I had fallen asleep in my mom's Jeep. We left home shortly after dad died... the only thing I have to remember him is from his army dog tags. But anyway, my name is Echo Flox. I am 16 years old. But what makes me different is that I'm actually half dragon. Neither of my parents could figure out why this is but they loved me. To keep me safe they didn't tell anyone.
"Echo. Echo sweetie, we're at our new house." My mom said in her gentle voice. I stirred and sat up rubbing my eyes. Blinking a few times to get used to the bright sun I seen the two story house we had gotten. "Isn't this a little to much for the both of us?" I ask getting out and helping my mother. "I thought so too, but I think it will be good for the both of us to have a lot of space" she sang as she opened the door. "And look on the bright side. You get to paint your room!" She said. I smiled slightly adjusting my glasses. After getting all the boxes into the house we took a break. It may not be much but I think I'll grow a liking to this little middle-of-nowhere town in Nevada. We have to wait for our furniture to get here so that will be a day or so. But at least I can get a proper layout of my new room and map out where I want my stuff. Speaking of room, I go upstairs to claim my room. I chose a room near the stairs but not to close to them. I then stand at the doorway mapping out my new room. It was spacious so I could put a lot in here. I walk downstairs to see my mother at the front door talking to someone. The woman she was talking to sounded as if she was middle aged but kind. I stayed on the bottom step waiting for the woman to leave. After that I go to my mother asking: "what are we going to have for dinner, Mother?" She looked at me and smiled. "What do you want, sweetie?" She asks. I think for a moment. It's a small town so there wouldn't be a lot here. " don't think to hard, you'll give thou'self a headache." I give an amused smile, I love Shakespeare. I often find myself reading poems and the plays he wrote.
After dinner we started getting our sleeping bags out so we can retire for the night.

The next morning my mom registered me into the high school. After eating we leave for a store so we can get some things I may need for school. I already had most so, don't need much. After that we went back to the house. My first day is Monday, that is four days away from today, Thursday. The moving company had came earlier then expecting which was a nice surprise. After tell them where I'd like my things and then leaving after two hours. I start with putting my things where they belong and getting my school stuff ready for my first day. To say I was excited was and overstatement. I was actually really nervous, mostly because I over heard some people that goes to the school I was enrolled into complain about a bully.
I just hope he doesn't notice me right off the bat. Heh.
