"Please fasten your seatbelts we are landing in Ottawa Airport," The pilots 'deep voice came over the intercom as I clicked my seatbelt into place. A soft thud rocked the plane as it hits the asphalt and skids down the runway before reaching a halt. "You may now take off your seatbelts, we have landed in Ottawa, Canada. Give us a few minutes to get everything prepared for you to leave the plane," The co-pilot sighs into the microphone his voice sounded exhausted as it echoed through the intercom. The kids on the plane started to squirm around as their parents became restless. Five minutes passed before the voice came back saying we can depart from the plane as the doors open on the side. People started to shuffle out as I passed a screaming toddler who didn't seem to want to leave the plane. I look down at my phone as I enter the lobby of the airport.

 Dad: Hey I have to work late so I won't be able to pick you up. Sorry Lucy

Me: Should I call a taxi?

Dad: No I got someone to pick you up

Me: who?

Dad: Sarrah.

Me: Sarrah Courts????

Dad: Yes dear. Sarrah Courts, Is that a problem?

Me: no...

Dad: Good because she just called me saying she is pulling up to the airport now.

Me: okay. Love you 

bye.Dad: Bye sweetie.

 I tuck my phone into my back pocket and look around for Sarah. The very person I was best friends with until I moved 3,826 miles away to Marseille, France to live with my mom back in 8th grade. She was always there for me. She even cried when she heard I was moving. Of course, I didn't want to go but after the custody battle between my parents, I had no choice but to leave. I thought I would never be coming back but clearly, I was wrong seeing as I'm here in Canada the day before senior year starts. Somebody shouting snaps me out of my thoughts. "LUCY! Lucy Evans!" The loud female voice shouts over the crowd as I see her brown hair bouncing up and down searching through the crowd. "Sarah calms down," I walk over to her smiling. "Holy.... Wow you look really REALLY good Lucy," she shrieks "Um, thanks. You too. It's been ages," I say as she pulls me into a bone-crushing hug. "We should probably get going since it's a fairly long drive back to Richmond," she states before we both start walking out of the airport and into her grey Mercedes Benz. Richmond, A smaller town about 30 miles from Ottawa. A place I haven't set foot in since middle school. My father owned the mansion by the lake and he has been the only one living there since my mom left him, taking me with her. "Lucy are you hungry? We can go get some food I'll pay for it" She speaks as she again for the second time today snapping me out of my thoughts. "Um yea but I can pay, you don't have to pay," I speak up over the loud radio as we pass by cars on the crowded highway "I insist," she states simply. The car stays silent till we pull into a taco bell the lights looked bright and the inside was colorful yet it still looked dirty. Sarrah chattered in my ear as we walking into the building "Do you remember Blake? He is now captain of the soccer team," she asks"Yea I remember Blake. He was a geeky 8th grader with glasses and he kept spiking his hair up. He was always an overachiever though" "Yea he is actually really cute now though, he looks a lot less geeky," "Cool," I say slowly chewing on my crunchy taco"Yea and if you remember Loki Moore he is the hottest person in the school now, believe it or not," She says and I almost choke on the taco in shock. Loki Moore was and always will be a player but he was never hotter than Chase Powell who was a dark-haired wonder ever since 6th grade. Everyone wanted to date him. Well everyone but me"What happened to chase?" I ask slowly"Nothing happened to chase he is still hot but Loki is a bad boy whilst chase is kind of like the school golden boy" she replied simply"I'm gonna take it Loki is still rich as ever?" "Yep. doesn't he live in the lake mansion near yours?""Um. yea he does. His parents own Moore Co. clothes line they are filthy rich but they don't act snobby or anything. Mr. Toby Moore and Ms. Caroline Moore are really nice and Loki was always a goody two shoes""Well, he isn't anymore. The rumors are he is in a gang, not to mention he came to school higher than the empire state.""Wow," I reply in shock. That didn't sound like the Loki I used to know"Well now that we ate our food we should probably get back in the car and I'm sure you're probably tired so I put a pillow in the back of the car u can use that and sleep in the back if you want" She offers as she stands up and walking over to pay the bill before walking back over"Thanks, Sarah" I stifle a yawn as I realize how tired I actually am. As soon as we get back into the car she reaches into the backseat and pulls out a big fluffy pillow before starting to chatter into my ear again, as I make myself comfortable as her rambling becomes more like a background noise before I drift off.