Chapter 1 ;A new beginning

59. that was the year the golden one, the cherry on top of the cake. It was the year that i moved to Castlerock, the year i met the most amazing friends,the year i will cherish for the rest of my life. If you're wondering who i am, i'm Nancy, Nancy Fisher. We moved from Arazona to Oregon in the summer on 1959. Why? My mom got a promotion and was forced to move a little town in Oregon called Castlerock. Now..dont get me wrong it looked great, perfect in fact, i was just worried because i was afraid of becoming an outcast...low self esteam can do that to a person.

I have two siblings, a sister called Lisa who's 20 she lives with her boyfriend in Santa Carla.. the murder capital of the world and Joshua, he's 16 and he still lives with us. Yeah he's a pain in the ass but i still love him, he's my brother, he looks out for me just like i look out for him.

As i looked out the window of our rusty old car, i watched as the trees floated by and the town of Castlerock drew nearer and nearer. It was all sinking in now,a new town, a new house, a new school and a new start. I was finally going some place where nobody knew me, i could be whoever i wanted to be, no more sitting in the dark waiting for an opportunity to pass me by. I was finally going to see the world, live my life! And nothing or no one was going to get in my way.

"well there she is, our new home," my moms soothing voice rang in my ears as i got out of the car. I smiled as i hugged Josh i knew this was going to be perfect. As mom popped open the trunk of the car, Josh and i began lifting out boxes and setting them in the hallway of our brand new home. "well sweetheart, what do you think?" my mom asked as she hugged me from behind. "it's great!" i replied setting down the last box onto the hard wooden floor of the hallway. The house was pretty empty exept for a few things that occupied the kitchen but it was just as i had imagined.

Everything was out of the car and into the house. It was too hot and i was too tired to go anywhere so i decided to head to bed as i started school the next morning. I said goodnight to mom and Josh and headed upstairs to my room. It was great. My room was just the right size and it had this beautiful sloping window that was just above my bed. As i collapsed onto my mattress i sighed thinking of the new school day that awaited me the next morning. God, this was going to be hard, good friends aren't that easy to come by and i didn't want to become an out cast but, hey, what can you do?
