Paint, Windows, and Hiding Places

                   I walked around my room examining every nook and cranny trying to picture where everything would go and how I would decorate.  The window seat had the most beautiful view, it showed the horizon and the sunset, as I saw this I suddenly realized how exhausted I was from the long ride.  My airbed was finally finished inflating, so I made it up changed into some pj's and went to bed.                                        

                                                       *The next morning*

                     I was jolted awake by the shrill sound of my alarm, I realized it was the next day and I decide it was time to get to work.  I put on a pair of old sweat pants and a baggy white t-shirt and went downstairs to get the paint we bought last night.  I heard a knock on the door but I was in the living room and my mom was already in front of the door, me being as curious as I am on the way up the stairs peeked to see who it was and I felt my heart flip when I saw who it was.  I ran upstairs and changed to some old shorts and a fitted tank top.  My mom called Vanessa and me downstairs to tell us that the neighbors came to help us paint if we wanted it.  I found it funny that it was Xavier and his brother who were our neighbors.  So Xavier volunteered to help me paint my room while his brother Bryan volunteered to help Vanessa.  We headed up to my room and first I put the airbed away and putting down the floor cover.  The last thing to do before we could actually start painting waqs to tape the parts that wasn't going to be painted blue-green.

           Three hours and two cans of paint later my clothes were nearly covered in paint and both Xavier's and my hair had tons of paint in it.  Although my room was almost completely painted, and I was starving.  Thankfully my mom and Xavier's made sandwhiches while everyone was painting. Since we had to wait for the next day to finish painting so after eating I got some clothes and underwear and took a shower.  My mom said that we meaning Vanessa and myself should go exploring the small town we moved to.  Vanessa then took a shower while Xavier and Bryan went home to take a shower and get dressed.  Vaness and I put on  almost identical outfits ,ripped jeans shorts, a tank top, and Vanessa wearing wedges and I wearing flip flops.  When the boys got back we took their car and decided to go to the movies.  But when we got there I saw the last person I wanted to see........
