My parents small car follows a big moving truck onto the dirt driveway that leads to the run-down house. Moving away from my hometown wasn't hard for me personally because I wasn't popular but for my brothers it was hard. My brothers where quite popular back home but I wasn't, I was bullied and people avoided me like I was the plague. Oscar was my only friend but even he started to ignore me and talk bad about me behind my back.

"Pink Palace are you kidding me?" My older brother Maximilian says whilst staring out the window.

"I know right. Like why can't it be Grey Palace? Or something like that." My other older brother, Charles, said from the left side of me.

"Mum?" I say and look at my mum.

"Yes sweetie?" She asks and looks around at me.

"Do you know if Landon and his wife are coming over today?" At the mention of my oldest brother my mum smiles.

"Ummm... I'm not sure. Let me check." She types away on her phone and a few minutes later she looks up "He said Lola is sick so they're going to pop in later in the week when she's better."

I hum and look out the right window. The weather was awful, it was rainy and foggy, in my opinion I think it should be sunny because this is a happy occasion for me. My gaze instinctively moves to Max, he looks so upset. I reach for his hand and hold it tightly, he used to hold my hand when I was younger whenever I was scared or needed comfort, Max looked at me and smiled whilst squeezing my hand.

"Alright kiddos." My dad slaps his knees with his hands "Get out the car."

Me and my two brothers hop out the car. Max and Charlie each grab their own carry-on bags and race eachother inside, racing to see who will get what room. I'm not even going to attempt to race them, I'd probably still get stuck with the smaller room anyway. Instead of going inside I follow a trail that leads away from the Pink apartments. I hum and skip along the dirt trails, my wellies splashing in a puddle every so often. I stop and sit on a big rock whilst kicking water up with my feet.

Suddenly a cat appears beside me, causing me to jump up and make my tights wet.

"Ugh. Come on man." I wipe my legs in an attempt to dry them. The fabric started sticking to my legs, making me cringe and I shiver lightly. The black cat jumps down from the rock and just sits at my feet looking at me. I stare back.

"Not even gonna say hi to the poor cat?" A voice from behind me asks, I jump forward then spin around. The boy had tanned skin and curly hair.

"Jeez you can't sneak up on people like that." I say and sit back down on the big rock. The boy smirks and places his hands in his pockets.

"Sorry." He rocks back and fourth on his feet "You're the one who just moved into the Pink Palace."

"Sure am." I smile.

"My grandma doesn't rent that place out to people with kids usually." He approaches me and sits beside me "Especially after what happened to Coraline."

"What happened to her? I thought she just ran away or something." I lean back and look at him. He shakes his head.

"Nothing." We both go silent "I'm sorry I didn't even introduce myself. Wybie Lovat." He sticks his hand out and I shake it. "It's short for Wyborne. I'm 16 years old and I live with my grandma."

"Wyborne huh?" I ask and giggle, he shoots me a quick glare "Anyway. I'm Sasha Martin, 14 and I have 3 brothers."

"Do you have any hobbies?" He asks and before I could answer someone yelled Wybies name "Sorry. That's my Grandma, I'll see you around. Stay safe."
