Hello Everybody!
Okay, I know it's been a while since I last updated, well, anything.
No wait, I just checked and I recently updated THE TITELESS TITLE like 13 days ago? And I finished that story.
Actually, I've finished pretty much ALL my stories!
So HA! I do not have the need to feel guilty anymore (Grins evilly)
But anyway, I legit just woke up and grabbed my laptop because I had a new story idea, and the thing is I sometimes forget the whole idea, so these past few weeks I'd always think of a great story idea, but by the time I actually have the chance to write something, it's gone, into the bloody thin air and its SO annoying!
But I'm just going to start writing the actual story before I forget it again.
Hope you enjoy!
CHAPTER 1
NO POV
Flora walked down the street looking for the house that she'd be babysitting in. she checked her phone and looked at the address that was shown on her screen.
But she couldn't find it anywhere,
"Dammit! This is just Bull!" She groaned.
Then a small group of people walked up to her, there were 2 girls and 3 boys.
"Hi, I'm Grace, umm, I couldn't help but notice that familiar lost face, are you looking for something?" one of the girls asked her.
"Uh, yeah, umm, I'm looking for this address, I don't even know if I'm on the right street," She sighed showing her her phone.
"Nice phone case, ummm, yeah, just turn right after that corner and you'll see a small street, the one on the far left end with a red post box is the house you're looking for," the other girl smiled.
Flora looked at her and raised her eyebrow,
"My parents are friends with them," she explained.
"Right, okay, Uhh, thanks," I smiled.
"I'm Amy by the way, this is Dylan, Marco, and Adrian and, umm, well, Grace," Amy introduced.
A chorus of HI's and hello's filled the air.
"I'm Flora," She smiled.
"Hey, haven't seen you here before, have I?" Dylan asked staring at her lips.
Flora bit her lip and grinned.
"I shouldn't think so, I moved here a few days ago from L.A,"
"OH!" The group chorused.
"You're really pretty by the way," Marco grinned. The boys all nodded their heads rapidly.
"Thank you! Umm, I should get going, nice meeting you," Flora smiled before walking off.
"Marco you idiot!" Grace and Amy yelled.
"What? What'd he do?" Adrian asked.
"You scared her off," Amy said turning to look at Flora.
"Well sorry for telling the truth, and plus, it's not like you weren't thinking it though!" Marco defended.
"Yes, well," Amy started thinking for something to say to him, "Okay whatever,"
The 3 boys snickered and Amy and Grace just rolled their eyes.
…
FLORA'S POV
I walked up to the Dorman's doorstep and rang the doorbell to their house.
The door swung open and revealed a middle-aged lady with short blonde hair that was curled, with baby blue eyes. She was really skinny and seemed very nice and kind.
She smiled at me, "Hi, you must be Flora, I'm Alison, come on in,"
I smiled shyly and followed her into her house.
We walked into a cozy sitting room, and sitting there was a middle-aged man, with Dark blue coloured hair and dark blue eyes, and sitting next to him was a small 7 year old girl with long blonde hair tied up into a long plait down her back, she had hazel brown eyes and an adorable smile plastered across her face, she was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and a book in her hands.
"Tom, the babysitters here," Alison said.
"Tom" looked up and so did the little girl, they both gave me a welcoming smile and I returned it.
"Okay then, Flora we'll be leaving now, HELIA! WE'RE LEAVING! THE BABYSITTERS HERE! Her bedtime is 9 and we should be back by 10, if you need anything our numbers are on the fridge, feel free to help yourself to any of the food in the kitchen, Chloe has already eaten dinner, she won't be much trouble, you might as well sit down and talk to your boyfriend or something," She smiled and winked at me, "But, please, make yourself at home, bye honey, oh wait! Please don't run away like all the other teenage babysitters we've had, okay bye!" She kissed Chloe's cheek and then they walked out the door and closed it behind them.
I turned to look at Chloe, she was too pretty to be a 7 year old though.
"Hi Chloe, I'm Flora, how are you?" I asked.
"I'm great, I like your name, you're really pretty, well you must have been told that by so many people already, I'm sorry if I'm talking too much, I'll shut up now," She said super-fast.
I grinned at her.
"You know what Chloe? I think I like you even more now," I laughed.
"Really? Because I tend to scare off a LOT of babysitters when I start ranting on about really dumb things," She said shyly.
"Don't worry, you remind me a lot about myself," I smiled sitting next to her on the sofa.
"Really?" She asked enthusiastic.
"Oh Ya! Tell me, what do you like?" I asked.
"Well, I love music; reading, learning new things, nature, sports, video games, bored games, TV, food, sunsets, Pizza, my brother, yeah, that's pretty much it," she said nodding her head.
I looked at her awestruck.
"Wow, you're like a mini me! Okay, what do you like about music?" I asked.
"EVERYTHING! The singing, the dancing, I love playing instruments, I can play the guitar, piano and the violin," She said.
"Wow, that's amazing!" I grinned.
