nothing in common, stranger things

being new

-
will's pov

i hate this. i hate how fast it happened. one minute we were packing and the next we were saying goodbye. it's not like i had anyone to say goodbye to.

el had her friends but i didn't. sometimes i think i don't have any friends because i'm weird but the real reason probably is i keep to my self and she doesn't. i've been told that if it was up to our personality's, no one would be able to tell that we were twins. maybe our looks save it. or the fact that i always follow her around.

my mom tells me "you aren't conjoined at the rist, will". most of the time i rely on my sister to make my decisions for me,since she's the talkative one. i guess in some way my sisters my best friend. i don't think she see's me in that way.

sometimes i hear her talking to my parents,"can my friends come over?" she would ask. my mom's response would almost always be,"el you were born with a friend." and then she would quietly say something like,"i always hangout with will" or "but wills always here, i wanna hangout with someone new". at least she tried to be quiet about it so it would hurt my feelings, but maybe if she was a bit quieter i would have never heard. but still every time, i did.

i've never told her that i heard it because i didn't want to make her feel bad more than she already did about saying that stuff. i didn't only hangout with el though.

sometimes i would hangout with my brother and my mom but ever since zona was born she hasn't had time for me. i never spent time with my dad like my sister did. i don't know, ever since i was 3 or 4 i've never completely seen eye to eye with my dad. i think it's because i've never liked the boy-ish things he wanted me to, but el did.

dad says that he doesn't have favorites. but out of me and el, it's was definitely el.

most of the time i try to avoid being around him. it's easy when he has work but when he doesn't i either go to my room or go to the library.

i would mostly go to the library because el would alway have her friends over. due to being at the library i learned that mount everest isn't the tallest mountain in the world, before the renaissance orange was called "yellow-red", and every adult human body contains two to nine pounds of bacteria. oh and also that mrs.jones the librarian isn't happy with her family life.

me and my mom had drove down to els friends house to pick her up. el practically begged mom and dad to stay at her friend samantha's house. she said she wanted to have her last night here be spent with her "best friend".

els the kind of girl who calls everyone her best friend. even her favorite teacher.

when we pulled up to pick her up she was outside hugging samantha. she then turned around and walked towards the car. "i'll call you." she yelled once she got to the car,opening the van door. she climbed over me and sat down in the next "big" seat as we called it. then we pulled off heading back to our house. the first thing el said was "sam told me to tell you bye will." i kind of frowned my eyebrows. why would she wanna say bye to me. she didn't even know me. i just shook it off and didn't think about it longer than i needed to.

when we got back to my house we grabbed a couple more boxes and loaded them into the moving truck and then we were ready to go. "i call a big seat." zona called out.

"uh no your like 7 zona. your sitting in the back." my older brother jonathan said right after. "jonathan your getting front seat." my mom said.

"but isn't dad coming?" he asked. "you're dad has to drive the moving truck, and els riding with him." she soon replied. "plus your the best navigator." she added.

that meant that i would be stuck with zona for the whole ride. zona was basically a 'detective'or that's what my mom called him. he would ask non stop questions,"do you wanna play minecraft?" "can i play the games on your phone? the ones on my tablet are broken." "will what does that sigh say?" "mommy at the next gas station can i get a snack i'm hungry." "will when we get there can i sit in you're room?" "mommy how many more minutes?" "can you put on kiss FM?"

and jonathan would just mess with him the whole way and pretty much make him cry at least once.

the drive was an hour and almost 30 minutes. we only lived in illinois so the drive wasn't that long.

once we pulled into our drive way i had already decided i hate where we live. we lived in a small house that looked like it didn't even have two stories. our drive way started off as grass but then turned into dirt and rocks,and it's was right off a main road.

and the looks we go were the worst of it all. even though the people weren't looking directly at me (because tinted windows) i felt thoroughly judged by the expressions on their faces.

is this what being new feels like?

first chapter i hope you liked it! i promise it'll get more interesting.