~~~~~"Lucy wake up, We are in Richmond now" Sarah screams into my ear as I jolt out of my seat"Urggggg, What the heck Sarah?" "Sorry." She gives me an apologetic look before I turn toward the window to take in my surroundings"Wow. It looks the same as it was when I left""Yea. Not many changes in a town full of rich people" I roll my eyes at Sarah's statement knowing full well her family was as wealthy as everyone else's"Sarah are you gonna drop me off at my house" as she chuckles"You call that a house?!?! That "house" is the 4nd biggest mansion in the country,""Yea.... But it's still a house.""Anywho, yes I'm dropping you off, Your father won't be home till 6 pm so you can hang with me in you want,""Nah, I'm gonna go drop by to see Ms.Moore and Mr.Moore seeing as they are like second parents to me""Okay," she says as I shut the car door, turn around and wave at her then walk to the door which is unlocked. Our Housekeeper rushed up to me and pulled me into a hug before I even knew what was happening"LUCY! I'm so glad your back" She shrieks in a high pitched voice"Calm down Diana,""I can't! It's been ages since I saw you last" "Well I'm back now so you should get used to it""How was France"I shrug in response"Meet any cute guys"Another shrug as my response"Well, I should let you get settled," She says nervously before leading me into my room as I drag my suitcase behind me. Pushing the door open I realize it's exactly as it was when I left it. Dark red walls with millions of quotes painted on the wall, The soft grey carpet was spotless and the canopy bed had dark grey sheer curtains separate me from my fluffy white blankets and sheets. I open the door to the bathroom and walk-in closet with my suitcase in tow. I enter the closet, Unzip my suitcase and start hanging my clothes which mostly consist of denim shorts, crop tops, sweatpants, and summer dresses. Before leaving the closet I slip out of my sweatpants and band tee shirt and slip into a white lacy summer dress with a little brown belt around the waist. I slip my phone into my bra and rush down the stairs to the front door slipping on some golden lace-up greek sandals before yelling at Diana that I'm going to the neighbors' house before slamming the door behind me. The humid summer air felt nice around me as I skip down the long brick driveway and walk the perimeter of the lake to the mansion across the lake. The grey mansion looked so beautiful and was bigger than my own. I step up to the door and knocking four times before the housekeeper opened the door"Hello Madeline""Ms.Evans? It's great to see you! Are you here to see Mrs. Moore?""Yes Madeline""She is in the family room, Do you remember where that is or do you need me to show you?""I know where it is,""Okay Good day, Ms. Evans"I walk past her through the marble foyer, through a hallway full of family pictures, and into a giant family room with mossy green walls, grey carpet, and a stone fireplace. On the couch sat a lady in her mid-forties with silvery blonde hair cut to her shoulders. "Lucy is that you my dear?" Her face lit up"Yes, Mrs.Moore it's me," "Oh please don't call me that you know it makes me feel old, whom many times do I have to tell you to just call me Kate,""I'm sorry Kate" "It's no problem my dear, how long have you been back in Richmond?""Not even an hour, I had to come to see you first,""Wow. That makes me feel so special""You always were like a second mother to me what do you expect?""I expected you to hang out with Sarrah, Levi, and Lori""Speaking of Lori where is she?""Does it look like I keep track of my children," "I have five children and I swear the twins Loki and Lori are by far the most troublesome," Ms.Moore says and the front door slams "MUM IM HOME!" Lori yells as she walks into the room"Lori Rachael Moore what have I told you about yelling in the house?" her mother demanded as Lori gave her a sly smile"Sorry." she says biting back laughter "who is this?" she nods toward me"Don't tell me you don't recognize her?" Ms.Moore looking shocked as she speaks"Nope. I have no Idea who she is mum""Lori. This