Finding The Boy In The Player ((Book 1))

~~Chapter 1~~

Moving. That's a big step to do. Especially if you've been there almost your whole life. But, I was moving myself. No boxes for mom. No boxes for dad. Just five cardboard boxes for me. Little Daisy.

"Bye, Daisy. I'll miss you while you're gone" Reuben, my good friend since the end of sixth grade, gave me a tight big hug.

"Yeah, I'll miss you too" I muttered, giving him a sad hug.

Reuben helped me put some boxes in the car.

"Daisy, that the last of them?" my dad asked.

I nodded, closing the trunk of my car.

"Alright kiddo, let's go to your Aunt Jade's house before dusk" Dad said hopping in the driver's seat.

I got into the passengers side. Waving goodbye, to Reuben. Dad doing the same.

You see the only way my parents were safe about traveling to Aunt Jade's house, was by Dad waking me 4 o'clock in the morning and driving me to ValleyDale, himself.

The only reason why I was going to ValleyDale, for 11th grade (junior year), was because of Dad's work. He worked as a lawyer for really fancy people, because he was best at doing that job. And my mom wasn't with us half the time of my existence. She liked to travel the world to help take care of endangered animals. I only saw her like twice a month, if I was lucky. I know weird coupling, right?

But, I was okay going to ValleyDale. See, I had a best friend called Ethan Jefferson. That's until the sixth grade, when he moved away, next door, from my birth town. But, Ethan said we would keep contact after then. Which was a lie, because he stopped talking to me last year. I thought maybe it had to do with something with me. Like maybe he had something better to do than talking to me. But, I was sure Ethan was going to be at my new high school, since there was only one high school around where Aunt Jade lived.

"Aunt Jade!" I hugged her tight, leaping to her embrace.

"Hey, Darling!" she hugged me back eagerly. "You look beautiful!"

I liked aunt Jade. She was kind, helpful and very good with dates. Meaning she always gave me birthday presents.

"Hey, Molly" I cooed at my little cousin, who was standing in the doorway. She was only a year younger than I. But she looked really young with blonde hair and white skin and standing blue eyes.

"Hi, Daisy!" Molly said happy, running to me, for a hug.

"My, you look big!" I complimented her.

"You look prettier than the last time I saw you!" Molly argued.

Okay, so yeah, I got that a lot lately. Just because when I was little I was a tomboy. Yes, me a girl, was a tomboy, who liked to play sports and challenge boys and their prides. I mean, I think I still got it in me, still.

But, since Ethan left, I've turned into a complete girl! I mean I didn't challenge boys, except for old Reuben. But, otherwise, I didn't bother. It wasn't the same with out Ethan. Nowadays, I was wearing a jean jacket with a dress and 2 inch boots. Along with natural makeup. I wanted to fit in a lot more in the 'girl crowd'. I know it sounds dumb, but I wanted to at least make a friend who wasn't a boy.
