Unlikely Love

    Boys make me gag. Ew
Especially, this one. Gag
Kill me now please... thanks

      I wake up in my new bed. In my new town. In my new city. In my new state. And in my new country. I'm originally from England but my parents and I decided to move here to the states. We now live in Richmond, Virginia.
I get up and walk to my closet. I look inside. I think hard to my self:
Cute and proper?, I think or Cool and edge-y
Cute and proper I decide as I put on my short lilac dress and white flower crown. I pulled on white flats and walked into my on-suite bathroom .
I looked in the mirror and made sure my short red hair looked okay.
I walked down stairs to the kitchen.
"Mum did my make-" I paused. No one was in the kitchen.
I found a note on the table.
Dearest Reyna,
Your father and I had to go to England for a very important matter.
We will be back in a few months!
One of the neighbors and her son will be watching over you.
The boy's name is Charlie Horan and he is a nice boy
Don't get in trouble!
-Mum
A few months?!? Who the heck is Charlie Horan?
I heard the door bell ring
I went and opened the door
"Hello?" I asked seeing a boy my age and what looked like his mother
"Hello!" The boy's mother said "I'm Mrs. Horan and this is my son Charlie!"
"Charlie Horan." I said blankly
"He will be staying with you!" Mrs. Horan announced excitedly like this was the best thing EVER.
"WHAT?!" I screeched
"Yup!" He laughed and walked in
"Well you two have fun on your first day of school!" Mrs. Horan said as she closed the door.
I looked back at Charlie but he was gone.
"Charlie?!" I called
"You have a nice room!" He called from upstairs
I bolted up the stairs and to my room where Mr. Horan was lying on my bed with his hands behind his head.
"Get out!" I screamed
"No"
"GET OUT!"
"I'm good"
"YOU'RE SO DEAD"
"Ok"
I growled and he got up
He came over and picked my up like a baby and began to walk out of my room.
"Put. Me. Down!" I demanded
"Nope" he said as he carried me down the stairs and into the living room.
He put me down on the couch and I immediately slapped him
"Ow!" He said rubbing his cheek
"Please!" He said "Can you PLEASE do me a favor?"
"What?" I asked
"Pretend to be my girlfriend for the year?" He asked doing a 'please' smile and pressing his hands together.
"No!" I said
"6 months!"
"No!"
"1 month?"
"No!"
"A day?"
"No!"
"I'll pay you 15 dollars and hour!"
"Why?" I asked aggravated
"If I get with the new, hot, British girl, I'll be so cool!" He said
"Did you say 'hot'?" I asked
"No...?" He ask-replied
I shook my head disapprovingly
I just had to be him...
Charlie Horan...
