Waiting For The Right Time

Chapter 1

Growing up Sydney was always in the spotlight meanwhile her older brother Daniel is loud, confident and popular so he is usually out with his mates drinking and only come home for dinner and to sleep.

Sydney's deep brown hair dangles down to just above her hips and she has amazing eyes that are a mix of green, blue, gray and brown. Sydney likes to keep healthy so she prepares a fresh, mostly green salad for herself everyday. As she was cutting her Celery for today's salad she heard the familiar boom of her brothers best friends bmw as it comes around the corner. The glossy black paintwork reflects the sun as it bumps up onto the kirb. He climbs out of the two-door car and walks over to the window "Boo" he shouts, poking his head through the window that he has opened as wide as it will go. She rolls her eyes and carries on cutting the cucumber in to fine slices with the large and sharp knife. He winces everytime she cuts through it and says "your a bit young to be using a knife like that aren't you". She's 15 but she's mature for her age so it doesn't bother her. The front door shuts with a slam and echoes through the house. "you alright" Toby asks as he pushes his short black hair to the side and helps himself to some leftovers from yesterdays spaghetti bolognese. He slides the draw open and grabs a fork and tucks into it. "yeah I'm good" as she bites her lip watching every movement he makes.

Toby has a girlfriend and obviously Sydney hates her. She doesn't think they will last long but they have been together for a year. She wishes camila wasn't with him but even if she wasn't it's not like Sydney would tell him how she feels. Besides Toby is nearly 24 she couldn't be with him anyway.

He is always around her house since her brother and him are so close. It makes her miss him even more when he travels for work but he enjoys it so in a way she likes it but she just wishes it wasn't so far away and for so long. He usually leaves for a month and comes back for a month and then does it all over again. A month might not seem like a long time but to her it feels like forever. The only people she can talk to about how much she misses him are her friends but at the moment with school shut due to coronavirus she hasn't seen them for 6 months.
