I sigh as I look out the car window to my new house. I can't believe my parents moved my little brother and I all the way to Canada for a "fresh start". I don't get it. why the hell did we need a fresh start? we had everything! sure dad just lost his job, but there are other jobs in Michigan. I had friends there, ones a grew up with, and now I have to start all over again.
"are you coming, honey?" I heard my mom ask me as she got out of the car.
"yeah, give me a second." I answer as I unplug my phone from the outlet and put it in my sweater pocket. I stepped out and took a deep breath of fresh air, looking around to get used to my surroundings. My little brother was running around the yard playing with his toy airplane while making buzzing sounds like it was real.
"y/n! come help us with some boxes!" my dad shouted from the moving truck that had just pulled into the drive way. I started walking towards the truck when I noticed a boy about my age walking with a girl a couple years younger, I'm guessing it's his sister. damn he's cute I thought, then I realized my mom was glaring at me, when I looked over at her she mouthed 'now'. We haven't been here 5 minutes and they're already yelling at me to do stuff.
"I'm coming, I'm coming" I said to reassure her.
"here, take this bag to the front step, please." my mom said while handing me a bag. I started walking towards the house when I tripped. I closed my eyes waiting for the impact when suddenly strong arms wrapped around my small body.
"hey, you okay?" I heard a calming voice ask. When I opened my eyes they met the most beautiful brown eyes I'd ever seen. it was the boy I saw a couple minutes ago.
"Y-yeah I'm okay... thank you." I stuttered and he smiled.
"that's good. I'm Shawn" he said letting go of me and putting his hand out for me to shake "I live next door with my parents and sister" he continued gesturing to the house next to us. I smiled.
"nice to meet you Shawn. I'm y/n. I just moved from Michigan with my parents and little brother." I said grabbing his hand and shaking it.
" nice to meet you too y/n. would you like some help with boxes and stuff? I have nothing planned for today and would love to get to know you" Shawn asked smiling.
"I would love that" I answered smiling back.
