In Our Own World || A Finn Harries Fanfiction

Chapter 2

"Alright everyone, come on in!" My grandma pushed me lightly in, as my grandpa helped my parents carry their bags. I looked around in awe. This house was pretty big compared to ours....who knew gran and gramp were so rich?

        I put my backpack on a brown leather couch and took a seat, looking at all the different pictures and things hanging on the wall. There was a long line of photos of what seemed to be younger Dad and his brothers, cousins, and friends that led to a short spiral staircase to the second floor. The windows had floral print curtains and were neatly dusted, along with the rest of the furniture.

The house had the "old" look, but it is my grandparents' house, so....

"Would you like a cookie, dear?" My grandma offered me.

"Sure, thank you."

"No problem honey, baked them fresh for you! Would you like to see your room?"

My face brightened. "Sure, I would love to." I carried my backpack and my luggage upstairs with grandma to see my new room. We stopped at a white wooden door, and my grandma slowly opened it to reveal a pretty....good looking room.

The walls were purple, and there was a queen bed in the corner with a small wooden side table and lamp. There was also a white study table and chair, and a large wardrobe for my clothes. Not bad, looks a bit like a hotel room, but...it works.

"Here ya are, dear, feel free to get comfortable. I'll be downstairs with your mum and dad." Then, she left downstairs while I put my backpack and luggage near my bed and looked around. I rubbed my eyes. Honestly, more than anything, I could use a nap in my new bed. So, I pulled out a book, my reading glasses, and my phone and hopped into my bed. This isn't so bad....a nice room, good food, big house...I could get used to this.

I turned on my phone and saw something that made me feel gloomy again.

It was a bunch of texts from my friends in Dolton.

"Hey, Kas, hope ur having a good time! I miss u to pieces!"

"Kassy, u have no idea how much I miss you right now! We need to talk soon, text me"

"Hey Kas, it's me Jonas. I really miss you so much, and it feels so empty here without you. You were a part of me, and now its living in Chiswick...let me know how it is, and we can still text each other about our book updates, kay? Miss you baby"

I looked at the last text and nearly sobbed. I can't live in this empty place, it's not where I belong. Sure, there's a big house, and all the food, and my dad probably gets less panic attacks with his mum and dad around, but my life is gone. It's not with me.

A tear trickled down my cheek. Why did I have to fucking move to Chiswick?! My life is ruined, and no one's gonna end up being friends with me in this waste place. I swear, once I graduate, I'm getting my own life and going back home, back to Jonas.

I heard a knock. "Come in?"

The door slowly opened to show my mom, looking at me. "Kas, what's the matter?"

"Mom, I can't live here, I hate it here!!"

"How would you know, we just got here today! Give it a chance, alright honey? I know, it's hard for me too, but feel it for your dad. He'll live fine here. Isn't family your first priority?"

Fuck yeah, but my life? I guess that doesn't matter if it's wasted.

"Yes, mom."

"Good. Now, you can choose to eat a quick supper, or you can sleep. Your option. But tomorrow, rise and shine. Grandpa's taking you to see your new school."

My stomach lurched like it was hit by a bus.

"N-new school?"

"Yes, it's called the Harrodian. It's a very nice school, a bit like a private school--"

"Mom, a private school?! What the heck?!"

"Listen, Kas, it's an excellent school. You'll do great in it, meet lots os new people, and the best part...."

I listened anxiously, waiting to hear it.

"School Uniforms!!!"

My brain just exploded. No, not from excitement. From shock.

"Mooooom!! Nooooo!!!!" She put her finger to my lips, but I pushed it away. "I hate school uniforms! How could you do this? And a private school? I'm not that bad in academics that I need to be taught to it's finest. I've got full A grades!"

"You'll get used to it. And it's not meant to help under average kids, it's just a well-taught school."

"......Fine," I huffed. "But don't expect me to make friends with any of those rich British brats. I'd rather be friends with the characters in my novels."

My mom rolled her eyes. "Well then, sleeping or eating now?"

I covered myself in the bedcovers and didn't respond.

"Alright then, I'll consider that as sleeping. Rest well, Kasssandra."

How can I rest well when I'm about to go to a rich bratty private school? No fucking thanks.