is Lucy. Lucy Evans,""LUCY?!?! No way! Hun, you got hot over the years! I didn't even recognize you and that's saying something. You. look. Drop. dead. Gorgeous." "Um... Thanks, Lori" I laugh"You are coming with me NOW," she says as she drags me off the couch toward her room"Lori would you shut the hell up? I'm trying to sleep," A sleepy looking boy who looked exactly like the guy version of Lori came into the hallway"Loki do me a favor and fall asleep and NEVER WAKE UP" Lori screamed in her twin's ear"Who is that?" he spat"Its lucy." she simply replied looking bored"Lucy who?" "Evans""Wait for what? Lucy who left four years ago?""Wow I'm surprised you remember me," I intervene in the conversation peering out from behind Lori"How could I not remember you, you where one of the only popular people who were friends with my sister who actually was nice to me," he replied simply"Hmm that's true," I say in return"Hey, you know what I have to pick one of my friends up from the soccer field so I'll be back in like twenty minutes. Loki do you mind keeping Lucy company till I get back?" Lori says out of the blue"Sure," he grunted"Wait for what?" I didn't mean to be rude but Loki Moore is shirtless, tired, and has that 'I just woke up voice'. Need I mention his hair is strangely attractive messed up like that. Urg I really don't think I can handle this. My eyes wavered a little too long on his abs and he smirks at me the moment Lori left"You know if you wanted to check me out you could have asked," His cocky smirk growing even wider"Wow. I wasn't checking you out. Cocky much?" I glared into his Bright blue eyes"Sure, sure" Stepping closer to me"Um... Yea... I... " I stutter trying to back away from him but since we are in a hallway it didn't work very well and I back right into a wall. Trapped between a wall and Loki my situation doesn't look very good."Ha... haha... you know you didn't look anything like your sister in middle school... Now you guys look exactly alike. Even your hair has gotten... darker... Um... Well... I... I think its... Nice, you guys finally look like... twins.... Um..." My voice became higher pitched and almost like a whisper "Um... can you step back... please?" Do you know what his response was? He laughed. A breathy laugh. "What? What's funny?" I shiver at the proximity between me and Loki"Well, Kitty." He whispered his words into my ear letting his breath tickle my neck "It's funny watching you squirm like that. Good to know I have this... Effect on you" He chuckles and my thoughts scatter he still hasn't learned away and I don't like what he is doing to me. Two thoughts pop in my head. One. If he wants to tease I can be a tease Two. I can kick him where it will really hurt. Well, why not do both. I stopped shivering and gave him a sly smirk before pushing against his chest and whispering into his ear so close my lips were touching him. "I think you should.......... GO SCREW YOURSELF" I scream into his ear then kick him where the sun doesn't shine. "Lucy holy... that HURT" he says as he doubles over onto the ground in pain"Well that's what you get for cornering me""What are you a Football player?""American football or actual football?""Actual football, genius," He said sarcastically"Oh yea I played football till I left France, I was captain of the girls' team""That explains why you kick so hard" "Sorry... just don't corner me""I'll try to hold back"I roll my eyes in response"I hope your eyes get stuck like that." he groans"I hope you're not always this annoying" I replied while rolling my eyes again"Depends on the person, I guess," "Jerk," I state."Frenchie.""Moron.""Dork.""Pervert.""Kitty.""Player.""Aw Kitty that hurt just a bit" He clutched his heart as if I hurt him"Stop calling me 'kitty'. I don't like that nickname""Okay, kitty" He stands up and walks over to the door he first came out of and leaves me in the hallway alone.