That New Girl

chapter 1- how it all began

A year ago
I ran downstairs to answer the phone that has been ringing for a while now. When i answered the phone it appeared to be my mom's boss on the line and he wanted to speak to her very urgently."mom your boss is on the phone" i said over the loud noise that was coming from the kitchen. My mom was trying to make dinner but it didn't go well. She ran to the phone eager to hear what her boss had to say. When she got to the phone i went back to my room and started my homework for tomorrow. I got a message from my ex he was constantly trying to get in contact with me after the breakup but I kept ignoring him. He kept saying he was sorry for cheating on me with my best friend well now ex best friend , what I'm insecure and naive sometimes but I'm not stupid. It's not a mistake to cheat on someone. I heard a knock on my door and my mom popped hear head in. "Can I come in" she said, "sure" I said eager to hear what was so important enough that my mom came to my room. "Well you know my boss called me right" she said in a very soft but unsure voice and I nodded in approval for her to continue "well he gave me a promotion........." She said in a scared manner almost as if she was trying to read my expression then she continued "but it's in New York" her last two words low and very hard to understand but I did "what did you just say" I said in a shocked manner "it's in New York" she said once more . I left gazing into to space unsure of the news that was just given to me. I finally came out of my trance and then said "did you accept the promotion" I said in a low voice " I did and we have to leave 6 months from now they are preparing a home for us so all we have to do is move" she says in an almost reassuring manner " hey you don't have to tell me how you feel right away because I'm shocked also but you know I would only take this job because it's going to better us" she said placing some strands of my hair behind my ear. Then I said "it's ok mom I'm cool with it. I can use a fresh start with the breakup and all so....." I said in a happy sad manner "I'm so happy that you're on the same page as me" mom said giving me a big hug then she left my room. Pufff.... I exhaled blowing some of my bangs of my face. In times like this I would so like to call jazz and talk to her but we're not friends anymore so I have to resort to talking to Caz my dog. "Can my life get any more worse than this" I said throwing myself face first onto my very comfortable bed . Caz jumped on me and started to lick the life out of my cheeks which was his way to tell me that everything is going to be ok . New York here I come.
