I was enthralled, I could not believe that Zoe was here, but it was about to get better. "Guess what!" Zoe said playfully, "What?" I asked. "I am officially a resident of South Carolina and you will no longer have to miss me because I only live a few houses down the road!" My jaw dropped, I was so excited that Zoe had moved here too.
I had left my family to unpack the rest of our things while Zoe and I went to drive around town to see what new things there would be to do. We moved to a town called Lake Wylie which was a far cry from New York City. However Charlotte North Carolina was only about 30 minutes from my new house which is a big city like they have in New York.
Zoe and I drove around until we came across a restaurant called T-Bones, a steakhouse style restaurant that sits on Lake Wylie so you can go outside and sit on a patio and have a view of the lake and the houses on it and the people on their boats and everything. The parking lot for T-Bones doubled as a boat launch so you could take trailer your boat there and put it in the lake from the parking lot of the restaurant. We drove to the parking lot, parked the car and got out and sat in the grass overlooking the lake. We sat and talked for hours about what new things we should do and what school is going to be like.
It was maybe 2 hours before Zoe and I decided to leave and go back home. She didnt want to go to her house so she just stayed at mine which was a common thing for her to do.
Once we had got back, she helped me set up my room, putting clothes in shelves and putting the bed next to the window, just where I like it. It was maybe 11:00 when we had entirely finshed so she just decided to sleep with me in my bed. A lot of people would have thought it to be awkward for two best friends of different sexes to sleep together in the same bed, but Zoe and I were both very comfortable with it, we'd cuddle and talk about nothing really important and laugh until we'd fall asleep, and that would be it.
The next few days went by easily and before I knew it, it was time for school to start.
6:00. My alarm goes off, time to get up. I get out of bed lazily and change into jeans and a t shirt. I go downstairs, eat breakfast then i go brush my teeth. I put my shoes on and wait for the bus to come. Once it finally arrives, I get on and look around for Zoe, she is sitting in the back by herself, she sees me and smiles. I walk over to her and say, "Party in the back right?" she raises her hands and goes "woo woo!" I laugh and sit next to her and put my arm around her.
As the ride went on, her and I began to notice that other people were gawking. Now i'm not one to brag, but Zoe is extremely attractive. I've told her multiple times that she could easily be on a fitness magazine or something. and I think some of the other guys on the bus had noticed that too. She leaned over to me and whispered, "Why are they all staring at us?" "Its alright, they are all just jealous because your too good for them and they cant have you." she looked at me and smiled then kissed my cheek, another common thing that we would do.
The rest of the day had went by pretty normally, Introducing myself to everyone and filling out 'About Me' papers. My parents and Zoe's parents had specially requested that we be in all the same classes which, surprisingly enough, they allowed.
Once the bus had dropped me off at my house, I walked inside and set my stuff down next to the table in the kitchen. I then went up to my room and got on my computer to check my Facebook. All i had was one new message. It was from a girl that was in one of my classes, it read, "Hey, you seem like a pretty cool guy, mind if I get to know you? -Savannah" 'that's interesting... I don't really remember a Savannah being in any of my classes.' I thought to myself. I replied back, "Sure! how are you doing?" We talked for a short time and I started to get to know her. She likes video games and exercising, she also likes coffee and shopping. "Typical." I said out loud without realizing it.
