What happens when you move

What happens when you move (Chapter 10)

Chapter 10: Family

            As we walked up to the front door I actually took a chance to look at his house. It wasn’t a mansion but it was pretty big. The front door was a huge wood double door. It reminded me of Emily’s house, which is understandable since Chace and Emily live in the same neighborhood.

            Chace opened the front door and Lauren ran inside. I walked in after Emily and got caught up in the sight of the front entrance. This was like my dream entrance to my dream house. When you first walked into the house there were stairs on both sides and they went up and connected and then there were a couple stairs that you had to go up and then you were on the second floor.

            Zack saw me looking in awe and laughed at me. “You know you can take a picture. It will last longer.”

            “Zackary! Don’t be rude.” I heard a woman say.

            “Sorry Mom.” Zack said back to the woman who I now know is his mom. “Mom this is my girlfriend Courtney.”

            “Oh it’s so nice to finally meet you. Zack hasn’t shut up about you.” She laughed and gave me hug.

            “Nice to meet you too Mrs. Colton.” I said while hugging her back.

            “Oh please sweetie call me Bell.” She said. “Ok boys your cousins are upstairs in the game room and everybody else is either in the basement or in the kitchen.”

            “Ok Mom we’ll be in the kitchen in a minute I’m just going to introduce Courtney to everyone upstairs.” Zack replied while dragging me up the stairs. With Emily and Chace following. Lauren had already run up the stairs when we first walked in.

            “I’m nervous.” I told Zack and then got a laugh from Chace. “Shut up Chace.”

            “You have nothing to worry about with my cousins they love everybody.” He said trying to calm me down. “You really only have to worry about my aunt’s and uncle’s downstairs.”

            “Oh yeah that just makes everything better Zack. Wow your stupid.” Emily said from behind us.

            We were walking down the hallway to I’m assuming the game room. When we got to the door I took a deep breath before we walked in.

            The game room was packed with kids from the age of three, Lauren, to by the looks of it maybe twenty. I can’t guess ages very well but it looked like the oldest was maybe twenty or twenty one.

            “Hey guys.” Zack yelled at everyone. “I just want to introduce Courtney before we face the wrath of the aunt’s and uncle’s.” he laughed.

            “Hi.” I said to everyone. They all had stopped what ever they were doing and were now staring.

            “Wow you actually have a girlfriend Zack. And you brought her home to meet everyone. She must be special.” One of his guy cousins said while walking up to us. He had long black hair and was really skinny. He looked like he needed to eat.

            “Shut up David.” Zack replied and then turned around and pulled me back out to the hallway. “Sorry. You have to beware of David he can be mean.”

            I just nodded and let him lead the way downstairs and into the kitchen. When we walked in everyone went silent. My cheeks automatically went red because I was nervous and I hated being the center of attention.
