The train arrived at the station as the smell of gasoline filled the air, I grabbed my small handbag and stood up. I was finally relived that the 6 hour train ride was over, I walked off the train to see my my step mom Sheila greeting me. My mother had died last year so my father and I moved from California to Organ for a new beginning. My father met Sheila about 6 months ago and the were eager to move on with the relationship so my father proposed to Sheila and the got married two weeks ago. I walked over to Sheila with my luggage and gave her a hug. We walked out of the station to Sheila's white Toyota. I put my luggage in the far back and hopped in the passenger seat. As Sheila plopped in the car her blond golden curls bounced, Sheila began a conversation.
"Are you exited to see the new house?" Sheila said. I looked at her with a big smile and said, "Yes, I'm exited to seen my new room." After that there was no more talking. We pulled up to a large house with big windows. The paint on the house was chipping, it was grey, but still a nice house. We parked next to my dad's black truck that was next to a large tree. Sheila and I both go my out of the car and grabbed my luggage. We carried it inside and up to my room. My room had white walls with old beige carpet. There was a small bed, a wooden dresser with pictures of my family and a tv on in, and a large mirror.
A small wiener dog trotted into my room and I kneeled down to pet it. My dad walked in to my room and said, "Hey sweetie, this is Buster." Buster was an older dog with brown and grey fur, I stood up and gave my dad a big hug. I said, "well this place is a fixer upper." My dad laughed and walked out of the room, I began to unpack my stuff. I walked over to the small closet and began to put my clothes away. Sheila then walked into my room and sat on my bed she said, "What do you think?" I said, "It's nice, but a fixer upper." "Well dinner will be done in 10 kminutes," Sheila said.
She walked out of my room as I received a text, I walked over to my phone to see a text from my friend Ashlee that said, "Is it boring?" I responded bye saying, "Yeah." Sheila then called for dinner, I niswalked downstairs and sat at the table next to my 7 year old sister. We were eating spaghetti and meat balls for dinner. My 20 year old step brother Josh was sitting to my right, Sheila was sitting across from me ,and my dad was sitting next to Sheila. It was a quiet dinner, not much talking. I had finished my dinner and I had gotten up to put my plate into the sink. I walked into the kitchen and turned the sink water on. I looked out the window to see darkness and moon light.
I saw a man out side the house, he was wearing a beaten up suit, and he had black hair. I stepped back and called my dad into the kitchen. My dad walked into the kitchen and I pointed at the man and said, "dad who is that?" I don't know but I'm gonna find out." My dad popped open the window and hollered, " Hey buddy what are you doing, do you mind, this is private property." He didn't budge and my dad had enough, he walked through the kitchen back door and bye the time he got out there he was gone. My dad walked back into the kitchen and stood there with a blank face.
