Zera
I hate it when my mom has to travel for her job! One year 4 schools 5 houses and still no friends, I'm always the freaky Alternative new girl in school with deep green hair pixie cut hair,emerald green eyes, average height, Plump figure and tanned skin that i hate so much. Im always alone at the lunch table, always the quiet one, always writing in my diary and now we are moving to Wildwood New Jersey great....I guess. My mom is pulling up to the new "Dream House" as we speak....here we go....its me my mom and my older brother, Andrew, he's 20 just two years older than I am. My name is Z short for Zera and I'm 18. I'm from La Turbie in Paris,France and my birthday is in 19 days and counting and as of tomorrow, I'll be attending Wildwood High School but for today all my mom is worried about is moving in the beds and dressers and all the other crap....the only good thing about our moving is that there's a beach 10 minutes from where we live now
" Mom I'm gonna go for a walk "
My mom shoots me a look like I have a rat-sized zit on my face
" Wait why don't you want to see your new room?" to be perfectly honest I could care less about that damn room
" Of course I do but I think I should familiarize myself with the neighborhood just in case I need to walk anywhere"
Which was a complete lie, I just need some way to get away from this location before I explode! Andrew decides to help me out a bit
" Its okay mom ill walk with her just to be safe okay"
The Firm look on my moms face relaxes a bit
" okay fine but when I call you,you two come Straight home okay!"
"okay mom"
We both hop out the car and start heading toward the direction of the beach and when we turn the corner Andrew stops me
" What is it Andrew?" he looks worried
" I don't trust this new place."
" Andrew you say that every time we move "
"yeah but I have a bad feeling about this place!"
I snicker at his constant stages of paranoia
" its not funny okay I don't trust you on your own around here when ever you leave out the house I leave with you okay!"
Ugh I hate it when he gets all guard dog on me
"Andrew"
" Zera when ever you leave I want you to tell me okay"
its actually kinda adorable i reluctantly agree
"fine"
after that we continue to walk until we arrive at At the beach all we see are spunky skinny half naked teenagers playing volleyball and drinking beer. I almost instantly puke don't people do anything better than sit around half naked drinking beer me and Andrew start walking to find a comfortable spot to sit near the water and relax. "Z" his deep voice makes me jolt
yea Andrew?"
"I want you to promise me that we can come here whenever we feel lost,confused or frustrated okay"
i grin a little too much and hug him " okay big brother"
and after that we just sit there watching the cool soothing waves then the phone rings " hello?"
"Andrew time to come home okay"
"okay" we both get up and start walking home . We Walk in the house "Andrew I'm gonna head to bed I'm tired okay"
"okay ill wake you up we must be at school by 10:00 okay "
" okay"
so I go upstairs and drift into the most blissful sleep. The next morning I'm awaken by Andrew’s annoying voice
“RISE AND SHINE!”
“go….away….” i say in a groggy sleepy voice
“Oh come on! its the first day of your new school aren’t you excited?”
“I'm not going to justify that with an answer,get out ill be down soon”
i throw a pillow at him and he walks out. I do my daily boring routine of shower, getting dressed and dragging myself downstairs an eating.
“Good morning Darling” mom says setting down a plate
“Morning” i yawn
i sit down at the kitchen island and eat slowly
“Zera be excited its your first day of 12 grade!”
“yaay….” i say in a sarcastic tone
she frowns and i finish my food and grab my backpack and Andrew walks out to the car “Look Zera i know you basically hate people and really don’t wanna go but look on the bright side its only one year try and make one friend” he’s right i just need to suck it up for one year then I'm free. I nod and he pulls off i start daydreaming of me and Andrew as children. The ride to school was a blur
“Thanks Andrew” i step out the car and wave to him as i walk to hell, i mean school.
