Chapter 1 NEW

*********************************

Sam (P.o.V)

We left. we left my old home for this new, better life .

Why? Know one tells me. It was just my mother and little brother who packed everything and decided to move to another state because my mom got a better job offer. she said the money was too good to refuse .

I missed my friends . I've known a hand full of them since I was 6 years old, we all went to the same pre-school to high school . To top off this depression of leaving my old life , I was starting school pretty late in the school year .

I was currently sitting in the moving car as my mother told me the benefits of moving here.

"Samantha, it's a lovely town. Look! " I never said I didn't like the place, I just didn't want to move. the idea of moving bothered me soooo much.

As my mother continued to give me fun facts about our town black river , we pulled up a drive way of a fairly big house.

I'm not going to say that my family is wealthy , but for a single mother of two kids, my mom made good money . She just wanted the best for us , especially since my dad left 7 years ago.

Once out the car, mother gave me the key to the door and we walked in into our new home.

Movers had came a few days ago and already put our furniture in the house and brought over my car.

All we had were boxes of clothes,kitchen equipment ,books etc.

I went upstairs to my room , at the far end of the hallway with some boxes of mine and was quite surprised .

My room was painted lavender and my cherry oak queen sized bed was in the corner near my window with a beautiful view of the forest.

After finishing unpacking all of my things, I went down stairs for dinner with the family. For dinner we ordered take out.

"Sammie , can you pass the duck sauce ?" My brother Sean asked .

Sean was only 7 years old when my dad left.

He always thought that dad was going to come back , but he never did and as the years gone by, Sean's hatred for our father has grown.

Now every time someone asks about him , Sean tells them he died. Not like we would know since he's never contacted us.

Now Sean is 14 and I'm 17 and we both act pretty mature for our age. Sometimes.

Once we cleaned up after dinner , we called it a night since we start school tomorrow. It was already January ,and I knew I was going to be the "new girl". I was more worried about how the day was going to go then nervous .

Walking into my room I passed my stand-up mirror and stopped to look at myself.

I had dark chocolate skin, average height (5/8) I was pretty fit, not buff or anything but I was in okay shape with curves. I had black, shoulder when i straightened my hair. I thought I looked pretty , but sometimes I get insecure. That goes to father of the year. He used to make me feel unwanted.

Worst father ever.

With that, I got ready for bed and texted some of my friends from back home then went to bed.

I just hoped that tomorrow wouldn't be so bad.

Next day *************************************************************************

I woke up around 6:45 a.m to get ready for my first day. After getting out the shower, I dried up and threw on some loose ripped  jeans with drawn star printed leggings underneath, and a fitted black turtle neck. I put on some of my favorite silver chains to complete my hipster look.