~~~~~~"I don't believe you actually did that to Loki!" Lori looks astonished as my legs dangle off her bed."Why is that so surprising?""Because nobody has turned Loki down since freshman year,""No wonder he is so cocky," I roll my eyes "Oh come on. It's not my fault you had a crush on my brother in 7th and 8th grade,""He is a completely different person now Lori,""So?""Urg my point is that he doesn't have to be an arrogant smartass 100% of the time,""Harsh much,""Why are you defending him?" I giggle as I look into her bright blue eyes as she shrugs and mutters something about family. My phone screen lit up and the message appeared on my lock screenDad: Honey Diana told me you went to the Moore house but I just got home and dinner's ready if you want to head backMe: I'll be home in 5 minutes"Hey Lori I got to go home, my dad just got home and I haven't exactly seen him face to face in 4 years," I turn to Lori who was watching me curiously"Kay but let me put my number on your phone," she grabs my phone typing in the number then handing me back my phone. The nickname above the number read 'Lori the Queen👑' I mentally roll my eyes before stuffing my phone back in my bra and yelling a quick goodbye to Mrs. Moore, rushing out the door and starting to run back home. Before I even know what happens I run into a wall. "Ow," I cry"Watch where you're going princessa," a deep voice growls from below me. Oh no... that wasn't a wall. I open my eyes to see a very angry dark-haired boy underneath me before I start blushing and sliding off of him. "I'm... I'm so sorry," wow. He looks familiar. His dark hair, tan skin, and baby blue eyes. Now imagine him 4 years younger with glasses and braces then you would get Blake Garcia"Blake?" I question"Look I don't know your name or when I hooked up with you but can you get the hell out of my way?" he spat back angrily I step up and slap him"Wow. No. No. No. Why would I EVER hook up with you, Shame on you for not even remembering your childhood friend, Nerd," "I have no idea who you are,""Shame I mean I guess it has been four years since I left for France,""Lucy?" He blinks at me in response "Wow. Good to know I left a memory, Welp buh-bye nerd,""Wait,""Why,""I'm sorry for thinking you were a hookup,""Not a problem, I just hope it means I'm pretty,""Eh, your not my type princessa," "Mind not calling me princessa before I hit you again" "You hit like a girl" He chuckles "Newsflash I am a girl," "You're as feisty as ever," "Urg why is everyone so cocky nowadays?" "What is that supposed to mean?" "Between you and Loki the cockiness is kinda overwhelming," "Wait you met Loki?" "Yea. What about it blakey wakey?" "Don't call me that," "Don't call me princessa" "Fine. Back on topic, Loki is bad news you should stay away from him," "You're not my dad, but if you must know I plan on it, Players aren't my type," I glare at him while saying the last part "That hurts a bit why you gotta assume I'm a player" He clutched his chest pretending it was hurting "Dunno," I mumble swiping through apps on my phone as he looks around nervously"Well, Luc I really got to go," "Where?""If I told you I would have to kill you," He says winking"Well I don't really wanna die so cya," I giggle walking back homeWhen I arrive at the house I notice two cars that weren't there earlier before opening the door and walking into the marble foyer to be greeted by my father rushing in to hug me"You're suffocating me," I cough as my little sister prances into the room, her eyes light up when she sees me. Oh, yea... so I may have forgotten to mention my sister had no idea that I was coming back to Canada for the rest of the year until I graduate and head off to uni seeing as the only universities I have applied for are in Canada or the united states. "Heya Laura," I say as the little eight year old comes barreling towards me and jumping up into my arms"Ugh. Laura, you're too heavy to be doing that," I gasp"Sorry," she giggles"Yea you don't look very sorry Laura," I mutter"WE SHOULD WATCH A MOVIE!" she shouts"Laura she hasn't eaten dinner yet," my dad voices over my sister's giggles"It's okay dad I'll eat later," I say"Let's watch The Lion King!" She screeches "You watch too many Disney movies," I groan"No I don't," She growls"Fine we will watch it but you have to go with me to Royal Courts," I smirk knowing she hates the amusement park. Royal Courts is an amusement park about 20 miles away from Richmond. "Nooooooooooooo," She groans"Well looks like I'm not watching The Lion King with you," I snicker.She replies by giving me an evil look before running up the spiraling staircase"I figured that would work," I turn to my father as he smiles at me"Your dinner is still on the counter," He says"Kay" I walk out of the room into the kitchen. A bowl of curry sits on the counter. He remembered it was my favorite. Wow. Even after all these years. I'm kind of impressed. After I eat a yawn escapes as I make my way up the staircase into my room. Greeted by the sight of my white fluffy bed I pull the curtains back before being consumed in the darkness of