Evelyn's P.O.V

"Evelyn dear, be a doll and please go get the rest of the groceries for me." My mother ordered in her tiresome voice.

"Sure mom." I muttered before stepping out of the air conditioned house into the warm Florida air.

I picked up the last two bags of groceries and sat them where my mom had sat the others.

"Thanks honey." My mom gave me a warming smile. I nodded my head at her before sighing and then grabbing an apple out of one of the bags.

A hand was placed on my back a second later. "You okay sweetie?" My mom's now worried voice asked.

"Yeah mom, I'm fine. Just been a little stressed the last couple of weeks." My mom nodded her head in understanding.

"I know honey, but I promise things will get better. We're here in the nice, beautiful Florida weather. You can go swimming, surfing, scuba diving..." She trailed off. "It's nice that we live right on the beach!" She chirped.

"Yep." I mumbled out before leaving off to go to my room.

I took a bite out of my apple and opened the door to my semi big room. At least everything was unpacked already. I just hated how I moved from a small town, where you knew everybody, to a big city in Florida.

At least it was my senior year. Although, I missed my friends. I wish I could have just finished up my senior year at the least.

I didn't want to go to a new school tomorrow. It would be fine if it was the first day for everybody, but it's not. The school has been in session for about three weeks now.

My brother, Josh, was perfectly fine with it. But that was the thing with him. He goes with the flow. But that's not me. I worried about the smallest things.

A knock came at my door around eight o'clock. "Come in!" I shouted. My dad walked in. I put my book down that I was reading.

"Yeah?" I squeaked out.

"Oh it's nothing. Your mom just wanted me to check up on you and make sure you're ready for tomorrow." I sighed.

"Yeah, I think I am." I told him, even though I really wasn't emotionally prepared for it.

He nodded his head, and I was glad that he couldn't read my mind.

"That's good. Are you nervous?" He took a seat on the edge of my bed. It sank once he put his full weight on it.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I mean, why wouldn't I be? You guys moved our family from Montana, out to Florida in a span of two weeks. And now I have to start a new school."

If I sounded harsh, I didn't mean too. I was just a little angry that I couldn't have finished my year up of school. And I had to leave my friends behind. Plus, I was a little stressed with all that's happening. First, I was whisked away from my small town only a about a couple of weeks ago. Then, I had to help unpack and get registered for school. I didn't even know where my classes were. Gosh, I'm going to be so lost and lonely.

Way to make a first impression.

My dad gave me a kiss on my forehead before getting up to leave. "It'll be okay Eva." He said, giving me his famous nick name. He was about to close the door but he started to speak up again. "Everything happens for a reason." He closed the door after that.

Hmmm. So you're supposed to tell me that we moved here, to Florida, because my dad had a better chance at chasing his dream, was for a good reason? Uh, no thanks. If everything happens for a reason, I would still be back in Montana. But, no. My dad just had to follow his dream even though he already has two kids and a beautiful wife.

"Josh, you in there?" I knocked on the door to my brothers.

"Yeah you can come in." I heard from the other side. I opened the door and found him propped in his desk chair, on his laptop.

"Hey, you need something? Because I've got things to do." He teased.

I rolled my eyes as I sat on his bed. "Nah, just wanted to bug you, because you know, that's what sisters do best." I joked back with him.

Most people wouldn't know that Josh and I are brother and sister. Mostly because we don't fight or argue as much as other siblings do. But, also, because we don't look alike. While I have dark hair, Josh has light blonde.

"Well then, feel free to leave and never return." He mumbled under his breath.

"Are you nervous about tomorrow?" I blurted out to him after a couple moments of silence.

"Pssh, me nervous? It'd be like seeing a dog meow!"

I chuckled lightly. He was right. Like I said earlier, Josh just went with the flow of things.

I yawned. Josh had noticed me yawning and arched an eyebrow. "I'm guessing your tired, huh?" He asked me. I waved him off. Even after two weeks I was still getting used to the time change.

"Mom wants me to give you a ride to school tomorrow." I said.

"Wait, not fair! You get to drive her car to school?" I smirked, basking in the glory of being the older and more responsible sibling.

"Of course." I said proudly.

A pout flashed across his face. "Aww," I cooed. "Don't be jealous, you can't even drive yet. Maybe in the summertime when mom will let you." I gave him another smirk as he rolled his eyes at me.

"It's not fair though. She won't even let me practice driving! I'm 15 for Pete's sake! I'll be 16 soon!"

I laughed at his jealousy. "Whatever, go to bed you dork." I said while ruffling his hair.

"You're one to be talking." He muttered lowly.

I closed my door and turned out my light as I climbed into my cozy bed. I let my head rest on my pillow and laid there thinking about what the high school was going to be like. Would there be cliques? And possibly mean girls? Maybe I would find a boyfriend.

I snorted quietly. Yeah right. In my dreams. I had a tendency to date guys who were either really shy, or douche bags. And all I wanted to do was to just find the right guy, but it seems impossible.

It's fine though, because I just have to finish up my senior year, then I can focus on guys.
