The New Girl

The New Girl: Chapter 1

It was a Saturday afternoon when August and Kathleen Omega-Bliss returned to their residence with Becky Lynch.

"You've gotta be kidding me." Becky said as she looked out the window in disbelief.

Kathleen laughed to herself.

"It was my parents home. They gave it to us when they retired." Kathleen told her.

Becky was at a loss for words as August parked the car.

"Damn." She said as she got out to get a better look.

Kenny and Alexa walked outside while August and Kathleen got Becky's things from the trunk.

"How was the flight?" Kenny asked.

"Boring as hell." Becky told him.

Kenny laughed and greeted her with a hug. Alexa flashed a polite smile as Becky watched August rolling her suitcase.

"So what's the return policy on me? Do you guys get like a two week trial or something?" Becky joked.

Kathleen let out an uncomfortable smile and followed August inside with a few of Becky's things in hand.

"So what do you guys have planned for tonight? Any parties?" Becky asked.

"You just got here.. You really think now is the best time to party?" Alexa asked.

"Trust me, I won't be here very long." Becky said before walking between them.

Kenny and Alexa looked back as Becky walked into the house.

All that afternoon Alexa showed Becky around the residence.

"And this your room." Alexa said.

"If I actually lived here I would probably get lost going to the bathroom." Becky laughed.

"But you do live here, now. I mean that is the whole point of you getting adopted." Alexa told her.

"No one has signed any papers yet and by this time tomorrow I'll be back on a plane to Dublin." Becky said.

Alexa looked at her in confusion for a moment.

"My parents have spent the past year visiting you at the Orphanage. If this wasn't something they wanted to do they wouldn't have gone through all that trouble." Alexa said.

"Look they don't really want me, okay? They think they do but in reality they just want their other rich friends to think they're good people. It's about their image, not me." Becky told her.

"I don't think that's-" Alexa tried to say before Becky interrupted her.

"So, where's the party?" Becky asked her.

Alexa looked at Becky with an unsettling feeling in her stomach, knowing that whatever happened next wasn't going to be good.

That night Becky walked downstairs in jeans and a black crop top with her hair curled down. Kathleen had just finished setting the table when Alexa walked down behind Becky wearing a tight, black leather dress with her hair up. August looked up from the table uncomfortably.

"Dinner is ready." Kathleen told them.

"We're actually going to a party tonight. Is that okay?" Alexa asked.

Kathleen and August looked at them in confusion.

"But it's Rebecca's first night with us. I thought we could all have a nice dinner, you know as a family?" Kathleen said.
