To think I'd never been in a cab before. I was a natural with the driver. When we stopped outside a large building I looked up at how tall it was from the window. I handed the driver the money with a smile and a wave when she drove off. Turning on my heel (something I've never done before), I began to walk up to the house.

*Knock*
I went to knock again but the door burst open to a guy just taller than me and I almost hit him right in the face.
"Wow! Watch out!" He said in shock.
"I'm sorry. I..." I began until he stopped me.

Eddie POV:
"Wow! Watch out!" I said in shock, jolting backwards slightly.
"I'm sorry. I..." She began but I stopped her.
"It's ok. Don't worry about it." I said.
She was beautiful. Her hair was up in a bun but I could tell it was long, black. She had such a pale complection. What am I doing? I have Patricia.

Y/N POV:
"It's ok. Don't worry about it." He said, a tall guy, older, stepped up from behind him.
"Off you go, Mr Miller." He said in a deep tone.
I didn't want him to go... I've never said this about a regular guy before but he's hot. He was just staring at me. I couldn't help but stare back. "Go, Mr Miller!" He boomed. He hesitated then stuck his hand up in a wave and left. "You must be Miss... Millington." He muttered that last part. "Yes-" I began before Amber burst past the man and jumped on me giving me a giant hug. "Oh my god, Amber. Let go, you're going to strangle her!" A girl said from behind. Amber let go keeping her hands on my shoulders. "Eeeep! So Y/N, we have to introduce you to everyone!" She squealed. I just had my eyes wide and nodded slightly.

She dragged me inside, I almost through my suitcase she was that fast. We stopped at the bottom of a rather large staircase.
"Ok, so you met Victor and this is Nina." She said pointing to the girl from before, stood next to her. "Hi." I said and she said back.

Another guy walked up behind both Nina and Amber; "Hey guys! Oh, who's this?"

Fabian's POV:
I noticed Nina and Amber so I walked up to them; "Hey guys!" I suddenly saw the prettiest girl ever. Equal to Nina. "Oh, who's this?"
"This is my cousin, Y/N! She's new!" Amber squealed which created an upraw from the lounge. Everyone came in.

Y/N POV:
Quite a few people walked in from the lounge area. Some boys, some girls. Some tall, some short. All staring at me. "Guys, this is my cousin Y/N! She's new here!"
"Hi, I'm mara."
"I'm Alfie!"
"Joy..."
"Sup? Patricia."
"KT."
"J-Jerome..."

Jerome's POV:
Everyone was saying there names. All I could do was stare at her. She's beautiful. What Jerome? You play girls, not fall for them.
"J-Jerome..." Great! I stumbled. This is so embarrassing.

Y/N POV:
"H-Hi." I said with a little wave in hesitation. I feel extremely uncomfortable right now. Large groups aren't my scene. I think amber could tell; "Come on let's go show you your room!" And we headed up the stairs.

"Here we are! Mine and yours!" She said with the most excited tone ever. I have to share a room with her as well as go to school with her? I'm not that little girl who used to squeal at everything anymore! "Great...!" I said slowly.

She helped me unpack and just in time as Trudy, the house maid, called for dinner or supper as they say. We went down stairs and into the dining room where everyone was sat waiting to eat. Amber pointed to a seat next to Jerome and Eddie. I sat, feeling weird and Amber sat also. Everyone dived in and gabbed the food. There was a lot but I wasn't hungry. I took a small bit of mash potato and a couple of sausages.

"Not hungry?" Jerome asked which coursed me to feel startled. "Oh, no. I had a large lunch at the airport." I replied.

Jerome POV:
I could see in her eyes she wasn't telling the truth but I didn't want to push her when I hardly know her.

Y/N POV:
"Hey! Listen, I didn't get your name? Mines Eddie." He said from the other side of me. I turned my head quick to his voice and tap on the arm. "Y/N." I said. "Nice to meet you." He said back to which I gave a nod in agreement.

After dinner, everyone chilled out in the lounge for a while. Nothing really happened. Then we headed to bed. After getting ready for sleep, I grabbed my phone and checked through everything. A text from my aunt; "hope you arrived safe, love you x" I replied back; "Yes, I'm fine. <3 x" That's all. I put my phone down and went to sleep.
