Unpredictable [In Stereo] {slow updates}

Chapter 1 | The Beginning

Jamie's POV

Finding money was a sign of good luck right?

I looked around nervously as I threw the one dollar coin in the air once again that I had found on the ground earlier the this morning.

To pass time and create a bit of entertainment for myself I decided to flip the coin once more - if it landed heads I was going to have a good day. If it landed tails well that would result in me having bad luck.

I tossed the coin in the air for the last time and caught it in the palm of my hand to reveal my fate.

Tails.

"Great." I mumbled to myself, pulling the bag firmer that I was carrying over my shoulder. I was just being superstitious. A simple coin couldn't predict what kind of day I was going to have. It was a 50/50 chance that it could of landed on either heads or tails... But it had landed on tails.

I slipped the one dollar coin in the pocket of my uniform biting my bottom lip in frustration.

I needed to stop overacting. I was being ridiculous thinking that a small piece of copper could determine my luck. But maybe after reflecting on my whole day, it could of been the cause of all this...

The last place I expected to move to was to Sydney. It was complicated, but I'd accepted to move eventually once my dad and I had become a lot closer. It was for a work promotion once again. His two-year contract had finally expired in Geelong and he'd been called up for a new project in one of Australia's capital cities.

I was hoping it would be Melbourne so we wouldn't even have to move house and stay around the same area, but apparently Sydney had better 'business options' he'd mentioned, or something along the lines of that.

I wasn't really paying attention when he explained the whole situation to my family. The only thing I got out of it was that we were moving to Sydney, and there was nothing I could do to change his mind like I had the last time.

Admittedly, it was hard to say goodbye to all of my friends and the place that I had created so many memories, but I'd manage to overcome the barrier just like I had learned to get over him.

Literally, the last thing on my mind was Ethan. I knew he had moved to Sydney, but I had no clue whereabouts. It was a large city, with various suburbs so there was probably almost no chance that I would ever seem him again.

When he moved, we tried the whole long-distance relationship thing, but after a month I guess we'd separated paths, moved on and just simply evaporated from one another's life.

It had almost been more then a year since the last time I had actually communicated with him. It felt like every moment I had spent with him was just some distant dream, or my mind making up perfect scenarios that were just too good to be true.

I'd eventually learnt to accept the fact he was gone just like I was beginning to accept the fact that Geelong was no longer my home. I'm not gonna deny that it was hard at first, but I slowly and gradually got used to it.

And here I found myself at a new school, typical right?

It seemed that each new chapter of my life began at a new school, each new beginning.

Hey, but you can't expect the unexpected right? Or well that's what a very good friend once told me...

I stood at the school gates debating whether to actually go in or not. I could obviously ditch, but from previous experience I knew it caused nothing but a whole lot of trouble.
