Chapter One.
(The beginning)
"Aerilyn? Aerilyn!" I was snapped out of my thoughts by Mr. Glass. He stood in front of me, waiting expectantly.
"Um..What was the question?"
Mr. Glass less then happy repeating himself, said
"If you were to go anywhere in the world where would that be?".
I had no idea where I would go and even less idea how this had to do with English. But I had to think fast, so I said the first thing that came to mind.
"Egypt, Because of the historic significant that is there"
I sounded confident, I sounded like a student who always wanted to be picked. I mentally winced.
I didn't want to be known as that, I didn't want to be known for anything.
"And that will be your assignment for today!" Mr. Glass said.
"What writing about Egypt?" said I voice behind me. I didn't recognize it, well I shouldn't really recognize a lot of things. Since I had just moved from my peaceful, euphoria of my world to Blaine, Washington.
"No, no you will each write about a place in the world you want to visit and why, now I want it to be at least 200 words. I will be checking first thing tomorrow
if it is done, now get to work"
I pulled a piece of paper from my binder. I wrote down my name and date down in the right hand corner of the page, I didn't actually now if they did this in the
states but since I brought a lot of things with me from Vancouver. They wouldn't mind if I did this.
My mind drifted off threw all my memories in my real home, I wondered what everyone was doing..
Aleasha was probably doing something dramatic, or just crying over me leaving, it had hurt her a lot when I told her I was moving. Even if I was just over the
border. Jayden was most likely working off his pent-up aggression. Remembering what they would say to me if they saw me sad. Jayden would say something along the lines of "Why so glum?" And then he would pout at me making me laugh. Aleasha would say "Oh Cheer up Aer!" Oh how I miss them.
Being dragged here had been the worst thing that had happened in my life well second really. The first would have to be when the police had came to my front
door and told us that my father had been murder a year ago. It was devastating. My mother had been strong threw the whole process never shedding a tear but at
night we could all hear her crying herself to sleep. It hurt a lot when that would happen. I missed my dad and I wished more then anything for him to come back.
My mother had relocated me and my brothers across the border to Blaine, Washington, I had to admit it is beautiful here. The Oceanside town was literally
breathtaking.
She thought if we started a fresh start it would make it easier on Me, Dean and Mason,
but she had been wrong, we didn't want to upset her so when she told us we were moving so we kept our mouth shuts. We tried not to complain about it all.
The upside about this whole situation was that I had my brothers to keep me company. Being the baby of the family obligates them to entertain me. My mother
