Ocean Girl

Moving

"You think you know someone,but you don't truly know them until they share their food with you"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mom!!!"I shout from upstairs.

"Ya hun??"She screams back.

"The moving trucks here!!!!"I reply.

I hear footsteps from across the hall.I walk into my twin brother,Marks room.

"Hey Mark have you taken your boxes down already?"I ask.

"Ya I have."He replies to me,playing some game on his phone.

"Ok,just checking."And with that being said I walked back to my room then into the bathroom.

I was 5"7 with blue eyes and bronde hair.Nothing special.I had a slender body figure but so did a lot of people.Today,moving day,I was wearing skinny blue jeans from Hollister and a crop top that was red and said "I rather be watching Netflix then be here."in black letters.Sighing I re-did my messy bun and said goodbye to my room in Chicago.The lavender walls that were barren now made me sad,I really liked that wall with the pictures of me and my friends,fam,etc.My favorite part was the white letters that spelled out my name,Marilyn.Oh well,I'm doing this for mom.My mom got a job transfer and was really happy about it,so Mark and I just went along with it.

I step off the plane,finally.It was a long 6 hour flight and I'm craving some Portillos(shoutout to all of you who know the restaurant)

"Hey mom?"I ask.

"Ya hun?"She asks back

"Can we get some Portillos?!?"

"Sorry sweetie but there is no Portillos here."

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!What else does California not have?Wifi?I sigh sadly and accept my defeat.We move slowly but surely to a cab and then to our new house.It is very modern and pretty.I see an even bigger house next to it,with a boy my age with dark brown hair and blue eyes,piercing blue eyes.We lock eyes for a second then look away

"Ok"my mom says."Marilyn gets room by the stairs upstairs and Mark you get the one to the right of Marilyn's.My bedroom is downstairs."

We each walk into our respectful bedrooms.I walk into a decent sized room with baby blue walls and a queen sized bed.There is isalso a closet and a drawer.I get my own bathroom.Score!I look out my window and see another window with a boys room less than 4 ft away.Who made these god dang houses so close together?

My stomach grumbles,so I decide to go get a iced tea from Starbucks.

"Hey mom I'm gonna go find Starbucks ok?"

"Ok just be safe!"

I walk out the door and realize that it's a beautiful day.Looking on my phone,I find my way to the nearest Starbucks.Then,I walk in still looking down at my phone and bump into someone!I look um instantly and see a blonde haired girl around my age looking at me.

"Sorry.."I say to her

She looks at me with a confused expression on her face."It's totally fine!People run into me all the time!Also,are you gonna be a senior when school starts?"

"Uh ya I am"I reply sheepishly.This girl seems really nice and I hope she wants to be friends.

"I'm Ally by the way!Here,lemme see your phone and I will add you to the group chat with me and all my other friends."

"Ok,here you go"I hand my rose gold IPhone 7 over to her and she does some stuff and hands it back.

"There ya go!Dont be surprised if you get a lot of texts though,we text a lot."She tells me.

"Ok byeeee!!"

"Byeeeee!"

I walk out and realize I never even got my iced tea.Oh well I can just get something else to eat or drink later.I walk all the way home and into my room and flip down on my bed.Netflix here I come.
