Him

Chapter 1- Moving

Hi, I'm Sartina!

I'd like to have the moment to build my image, I'm 5'5. Whoever said small, I have my advantages and I'm not afraid to use them okay? I have ginger hair, please save the ginger jokes I've heard them all. And well I'm shy. That's really all for now. Oh! I have a mother, my dad died when I was younger, and I have no siblings... What happened to my dad you must be thinking? Well he had cancer and passed away 2 months ago. The reason for why we are moving. To be honest I think it'll be good for me, a fresh start. I can make new friends, and just build a different image of myself.

My morning has been crazy, all the stress is on us today. We had movers helping us, it could have been way worse. We're currently driving to the new house, I'm so nervous..

"Are you excited dear?" Mom asked
"Oh, um.. yes.. I mean... I'm nervous.. but yes.. I think" I stuttered. My mother observed me for a good minute, I can see she's upset for taking me to a new place.
"I'm sorry hun. It's for the best, a fresh start from well.. your dad passing and all." She said trying to keep her composure. She wasn't remotely at all ready to even mention dad, they knew each other for over 15 years.

We suddenly approached this massive White House, windows everywhere! Trees scattered all over the front, and a beautiful cobal pathway leading towards the door. The massive gold fence suddenly opened and we slowly drove inside and stopped in front of a white garage door.
"Mom, is this really where we're living?" I asked excitedly. "Yes" she replied how could we afford this? I think it has something to do with dad's money inheritance. I'm super happy don't get me wrong, but this is a lot to take in.
"Come on, let's go look around!" Mom said. We jumped out of the car and followed the cobblestone pathway, suddenly it led to the main entrance, a red door with a massive lion knock bell on the front.
"Here's the keys, you open it sweetheart." She said handing me the keys. I put the key through the massive gold lock, turned it and suddenly the door goes creek. We find ourselves in the main entrance, it was massive. We look up to see a massive chandler shimmering the hallway, and stairs going round leading to the second floor of the house. There was even a balcony to see the bottom floor of the house.
"What do you wanna see first?" Mom asked
"BEDROOM!" I yelled with excitement, I quickly ran upstairs to see 6 rooms against each other.
"Here, whatever door you open is your bedroom deal?" Mom said, I quickly run to the first door I see and open it.
"Oh..it's a bathroom.." I said disappointed. Mom laughed.
"Well looks like your living in-"
"No way! I'm picking another room!" I interrupted. I quickly ran to another room and opened it.
"Wow..." I said. "This is amazing, a whole built in wardrobe, and I could fit a queen size bed in here!"
"No way, you'll never leave your room, go help me unpack the car." Mom commanded.

3 hours later...
"Everything is pretty much unpacked mom, can I go explore" I asked. Mom looked at me with a concerned tired look. I could tell she wanted to colapse and sleep.
"Can we do it another time, you have school soon and you should really get some rest after today sweet. I understand it's a new place but you should take care of yourself as well." Mom replied. I nod at her and go upstairs to unpack my room. I put a frame up with pictures of my old best friends from where I lived before. Then I put my bed against the wall in the centre of the room. I filled the room with plants. It was finally seemingly feeling like home. I fall asleep on the window porch. And suddenly it's morning.
"Hun, you're gonna be late for your first day at school! Hurry up!." She yelled. A drum played in my heart. The first day of a new school, so many people to know, and many classes to settle in. I start breathing heavily. What's going to happen?
