Deception (h.s)

one

"And here we are." Mum exclaimed as she pushed open the doors to our new house.

Moving house isn't exactly the most exciting thing - that is unless you are moving into a 10 storey mansion with a water slide but as far as I am concerned, that isn't going to happen.

I sighed as I dumped my bag down next to the staircase, nearly falling over in the process as my little brother ran upstairs to choose what bedroom he got.

"Watch out you little.." I began

"Sabrina, language please." My mum warns, cutting me off.

"Mum! My name is Brie. Got it? Good. I'm going up to my room." I say, picking up my bag and walking up the stairs. The polished marble steps are cold beneath my feet. This house is so modern. Almost too modern.

I miss my old house. I long to hear the creak of the wooden floorboards under me and the musty smell filling my nose as I walked through the front door. All I smell now is cleaning polish. I couldn't say I like it but I don't hate it either.

I open almost every door upstairs to try and find a bedroom that isn't yet occupied by my brother or my parents.

"Brie?" Comes my mother's yell from downstairs. "Have you found your bedroom? It's the last room on the right, I think."

Sure enough, I open the door to reveal a moderately sized bedroom with a large window overlooking the front yard as well as an additional balcony. I had my own bathroom that was really big and a walk in closet.

Our furniture had already arrived and been placed in rooms randomly by the mover guys.

I went onto the balcony and saw a branch from a nearby tree that had practically grown beside the railing. My eyes followed the trail down the branch and saw what I thought to be the remnants of a tree house positioned in the fork of the nearby tree. Spider webs covered the old bits of wooden planks and I shuddered.

I hate spiders.

I remember the time me and my friend Jess went to the zoo together. We saw a massive Brazilian spider in a glass enclosure. It just sat there, doing nothing. I was scared of spiders and Jess knew that. My birthday can around about 2 months later and as a present, she bought me a tarantula. I woke up one morning and saw it on the ceiling directly above me, just casually staring at me. I was so freaked out like seriously. But I remember Jess telling me she bought the tarantula online -from Mexico to be specific. She had gone to so much trouble just so she could piss me off a lot. Jess was and is still my best friend. I miss her so much.

I continue to reminisce of my times with her when I felt a hand grip onto my shoulders and saw my mum smiling at me.

"I hope your room is going to be big enough to hold all your clothes." She laughed.

"Yeah. Haha." I laughed uneasily. It was so obvious I was faking.

But who can blame me for faking? I'm just an ordinary 17 year old girl who suddenly got stripped from the neighbourhood I practically grew up in and forced to live in the middle of nowhere in some town where I didn't know anybody. Whilst, may I mention, still preparing for my yearly exams to decide what college I go to and basically determine my future!

"Brie, okay I understand you might not like it here. But please just give this place a chance." She says.

"Mum, I get it! Can you please just leave?" I almost yell.

"Fine, I will." And just as she closes the door, she says "Brie, please don't be mad. Your family really likes it here and I do to." The door shuts.

"I wish I could like it here, mum, I wish I could like it here too." I whisper.
