You and I

New Town and Matt Donovan

Chapter 1:

I sighed as I leant my head against the car window, I was currently on my way to Mystic Falls with my mum and dad. We were moving here from England so I guess you could say it was a big move. I got bored quickly and leant forward to the space in between the front seats and asked how long we had left in the car, my mum replied saying we'd be there within the next half an hour, not forgetting the exasperated sigh she let out before answering.

I decided I'd listen to some music while I can, I put my favourite playlist on shuffle and one of my favourite songs came on, Ed Sheeran-Give Me Love followed by Ron Pope-A Drop In The Ocean, I carried on listening to my wide range of music until finally I saw a sign up ahead that read "Welcome to the town of Mystic Falls".

I took my headphones out and put my phone back in the pocket of my jean shorts, just waiting for the moment that I can get out of this stuffy car. The car slowed to a stop and I quickly leapt out of the door and ran to the boot (well trunk in America but yeah) and got out as much luggage as i could carry.

Speed walking up to where my mum had left the door to our new house open, I just wanted to get the unpacking over and done with, not that I would end up doing it anyway. I stomped up the stairs with the weight of the suitcases and bags weighing me down. Looking around the top hallway where all the rooms were I noticed that everything was bare, all of the walls painted the same boring cream colour. I suppose the old owners did it for us to make it easier for us to redecorate. The downstairs was most likely the same.

I lugged my things to my room and put them there before walking quickly down the stairs to see if my parents needed anything doing, being careful not to trip on the remaining bags and suitcases at the bottom of the stairs. My mum just shook her head and said, "why don't you go have a look around the town before dinner", giving me a warm smile.

I thought about it before agreeing with a small smile. I walked back up the stairs to change out of my travelling clothes, I pulled out a pair of light washed denim shorts, black gladiator sandals and a white vest top with a black peace sign on it. I didn't need much makeup so I just put on some concealer under my eyes, some black catflick eyeliner, mascara and some pale pink lip gloss. I left my hair down in its natural mousy blonde waves.

I headed back downstairs and shouted a quick goodbye to my parents. I walked out onto the path and looked from left to right, deciding which way to go, I decided to go right and see if I could find a cafe of some sort. Not long after did I find myself at the Mystic Grill, walking inside I saw a range of people, teenagers mostly.

I found a small spare table and sat down, a few seconds later a waiter (busboy) with blonde hair and blue eyes came up to my table, "hey, I'm Matt Donovan, you're new around here aren't you? Anyway, what would you like?"

I looked up giving him a kind smile, "hi, I'm Kylie Harris and yeah, is it that easy to tell? And yes please, just a water will be fine thank you." He was very attractive and seemed like one of the nice guys.

"Wow you're English, you've moved a long way huh? And your water will be coming right up." With that he left to get my drink with a small smile gracing his lips.

He came back a few minutes later, drink in hand, while putting my drink down for me, smiling a little, "I hope to see you around some time soon, it was nice meeting you."

I smiled up at him gratefully for the drink, "yeah i hope so too, see ya round Matt Donovan."

"See ya round Kylie Harris", his lip curving into a smirk while walking away to carry on with work.

If everyone is this welcoming then I think I'm really going to enjoy my new life here in Mystic Falls.

***********************************************************

I soon left the Mystic Grill to start making my way home. I followed the same route I took for me to get there and it wasn't long until I was back to my new house.

"Honey, is that you?" I heard my mum call from the front room along with a "hi sweetheart" from my dad. I made my way to where they were sat down on the sofa to see what they were watching on the TV. I had no idea what kind of things were on American TV so I just sat and mindlessly watched whatever programme was on at that moment in time.

"So, what do you think of the town so far?" I heard my dad ask me, I kind of zoned out while looking at the TV so it was quite quiet.

"Oh, I love it so far! I found this bar/grill type thing and met this guy called Matt Donovan, he works as a busboy there, he was really nice and welcoming. I hope everyone here is that nice." My mum beamed at me while my dad frowned at the mention of a boy. I chuckled and rolled my eyes at his facial expression, he has always been the over protective type when it came to boys, even though I could take perfectly good care of myself when it came to them.

Without waiting for the hour long lecture that was bound to begin about safe sex and staying away from the wrong type of boys, I skipped happily up the stairs to my room to do some unpacking instead of leaving it all until tomorrow like my mum had said earlier. After separating all, well most of my clothing and putting them into piles I decided to head to bed early to catch up on my sleep with the jetlag finally starting to have an effect on me.

I closed my eyes after getting changed into some pajamas, my small black and white pulka dotted shorts with a pink spaghetti strapped vest top, taking my bra off. I slipped into bed and under my warm cream coloured sheets. Sleep came almost instantly after that and I welcomed it with open arms.
