A new leaf

4.Meeting my future family

Because we live in London and Paul lives in Cornwall and it's a 4 hour drive to Cornwall we had to leave extra early to make sure we'd get there on time. Well that's what mum says. My mum is a road rally driver. She always speeds down the road and doesn't have a care if she gets caught by the police. Mum seems happier than ever to be driving to Paul, Paul seems to make her happy and that's all that really matter at the moment well to me.

I must have fallen asleep because by the time I was aware of the surroundings around me they were all fields. Amazing green fields that were bursting with colour. That and sand, rock and the sea.... oh the see it's so beautiful.... I wish I lived by the sea all of a sudden.

Mum must of guessed that I was awake because she started talking to me. Seriously, how long has this women known me for, I hate being talked to when I wake up first thing but since I'm feeling nice today I'll start talking back to her.

"Wait 'til you see Paul's house it's gorgeous! The rest of this place is amazing too. The green the blue..."

"Mum you're rambling on and on so please take deep breaths and calm down." I say.

"Your right".

An awkward silence followed that short conversation. Luckily Paul doesn't live to far out from the towns centre. Before we knew it mum was pulling into a 3 story house, three metres from the beach(literally), a pool in the back garden and a trampoline. Mum again must have seen me and gently closed my mouth because I felt like it hit to bottom of a sea bed with astonishment.

Standing at the front door were the three prettiest girls I have ever seen! Two had dark brown hair. One of the girls hair's was golden like the sun, her dark blue eyes were the thing that stood out to me the most of he whole body. One of the girls with brown hair started walking towards us. I could see that her hair was tightly pinned back with plaits. As my quick reflexes kicked in I opened the door and put my hand out to greet her. My guess was that she was the oldest.

"Hey," she said,"I'm Safanit. Welcome to our house. The tall one over there that's Camilla and the one with the blonde hair, yeah she's Chiara" I was starting to seem all happy inside like I was really apart of a family until. Camilla stormed off and I heard the door slam but because the driveway was so long I couldn't see what she was doing. Chiara came up to us and said" Don't take it personally she's always like that, she has just started her teenage years, I am Chiara by the way. What's your name?"

"I'm Zoe, its nice to meet you. Do you guys have a toilet I could really use one right now" I asked quite embarrassed.

"Sure right this way" Chiara and Safanit showed me where to go and I went with them gladly.......

I hadn't even realised that I had left mum standing in the driveway because I was to involved with my business. When I looked back to glance at my mum to she if she was ok, I found that she had her lips pressed agaiNST Paul's. As if reading my mind Chiara said"I think she's got it covered"
