Hunters POV

If you were to drive straight there with no stops it would take almost a day to get to the small town in bumfuck nowhere Texas where we are moving to. We are making stops so it will take about two and a half days for us to make it there.

We are taking my dad's car down. My car is getting delivered this weekend with the stuff we couldn't fit in the car.

My dad met my stepmother while he was in Texas for a business meeting. She has a kid about my age named Ryan. My dad talks about Ryan going mudding and hiking with friends and how he thinks I would enjoy that. I dont even know what mudding is. My dad assured me that Ryan would help me get adjusted to my new home. I have no intention on adjusting. I just want to finish high school then move back home. Nothing can change thoes plans.

You can drive forever in Texas with the straight flat highways everywhere. Finally, I see the exit for Austin. We exit the highway and start to drive around city.

'This might not be too bad.' I think to my self as we drive the suburbs 30 minutes later.

'Never mind. This is gonna be bad.'

Another 30 minutes later, we are just passed the suburbs and pulling onto a rural highway. We continue to drive past farms and fields and empty space. Then I see a sign for a neighborhood.

The first thing I notice is the massive houses. The next thing I notice is how spread out they are and surrounded by trees.

We pull into a long driveway. It leads to a massive house with a massive garage. There are two jeeps parked in the driveway.

I make my way up to the door with my dad and we knock. You can hear lots of yelling and swearing coming from the inside. The door opens to reveal a woman who I assume is my dad's new wife, Jessie.

"Rick, Hunter. You made great time. Welcome to your new home." she says.

"Thanks," I say after my father nudges me in the ribs.

"Please come in. This is your home too now. "

We step inside and I see a some of the large home. Next to the door is a room with glass doors covers by shades. That's where all the yelling and coming from. Now that I am inside I can hear that they are playing a videogame.

"Ryan, come greet Rick and Hunter" she calls.

I am shocked when a girl with long dirty blonde hair is tan skin appears from the room. She is a quite a few inches shorter than I am. She greets my father first then says hey to me. I nod back. So Ryan is a girl. Guess I wasn't paying attention when my dad mentioned that.

"Ryan, how about you, Peyton, and Austin help him move his stuff up to his room," Jessie suggests.

Ryan nods and goes back into the game room. "Ryan and her friends will help you with your stuff." Jessie says as Ryan returns followed by her friends.

'This is just for a year' I say to myself.
