Unexpected (An Ed Sheeran fanfic)

Chapter 1

"Could you please come and share your presentation Mia?" My teacher asked as I looked up to the front of the class.

"N-no! Umm, I think you should let, umm,  Ryan go today!" I managed to say. Mr. Daystrom shook his head and pointed to the ground next to him. I slowly stood up and walked up to the front of the room.

Before I could say a word, the phone rang on Mr. Daystrom's desk!

"Hello?" He said as he answered the phone. A short moment later, he turned to me and said,"You are excused from class now! Your mother is waiting for you outside!" He nodded a goodbye as I rushed to my seat and gathered my things.

I then ran down the hall to the front doors and swung them open. I was met by nothing but the leaves blowing across the smooth gray concrete. I looked along the line of cars until I found my mom in her old beat-up jeep.

I let out a sigh of relief and ran to her. "Hey mom!" I said after I opened the car door and sat inside. "Why are you here?"

"Well Mia, I got a call from work that they're relocating me again. All the way to Seattle!" She exclaimed as I stared at her in shock.

"I knew it was coming! And it's not like I have any friends! I'll welcome this move as a good thing!" I said and looked ahead, staring into nothingness. My mom smiled and hugged me from the side.

"I really am sorry! I though we could stay here in Connecticut for a long time!" She said and sighed.

"No! I hate it here!" I exclaimed. "Everyone's dull and the same!" My mom chuckled and started the car. I plugged my phone into the stereo and turned on Taylor Swift's RED.

"So! What's the date of the move?" I asked, anticipating it to be next month.

"Don't be too stressed, but it's this Sunday!" She said and did jazz hands. I fake smiled and did a thumbs up sign. It's not like I had unpacked anything from our last move from Australia!

We drove in silence, just listening to Taylor's voice as we passed the orange-leaved trees and cracked sidewalks. as we reached our small old house, the speakers cut-out on the stereo.

"Mom! You really need a new car!" I exclaimed. She shrugged and frowned. She had owned this car since I was 4 and hadn't even thought about selling it! She was in love I think!

"That's not an option." My mom said in all seriousness. I got out of the car and ran into the house. Charging up the creaky stairs, I got to my bedroom and sat on my bed and sighed.

I took out my phone and got on twitter. I looked through my timeline, noticing a tweet!

@Real_Liam_Payne: sometimes i just wanna freeze time and just take a moment to breathe

I smiled and nodded to myself, in agreement. I replied to him saying:

@MiaForeverBro: @Real_Liam_Payne I understand. if only we could sit in frozen time together! :)

As I sent it, I thought of how much I would love a reply. I mean, I'm not a "fangirl" or anything, but I love One Direction! I just hate the whole concept of loving someone for fame and fortune. Instead of for what's important!

I got off my bed and walked to the pile of boxes in front of my dresser. We moved so much, I barely had time to unpack and repack again between each relocation! So now, I just left my boxes untouched for a few months until we moved again. I got a new box out of the attic and walked back to my room.

I spent the next few hours packing the junk I had in my desk. Once I had it all packed, I went downstairs and to the kitchen.

“Hey mom! What’s for dinner?” I asked as I plopped down on a bar stool. My mom was standing at the stove stirring a liquid in a pot.

“Well, since I never asked you what you wanted, I just decided to make some macaroni and cheese!” She said. I nodded and looked down at my hands in my lap.

“Mom? Can you promise me something?” My mom looked at me and nodded. “If I like it in Seattle, promise me you won’t make us move! For at least a year!” I said.

“Oh of course honey!” She said. She walked to me and hugged me. "Even if it means quitting or losing my job!" She sighed. I gave her an innocent smile.

After we ate our Mac and Cheese, I went back upstairs to find my phone making a "beep" noise! I picked it up and looked at the screen.

@NiallersPrincessxx: @MiaForeverBro actually sounded like she thought Liam was going to reply to her. Loser! #ReasonsIHateDirectionators

I smirked at the screen and shook my head. Younger girls could be so immature! I replied to her with this:

@MiaForeverBro: @NiallersPrincessxx just because I have hope doesn't mean I'm a loser I find it rude and cruel to insult people you don't know btw #sorrynotsorry :)

I tweeted her and felt happy about my reply! I looked at the time on my phone and saw that it was 4:46pm already! Wow!

I got out more boxes that night and packed the rest of my stuff! And then I stuffed all of my clothes in a suitcase! After I finished, I laid down on my bed and sighed.

"Seattle will be different!" I told myself, as I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
