Chapter 1- The Move
Aria's POV
Life changed for me the day my mom announced we were moving. It didn't sink in until we were packing our things into the truck. My mind finally realizes I'm leaving my home , my high school, my friends, I'm leaving everything.... I walk back into the house to my used to be bedroom.
"Well this is it." I sigh as I take one last glance at what used to be my safe haven.
I grab my journal and climb into the third row of seats in the truck. My mom gets into the truck first
"Sweetie It's going to be great once you get used to our new home."
There's no point in holding a grudge I think to myself as I look in the opposite direction.
"Sure mom whatever you say." I say stretching my small frame out on the seat. She sighs and faces forward as my father gets in.
"Okay everything is packed and ready to go."
"Great let's go." Mom says after giving dad a quick kiss. I gag and push my earphones in. Life is definitely going to suck now I say under my breath as we pull out of the garage.
My name is Aria Tylers and I'm 15 1/2 years old. I'm the daughter of Aaron and Bernice Tylers. I consider myself a loner but no matter what I can't stick to it I guess I'm just likable. I'm small, like super petite and have been since as long as I can remember. I'm very shy unless I want to know you which is very rare. I have a temper so I wouldn't tease me if I were you. I despise the color pink I'm more of a red and blue kinda girl. I love to write, writing is my life. I'm not used to a lot of attention because I'm nothing special. I have shoulder length sandy brown hair, I have dark mocha skin and brown eyes. I'm pretty smart I guess honors classes since 5th grade probably before that to but what does it matter. I could say I'm decent looking not the prettiest girl in the book but who's looking. I'm a total book worm I've enjoyed reading since I first learned how so now It's a default I guess. Most of all I hate change. But like I said earlier nothing special.
I wake up as we pull up to a rest stop on the side of the road. I get out and walk to the store as mom pays for the gas. I grab a few chocolate bars and a drink and hand them to the guy behind the counter.
"Why so glum?" he asks with a thick British accent.
"You do not want to know." I say pulling money from my back pocket.
"That'll be 4.96." he says handing me my bag. I hand him a five dollar bill and take my bag and head towards the exit.
"You know..." he says stopping me at the door.
"You should smile more I'm sure it's beautiful."
"Thanks" I say with a brief smile before exiting and getting back into the truck.
"What took you so long" "Started a conversation with someone." I say pulling out one of my candy bars.
"We only have about 30 more minutes until we get there" mom says looking up from her phone.
"How about a sing along." Dad says turning on the radio.
"Oh no" say as I hurriedly push my earphones back in and turn my music up full blast.
"This is going to be a long 30 minutes."
After 30 agonizing minutes of two 38 year olds trying to sing along to Fancy we drive into a city with lights every where being that it's 12 o clock at night everything is illuminated by light.
Mom smiles as she looks at me through the mirror, "Do you like it," she asks taking a left at a light.
"Sure mom it's fine." I say still looking out of the window. We continue to drive away from the lights and loud scenery for about 5 minutes before we take another left. On this street there are a few huge houses on the street. We pull up in the drive way of the 2nd house and mom and dad get out and grab a few bags and head towards the front door. As I climb out of the backseat I grab a few of my things and follow dad into the house.
"Welcome to our new home." mom screams as I start to walk towards the stairs.
I give a dry cool as I march up the stairs to choose my room. I walk to the last one on the hallway to the right.
As I enter I immediately notice the 4 feet lift on the left side connecting my bathroom and closet I guess as I notice the 2 doors. The walls are pale blue with cream stencil all around the edges. There's a plasma screen Tv across from my bed. There are two glass doors on the right connecting to a balcony over the backyard which has a pool and a garden with fountains. In my mind I'm thinking where the hell did my parents get money for this. We used to live in a plain one story house with 3 bedrooms since my older brother Kaiden went to college. I quickly pull out my phone and text Kaiden that we've made it to the house. I quickly start unpacking my things and putting them in the dresser and chests. I finish unpacking my clothes around 2 while hanging the remainder of them in the closet. I pull out my favorite comforter and sheets and quickly make up my bed. Exhausted from what I just accomplished and the long trip here I climb onto my bed and let the sleep engulf me.Hope You enjoyed it.....
