Why?

Chapter One: The Incident

I woke up with a start from my awful dream that I just had remebering that event.

I yawn and streched out my arms and legs and began to search for my phone. My phone was the most precious thing in my life other than my family.

Once I found it I jumped out of bed and made my way downstairs to where I the lovely smell of Evie's cooking was coming from. Evie was, lets say, my 'mom'. My father told her to look after me when I was to travel to America to live there, she was like my nanny.

"Mornin Evie!" I said cheerfully to her now cheerd up by her great cooking. She smiled and nodded at me and set down my breakfast if scrambled eggs and bacon with orange juice. I tucked in to my breakfast thinking on how it was even possible to make food this good, when a knock came from the the door.

We shared a confused look before I placed my fork down and cautiously made my way to the door. It wad a Saturday so Its not often we get a visitor here since we are kinda hidden in the bushes.

I peeped through the peep hole and saw a head of ginger hair and firery hazep eyes.

What a mix?

I put on a smile and open the door to be staring at a full blown smile.

"Hi, Im Masie your neighbour and I thought it would be nice to introuduce myself to you and hopefully show you around?" The girl, Masie, rambles on as she nervously tucks a strand of ginger hair behind her ear occasionly.

I instanly took a liking to her. She was shy, sweet and funny all in one just like me.

"Of course I would, Im Kyra by the way!" I reply and her smile instantly lights up and so does her face. I tell her to come in and take a seat one couch as I go get ready.

I bound up the stairs and change in to a aztec tank top and denim wash shorts and tye my hair up into a mid way pony. I apply some mascara,lipgloss and spray some of my grapefruit and mango body spray.

With my royal blue sandals on I ho back down the stairs to see Masie talking with my Nan. I smile thinking about how we could be friends, but also how easily I could lose her if I tell her about my past.

Just hold on, when I trust her then I will let her in.

She spots me and waves me over signaling that we should start to head out. I make my way to Evie and tap her on the sholder.

"Hey nan, Masie gonna show me around the town, we will be back soon" I explain while grabbing my phone and purse and tucking it in to my pocket.

"Ok, call me when your coming back see you later honey" she kisses ne on the cheek then I head to the front door where Masie is waiting texting someone.

"Hey" I say and she looks up from her phone.

"Hi, lets get going!" She took me by the arm and we raced down the path giggling and tripping over eachothers feet until we reached the open road and started walking along the crowded streets of America.

We started walking side by side playing 20 questions and I found out her name was Masie Miller, her favourite colour was green and her parents owened a very sucsessful laywer buissness making her basically rich.

She found out from me that my name was Kyra Handley and my favourite colour was royal blue.

She can't fund out about my parents, not yet.

"So what school will you be going to" she asked as we sat at our booth in a near by diner.

"Oh, Ridge Mount High, ever heard of it?"

"Of course you idiot, its the only school for miles!" She ephisises the last word with her raised eyebrows making me giggle slightly.

I continue downing my Oreo milkshake as she studies my face, making ne slightly unconfortable but then she finnaly speaks up.

"I can tell already Nicole is not going to like you, its obvious"

I scrunch up my eyebrows as my stomach drops.

I knew I would never fit in, im mean look at me?!

"Im mean look at you," she continus oblivious to my discomfort, "your stunning, perfect long brown hair and beautiful green eyes not to forget your sunkissed skin! You will totally out win her as the preetiest you know!"
