Chapter 1:

I stared out my window taking in the surroundings. The weather was amazing, not a cloud in the beautifully blue sky, the lawns around were perfectly cut with a ravishing green colour, the cars were all top of the range, the houses large as they were only added flawlessness to the background. The day was perfect, too perfect, but thats what I was to expect on my move to Rosewood, picture perfect day after picture perfect day. I wished I was allowed to stay home and finish my schooling, living in our large New York apartment, but mom had made me come and I reluctantly agreed. I dumped myself on my bed checking my phone for the hundredth time in the past few hours but it was in vain. I felt bored, bored of being bored, I had cleaned my room so it looked spotless, like one from a catalogue. My house was the only thing I liked about Rosewood so far, we had moved in to a house about ten times larger than our apartment and my room was huge, even coming with a walk in wardrobe and en suite.

"Nikita will you come downstairs? Lunch is ready." Mrs. Taylor said from my doorway.

"Sure mom." I replied jumping off my bed, glad for something to do, even if it was as lame as eating lunch with the family. I pounced down the stairs with Mom leading the way into our dining room. Dining room? Wasn't that for like formal dinners and stuff? In New York we never even ate meals together, let alone sat at a dining table.

"This is Nikita, Nikita these are the Montgomery's, our new neighbors." Mom said introducing me to the people at the crowded table. She took a seat next to Dad and I'm guessing Mrs. Montgomery and started a conversation.

"Are you going to sit down sis?" Blake, my older brother, asked breaking his conversation with the Montgomery's children and my younger brother.

"Mom, you didn't tell me we had guests!" I screamed at her. My hair was done up in a messy bun, I had no make up on, I was wearing an oversized Nirvana singlet and nothing much else.

"Darling you look fine, just take a seat." Mom said waving my outburst off. I reluctantly sat down at the head of the table, opposite Mom, and took a bite from my salad Mom had made me.

"Hay Nikita, I'm Aria and this is my little brother Mike." A nice looking girl to my left said once I had finished giving my mom the death stare.

"I wouldn't say little!" Mike protested causing Aria, along with Blake and Jesse, my younger brother, to laugh.

"So Mrs. Taylor was telling me how were going to be in the same year at Rosewood Day! You will absolutely love it." Aria said smiling at me.

"Oh, I'm sure I will..." I replied sarcastically, me enjoying school was a joke.

"Now that's the attitude Niki!" Blake laughed, I threw a crouton at him in response.

"Nikita!" Dad exclaimed from the other end of the table, he of course didn't know about the food fights Blake, Jesse and I used to have every Tuesday night.

"Gosh Nikita! Throwing food? So immature." Blake said shaking his head in mock disappointment. We engaged in conversation for the next hour, before it was time for the Montgomery's to leave.

"Nice to meet you all!" Mrs Montgomery, who had repeatedly reminded me to call her Ella, waved hopping into her car.

"Look out for me at school okay?" Aria said, giving me a quick hug, before saying goodbye to everyone else.

"See you round!" Mike hugged me letting his fingers trail at the hem of my singlet, when his fingers met my soft flesh he gave my ass a little squeeze and left.

"Jesse, Blake could you please deal with the dishes, Nikita take a seat." Dad said gesturing to the couch opposite where he and Mom sat. Blake and Jesse ran off to do their job and I trudged over to the couch. They were probably going to give some lecture that I didn't really care about.

"Your behavior was disgraceful! Next time the Montgomery's, or anyone for that matter, come over be polite!" Mom said shaking her head.

"Yelling at your mom? Throwing food? I would of thought you were raised by a pack of dogs." Dad said adding to what mom had said.

"Sorry, wont happen again." I replied bowing my head, I had learned how to play the game.

"Good." Dad replied waving me away.

Thankful that they hadn't performed one of their usual hour long talks, I skipped up to Blake's room where him and Jesse were playing some game on Xbox.

"Well that was quite possibly the shortest lecture mom and dad have ever given!" Blake said pressing ferociously on the small buttons of the controller.

"Maybe Rosewood has brought out a nicer side of them?" Jesse remarked sending us into a fit of laughter.

"I'd rather be living in New York with the real them." I said abruptly stopping my laughter.

