~Wednesday~

-Eyelyn's POV-

Well my mum just gave me the news yesterday and I was terrified but I got up and got ready for school, she was leaving on Friday. Mum asked me if I wanted to have friend to move in with me like 'that nice girl Eevee' but the problem with that was I didn't really have any friends that I would want to live with especially not Eevee.

My thoughts were interrupted by my mum screaming "come on Eyelyn time to walk to school" from the kitchen downstairs.

I slowly trudged down the stairs and out the front door.

Lachlan was standing on the footpath waiting for me with the goofiest smile.

A thought popped into my head, 'hey Lachlan's my friend'. The thought haunted me as we walked down the street.

Lachlan broke the silence with "you ok?".

"Huh, oh yeah I'm fine. Just thinking" I said still deep in my thoughts.

"Whatcha thinking about?" he asked me.

"Oh, umm, well" I stuttered.

He stopped and put one of his hands on my shoulder.

"Well, my mum's moving to Toronto for a year and I'll have to stay home alone for the whole year. I'm terrified of staying home alone, I can barely cope with a weekend" I blurted out.

"Well, I guess I could come stay with you, we are friends after all" he said smiling at me.

"Really, you would do that for me?" I asked surprised.

"Of course, if you needed me to I would".

"So you would be ok with moving in?" I asked again, I didn't think I really had any friends.

"Did you not hear me or something?" he laughed.

"Great, race ya" I yelled back as I ran as fast as I could towards the school.

-Once I reached school-

I ran to my class and sat down in my seat. Lachlan isn't in any of my classes, so I got out my phone and messaged him.

Eyelyn ~ I ran to class see you tomorrow or on the walk home 🙂.

Lachlan ~ That was a jag thing to do but ok.

I leaned back in my seat and waited for class to start.

-After school-

My last class today was drama so I walked out of the hall where we were practicing our play.

I plugged in my headphones, pressed shuffle play on Spotify and headed down the hallway towards the exit.

I turned the corner and saw Lachlan standing with two other boys, they seemed to be talking up a storm. They were also blocking the exit to the courtyard.

"Excuse me" I said as I pushed past them. I didn't even look up as I pushed past.

I was halfway between my house and school when my music stopped because a text came through. I pulled out my phone from my hoodie pocket, to check what it was.

Lachlan ~ Hey, sorry I couldn't walk home with you. I had a meeting to attend. I'll catch up with you tomorrow. K?

Eyelyn ~ It's ok.

Lachlan ~ Really?

Eyelyn ~ Yeah.

Lachlan ~ Ok. If you say so.

I put my phone back in my hoodie pocket, confident that the convection was over. It looked like it was going to rain so I picked up the pace and hurried towards home.

-Once I arrived home-

I unlocked the front door, walked in, sat my bag near the door and then finally looked up and saw my mum with someone else that I had never seen before sitting next to her.

"Hello?" I said as I walked towards them.

"Oh, hello, this is Preston" she told me, I was still so confused.

"Ummm, Hello?" I greeted.

"I didn't think it you would be ok if I left you alone for a whole year, so I though I would rent out one of the spare rooms we have" she replied to me.

I was shocked. She got me a room-mate. What about Lachlan? If there's one thing you should know about my mum, she loves money and she loves showing off how much money she has.

"Ummm, hi. Mum can I talk to you in the kitchen for a second?" I asked.

"Sure" she replied as she got up off the couch.

We both walked into the kitchen. The second we got in I quickly Shut the door so Preston couldn't hear us.

"You didn't think to tell me earlier?" I yelled quietly.

"Well, no, I just though of the idea today. He recently moved here from Texas. You should get to know him he seems nice" she argued back.

"Fine, I'll be nice" I replied with venom in my voice.

"Well, I'm going to bed, Night" I yelled as I ran up the stairs towards my bedroom.
