The red eye

Chapter 5

It was a cloudy morning in Florida the day we left. I never got a hold of my friends so when they came to my house to walk to school with me they just gave me a look and walked away. I saw Ben when I was getting in the car. He came over to me and I just looked at him. He hugged me goodbye. "I'll miss you Christen. I love you and I will always love you" he told me with petty in his eyes. I just looked at him. I couldn't say anything to tell him and then Seth came from behind me and kissed me. I turn around and push Seth away. "I'm trying to talk to my friend Seth" I said. I turn back around and Ben was already running away from me. "Ben, Ben" I called. I never got to tell him the secret I was holding in until the right time. I turned around and punched Seth in the face. "You jerk. I was talking to my friend and you made him go away. I hate you Seth now just leave me alone" I cried out and jumped in the car. I locked it so he wouldn't be able to get in. I was in the other truck because we didn't have enough room in the car. When we were leaving I saw Ben walking by himself. I called out for him and he looked at me. He just looked at the ground and I kept on looking having my hand on the window trying to reach for him. It was very wired driving to California for 5 days. It was tourture. Every night we went to a hotel and we had to go in the smoke room which was distusting. I couldn't take it so I slept outside on the Terrence. So on the 5th day we were in this huge neighborhood with big houses. I was thinking oh my gosh, we are going to be staying in mansions. But we stopped in front of this boring house with on two floors. We were right beside two mansions. When we got out of the car I saw two twins staring at me the whole time. When we got inside I saw that it was a good size. My dad said I would be sleeping in the basement. I was going back outside so I can find my quite space. I got outside and I saw a teenage boy in the other mansion staring at me. Then he quickly went away. I just thought it was a figment in my mind. I went to the back and saw that there was a beach there. I quickly ran to it. Felling like a child running from there imaginary friend. I looked and looked for a place and finally found one. It was in a cave but I can deal with that. I was thinking to myself. I can put some lights on the walls, have paintings here and there, put a chair with some throw pillows, a rug, and some curtains in the middle so if I wanted to get some sleep I can sleep here. I walked out feeling really good. When I saw that boy again. He was on the beach staring at me. "Hey, I'm new here. What's your name"? He just gave me a look. "Welcome to the neighbor hood. Now can you leave me alone little girl". "Excuse me. I'm not a little girl to you. I'm a 16 year old. I was just trying to be nice to you". "Well you can stop now. I'm not a nice person". "I just wanted to make friends". "You should look somewhere else girly". Then he just ran back to his house. "Why does everyone hate me"! I walked to my house with a bad attitude. When I walked on everyone was watching a movie, laughing like clowns. "Hey sweetie. Do you want to sit with me, your dad and your brother"? "Sure but where is sis"? "She went to her friends house". "Ok". We fell asleep on the couch and in the morning was my first day of my new school. Claire walked us to school that day and she kissed all of us in the cheek for good luck. I really didn't like it. I went to the principle and she seemed to nice for me. "Welcome to Pacific high. I'm sure you will get the hang of things in a few weeks". I was looking for my locker. I had to memorize and new code again. Plus get my new schedule memorized with the right classes. I went to my locker and found the boy standing right there staring at me. I walked up to him and said. "Hi, I'm Christen wells and I'm your locker buddie".
