This is my first story, so tell me if I need to work on anything. Thanks!
Chapter 1- Kelly's Niece
"Bye, guys" Kelly Oliver, the owner of Storm Chargers, said. "I'm going to meet my niece at the airport. She flew in today from Los Angles."
"Wait…your niece?" asked Dustin from his place between Hunter and Blake "When did you get a niece?"
"You know when my brother, Tommy, disappeared a few months ago?" all the boys said yes. "Well, he still hasn't been found. So the state decided that Phoenix, Tommy's daughter, my niece, would come and live with me."
"Does she like sports?" asked Shane as he walked into the store looking down.
"Don't know, haven't seen her since she was 7." Kelly replied.
"How old is she now?" asked Hunter
"She's 14." Kelly answered, "And before you ask," she started seeing Dustin's mouth open "she has red hair and green eyes. I think she's about 5'7, too."
"How…" Dustin said looking confused.
"I know you. Now I have to go before I'm late." Kelly ran out the door and hopped into her Navy jeep.
'I wonder how Phoenix is dealing with her father's disappearance,' thought Kelly as she turned onto the road that led to the airport.
She parked her jeep and then walked to the waiting are, where people waited for the passengers to arrive.
"Hello, Aunt Kelly?" Kelly turned around to see a red headed girl wearing a plain white T-shirt and jeans.
"Yeah, Phoenix, right?"
"Yeah," Phoenix replied with a smile.
"How was your flight?" asked Kelly as they walked to the baggage claim.
"A little rough at the beginning, but otherwise, pretty good," Replied Phoenix.
"Good. I don't really like flying, it makes me queasy," Kelly said, making a face.
Phoenix giggled as she picked up two black suitcases. Kelly took one of them and they both started walking towards the parking lot.
"Where do you live?" asked Phoenix as she climbed into the passenger's seat.
"A little down the road from my shop," Kelly replied as she climbed into the driver's seat and started the car.
"You own a shop! Dad never mentioned you owned a shop." Phoenix's face suddenly fell. "I miss him."
"I know. I miss him, too," Kelly said. "Oh, look, were home." She pulled into the driveway and parked.
"Ooooohh, pretty." Kelly's house was small and yellow. It had a small front yard and steps leading up to the front door.
"You have your own bedroom and bathroom," Kelly said as she walked into the house. "On the left is the living room and if you follow the hallway you'll reach the kitchen. Turn left from the kitchen and go up the steps and the bedrooms and bathrooms are up there."
"Thanks Kelly. I really appreciate it." Phoenix smiled as she walked into the kitchen.
"Left, Phoenix." Kelly said, as Phoenix turned right instead of left.
"Right, I knew that." Phoenix replied as she turned the right way.
Phoenix unpacked all her clothes into her new closet and then went downstairs.
"Hey, is it OK if I take a walk, so I can get to know the city?" asked Phoenix.
"Sure, just don't go too far, I don't want you to get lost, and be back in and hour. Dinner should be ready by then."
"Sure," Phoenix replied as she walked out the door.
