*Taylor's POV*
"Taylor, your father and I have to tell you and your brother something," my mom said as I
sat down at the table. I groaned and rolled my eyes.
"Oh how I love family talks," I grumbled sarcastically what.
"Don't be rude," my mom replied.
"Whatever, what do you need to tell us? Are you pregnant? Or are you shipping me to boarding school?"
"No.. well you see your father has been offered a job promotion and he's going to take it, but the job is in... California," By the time my mom finished her sentance I knew what she meant. We were moving to California. How could they do this to me? They didn't even think about how I would fell, or how Nick would feel!
"No, I'm not going. You can go, but I'm not!" I yelled then stromed out of the house, I needed to skate. I always did this to get my anger out, it helped a lot. I grabbed my skateboard and rode around for a while until it started to get dark so I stopped at a Starbucks and sat inside. I was so frusterated and pissed. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw I had 10 missed calls and 20 unread messages. All from my parents. One more call popped up on the screen and it was from Nick, my older brother. After a couple seconds of thinknig I answered.
"Where the hell are you?" Nick asked.
"Starbucks, I'm fine," I said annoyed.
"Okay, and I'm mad too, but we'll get through it, I promise," This made me feel a little better, Nick could always cheer me up.
"Okay, I'll be home in half an hour, bye," then I hung up the phone. I checked the time and it was 8:33, so I decided to head on back home.
*2 WEEKS LATER*
The last couple weeks have sucked. We've all been packing and stressing about moving. We we're finally flying to California today, and all of our belongings were to be shipped to our new house. I had already said goodbye to all my friends, well the 3 I had.
"Smile Taylor, you're going to be living on the beach! How exciting!" my mom gushed. That made me want to throw up.
"It might be your dream to live on the beach, but it's not mine," I answered and walked away.
I was going to make sure they regreted moving me to California.
"We landed, wake up," I heard as somebody nudged my arm. I groaned and slowly opened my eyes, we were in California.
"Yay we've landed in hell," I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.
"C'mon Taylor, it might turn out to be fun," Nick said as we walked off the plane. To be honest.. I was a little excited. But. I wasn't going to let anybody know that. Once a cab drove us to the new house I grabbed my bag out of the car and looked at the house. It was big.. well huge actually. There was a pool in the backyard which I had to admitt was kind of cool. I walked inside and immediatly went into the base ment, hoping there was a bedroom down there, and lucky for me there was. I had always wanted a downstairs bedroom. so I could be as far away from my fmaily as possible. I dropped my bag on the floor and took out my penny board. Time to adventure around Hunnington Beach.
"Mind if I go with you?" I heard Nick say as I walked out the front door.
"No problem," I smiled. Nick was honestly my bestfriend, and was probably one of the only people I liked.
"So where are we going?" Nick asked as we skated out of our neighborhood.
"I really don't know," I laughed. We just kept on riding around until we came across some other people skating. One of them saw me and pointed me out to the other and they all waved.
"Hey, you guys new around here?" one of them said as he stopped skating. Nick and I stopped skating too and walked over to them.
"Uh yeah, we actually just moved here today," Nick told them. I looked around uncomfortably.
"Well I'm Wesley," The brown haired one said. "That's Keaton my little brother, and that's Drew," he said pointing to the other two. Keaton was obviously the youngest and Drew looked the oldest.
"Hey, I'm Nick," Nick smiled at them.
"And you are..." Wesley said looking at me.
"Uhm, Taylor," I replied.
"Cool, well we'll see you guys around," Drew said and then they all skated off. Yeah, they seemed nice but you never know.
"Hey, you wanna get some Frozen Yogurt? It looks like there is a Yougurt Land over there," Nick said pointing across the street.
"Yeah, you got money?" I ask.
"Yup," he answered. Once we got there we threw our skateboards in a bush and walked inside. I got Cake Batter because that's what I always got, with nothing on it. I liked things plain, adding a bunch of toppings just ruins it, ya know? I was starving from the plane ride so I devoured it extremley fast and so did Nick.
"Well, I'm tired and really need to sleep so let's go home," Nick said. I agreed and we got our skateboards and rode back home. Soon enough I was passed out on the bed in my room. I woke up to the smell of bacon being cooked upstairs. Gross. I got up, grabbed a pair of shorts and baggy black v-neck and walked to my bathroom. At our old house I didn't have my own bathroom, which really sucked. I truned the hat water on, stripped down, and hopped into the shower. I washed my hair and body and wasted about 15 minutes in there until I finally turned the shower off. Once I dried off I put on my clothes and grabbed my phoe. I checked the time and it was already 12, geez I slept a lot. I walked upstairs and saw my mom cooking breakfast.
"I made soem eggs and bacon, do you want some?" my mom asked.
"No," I said annoyed.
"Why not?" she asked.
"I'm vegetarian.." I grumbled and walked out of the room to find Nick. He was sitting in the living room already setting up his Xbox. Wow.
"Hey, you wanna-" I was cutoff by the doorbell ringing.
"Taylor, Nick, can you get that?" Mom yelled from the kitchen. We rolled our eyes and walked to the front door. I opened it and both of our eyes got big once we saw who it was. Wesley, Keaton, Drew, and a women I was guessing was Wesley and Keaton's mom. To be honest I wasn't expecting to see them agian, especially not this soon, and at our house.
"Nick and Taylor?" Drew said almost as shocked as us.
"That's us," Nick laughed.
"You guys know each other?" Their mom asked.
"Yeah, we met yesterday when we were skating," Wesley said. He smiled at me and I gave him a little smile back. Well this is uncomfortable.
"So um, whatcha doing here?" Nick asked.
"Oh, well I just wanted to welcome the new neighbors, I'm Laraine," the women said shaking both of our hands.
"I'm Nick,"
"And I'm Taylor,"
"Well hello there!" My mom said walking towards all of us. "Come in,"
Wesley, Drew, KEaton, and Laraine all stepped inside. It was honestly really awkward.
"Laraine and my mom talked for a while and us kids just kinda sat there.
"So, whcich one is your house?" I asked breaking the silence.
"The one right next to you, I can't beleive we didn't ev n notice you were our neighbors," Drew laughed.
"Yeah that's crazy," Nick said, "Well I'll show you around,"
"Alright cool bro," Wesley said and they walked away. I decided to go back to my room and waste the day away on my laptop.