"What about you Flora? What do you play?" She asked.
"Well, when I was your age, I learnt how to play the violin and the piano, and then when I grew up I found an interest in playing the drum kit and the piano, and now I'm learning how to play the guitar, and after that I'll try out the flute, and like you, I can sing and dance," I smiled.
I looked at Chloe and her mouth fell open.
"I've only known you for a barely 5 minutes and you're already my idol," She said in awe. I laughed.
"Tell me more about yourself Flora! I want to know everything!" She pleaded.
I grinned, "Well, like you, I love sports, basketball, football (Soccer), baseball, hockey, cricket, swimming and gymnastics, my favorite colours are red and black, I love learning new things and meeting new people, umm I love watching movies and I love pizza, OH and I like sleeping, yup, that's all, I think," I said, "Wow this is hard, I've never felt the need to explain myself like this,"
"But you should! You're such an interesting person, you remind me a lot of my older brother, of course without the whole gymnastic thing," She grinned.
"CHLOE!" Someone yelled.
"Speaking of the devil," She said and I grinned.
"Chloe, I'm just going to Brandon's and I'll be home soo-" The "Someone" said walking into the room and froze.
My eyes met with the most amazing shade of blue ones,
"Hi, I'm Helia," He said holding his hand out.
"Flora," I said shaking his hand and smiled.
We just looked at each other for God knows how long.
"Okay, aren't you supposed to be, I don't know, GOING SOMEWHERE?" Chloe yelled grinning.
"Oh, umm, yeah, I'll be back by 9, I'm just going to Brandon's house, bye Chloe, and, umm, I'll see you around?" He said looking at me.
"Uh, yeah, sure," I smiled blushing a light shade of pink. Then he walked to the front door and smiled at me before walking out.
Holy shit balls! That smile!
Chloe looked at me, grinning.
"You like my brother don't you?" She smirked.
"What? I don't even know anything about him," I said rolling my eyes.
"Yes you do, you know a lot about him because I just told you," she grinned. Damn she's good.
"Right, whatever, what do you wanna do?" I asked.
"I still want to know more about you, how old are you?" she asked.
"18,"
"What's your favorite number?"
"Uhh. 5?"
"Animal?"
"I love all actually, but I love dogs the most, in fact I even have one,"
"Ooh really? What's its name? What breed? What colour? How big? What gender?"
"His name is Max, he's a Bernese mountain dog, he's a bit big though, and he's brown, white and black," I grinned, "Oh! I have a picture!" I took out my phone and showed her his picture.
"Aww! We have a dog too! Her names Goldie, she's a Golden retriever," She squealed.
AFTER 10 MINUTES OF TALKING ABOUT DOGS
"Umm, Flora? What school do you go to? Because I haven't seen you here before and Swell view is a small town, and I go out a lot," Chloe asked as I rolled a dice and moved my little shoe over to the "Go to jail" box in the game Monopoly.
"Well maybe that's because I just moved here from the U.K, after taking a short stop over at L.A and attending one of their very fine beaches, but I'll be attending West side school tomorrow," I said frowning as I handed her a 3 dollar bill in fake money.
"Oh, that's so cool, Helia and I go to that school too, although I won't see you much," She frowned, "But Helia will!" She said brightening up.
"Will he now? How so?" I asked.
"He'll be in your grade too, you're going to grade 12 right?" she asked me rolling her dice and moving her dog counter 3 spaces in front.
"Yup, I guess I will be seeing him around," I said referring to our earlier conversation.
"U.K huh? That explains the amazing accent," Chloe smiled. "But imagine going to L.A though, that's a hot place,"
"Yeah, I stayed there for a few months before coming here, that's why my accent is still strong,"
"No wonder you're so tanned, you're like those models from my magazines," She said excitedly.
"M-model?" I squeaked.
"Yeah! You know, perfect body, perfect skin, perfect hair, why wouldn't you be a model?" she asked.
"I don't think I'm model worthy," I snorted.
"Of course you are! You're the right height too,"
"I don't think I'd enjoy wearing 6 inch heels and walking down the runaway, striking poses at the camera, and dressing up in gorgeous clothes created by the most amazing designers, oh who am I kidding, I would LOVE to be a model, but unfortunately, I'm not," I sighed rolling a five and landing on a chance box, I picked up a card and groaned, "Are you kidding me?" I said moving my counter back to the jail box.
Chloe snorted back a laugh and I glared at her.
"So are you nervous about starting at West Side?" She asked me.
"No, not really, why? Should I be?" I asked.
"No, West Side is full of friendly people, there just maybe one or two groups of people that aren't very appreciative of some peoples existence," Chloe grinned as I laughed.
"But if you're nervous I could ask Helia to give you hand, show you around, get to know you better," She winked, I rolled my eyes,
"That won't be necessary," I said.
"Okay," she rolled the dice and moved 4 spaces ahead, "I still will though,"
I groaned and she giggled.
And soon it was 9 and it was time for Chloe to go to sleep.
