Don't own anything but the story line.. Enjoy

Chapter 1

I lean my head against the cool glass of the car window as I watched the green and yellow hills roll past me. Talk about living where nothing is, I can't believe that my mom is dragging me out here! This is ridiculous. I miss the cool air of Malibu, the calming sounds of the ocean crashing on the shore, hell I even miss the busy streets of Malibu. I hate it here already, and I haven't even gotten out of the car.

"Lilly, honey, it's not going to be that bad, I promise." My mom tells me.

"Yeah, whatever." I retort. "Why did we have to the middle of NOWHERE!"

"You know why sweetheart, we both needed a fresh start." She says.

"I was doing just fine mom! You think I wanted to leave Oliver? Mom it's my senior year and you drag me out to.."

"Marble Falls… Well that's where you're going to be going to school, we're actually going to be living in a smaller place called Spicewood that's about 15 miles from your school, and it's only 45 minutes away from Austin." She finishes my sentence for me.

"Oh my gah mom, really? How am I supposed to get back and forth from school, I am NOT riding the bus, and you are not going to drop me off, that is soooo lame!" I was getting more upset by the minute.

"Well actually, I was trying to keep this a secret but, I got you your own car. It's used but I still think you'll like it."

"Really? My own car? What is it? What color? How good is the stereo system in it?" I couldn't hide my excitement.

"Calm down Lilly, you'll see when we get there.." My mom said smiling. It was one of the first real smiles I have seen of my moms in months. You see we're moving out here to middle-of-nowhere Texas because my mom just got out of a bad relationship. And I mean bad. I could tell the guy was trouble first time I laid eyes on him. He had greasy black hair, a five 'o' clock shadow, and his eyes were black also, I didn't even know that was possible. They were together a couple of months before he started abusing her, it started out just being verbal abuse, then it turned into physical abuse. A couple times I tried to stop it but only ended up getting myself hurt as well, and my mom would get hurt even worse. Then finally she couldn't take it anymore and she turned the bastard into the police.

"Lilly, we're here." My mom snaps me out of my flashback. I get out of the car and I see a 2008 black Ford Mustang sitting there waiting for me.

"OH MY GOSH! MOM! THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH! I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!" I screamed as I was hugging her. "This is amazing!"

"You're welcome babygirl." She says laughing at my reaction. The movers were already here and putting boxes in the house and my mom and I began separating the boxes to what rooms they needed to be in. I started unpacking my boxes and rearranged my furniture the way I wanted to be, once I got my room somewhat set up I decided I needed a break so I grabbed a bottle of water and went outside.

Our backyard was a decent size and it extended into the lake. I'm not really sure which one because according to my mom there are 5 lakes out here. I sat down and put my feet in the cool water. I heard the purr of a boat engine and people shouting coming closer. I looked up and saw a nice yellow black and white wakeboard boat that read "Mastercraft" down the side. Behind that boat was a girl wakeboarding. She had long tan legs, her swim suit bottoms were a cyan blue, and her arms were slender with just the right amount of muscle definition and also tan. I couldn't get a good look at her face but her hair was a chestnut brown with fine streaks of blonde where the sun had highlighted it. From a distance she was hot! Whoa.. Lilly what are you saying.. You're straight. Then right as I was about to get up and go back in my house the girl jumped the wake and did a front flip. The others that were on the boat started shouting, and yelling congratulating her on her trick.

I started walking away and I glanced back, and my heart jumped into my throat. When I looked back I could of sworn the girl wakeboarding was smiling at me. What is going on with me?
