CHAPTER THREE
BEING HANNAH
Sara and I finally get out of Arlets office and run to our rooms, holding hands and squealing with anticipation. I dash into my room and almost hit the bedside table as I quickly pack all my belongings. I've never been more happy. I'm just about to close my suitcase when all of the sudden, I freeze. Wait....
My plan. I totally forgot! How can I carry out a plan when I'll be busy making record labels and such? Wow, didn't think of that one did ya? I think to myself. I frown. oh well, I think, I'll figure something out there!
I quickly close my luggage and sprint down the hall to my new home.
Another day. Discovered, and owned. What a change.
----------------------------------------
One Day Later
Last night was perfect. Sara and I were treated to dinner by the man who came to pick us up who I later found out is called Mr.Meyer. He's no ordinary person either; he's kind to us and pitied us for not having a family... The best part for me though, is something I can't stop thinking about,
I'm going to have a family
And Sara will be my sister, sister!
Sister.
I turn to Sara who is looking out the window with a joyfully frantic expression. She's as excited as I am.
We keep driving and stop at a red light. "So girls," Mr. Meyer asks, "are you excited?" "YES!!!" We reply in unison. He chuckles as the light turns green and we begin to accelerate. We look at each other and smile. "I can't believe this, Hanna!" Sara exclaims. "Hannah Durmeyer, sister of Sara Vanderwall," she says as she pretends our names our on a huge sign in a display if lights. She grins at me and I smile back. This honestly couldn't be any better!
We finally arrive at a large home that looks like a million dollar mansion (I exaggerate) and we both get out of the car. As a butler grabs our bags, a boy about my age appears and holds the door for us. "Ooooh!" Sara squeals, "cute!" I laugh under my breath and suck it back in when I look up and notice the boy eying me. I quickly concentrate on my luggage and blush. What?!
We enter the house and did a long hallway with a maroon carpet like the red carpet at our first concert. (A girl can dream!) The butler escorts us down the hall and to a white door. He stops and uses a key to open it as he tells us this is our room now. We both squeal as he slowly opens the door.
We both gape in awe. The room consists of two king sized beds with beautiful fabric hanging from them. It almost looks as if the worlds best silk was spun into red drapes and placed perfectly on our beds. To the left is two large doors made of glass that lead to an outstandingly gorgeous white balcony to give us the best view of Hollywood there is. Through a door close to the balcony is a uber huge bathroom with two showers and bathtubs and two sinks by one another with lights around the mirrors that make me feel even more glamorous. I turn to Sara and notice she looks like she's about to faint. I loop my arm through hers and we look around a big closet for us. The butler tells us our luggage will be delivered soon and he hopes we enjoy our new room. As soon as he leaves, we pounce on the beds and jump all over the place like a kids with WAY too much candy.
Finally, we settle down and hear a knock at the door. I turn to Sara who eyes me as if to believe something more miraculous could happen now. I get up and swing open the door to find the tall, brown haired boy from outside holding our bags. "Hello," he says with a smile. "H-Hi," I stumble and recover with a winning smile. I an almost feel Sara telling me to be romantic or something. I extend a hand "I can take those," I say as I point to the bags. He seems dazed. "W-what? Oh," he says realizing I was pointing. "Of course," he says, trying to recover. He hands them to me and I go put them on the closet. When I come back, he's turning to leave. I look at Sara who mouths, "Go!" I obey and tell him to wait. He turns back towards me and smiles a warming smile. "I'm Hannah," I say as he nods his head to acknowledge me. "I'm Noah," he says with another welcoming smile. "And I'm Sara!" Sara interrupts. Noah and I both chuckle as he says hi and says its nice to meet her. I'm about to shut the door after he tells us dinner is soon, but he stops the door with his foot and quietly says, "oh welcome to Raven Manor, Hannah," and leaves.
Wow.
------------------------------------------
Sara's POV
I watch as Noah says something else to Hannah and then leaves. She turns to face me and I know something's up. "What did he say?!" I ask almost screaming. "Shhhhhhh!" Hannah hisses, "he just left! He can still hear you!" She warns. I smirk, "good!" She looks at me and sighs smiling and flopping onto her bet next to me. "So he's a hottie hmmmmm?" I say. She turns away trying to hide the fact that she's blushing. A lot.
I stop and realize something; Hannah likes him!!!!! I've never seen her like anyone!!!! Wow! I start to grin widely as she begins to turn back to me and I snicker. As Ms. Maynes, an old teacher of ours said when teaching us a type of irony, "I know something that you don't know!" in a sugary tone. I decide I don't want to bother her about it and ruin things, so I move to my own bed and put in my earphones and hit "play" on the iPod Hannah and I each got as a welcome present. I begin to hum to a familiar song, as does Hannah.
