Against all odds

Chapter 2

Grace

So I finally got to California today. Turns out that I had to stay with a foreign family for a while.

I didn't really mind because I thought it was fun. The mum came to pick me up from the airport and she was super nice to me.

She introduced herself to me as Mrs Adams.

It was a long drive to where the Adams lived so I kept myself busy by staring out the window.

We got to the Adams' residence about an hour later. A young girl came out and introduced herself to me as Stacy.

"Hi,it's so nice to have you here. My name's Stacy." She said

"Nice to meet you Stacy. My name is  Grace. "I replied  and she helped me take my bags inside.

She was  talking nonstop and I didn't mind it one bit. She was telling me about her elder brother, Stanley who apparently  was coming back home today

She even showed me a picture of him and I have to admit, he was really  cute.

I walked around her room a bit and I found a picture of a boy on her dresser and it wasn't  Stanley so I decided to ask her who  he was.

She suddenly  started crying and I wondered why.

"Hey Stacy, what's wrong?"

"That's my brother, Jackson. He died a few years ago."

"Oh,I'm so sorry I asked. "

"It's not your fault. You were just curious. Anyway, let's go and eat."

"Great,I'm starving."

We went  downstairs to eat. Thankfully she had ordered  pizza so at least I could eat that because I had no idea what the other things on the table were.

We were about to start eating when the door opened, revealing  Stanley.

Damn,he was finer in person.

I didn't  notice  I was still staring at him until he spoke to me.

"Like what you see?" He asked, touching my shoulder

I almost fainted.
