"Cammie! You ready to go?" Mom asked as she put the last of our boxes into the boot of our car.

She had been offered a job in a small town called Roseville in Virginia. Ever since the accident the light in our lives had gone and as much as we tried, nothing was ever the same. Everyone was always saying how sorry they were and mom had started to slip further and further away; forgetting to do the easiest things like making dinner or going out to get groceries. So, when the offer came up for a fresh start, mom took it straight away. We both needed a change. It was just too painful living our lives, having to pretend that everything was okay and that we didn't feel broken every time we remembered something about him. And here we are now. Moving to a cute little town in the middle of nowhere in hope that life becomes a tiny more bearable.

"Yeah, mom. I'm just coming", I said before turning and getting into our rusty, old car.

The journey to Roseville took 5 hours and the whole ride there was filled with the constant chatter from mum about her new job as headmaster of Roseville High. I was really nervous about attending a mixed public school. It was so much more different compared to the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. For one, it was a public school- filled with people who made fun of "snobby" girls like me. Two, it was a mixed school- filled with the mysterious specimen that are BOYS. How do I even speak to a boy let alone try and be friends with them? Although Gallagher was one of the most prestigious schools in the country and had the widest range of curriculum, they certainly didn't teach us lessons in 'boy'.

"Kiddo we're here. Hello? Can you hear me? Cammie!" shouted my mom as she pulled me from my thoughts.

"Oh, yeah, sorry. I was just thinking about school and stuff."

"Cammie, sweetie. I know it was hard for you moving away from all your friends and the place you grew up in but this is a way for us to start new. Both of us" she said softly.

"Yeah I know mom. I just wish he were still here with us. Being here, with a new house, starting a new life. It's just confirming that he's gone and he's never coming back." I replied, a fat tear rolling down my cheek.

"He'll always be with us kiddo. Always". We sat there for a few moments in silence, holding onto each other just like we did when I was little. "Now come on. Don't you want to see our new house?" With that we got out of the car and walked up to the door to our new home.

It was massive: four big (en suite) bedrooms complete with built in wardrobes, three floors as well as a game room with a pool table, a swimming pool and the usual rooms (all twice the size of our old house).

Once the moving truck had arrived, we placed all the furniture where they belonged and put all the boxes we had to unpack in their correct rooms. I had already unpacked all my clothes and only had some personal belongings left to do. A feeling hit me sharp in the stomach, a mixture of sadness, nervousness but also happiness; we had finally moved.

"Mom! I'm going to have a walk around town. I'll be back in an hour." I shouted before making my way out the door.

As I strolled down the streets of Roseville, I realised just how cliché this town actually was. White houses lined with pretty front gardens, people saying 'hi' to each other at every corner- everyone knew everyone and change was something that didn't occur very often. But, being my natural chameleon self, no one noticed me and I blended into the background, still taking in my surroundings. Just as I was about to head back I saw the local pharmacy and remembered I needed to get some more anxiety pills to help my panic attacks. I'd been getting them ever since the accident. It's not like they stopped me from having them but it made me worry about things less. It made life easier. Slowly, I walked to the pharmacy and inside was a boy who looked around my age with light brown hair and eyes that matched it. He had his back to me and was sorting out some of the medicine in aisle 4. Not wanting to disturb him, I quietly made my way to the front desk where a man in his early fifties was looking at a computer.

"Hello there. How may I help you?" the man asked with a smile.

"Hi. I was just wondering whether you had any anxiety pills available. I just moved here so I don't have my prescription or anything but I know which ones I'm normally given. Do you think that'd be possible?" I asked politely.

"Yes I think that should be okay. Let me just go grab the ones we have in stock and then you can choose the ones you need." He replied before retreating into the back of the store.

I looked back round to aisle 4 to see if the cute (dare I say it) boy was still there, but was disappointed to see that he'd disappeared.

"So you're new in town" a voice said behind me, making me jump. I turned round to see the boy from aisle 4 staring at me with kind eyes, "Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Josh"

"Cammie" I replied cautiously, "yeah I'm new. I just moved here today."

"Cool. Are you planning on coming to Roseville High? It's the best school there is round here."

"Um…yeah. Maybe. I think so?" I stammered acting like a clueless idiot.

Josh chuckled lightly smiling at me, "Well then Cammie. I hope to see you round school."

Before I could reply, the man from earlier came back through. "Here we go young lady. We only had one type in store but if you find out which ones you need specifically we can order them in for you. Are these okay for the time being?"

"Yes. That's great thanks." I replied before handing him the money and turning to leave.

"Hey- Cammie! If you need a school guide or just a tour of the town I'd be happy to show you around sometime." Josh said just as I opened the door.

"Yeah. I'd like that." I replied with a smile before heading outside. I had just spoken to my first boy in this new town and it didn't go so bad after all. He even asked to show me around. Maybe I might take him up on that offer.
