My Neighbours Best Friend

Fresh start

Chapter 1:

' Everyone please secure your seat-belts and stay in your seats. We will be landing in Sydney Australia in approximately 10 minutes.'

I got no sleep the whole flight. My mum was snoring beside me the whole time. I never knew she snored. I guess I'll be learning a lot of things I didn't know about. We are finally in Australia. I've seen pretty much every movie on this airline and I've played my songs over and over again. Everyone around me is either watching something on the tv, looking out their windows, or reading. My mum is doing none of those. She is just staring off into space. Can this plane ride go any slower!

' we have arrived in Sydney Australia. Please fasten your seat-belts as we are landing. We hope you enjoyed your time with us, and we hope you will fly with us again soon. Enjoy your stay.'

A out 10 minutes later me and my mom are rushing to the conveyer belt where our bags should be. She didn't speak a word to me until she spotted our bags. " Those two are ours. Do you mind grabbing them? Ill go get a cart." She said as she walked over to the carts. I sighed and quickly jogged over to the bags before I lose sight of them. Mine doesn't feel that heavy because I didn't want to bring a lot of stuff. Especially since its a fresh start for me here. My moms bag on the other hand could crush a grown man. It feels like she packed a baby elephant in there. I slowly but surely walk over to the cart that my mom has and throw the bags onto it. My mom jumps. " Good god Rylee, be more careful with that! I have my laptop in there- know what lets just go. I don't want to yell." She says and begins walking away leaving me with the cart. " you little witch. " I say under my breath. " what was that? Is there something you would like to say?" Mom whips around with sarcasm in her voice. " no, I'm coming." I say and manage to get the cart moving. I swear moms can hear everything.

By the time I catch up to her shes already got a rental car, and my arms and legs feel like they're gonna fall off. I load out bags into the trunk and hop into the shotgun. Mom gets in the drivers seat shortly after and we are off to the place I'm about to call home. I listened to my music and my mom yelling at bad drivers on the road. We finally arrived. The house was bigger then our last one. It was gorgeous. I see a cute boy about my age kicking a football against the wall next door. He sees me and smiles then goes back to kicking the ball. He's pretty cute. He's just over 6'0 ft, fluffy chocolate brown hair, and these adorable dimples. His face seems so squishy. He's very well built too if I do say so myself. I snap out of my daze, and hop out of the car to help mom bring in the bags. And by help I mean bring in all the bags myself. Mom eagerly gets out of the car and heads to the front door. I sigh and walk over to the trunk. There are two main suit cases and two carry-ons. The smart thing to do would to take two stops. Two bags at a time. But being the stupid and lazy girl I am, I decide to take all 4 bags at once.

I carefully take out my moms. If I didn't she would have a fit. I throw my carry-on over my should and my moms over my other. I put one suitcase in one hand and one in the other. The weight feels so uneven. I begin taking a couple steps. I'm very off balance and feel like I might drop my moms bag. I take a few more steps and I can feel my grip loosening on the bag. I begin to panic. I can't put it down or else ill drop everything else. I take another few steps and I feel the bag slip from my grip but I see a pair of a couple strong hands catch the bag. I look up to see the neighbour boy. He has chocolate brown eyes too. " you look like you could use some help." He said with a small laugh. He has a thick accent.

" u..u yeah that would be great thanks." You spit out. You can feel your face reddening. " let me take this and you take the rest?" He says but before I can answer, he's effortlessly carrying my moms bag and my bag up to the front door. I smile to myself and follow. He places the suit cases right in front of the front door. " thank you so much, you didn't have to do that." You say moving a piece of hair from your face. " anytime love. Maybe we could hangout sometime? I could show you around the place considering were neighbours. Help you make new friends." He says with a silly grin on his face. " yeah that sounds great, thank you."
You say smiling and looking at the ground.

" my name is Calum by the way." The boy says holding his hand out. You look up and grab it hesitantly. You smile at him and he does the same back. " I'm Rylee."

Sorry I took so long to update. School and sports can be very time consuming. I hope you all had a nice valentines day<3
