Ch.1- A fresh start

This was the only way to get away from my past. A new fresh start because I'm never going back. White Chapel was the small town that I found on the internet and this is where I was going to start my new life. It took me awhile to convince my parents to move from California to White Chapel but they finally gave in. I wasn't too sad about leaving my home.

I was halfway on the plane ride to White Chapel. I looked over at my parents who were both on their laptops working. That's all my parents thought about since they became CEO's of two major companies. They were barely in my life.

The plane had landed next to a small airport where we claimed our luggage. When we got outside, I was thinking a cab was going to pick us up, I was wrong. A long, black limo pulled up next to us and our driver got out of the car and started to put our luggage away as my parents got in the limo. My dad signaled me to get in so I slowly made my way.

We passed so many buildings that made it feel welcoming. This was so much different than California. There weren't too many cars on the roads, I guess people liked to walk to places. I loved the scenery here. So beautiful. The limo had passed White Chapel High School, the school I was going to attend on Monday, which was tomorrow. The school was so cute-looking, I couldn't wait to start and meet new people. The limo finally stopped at a house with a gate. I had a bad feeling that this was my house. No other house in White Chapel had a gate around it.

I couldn't wait to explore White Chapel.

"Mom, dad, I think we should go out for some pizza for dinner. Sound good?" I asked as I got out of the limo.

"Sorry, hunny, I have some important business calls to attend to," Mom responded not even looking at me.

"Dad?"

"Not today, I have to get the proposal done by tonight, maybe next time," Dad said as he petted my head and walked inside our new house.

I wasn't too bummed about this. This happens all the time but it was worth asking.

"Well, don't worry about me, I'm just gonna head over to that pizza place I saw in downtown." I said but I was pretty sure they didn't even hear me.

"Miss, I'd be happy to give you a ride," said the limo driver, Neal.

"No thanks, but thank you." I started to walk. It sort of felt like forever walking to the pizza place. The town was so peaceful. On some of the walls of the buildings had Dusk posters. I guess this town was into vampire stuff. I wasn't really into vampire stuff, I was more into the paranormal stuff like ghosts. By the time I reached the pizza place, the night had begun. I opened the door and the smell of fresh pizza coming out of the oven smelled so delicious. I couldn't wait to eat. I looked at the menu, there were so many choicest to pick.

I made the order to the cashier and sat at an empty table near the window.

I overheard a conversation two guys were having sitting in front of me. They looked like they would be in high school. One guy had black hair and the other had brown hair and looked pretty tall but couldn't see his face .

"I'm telling you Ethan, there's no way a girl can resist this," the brown haired boy pointed to himself.

"Whatever you say, Benny," Ethan said.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop on their conversation but they were talking pretty loud.

"Here's your pizza, miss," the pizza worker said to me and I thanked him as he walked away. I guess when I thanked, I think I said that really loud because the two boys looked at me. The brown-haired boy turned to where I saw his face. We made eye contact and he smiled.

He sat in an empty chair at my table.

"Hey, I've never seen you around White Chapel. The name's Benny."

"Well, that's because I just moved here today, and the name's Arianna," I said smiling.

"Arianna, I've never heard that name before-"

"Benny, we have to meet Sarah at that place remember," Ethan interrupted.

"That's Ethan, well maybe I'll see you tomorrow at school," Benny smiled and winked as he started to get up.

"Maybe you will," I couldn't help but smile when I said that as he walked off with Ethan. I knew I was going to like this place.
