Riley's pov:

This love story starts in a car.

Trees moving fast and slow depending on the speed of the car, sun shining through the cracks of the nature. My music blasting in my ear phones but despite that I can see my mum getting fustrated at the fact I'm not listening to her. Finally she rips my ears phones out, and I just snatch them back off her.

"Riley! Look I know you're upset but you gotta understand-" she starts but I cut her off

"Understand, what? The fact that you rather rip apart my life for money"

"No that's not it, Riley you gotta hear me out" but I didn't care about what she had to say and put my earphones back in.

Finally we arrived at our destination. This huge mansion with security like the queen. And a man with a girl similar to my age standing in front of it. The man looked like my mother's age, he has a suit on and looked like a millionaire. And the girl. She has a nose piercing, and some black skinny jeans and a white t-shirt with a leather jacket. She has black/dark brown hair and blue eyes; like ice. She has no make up apart from some lip balm and a bunch of rings on her fingers. She's bea-

"Riley!? Are you listening? You must behave, that's my boss and his daughter" my mum explains

I just nod carelessly. Thinking about what I was about to say before my mother snapped me out.

We walk towards the mansion and the man comes greets us. "Welcome, I'm Henry the owner of this house-"

I laugh and he looks at me confused "House? This is a mansion, sir" i say and my mother nudges me

And says "Sorry for my daughter she's had a rough time recently"

Henry shakes his head "No worries. Please call me Henry cause sir sounds too posh" he says that last part looking at me, I smile lightly "This is my daughter, Alex, hopefully you'll get on nicely, she's only older by a year, anyway let's go inside so you can see your bedrooms and unpack".

We got a rough guide of the house and then Henry said that I'm good to start unpacking. That's what I did.

The first thing I do is plug in my speaker and put some music on. I started off by rearranging a few bits and then I went on putting things in the right place.

I took a little break from unpacking and went on my phone.

*Knock knock*

"Come in" I say and the door opens showing Alex

"Ermm, dinner is ready" She states

"Thanks but I'm not hungry" I say

"Your mum warned me you'd say that so she gave me permission to drag you down stairs" she adds

I rolled my eyes "Fine I'll come"

"Cheers I've damaged my back yesterday so I'd probably fall or actually break my back if I'd pick you up. Not that you're heavy but it's the fact my back is weak"

I smiled and she smiled back.

We walk to the dining room in comfortable silence.

I sit next to my mum and Henry is opposite me with Alex opposite my mum.

Food is served and everyone starts eating in silence.

"So" Henry starts,everyone looks up at him "How is the unpacking? Do you like the room?" Looking at me.

"It's a nice room, very spacious. I love how big the window sill is; I'm planning on making it my reading spot with cushions and blankets" I explain
