Drifting Away

Starting Over

                                                                                    Diary POV

Dear diary, when you've live in a polluted city  for your whole life, you don't really expect to move to a small happy town where fresh air exists. But anyways my name is Drift i'm 14 and not to brag, but i'm pretty hot and cool. At least at my old school... Today were moving into a place called Salty Springs. I always thought of moving as a new chance. Another you. Last year you cussed your head off but now that you have moved you can be a SUPER shy kid! It all depends but anyways mom told me to stop writing and look out the window, as it's supposedly "beautiful" outside.

                                                                        Drifts' POV

I stepped out of the car and immediately smelled the air. It was nice but I was more used to the smell of trash and gas, but it was new, and interesting.  I looked over to see how my siblings were doing. Brite Bomber ((Whom I call Britey)) was looking disappointing and angry, resentment I guess was the word. Britey was, 18 though, and could be living on her own... I can see why she's so sad. What a bum! My 2 younger siblings Isabelle and Lillie were excited (They aren't old enough for their registered names COUGH mine is Jake.) "Hey Drifty" I looked over to see my mom with her usual happy face. "Hi mom..." "What's wrong Drifty-draft?" "Oh.. nothing... I wasn't about ready to tell my mom about how I wanted to go back to Tilted! That would break her little heart! "Oki then Drift, would you help me unpack sweetie?" "Sure mom..." I was excited yet terrified to see what I was gonna experience here at "Salty Springs..." I can't wait!

                                                                              Next day...

I awoke on the couch with a sore... well everything! Moving was so stressful (Not to mention mom dropped her wardrobe on my foot. Let's just say it felt like everything was packed in + Narnia was in that thing! Oww...) Hey nerd! I looked over at my sister Britey eating Golden Grams, eww. "Nerd isn't an insult you know.." I said with resentment to her RUDE comment. She rolled her eyes and bit into her disgusting cereal. I hope she chokes. Being the only guy in the family sucks! My mom was in an abusive relationship with my dad so were a broken family actually... I wish I would have just had a normal dad... My thoughts blew up when Lillie bit me in the leg. "WOAH! Lillie what the fu... Mom walked in... "What the fu...reak! Freak! Yeah... Right COUGH. Lillie giggled, though my leg hurts now I just laughed along with her. A couple mins later I was eating my cereal when my mom did it... The thing NO KID EVER WANTS TO HERE. "Why don't you go make some friends?" I looked over making the most stupid face I could. (I looked alot like Britey) "Mom, no, maybe tomorrow, Can't I just play C.O.D for one day? Geez." "Honey..." She sat next to me like I was 5 or something. "I know your not used to this environment, but I need you to make friends... It's my fault... You grew up in a dump! But please for me, make me proud." I sighed, I couldn't help but feel terrible. Mom was wrong about it being her fault, it really wasn't her fault we lived in Tilted for almost 15 years... When dad left he took more than 1\2 of moms hard earned money... Of course we eventually got the money back, (keyword there was eventually.)  (NOW, THIS TOOK EVERY BIT OF COURAGE FOR ME TO SAY BUT I SAID IT...) "Ok mom... your right i'll go and make a "friend"..."

Tune in for chapter 2 tomorrow...
