"Hurry up Ella!!! We have to go!!! We are already late!" My mom yelled from downstairs. I just ignored her, like I have been doing for the past two days.
Yes, you heard me right the night my mom told me the news, she just so happened to forget about the fact that we were leaving in two days! So I had no time to say goodbye to any of my friends other than Jenna.
My bestfriend is helping me pack today but we haven't talked much. After I told her yesterday she started bawling, and so did I. We just don't have much to say the news of me moving was just so...... unexpected.
"Hey Ella? Can u help me load the truck!" My mom yelled. I just ignored her ignored her. Again.
"I'll go help your mom." My friend gave me a small smile, but you could tell she was faking it. I nodded my head for approval, and with that she left.
I sat on floor looking at my empty room. Than I looked at my beside table. It had a picture of me, and Jenna when we were seven at the park. That was a great day! I picked up the picture, and a tear fell down my cheek. Ugh I don't know how I had any tears left, I have been crying these past two days. No
Joke."COME ON ELLA! It's time to go!" My mom said awfully annoyed. I grumbled profanity under my breath, and got up, grabbed my boxes, and went down the stairs holding the picture in my hand.
"Alright guys let's go!" My mom said. I loaded my boxes, and put the picture in my purse. I couldn't hold back anymore so I ran to Jenna, and bear hugged her sobbing.
"Call me everyday ok?" Jenna said. I nodded and said "everyday." In a whisper. We hugged one last time than I got into the car, and I waved goodbye, and layed my head on the window. Tears falling down my face. I hate my life. I slowly started drifting to sleep. I suddenly woke up with a start.
"Sorry guys we hit a bump" my dad apoligized, I just ignored him, and went back to sleep.
"WE ARE HERE." My idiot brother yelled in my ear. LOUDLY. I looks could kill he'd be dead. I scowled at him, and he smirked knowing he successfully annoyed the hell out of me. I jumped out of the car, and I looked up, and....... Damn. This house was HUGE! Like a freaking castle!? Like wtf?
"Damnnnnnnn this house is fucking huge!" Max said with excitement.
"Watch your language max!" My mom scolded. I laughed at him and smirked. He just scowled at me, and flipped me off.
"Hahahahaha loser" I said while laughing.
"Stop it you two." My dad said in a stern tone. I ignored him, and ran into the house. I felt like a princess walking gracefully into the enormous house. Just kidding I actually tried to open the door, and instead ran into it. Hard. Then of course my family laughed, and I fell on my butt. Nothing new there.
" shut up." I mumbled to them.
" let me open the door sweetie!" My mom said chuckling. I muttered a whatever under my breath.
My mom took out the keys and turned the lock. I almost fainted. Not. Even. Joking. If I were to describe this house huge, would be an understatement.
" I thought we were tight on money." I said in a mocking tone.
" we will have enough money to afford this house with your fathers promotion!" My mom said excitedly.
"Cool." I said blandly. I went up the long marble stairs, and chose my room. It was way bigger than my room before!
I flopped on the floor, and looked at the ceiling, and thought......New school. New kids. New house. Ew.I ended up falling asleep. When I woke up I felt a couch under me, and I remember falling asleep on my bedroom floor........immediately I jumped up and ended up falling on my butt. My heart was racing with fear not knowing where I was.
"How the hell did I get here?" I said quietly to myself but max responded anyway.
"You fell asleep on the floor in your room, so I picked you up, and moved you on the couch because you looked uncomfortable" he said with a shrug. Immediately my heart rate slowed down. My brother turned Mack to the video game he was playing, and I heard my parents making dinner.
"Hey Ella want to help with dinner?" My mom asked sweetly. I just gave her a flat look, and went to my room. I grabbed my phone, purse, and my headphones. I ran down the stairs, and out the door, quicker than my mom could say goodbye. I was greeted by the cool September air. It felt refreshing on my skin. I started to walk not knowing were I was going, all I new is that I needed air, and I needed it now.
California was buzzing with people trying to sell things, walking dogs, hitch hiking, singing, running and it was 9 at night!? Nine at freaking night.
I kept walking till the population of people died down. I decided to listen to my musis so, I put some headphones in ,with my phone, and put on shake it off by taylor swift. I started humming, and looking around.
I wasn't really paying attention when I ran into something.....hard.
"Damn! Stupid people!" I said and then looked up. Holy mother of Jesus. This stupid person was hot! He had brown hair, that even messy, looked amazing, and bluish green eyes, and some little freckles on his cheeks.
" holy abs" I said. The guy in front of me smirked, and his eyebrows raised, and he said "what?" With an amused smile.
"What." I said quickly after him avoiding eye contact.
"What's your name love" the stranger (that was hot as hell) said making my heart flutter when he said love.
"E-Ella." I said nervously stuttering. He seemed to find that funny because he chuckled. Rude.
"Nice to me you, E-Ella I'm Kathan." He said smirking. I rolled my eyes already seeing his true colors of being a douche and said "Bye."I turned away and started speed walking.
" wait!" Kathan said, and grabbed my arm. The fact that he stopped me made me smile a little. I quickly shook my head, clearing my thoughts, and ripped my arm out of his grasp ignoring the spark I felt from his touch.
"I'm kidding." He said with a small smile, and I wanted to talk but I knew I would embarrass my self if I did so I did what I had to do.
"I have to go" I lied. " bye." I said quickly
" bye!" He said with a bit of confusion in his tone, and what almost sounded like a hint of.......sadness in it. No he couldn't possibly want to waste his time talking to me. I quickly walked away, and when I got to my house I ran to my room, and screamed annoyance (for not staying with him), and happiness ( because he was really cute!) I then say on my bed that had already been unloaded from the truck, and sat there conflicted.
" what's got you so confused/annoying
today?" My brother said in a rude tone. I just ran up to the door, and slammed it in his face.
