~*CHAPTER 1*~
Sam's P.O.V
I walk into my form class and took a seat near the window. Last day," I thought. " then I can get out of this horrid school." I sighed and tapped my fingers on the wooden desk. I asked my mum if I could stay home and pack today, but instead I was yelled at for not doing it sooner, of course, not that I cared. My leg started to jump up and down in a swift motion. I knew I shouldn't have had Starbucks. I mentally scolded myself and got lost in thought. I didn't realize the rest of the class had taken their seats until the teacher came strolling in, late as always. While the teacher was blabbing about who knows what, I was thinking about where I'm moving.
I'm moving to a little town called Holmes Chapel in Cheshire. It was where I grew up, so I know about the place. It was also the place where the madness all happened. I moved when I was around 13, because that's when my mum and dad started pursuing their dreams of becoming authors. My mum doesn't have enough money to pay for our house anymore, so we're packing our bags and getting out of this place. We've moved around a bit ever since my dad left for some other woman, not that I care considering how heartless and terrible he is. No one knew what happened, but one day he just was gone. He left without saying goodbye or showing one bit of emotion, one second he was here then BAM. Off the face of the Earth. We haven't heard of him since.
The class bell rang signaling for us to leave. I started to speed walk to my next class but was blocked by something hard.
"Hey babe," He smirked at me.
I growled at the figure towering over me.
This is exactly what I wanted to avoid in the first place.
I tried my hardest to ignore him and go around him but he kept following my move.
"Awe, little Sammy can't get to class, how pathetic."
I shot daggers up his way. "Well it takes one to know one." This time I smirked and walked right past him. I could see out of the corner of my eye that his jaw was clenched. Perfect.
I was happily walking to my next class when I remembered it was maths. I groaned and trudged in dragging my feet along the way. Maths was my worst subject. I sat down and slumped in my seat.
Halfway through the class I started feeling something poking the back of my head. I turned around and saw Chad. Surprise, surprise, he's smirking. Note the sarcasm. I turned my head towards the teacher to make sure that he was looking, then I sent the middle finger to Chad. Luckily he stopped poking me after that.
At least he isn't as worse as the guy who ruined my life.

I came home from school exhausted and ready to just get away from the world. Right when I'm about to pass out on the bed my mum yells at me to pack my things. I reluctantly got out of bed and sighed. I looked around my room for one last time. My room was a soft pastel yellow and my duvets where a yellow floral to match the walls. The room was rather large and even though I was happy about moving out this still was my favorite room. One thing that could make it better was if it had a window seat. I changed into black yoga pants and a tank top and got to work. I started by packing my bathroom supplies and put some of them in my toiletry back. I then put the rest in the boxes.
I just finished packing when my mum yelled that the movers were here. I grabbed my iPhone and head phones then skipped downstairs. I see my mother talking to some guys in grey jumpsuits, knowing they're the movers. I lugged my suitcase to the car and dropped it in the car. I ran up to my room for the last time.I really hope I get an en-suite too.
"You ready sweetie?" My mom asked whilst rubbing circles on my back. I gave her a quick smile and nodded. She smiled sweetly and went over to tip the movers. I got in the car and started scrolling through Tumblr on my iPhone. I never saw my house yet, my mum wanted it to be a surprise. After a few minutes my mum hopped in the car and clicked her seat belt. "I think it's a lovely house, I'm sure you'll like it." She looked over to me and smiled. She then pulled out of the driveway of our now old house and we drove off. I turned up the music and drifted asleep listening to Ed Sheeran.

I awoke to the car being pulled into the new driveway. I was happy to see that it was a quaint little tutor on the outskirts of town.(A/N Here is the link of the house but I'm not sure exactly where it's located or if it's even located in Holmes Chapel http://info.kuperrealty.com/Portals/147848/images/tudorstyle.jpg )
"Well, here we are!" My mother stepped out of the car and took a deep breath of fresh air. I did the same. It was nice not having to smell the scent of gasoline and garbage all the time like in London. "It's nice to be back." My mum was definitely happy to be back. She has the brightest smile on her face ever since we got here. It will be nice for her to catch up with some old family friends. The movers then also pulled into the driveway and stopped the engine. I got out of the car and opened up the trunk. As I was pulling out my suitcase the workers were unloading the truck.
"Sam, go look upstairs I have a surprise for you." My mum said overly- excited. I laughed and made my way through our new home. "Not to shabby." I said out loud. The living room was a very good size with nice wood flooring and a fireplace. As you walk to the right the staircase to the second story of the house is right there. As you keep going right and pass under the arches, there is a den. In the back of the house the kitchen is fairly large. Right next to it is the dining room. There's a half bath down here in the den area. I walked around a bit and decided to go upstairs and see what my surprise was. As you walk upstairs there is a study right in front of the stairs. There was a guest bedroom to the right and the master bedroom. The door on the left was mine. As I opened it up, I could see the walls freshly painted the same pastel yellow color as my last bedroom. But what really got to me was ...... the window seat. I screamed happily and jumped right on it. I know what you're thinking, why the hell would anyone get so excited about a window seat?
Let's just say I'm not normal.
Also in the room were new duvets to put on my bed. Surrounding the window seat were built in bookcases. (A/N Sam's bedroom: http://cdn.decorpad.com/photos/2012/09/09/1380bec9bddb.jpeg ) I was overall impressed by my room. To the left was the door to my en-suite and my walk in closet. WOAH HOLD ON. I GET A WALK IN CLOSET? I smiled like an idiot and walked through it a million times. As I was walking through it my million and one time, my mum came in trying to contain her laughter. She had a genuine smile on her face.
"So do you like it?"
I ran up to her and gave her a bear hug.
"I LOOOVE it!" I responded overly filled with joy.
"Why don't we go out for dinner while the movers place everything in, hm?" I nodded my head and asked if we could go to Nandos. What? You can never go wrong with Nandos. She smiled and off we went to Nandos.
~*~
We got back around ten and the movers had everything in place. We thanked them and started to unpack the boxes. We finished around twelve when my mum told me to go to bed. I trudged on up the stairs, not wanting to go to school. By now, I'm pretty much use to being the new girl, even though I hate it. My mum and dad were authors and we always traveled around looking for inspiration. But like I said, once my dad left my mum didn't get enough income to still live on her dream as an author. Instead she is now a boring nurse. Thanks dad. I took off my makeup and did my usual night routine. As I get under my comfy duvets, I wonder what the day would bring me.
