New Town. New People?

"Why do we have to move? There is nothing wrong with this town!" I shouted slightly, raising my arms up into the air as I stared at my parents.

"Honey, your father and I just can't afford this house, the people are asking too much money for rent."

"Why can't you just get better jobs?!"

My dad stepped forward, looking me straight in the eyes, "We are moving whether you like it or not. This is not your decision to stay."

I scoffed, "Whatever. Im gonna go to my room."

"While you're at it, start packing up some of your things," I hear my mother shout as I climbed up the stairs to my bedroom.

"While you're at it, start packing up some of your things," I mocked her as I scrunched my nose up. I went through my room searching for things that I won't need for a while and set them aside until I could get some boxes for them. I decided to get my phone out and call my best friend, Abby, and tell her that I'm going to be moving. I clicked on her contact and pressed the call button.

"Hey, what's up girl?" she asked as she spoke into the phone

"Well... you're gonna hate this as much as I do but, i'm moving."

"YOU'RE WHAT?!" She shouts into the phone and I pull my phone away from my ear. 

"I'm moving..."

"What? Why?"

"Well I guess--," I hear my name being called from downstairs so I look at my phone to end the call and see that the call has already been ended.  I walk downstairs to see Abby in my kitchen.  Oh, did I forget to mention that she lives next door? She grabs my hand and begins walking, "Where are we going?" I ask as she drags me into her car.

"The mall. I wanna spend some time with my bestie before she leaves," She smiles at me as she starts the car and drives to the mall.

Once we got to the mall, we went to the food court and had some pizza. After we finished eating our food we went to Hot Topic to get some Harry Potter things. As soon as I got into the store I rushed to the usual spot for the Harry Potter stuff, leaving Abby to wonder around the store. I raised my eyebrow and twirled around to meet with one of the workers. I looked at his tag and it read 'Calum'. "Um hi, where is the Harry Potter merchandise?" I asked as I played with my deathly hallows necklace.

"Well, we relocated to the other side of the store so we could make room over here for the new Star Wars merchandise," He said pointing to where the Harry Potter items were. I nodded and gave a small smile.

"Thank you,"

"Oh, by the way, if you need anything else, i'm--"

"Calum" I giggled as I interrupted him, pointing to his name tag.

"Oh, right," he laughed at himself and shook his head, "And you are?"

"My names Laura," I nodded

"It's very nice to meet you Laura. We should talk sometime. Outside of my work, obviously," He chuckled softly and I held my phone out so he could type in his number. He typed in his number and put his contact name as 'Cal' with a heart eye emoji. I smiled, took my phone back, and walked off to the Harry Potter merchandise.

I walk through the halls of my new school, everyone staring at me as I enter the class room. I sit down in the only open seat, next to some girl. "Class, we have a new student today. Her name is Laura. Laura, could you please stand up and introduce yourself to the class?"

I stood up shyly and stuffed my hands into my pockets. "Um... I....well, I like to play b-basketball and I like Harry P-Potter ," I nervously say and look around the classroom. They all laugh at me for my stuttering and I look down and sit in my seat.

"Beeeeeeep," says the girl next to me

"huh?"

"WAKE UP," yells every single person in the classroom.

I'm woken up by my alarm I had set on my phone. I groan and rub my eyes. Today is moving day and tomorrow is my first day at my new school. Totally not nervous.

I walk downstairs to my parents gathering up all boxes to put them all on the moving tuck once it gets here. "Honey, can you bring your boxes from your room in here? And after that, try to take all your drawers out of your dresser so it's easier to move," my mom asked me as she carried a box to the front door. I nodded and went upstairs to my bedroom. I only had a few boxes so it wasn't going to take that long.

I brought down my boxes and took apart my dresser. I huffed as I hopped onto the couch. I can't deny it, when I went to my new house to see what inside of it, it was pretty cool. At least its not that far from here.

Soon the moving truck got to our house and I helped my parents load it with the boxes and other items.

As we got to our new house I noticed a few boys outside next door playing basketball. I got out of the truck and grabbed a box from the back. "Laura?" I hear a familiar voice shouting from behind me. I turn around and I see him with his other friends walk towards us. "Laura, hey! these are my friends!"
