chapter three

"Home!" I yell as I walk though the door.
"Hi honey" my dad says as he hugs me. "How was school?" he asks. Finn flashes through my memory but I directly shake it off.

"Fine I guess" I say as I put my bag on the kitchen table. There were still a ton of boxes since we just moved here but that's okay. "Did you make any friends?" my dad asks. "Yeah I did, a girl. Her name is Sadie" I say smiling a bit.

"That's great sweetie. Can you get Sophie from upstairs? We're going to set the table" my dad says while getting plates out of a box. "Yeah sure" I say before I rush up the stairs.

I open the door to Sophie's  room and walk in to only find her staring at her phone. "We're going to set the table" I tell her. "Can you do it?" She says annoyed by my presence. "No Soph, we're all going to do it" I say sighing.

"Mom used to do it" she says looking up from her phone with puffy eyes. "Well mom's not here" I say before I slam her door shut.

I rush down stairs and get the knives and forks out of a box and put them on the table. Sophie has to understand mom isn't coming back and never will come back.

"Millie can you help me for a second?" dad asks from the kitchen. "Sure what's up?" I ask as I stand next to him. "Can you help me put this in the oven?" he asks me. I look at the food. "Dad are you sure you want to eat that?" I say as I look at the weird shape of meat.

My dad looks at it too and sighs. "Should we just order a pizza?" He asks. "Yeah sure, I'll call. I quickly dial the number and press the call button. Meanwhile Sophie walks down the stairs.

"Hi can I get one pepperoni and one mozzarella pizza please?" I ask through the phone. I gave my address and the pizza delivery guy was on his way.

"Good morning class, please get out your books so I can check your homework" our history teacher says.

My eyes scan the classroom only to notice that every seat was taken. Except for one, next to a guy that looked quite familiar. I sit down next to him and get my books out. "Are you Sadie's brother?" I ask quietly.

"Yeah, why?" The guy asks kindly.
"Hi I'm Millie, Sadie's friend" I say while holding out a hand for him to shake.
He shakes my hand with a smile on his lips. "Noah, nice to meet you" He says sweetly.

"So you're new here huh?" He asks. "Yeah, how did you know?" I asked curious. "My sister told me about you yesterday" he tells me. "What did she say?" I say while blushing.

"Nothing special, just that you're really nice" he says. "She didn't mention that you were this pretty" he says a little quieter than his tone before. I blush really hard at his comment and try to hide my face.

"Well we should probably pay attention now, before she yells at us" he says laughing a bit.
