Lillian's POV
Moving again. Although I can't really say I'm not excited. My family, which consists of my brother, my mother, my father, and myself, have moved every few years and this time is the last. I really won't miss this town that much. Sure I had a few friends and some great memories, but I never really felt at home. I never could get close enough to anyone to really miss them. Of course that is my own fault since I'm not exactly an open person. Anyway I was excited to move again. This place was supposed to be an amazing place, according to my cousin Ash, who has lived there since he was born. Snow in the winter, crisp clean air, nothing like this mucky city. I just kept thinking about the future sights as I packed my belongings.
"Sister darling" Sam shouted mockingly, "Still daydreaming? Well you might want to get your head out of the clouds. Mom says you better finish soon. We are leaving in two hours." I walked outside my room and stuck my tongue out at Sam, then promptly to finish packing. Sam was right, I had to hurry.
As soon as I zipped up the last suitcase, Sam crept up behind me trying one of his sneak attacks. Seeing his shadow out of the corner of my eye, I turned around and glared. Busted. Sam just laughs and heads down stairs, carrying my suitcase. My brother was one year older than me and a bit taller than I am. He is an interesting person. Sam can be nice, fun, and overall great. According to my friends he was 'dashingly handsome', with his cerulean blue eyes and auburnish hair. So many girls have flirted with him it's amazing that he has never had a girlfriend. He always seems to come up with some excuse about every girl that has asked him out just to say no, but it's not like I should judge. I never dated anyone either, nor liked anybody enough to consider it. Oh well looks like we are both in the same boat.
Speaking of boats, I headed downstairs with my last box and loaded into the truck. The truck toted our luggage to the pier and then we would load it onto a boat. My family took a cab to the pier as we waited for the boat to take us to our new destination, Harvest Island.
Sam's POV
As the boat made its way to the dock, we prepared to get up. We were heading off to some rural place called Harvest Island. The place is supposed to be relatively small in comparison to what we are used to and very peaceful. I smiled to myself just thinking of all the fun I was going to have this year. I mean it is my last year in high school, got to enjoy it to the fullest. When the boat was finally ready to load, I quickly cut off Lillian and was the first of my family to get on the boat. Sticking my tongue out at Lillian for earlier, I sprinted towards the boat with a semi-angry Lillian right behind me. I reached a dead end and Lillian just glared like she usually did. After thirty seconds, we both just started laughing. I messed with her all the time, so she was used to it. Anyway it was just playful fun, nothing I ever did was intended to make her sincerely upset. We headed back towards the entrance of the boat where my father and a few other men were loading our belongings. I decided to join them and helped them finish loading the rest of the boxes. Lillian was slightly paranoid and was counting to make sure all boxes and suitcases made it on board. Satisfied that everything was in place she sat next to me and stared off into the sea.
"Sam, what do think Harvest Island will be liked?" she asked.
"I'm sure it will be a great place to live. I mean Ash likes it and all. You seem to like the idea of living in a nice quaint community and from the pictures I saw on one of those travel guides it looks like a nice place." I replied. She smiled but still looked worried. "The only thing that sucks is that school starts as soon as we get there. I mean we have today and tomorrow, then school." I moaned. She laughed quietly and her mind went back to Cloud Nine. School. I was definitely not excited for it to start up so soon. It's not like I hate it or am bad at it. In fact Lillian and I are always top of the class. I just wasn't too thrilled to be thrown into school upon our arrival. Moving so close to the new year was not the greatest decision my parents made. I mean I'm going to be unpacking my boxes while working on my homework. On the other hand I guess school will be the best place to find some new buds. Either way it's not like I can change the inevitable.
After three hours of utter boredom, I finally saw a land mass in the distance. "Finally! We are almost there. Hey Lil! Look!" I shouted. She peered up from the ocean and smiled as she caught her first glance of our future home. I could tell we had a little adventure ahead.
