapping over my mouth muffled my angered shouts.

"Look behind you! Stupid girl!" She said to me while her manicured finger pointed behind me. Turning around the wind suddenly picked up blowing my hair behind my back including my fringe giving me a perfect view of a a highly flustered boy who was wearing a light green hoodie oddly looking exactly like the grass i laid on few minutes prior-

"WHAT!!!"

Connecting the pieces made a red hue cover my cheeks as i coughed violently my mum patting my back with pity. Looking up once more i saw the blondie rubbing the back of his head with a sheepish closed eye smile.

"Y-you're the new neighbours correct?"

His soft voice rang through my ears like a melody. Snapping out my flustered state I nodded "Yeah..uh sorry for laying on you- I thought you were the grass.....hehe" I laughed awkwardly trying to cover up the fact I wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it and cry forever!.

"It's no problem I guess it's the hoodie huh?" He joked a humouring laugh following after making me and my mum join. "I guess so- uh anyway my names Yasmin you?" I asked with a polite smile desperately trying to impress him so he could forget our embarrassing encounter.

"What a nice name- OH UH my- my names A-."

A sudden down pour of rain muffled his reply to which I couldn't hear through the heavy drops of rain "I should go but nice meeting you Yasmin!!"
He shouted loudly using his hands to cover his already drenched hair. "Okay bye-." I stopped realising i didn't get to hear his name so i settled for a wave goodbye before running into my car following my mother's lead.

Closing the door behind me I sighed frustratingly as my clothes now stuck to my body and my hair dripping all over the car seats, turning to my mum with a scowl she could only nervously fidget with her fingers.

"Yasmin baby I thought it'd be..nice to invite him around so you two would get to know each other! It wasn't all my idea his mum thought it would be a good idea too-." Her explanation bored me so i just turned around and watched the rain fall down the window . it leaving a trail of water.

A deep sigh could be heard from my mum but I didn't care right now, i love my mum I really do. I would do anything to see a smile be placed upon her gorgeous face but one thing I don't like about her is her unexpectedness, she does things without telling me and i just don't have time to prepare myself-

Who am i kidding...it's not about the boy situation in reality it's about moving away into this new city and house! I'm upset because i only got told 3 days before the move and her excuse? Well it was-

~Flashback~

"Baby i think this is a new start for us!" My mother said gripping onto my hand a pleading look in her eyes which just annoyed me, pushing myself out from her grip i glared daggers at her trembling figure "I HATE YOU!" I proceeded to run like my life depended on it down the streets ignoring the friends and family i grew up with calling for me.

They won't matter in just 3 days because I'll be leaving..leaving them. I'll be leaving Shiganshina.

~flashback ends~

"I'm going to the office tomorrow, and your school has already been sorted out so on Monday you'll be going to Attack high you'll like it baby I'm sure" she said a hint of hope in her voice which i know will be crushed because I'm not going to enjoy a school called Attack high! Like no offence but what is that.

Not giving her a reply i just grabbed my worn out backpack and opened the car door it making the familiar squeak, using my bag as an umbrella i ran past the gates and into the shelter of the house i impatiently waited for my mum to hurry over so she could unlock the door. The rain was my only source of entertainment.

My mothers figure could be seen running quickly her handbag used as shield from the rain for her, once reaching me she gave me a look to which I shrugged off I wasn't in the mood to talk with her right now. As the door opened my mouth hung agape in shock i was stood frozen on my front door step.

"Oh my titan"
