The Life I Live

A New Start

         My name is Leah, I'm in the 10th grade starting at my new school in Michigan. I just moved here all the way from California, I'm still trying to get used to everything. We just arrived to my new mansion it's only me, my twin brother and my mom. My dad left us 5 1/2 years ago and I still remember every second of it. My mom caught my dad cheating on her on the way home from work. She got off of work early so she could make a nice dinner for their anniversary.

While waking into her room to change she walked in on my dad cheating with the neighbor. She packed up mine and my brothers stuff and left for good. She sent the divorcement papers a week later. My mom got custody because my dad didn’t want us to have a pathetic father. She moved to another place closer to work, but 2 weeks ago her company moved her to Michigan. They wanted her to be the new CEO of that branch so my mom started packing. My brother couldn’t care less but I was so close to my father it hurt that he would do something like that to mom.

      We got out of the car and went to the moving truck behind us. The guys opened the back for us and started to handing us boxes. My brother took a box and handed it to me. I took the box and went inside to this big mansion. As I walk into the house with the big doors but when I tried to reach the door it opened but I didn’t open it but my butler did. “Hello Mrs.Leah my name is William” “go upstairs to your room it's on the left”. I shook my head and headed upstairs there were two flights of stairs leading to the upstairs on opposite sides. I go to the left and finally found my room it felt like i was look for 6 whole hours.

      My room was big and white with a balcony and my own bathroom. I heard my mom's voice telling the movers to move all of our stuff in our house in less than 3 hours. Then i heard her coming to my room. “ how do you like your new room?” she ask I said “it's beautiful I love it thank you” she smiled and told me to unpack I have school tomorrow. I start by unpacking all of my stuff in my bathroom, because the movers are setting up my bed and vanity. The bathroom has one big sink with a giant mirror the bath and shower were separate but huge. The moving people got done setting up my stuff then left I finally got to organized my room.

       It's already 7:38 pm. So I go across the hall to see my brother lying on his bed staring at the ceiling. My brother has dark brown hair while I have light brown hair we look the same but different heights and hair. He's 6ft while I am 5’6 he likes to put his arm on my head and use it for a arm rest.

“I’m hungry” I tell him
“me too” he says

He gets up slowly but I notice he looks so depressed I just notice black circles and his eyes look dead.

“Are you okay” I ask
“Come on im hunger let's go out and get some pizza around this cold state” he says

He just ignored my question so maybe I'm overthinking it.

“Ok, I'll ask mom for some money” I say

I went to tell mom she gave us her back up credit card and she texted the driver to come to the front of the driveway. I jumped in while sliding all the way to my brother. I put my head on his lap.

“im tired rub my head”
“Ughhhhhhh ok only till we get there” he then slaps my head “WHAT WAS THAT FOR” I yell he starts laughing “i'm not that nice” I slapped him. Then we arrived at the pizza shop. The driver opened our doors at the entrance and went to go park. We walk in and order the pizza and sat down in our booth. Everyone was looking at us, then they called our number. We walked up and my brother grabbed it, some guy bumped into me.
