Lost and Found

Chapter 4: Directions

*Averys P.O.V.*

I just sat  there on. the couch like a lazy potato. My phone made a *ding*. I groaned, sat up, and grabbed it.

Mom: Hey, Ave, I need to ask you something.
Avery: Go ahead.. What's wrong? Hesitation isn't usually your thing, mom.
Mom: Well, right now I'm at a realtor.
Avery: WHAT?!?! Why??? 😫
Mom: Were moving, sweetie. I'm sorry but after your dad died-
Avery: DON'T BRING DAD INTO THIS!!!!
Mom: Avery, It's decided!! No more arguments.
Avery: But I have friends here!! What about school!
Mom: RELAX AVERY!! We're not moving very far!
Mom: it's only about 15 minutes away. You're still going to the same school. If anything you're going to be closer to your school AND your friends.
Avery: Really? Mom that's great! I'm sorry I freaked out, I just..
Mom: I know honey, I'm sorry.

And the conversation ended there. I left her on read. She would be home soon enough anyways. I decided to stop being a potato, and get up. I went up the stairs to my room and got dressed. I was going to go to the park today. I had an amazing wardrobe: the stores here are amazing! I threw on a black crop top with the words "Cali Girl" printed in bold letters, and some black jean shorts with some teal buttons. I put my hair into a messy braid bun and did my makeup. Some eyeliner... Mascara.. and lipstick, keeping it simple. I slipped on some flats and walked out the door.

The park was actually really peaceful. I sat down on the bench, and suddenly I heard my name being called.

"Avery!! Avery!!!" Yelled Jaylene from the pathway. Jaylene was my best friend since grade 2. She's almost the complete opposite of me. She has short, blonde hair, and beautiful hazel/Blue eyes. "Omg!! Have you heard?" She cheers.

I wave my hand on, signalling to "keep going".

"Okay, so. You know Axel, the boy who goes to his our school?" She questions.
"Mmhmm." I reply.
"Do you know the super hot dude that's his friend.. Devan Key?" She said enthusiastic
My face got bright red. I could feel it. I covered my check with my hands and smiled.
"I'll take that as a yes then. Anyway, Axel says Devan won't stop talking about you. How pretty your eyes are , how beautiful you are, how silky and soft your hair is.." Jaylene gushed.

"Really? I said. I thought Devan didn't.. I mean., I-"
"Axel told me all about what happened between you two that night" she said grinning. She squealed and hugged me. "Love at first sight!!" She sang. I looked at my watch.
"Hey, I gotta go. My moms gonna be home soon" I said.
"Yeah, No problem. Text me when you get home!!" She called as I got up and walked away from the bench.

*at home*
There I was, once again a lazy couch potato. My phone once again, made a sound. I grabbed it. The text was from Devan. All he said was "hey". I guess that's pretty average. I grab it and start to type back, then I realize I shouldn't. I delete what I had wrote  and set my phone down, leaving him on read, you know. Just to drive him crazy. The same way he drives me crazy.
