Chapter 2 =D

I didn't tire myself too much it wasn't that far, probably a quarter mile up the road. As I was walking up to my front steps the door burst opened, I stumbled surprised and looked up. It revealed my mum standing there looking me up and down with her hand on her hip and clicking her tongue. Uh-oh, what have I done this time.

"Where the f-f-flipping heck have you been!" She was raising her her eyebrows testing my reaction.

My lip trembled a little, I was going to laugh I knew I was. See my mum has said she is turning over a new leaf and is going to re-frame from cursing. I could tell she was struggling and couldn't take her seriously. I started laughing, I couldn't help myself, she was standing there with a serious face, I could almost imagine her puffing her cheeks and flaring her nostrils like a bull. This made me laugh harder. I knew I was testing her patience, but what the heck. I sobered from my fit and settled for a small chuckle.

"wow, chill I was only at the beach" I patted her on the shoulder as I walked through the threshold. I have to admit, I love the new house. It is a cute cottage/ bungalow with 3 en suite bedrooms. WOO! I finally don't need to share a bathroom with my little brother Joshua. Well biologically he isn't my brother. See I'm adopted, but rather than pondering on who my birth parents are I just enjoy the ones I have now. Why would I waste my time finding someone who didn't want me? I find it very pointless. And Charlotte (mum) and James (dad) adopted me when I was a baby so really I believe that whoever raised you is your parents and these two are the perfect pair.

"Hope Andi McCormack!" YAWZA! The full name game, I must have done something wrong. It wasn't my real name but we had decided to just say that instead but on any legal papers I was Bradley. I had walked half way to my bedroom but turned tentively and waited for the rath that was sure to come.

"OK, what did I do?" I sighed.

"You! Young lady, just walts off, not thinking about telling your poor mother where you where going when you were supposed to help unpack"

Laughing I said "I got called by my full name because of that? Ha!" She stared at me but I saw the small smile tugging at her lips. "Oh mamma!" *dramatic sigh* "I'am truely sorry I shall never leave this house again, to check out talent at our new beaches" I pretend to stumble over to her, clutching my stomach like I'm in pain and whisper to her. "And now for my finally. Tell Joshua that he can... NOT have my Ipod" *play dead*.

I feel the rumble of laughter from her chest and peek out of one eye to look at her face.

"You're not a very good actor, you have to wait till the audience start clapping before you move. " Phew! I'm in the clear. I stood up and hugged her before running for my room. I skidded to a stop before The wall mad impact with my face. My room was really big, nearly twice the size it was in our old apartment. There was boxes scattered everywhere. I guess I better unpack, this may take a while.

I have so many memories that lie in these boxes. All the pictures of Lillian (best friend) and Me, the water fights Lillian, Caitlin, Scott, Trevor and I had and the sleepovers. Oh gosh I'm going to miss them. Push the thoughts aside I started to unpack and had finished roughly around 6. I walked down the hall, leaving my bedroom and living room behind heading for the kitchen. I was starving. Who knew that unpacking could be such hungary work, but it also probably had something to do with the fact that I had nearly drowned earlier. That brought me to think about Jesse. Would I get to see him again? When I heard humming I yanked open the fidge and stuck my head in pretending to search for food, but really I was trying to cool down the blood that was suddenly in my cheeks. It sucked that I blush so much!

"Hey mum? What we having for dinner?"

"I was thinking a Chinese but I know you don't like that so I could make you something"

Sigh. Well that would go down to well with me stomach, might I add that any home cooked meal my mum makes has to be ready made or it will be ready burned.

"It's OK. I'll just make toast or something"

"Soo, did you see any?" She said lifting her eyebrows but there was a smile enveloping her face.

"See any what?" I asked confused.

"Talent, you know, cute boy's?" She was giggling like a total girl. My cheeks gave it away by flaming up "Oh, there was wasn't there! So whats his name" She squealed.

"Whats who's name?!" My dad had just walked into the room. I wish I could crawl under a rock right now. I've been told since I was twelve that I wasn't to date till I was 17 *major eye roll*. I mean come on, what twelve year old would start dating then and there.

"Nothing! And No one, I will just be leaving" Curse my pink cheeks! I grabbed an apple from the bowl and a cookie and headed out. I heard them laughing from the kitchen as I walked back to my room. After finishing my apple and cookie I changed into slacks and a t-shirt, and pulled out my laptop from its case. I better check my emails. I said to Lillian that I would write to her once I got settled in.

message from - L1ll!ianBabez: HEy! How's the house? Are you having fun? Whats there to do over there so I have some clue of what I'll be doing when I see you next weekend?! Can't wait to see ya. Write back soon biatch... hehe kidding love ya :)

I quickly wrote that the house was great and that it was OK here, and couldn't wait to see her too, then I turned the laptop off and sat it on my night stand. I turned the light of and jumped into bed, sleep evaded me and I didn't wake up once which was a surprisee. I'm a restless sleeper.