"Come on you have to admit Rosewood isn't that bad! I meant your new bff lives here!" Blake broke the silence that had developed as we were all lost in thought about New York. They hadn't wanted to leave either, just I was the one who kicked up most of the fuss.

"Aria?" I began and when Blake nodded I continued, "Yeah we know you like Aria."

"What?" Blake blushed.

"We could see you checking her out!" Jesse winked at Blake, who went even redder.

"Oh yeah what about Mike then?" Blake replied defensively, he always hated it when Jesse and I mocked him about girls. I raised an eyebrow at him and he just gave me this look that said 'come on!'

"See you round." Jesse said impersonating Mike and grabbing the air.

"Thats...uh...Well...umm." I stuttered.

"Wow! Today's a first for everything." Jesse commented.

"First time we've had lunch as a family, first time mom and dad have been nice, first time Nikita's been speechless, oh and first time anyone has ever hit on you too." Blake laughed.

"Yeah say that to the girl who got a boyfriend before either of you stopped believing girls had cooties." I said making them shut up.
"SUCK ON THAT!" Blake suddenly screamed indicating he had won the game he was playing against Jesse.

"You so cheated!" Jesse said defending his pride.

"Did not!" Blake replied.

"Did too!" Jesse shot back. They continued their childish fight for god knows how long, I left after the first few shouts.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

ARIA:

Hay Nikita! A few of us are having a before school get together, wanna come?

meet some people before school starts? (:

I sent back a text asking when and where and was surprised to find it wasn't at Aria's, but at some guy called Noel Kahn. Hoping it was a party, with alcohol, I made my way into my closet, hopefully finding something to wear. After about ten minutes with no such luck I decided I would do make up and hair, then go find the boxes with the rest of my dresses.

"Do you know where the rest of my boxes are?" I asked Blake after I was sure I looked my best.

"You're going too? Great the whole Taylor clan." Blake sighing walking me to where the boxes were stored.

"Mom and Dad or just Jesse?" I asked suddenly wide eyed. If mom and dad were going I wasn't.

"Just Jesse thankfully!" Blake exclaimed.

"You going to Noel's? The party's going to be sick!" Jesse said rummaging through the pile of boxes, probably looking for the one full of his cologne.
"Yup, you seen any of my stuff?"

"Have I? That whole pile is yours!" Jesse replied pointing to about twenty out of the thirty boxes.

"Wanna help me carry these up to my room?" I begged Blake giving him my puppy dog eyes that he couldn't refuse. It took a few trips, but once we were done I thanked him profusely and opened a few, finding three full of dresses and two full of the heels I hadn't yet unpacked. Once I was finished getting ready I studied myself in the mirror. I had opted for a sea-foam coloured cocktail dress that clung to my slim figure, dignifying my curves, the ring I had on was silver studded going across four fingers on my right hand. I had a pair of nude, Chanel heels on adding to my 5'7 height, my straight brown hair hung down to my waist with the blonde tips curled. I was wearing minimal foundation making my skin look flawless, not one single freckle might I add, and had dark eyeshadow on making my blue-green eyes pop. I looked perfect for my first night meeting people who would soon be my friends. I spritzed myself with some perfume, grabbed my iPhone and made my way downstairs were Jesse and Blake were waiting.

"Ready for a fun night?" Jesse said looking glad I hadn't taken as long as usual. If we left now we would be only forty minutes late, compared to the usual hour and a half.

"Where do you guys think you are going?" Mom asked blocking the front door.

"There's a small get together with some people from our new school and fortunately we have been invited." Jesse sighed, of course mom wouldn't let us go.

"Can we please go?" Blake asked looking her dead in the eyes.

"No, we don't know any of these people. You haven't met any of them and you expect me to let you go?"

"Mom, Aria and Mike invited us, the people we do know. Anyway we've already said yes, it would be rude not to show." I argued, playing on the talk we had had earlier.

"Fine, but if you get drunk don't expect us to pick you up. I'd rather you walk."

"You're brilliant Nikita! Absolutely brilliant!" Blake screamed when we had finally got in his car. It took longer than expected to get to Noel's, but once we were parked I could feel the excitement rushing through me. We could here the music blasting through the large property, could hear what seemed like hundreds of people partying, and could smell the alcohol. This was going to be a fun night!

So hope you guys liked it! Tell me what you think~Read and review (:
