"More than friends?..."

1. the big move

Alisons POV 

" call me as soon as you land okay i love you?" my mom shouts from the other end of the airport waving me off. i cant believe i'm going to live in new jersey. i have never left Canada before its strange.

i finally find my empty seat on the plane, and plunk myself down on the worn out uncomfortable chair, found my earphones and find myself drifting off staring into the light pink colored clouds in the view.

i was awakened by a tall blonde, over polite flight attendant, telling me "excuse me m'am, please put your seat back into the upright position and fasten your seat belt as the captain is preparing to land." i did what was asked and put my earphones back in listening to Shawn Mendes 'mercy' to distract me from my nerves.

Even though i have all summer to settle in until collage starts, iv'e barely seen my aunt the 6 years never mind meeting new friends, i'm not good at socializing with new people, at home i just had the same bunch of friends since i was a kid and i liked it like that, but it'll be healthy to make some new ones. i finally land and before i know it i'm in the arms of my aunt, its safe to say shes like a stranger to me we have both grown since we last saw each other its kind of awkward even though she is my moms sister. but it is very nice shes letting me live with her

"hey ali, how are you?" she asks shyly

"i'm fine, nervous but ill be fine" i answer honestly, she smiles at me, turns and walks towards the  exit i immediately follow. it took us about 20 minutes to get to her house, it was bigger than my house back in Toronto. okay it was huge. it was a light gray color with some darker beige toned parts,lovely glass windows with white hinges a darker gray door, the front garden had loads of flowers and plants spread into sections oh and a huge tree on the side. i honestly couldn't wait to get in. once i did my mouth was left open, inside was even better than the outside. big kitchen, couple living rooms, chill room, games room there is more i couldn't get over how nice everything looked, my mom told me she was a clean freak but wow every thing is spotless it felt really refreshing.

"here i'll show you your room" she spoke up and made her way up the stairs, we turned into the 2nd bedroom on the left, it was so pretty, it had a double bed, my own couch, the prettiest looking chair, massive closet, desk, mirrors and a balcony, i loved it.

"you like it?" she asked

"like it? i love it thank you so much aunt jessie" i replied and dropped my luggage and bags to the floor and hugged her

"its just jessie remember?" she smirked and walked out

she peered her head back "oh my friend is coming over for dinner tonight and her daughter and two sons there about your age, i want you to make friends here and my friend that's coming over? you'll love her shes just like me" she giggled and walked away . i start to unpack my things as i had a few hours before they came, i wonder what there like, hopefully i get along with them.

after a while i find myself exploring for the bathroom to get a quick shower.                                             i turn the hot water on and slip off my clothes and jumped in, its weird but i think the showers here are different its probably just me. as i'm washing my hair i start day dreaming about what life here could be like, what if my mom and dad never moved out to Canada maybe my dad would still be here. i snap out of my trance and finish up, i check the time and it was 6pm i'm sure they would be here soon, i quickly dry off and get changed into black high waisted skinny jeans and a light pink, ruffed, off the shoulder top, tucked in, i then applied some make up, i swear i could live off makeup, i could breathe off it! i was obsessed, by this point my hair had dried, i have natural straight long brown hair so i just left it the way it was. and just in time the door bell rang, i got sudden  butterflies in my stomach.
