The Fighter

Ch. 1 - The Move

Angels P.O.V.

This wasn't my first time moving I was being moved to another all girls house in New York. I wasn't scared or nervous because personally I couldn't care less. I would get my drivers license in another week then I would be able to ride my bike. I plugged my headphones into my iPod and intro by the XX started playing as I fell asleep.

"Angel we're here." Jackie said pulling up to a house. I got out of the car and walked to the front door with my suitcase and knocked on the door as Jackie pulled away.

"Hi you must be Angel. I'm Rose. Do you need a hand with your suitcase?" The lady looked like she was in her thirties.

"Yes please and would you mind showing me my room." She nodded and took me upstairs to the first door on the left.

"Victoria your new roommate Angel is here." I looked around the room it was pretty big with two sets of bunk beds, a TV, and four chester drawers. A little girl ran into the room she looked at me.

" Hi, I'm Victoria. You must be Angel. You're very pretty." She commented twirling her hair around her fingers looking at her feet.

"Thank you. So which bed is yours?" I asked as she pointed to the one covered in blue.

"You must really like the color blue." She nodded her head and ran off jumping on her bed. I took the one across from her.

"Victoria how many girls live here?" I asked as she sat up.

"Well there's Rose, Rachel, Alex, me, Zoey, and now there's you. So that makes..." She started counting on her fingers.

"That makes six." She walked over to my bed where I was sitting with my clothes laid out.

"Why do you have so many hoodies?" She asked looking at my biggest one.

"I get cold really easily. Why do you ask so many questions?" I lied easily as I walked out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen.

"Oh good. Angel I wanted to talk to you. Tomorrow you're going to school with Alex and Rachel. If that's alright with you?" She asked politely. I nodded my head.

"What are we having for dinner?" I asked looking around the kitchen.

"Well normally when there's someone new we have pizza. I was just about to call in. What's your favorite kind of pizza?" She asked dialing the number.

"That would be pepperoni." She nodded and I walked out.

"I'll be back in a little bit. I'm gonna go explore." I said walking out the door with my phone.

"Alright just be back in an hour for dinner." Rose called from the kitchen. I walked out of the gates and on to the sidewalk. I checked my phone 5 o'clock. So I have to be back by 6. Someone was running up ahead so I moved to the other side.

"Hi." They stopped running and walked next to me. I ignored the guy.

"You must be new here I'm Axel." He said putting his hands in his jeans. Who runs in jeans! I thought.

"I just moved in today. My name's Angel." I replied as I turned when I saw a park.

"That's a pretty name. You wanna play twenty questions Angel." He asked as I sat down in a swing pulling out my phone and check the time. I have thirty five minutes to get back.

"As much as I would love to. I have to get home." I explained getting up and walking back the way I came. He followed me.

"We can play while I walk you home." He suggested. Man this dude won't let me go. I kept walking.
