Idaho

New school

So for the Americans, the election was last night and Donald Trump won. While my family is republicans (don't kill me!) I honestly expected Hillary to win. I honestly didn't like any of them and I hope 2020 is a WHOLE lot better.

And now, on with the story!

We had moved to Boise a few days ago, and mom had gotten a new job, while Leo and I lived at our grandma's house.

"Leo, where is my iPad?" I asked as he came down.

"I don't know. I have my own, remember?" He told me before depositing it in his backpack.

I sighed as I started looking for it, before my mom came in.

"Something wrong, Chase?"

"I can't find my iPad." I told her as she handed it to me. "Where was it?"

"In your dirty laundry. You really need to start getting organized."

She was right. It's not like I'm naturally putting my electronics in the laundry, but we've only been here for a few days, and I still hadn't unpacked, something she was getting discouraged with.

"I know, mom. Love you." I hugged her.

"I'll see you tonight." She smiled, kissing my forehead as she left as I put my iPad in my backpack before running down the stairs and grabbing a apple off the counter as I bit into it before yelling.

"Leo! Lets go!"

Leo ran down the stairs, putting his shoe on before we both ran out the door and to the bus stop.

After twenty minutes of the bus ride, Leo and I finally got off before heading to the principal's office. The principal was a short woman with ginger hair and pale skin as she grabbed our locker assignments, schedules, and combinations.

"Here you go, newbies. Don't blow it." She told us as she practically pushed us out.

"Well, she seems like a angel." Leo replied sarcastically as he left while I walked down the hall before colliding into someone.

"Ow." I muttered as I opened my eyes to see a hand outstretched in front of me.

"Sorry. I'm such a klutz sometimes." I heard a female say as I grabbed her hand to see a girl with short auburn hair and brown eyes, in front of a large pair of glasses.

"It's fine." I assured her as I shook off the last bit of blurryness before opening my locker.

"I'm Reese." She told me.

"Chase." I smiled as I shut the locker.

"So, I gotta get to class, but I'll see you around, Chase." She smiled before leaving as I went to history before sitting beside a brown haired girl with brown eyes.

"New kid. What's your name?" She demanded.

"Chase."

"I'm Bree. That's Adam, my brother." She told me before referring to the black haired, brown eyed boy who was playing with a highlighter as the teacher walked in, referring to the chalkboard.

"Belgium, 1831."

At lunch, I was holding my tray while Leo ushered me over to where he was as I sat down.

"These are Janelle, Sebastian, Adam and Bree." He told me.

"Yeah, Bree and I met earlier." I told him before glancing at Reese who was eating her lunch outside as I asked Bree. "What do you know about her?"

She looked out the window and groaned.

"Reese. She's a jerk. Trust me when I say, you do NOT want to hang out with her. She acts all nice, then steals your man right before homecoming."

"Well, considering I'm straight, I'm sure that won't be a problem." I chuckled as Bree rolled her eyes.

"I mean it, Chase. She only is friends with you if she wants something out of it."

"Sure." I replied sarcastically as I pulled out my phone, to see a text from my mom.

Tasha: Hey sweetheart, are you doing ok?

Chase: Yeah, I'm fine. Work going well?

Tasha: Yep. I think I finally found the one, Chase. My co-worker.

Chase: That's great, mom.

I sighed as I put up my phone before placing my head in my hands. Mom had always had different boyfriends, and they would come over a lot, but I never liked them and they never worked out. This was not gonna go well.