sleep.BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP"Urg," I groan. The worst noise in the universe. Its six in the morning and unfortunately for me, it's the first day of senior year. I wipe the sleep away and head off to the shower. I step out looking at the time, Crap! I've only got thirty minutes to get ready. I just let my hair air dry since its naturally straight with a little bit of wave. Grab a crop top hoodie and a pair of white jeans. Slipping on my vans I walk into the kitchen where my father stands twirling a pair of keys that he tosses at me"You got me a car?????" I look stunned"Yea. you're 17 I thought you might want to drive to school. It's the grey Ferrari in the garage. I'll have Diana drive it up to the front of the house for you,""Oh. my. God. You got me a Ferrari???""Yea..""Your the best dad," I hug him and run out of the door to see my new car. My jaw dropped to the floor. It's beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I get into the driver's seat and mentally scream with excitement before driving the 5-minute drive up to Richmond High. A big sign sat in front of the building. The royal blue plastic reflecting sunlight as I read 'Richmond High. Home of the Eagles'. As I step out of my car I catch a couple of football players smirking and staring at me. Throwing me seductive looks and ogling my new car, with all the attention of the football players I also got the attention of the cheerleaders and the other popular girls who sat and glared at me. "Hey cutie, you must be new," A low voice came from behind me as I turn around in shock. I come face to face with a blonde haired blue eyed boy towering over me. He was wearing a varsity jacket "Ummmmm yeah I'm new but I lived here four years ago," I reply back awkwardly"Interesting, what's your name?" He says flashing me a smile"Lucy Evans," "Well, I'm Chase,""I know. We went to middle school together,""Really?""Yea""I think I would remember someone as pretty as you," He flashes me another warm smile as I roll my eyes"Do you always walk up to poor unexpecting girls and flirt with them,""Not always,""Still the same old player aren't you?" I shake my head as I replyHe shrugs in response"I'm not that bad," He mutters"What's that supposed to mean?""It means Loki Moore is 100 times worse than I am,""I can tell," I grumble under my breath"You already have seen him?!?!""Yea he is my neighbor,""What?""Yea...""Loki has been saying something about his hot new neighbor who moved back in, apparently your friends with Lori and came over to the house,""Yea,""He also said he was hooking up with you after school today,""HE WHAT?!?!?! I am NOT hooking up with Loki,""Hmm well, I don't know he sounded pretty confident,""For the last time, I'm not hooking up with that wannabe badass,""You know I think I remember you, You used to have bright green braces didn't you?""Um... yea,""But after 8th grade, you moved to France, Bummer I honestly liked your attitude and you looked super adorable,""You actually noticed me?""Yup, Everyone called you Lu, You also still have the attitude you had back then. I guess that's what made you stand out, Anywho I've got to get to class before Mr.Bells has my head for being late, Cya" He waves over his shoulder before walking away into the school building. As if on cue all the football players followed with the blonde fakes chasing closely behind. I yawn as Lori starts waving me over to her matte black Cadillac. Sarrah sitting on the hood of the car while Levi and Lori are standing on the pavement smiling at me. Levi's long black hair was blowing around behind her as her tan skin glowed in the morning light. Curiously enough Loki stood smirking beside his sister with two other guys. I recognized Blake and I didn't know the other guy. Blake was watching Sarrah who was looking down at her phone while Loki and the other guy stared at me as I walked closer"Hey, Lucy!" Levi grabs me into a tight hug as she attempts to suffocate me"Hey Levi," I hug back as I speak but my eyes are still trained on Loki and the unnamed dude."Lori who is the other guy, I know Loki and Blake but I don't know who he is,""Oh, that's Kaden, Kaden Gray,""Interesting, hey Levi can you let me go now?" She lets me go and I walk over the very small distance to Loki and smack him across his face. I look up smirking examining the red mark I left."How about you get these through your thick skull. I'm. Not. Hooking. Up. With. You," I say in a cheerful voice before turning and skipping my way to the school building.
