It’s gonna be Love
Chapter One: New Year’s Eve
& Alice’s POv &
“Drop that book and change if you still wanna come.” Mom said.
I sighed. Sure I wanted to come, but I also want to finish reading my book. And I know I won’t be able to read much on the New Year’s Eve party so I’m reading as much as I could right now.
I glanced up and Mom was waiting.
She’s already dressed.
We’ve just moved into this new neighbourhood, and I know Mom wants to get to know some people and have some friends... It’s normal, but we’ve been through this so many times. We move in, make some friends, after two semester or a year, we move out and cycle repeats.
I don’t really mind it, but I just become more and more like a shadow. Always in the back. Like, perhaps, a wall flower.
People said I’m pretty smart, but it never came in benefit since I always end up never really getting to join contests since I’m just a transferee.
I slid a piece of string in the page I was reading to serve as a bookmark and dropped my book. I walked to my room and imagined that I was in my old room.
Nothing really changed much, since I was the one to decorate and organize it. I don’t want to make my room so complicated. I wanted to think like we’ve never really move.
My closet got the same shade of pink, while I painted the walls with baby blue. A soft and warming color. A color my dad used to describe me when he was still here with us.
I changed my clothes and ran downstairs where mom was waiting.
& Justin's POV &
“NO!” I shouted and threw the clothes my Mom just handed me.
“Come on, sweetie.” Mom said calmly, “I know you want to come.”
I shook my head. “No, I don’t.”
She sighed and left. Her shoulders were already hunched for working so hard, yet I still disobey her.
Yes, I love my mom... It’s just that sometimes; I get too irritated at her.
I bent down in my knees and picked-up the clothes she just gave me. I felt awful and guilty upon how I acted to her earlier. That’s not how a gentleman should treat his mother.
Maybe I should come, it’s been a while since I went out with Mom, maybe I could make up to her.
I half jogged to the house and change quickly to catch up with her.
& Alice’s POV &
The whole crowd was pretty wild. My Mom and the other parent’s were on a separate room, while all teenagers get to wild-up and loosen up a bit in this room.
I wish I should have brought the book along with me, I was getting a little bored here since I know no one from here, and this is not my kind of party.
I sat down on an empty couch on one corner, and just my luck, there were stacks of books, magazines and brochures just right under the table next to it.
When I started flipping the magazine, people were starting to stare at me. Maybe they just think I’m such a bookworm and other stuff like that.
I accept it whole heartedly. I never really mind them though.
Then the whole crowd went quiet. I was surprised by it, I don't know why. Then wild up and again, like nothing happened.
I went back to reading. A few times I could hear my favorite songs playing, and I automatically hum them to myself.
An hour passed, things were getting a bit boring. And the energy was getting lower andlower by the minute. I glanced at my watch, 10 more minutes before New Year, and all of this could be over.
