Chapter 1: A new Home
It was early morning around 9:45. As Nikkie walked around the airport struggling with her luggage she thought to herself about her new school and the friends she would make. "Nikkie my bag is too heavy" whined Alexa. Nikkie realized it was her father's giant suitcases. She put down her bags and switched the big suitcase with her napsack full of her sneakers. Nikkie asked her " is that better" , Alexa replied " Yup , much better" , and she skipped forward to her father. Nikkie loved Alexa, but at times she would get on her nerves.
While they put their bags down and waited for a empty taxi, Kayla came over to Nikkie and Raylese. She put her arms around them both. " Why the long faces, girls" she asked. Raylese looked at her and said " What if we don't like it here" Kayla replied " Well you never know, it's a great place here, my mom found that beautiful house across the street from hers, remember in the pictures, and you all will have your own rooms, and you'll get used to it I promise. Trust me you'll make plenty of friends and you'll have a great time, OK". They both nodded and she gave them a kiss on the forehead. A taxi pulled up and they put their things in the trunk. Nikkie, Raylese and Kayla sat in the back with Alexa on Kaylas lap, and Chris sat in the front. He gave the driver the directions, and they were off. It was a long drive from the airport to their new house.
When the car pulled up they noticed the moving van was already their. Everyone got out and Chris paid the taxi driver.The driver helped unpack the trunk and put everything on the sidewalk. After he left, everyone stood there looking at the house. It was a moment of silence. Finally Chris spoke up and said " Its nice". The Nikkie and Raylese looked at him like they were scared to go inside because they didn't want to stay their. Then he said " come on it doesn't bite, lets go inside". They all picked up their bags and walked up the steps. They went inside and their jaws dropped. "Boy this place is big" squeaked Alexa. " I know it looks so small from outside" said Raylese. "It's not that big, why don't you go check out your new rooms" said Kayla. Nikkie and raylese dropped their bags quickly and ran up the steps. Alexa dropped the little bookbag and ran up along with them saying "wait for me you guys".
Nikkie opened the door and saw a nice sized bedroom and said "This will do" she closed it and followed Raylese into hers. But when she saw were Raylese was she said " your gonna sleep in the bathroom" while giggling. "No, it's a nice bathroom" said Raylese in and obvious tone. "Yeah your gonna spend most of the morning putting on your make up right" said Nikkie. "DUH" said Raylese. They both laughed and left the bathroom. Raylese opened up her bedroom door and said "this is probably the parents bedroom, because it's huge". Finally, she opended the door to her room. " Nice" said Nikkie. " Where's your bedroom?" she asked she showed Raylese her room. " and where is yours A....., where's Alexa" said Raylese. They walked down the small area opened up a closet and closed it. They opened the last door that was upstairs. They saw Alexa looking out the window. She turned around and said "I finally have my own room" while she smiled. Raylese smiled and ran to her and picked her up. She spun her around. They were extremely happy. They sat on the floor of the room to take a breath from the spinning. Then Nikkie said " Raylese, I think we are gonna like it here" Raylese smiled and said "yeah". Then Alexa screamed out "I already do". They all laughed. Without noticing Kayla and Chris had been peaking in. They were happy that the kids were now happy. They closed the door and went back downstairs.
It was now around 3:30 in the afternoon, and half of the packages were in the house. They brought in all the beds upstairs and they brought all of the drawers and boxes to the correct bedroom. The new furniture was arriving tomorrow, so there was nothing to do anyways. So they went over to Kayla's mom's house (or the girls grandmother) for some dinner because the stove had to be put in. After eating they all went home. It was 6:00 and they all were in the parents bedroom. They had finished digging through bunches of boxes for sleeping clothes. They were on the new humungous bed and they were all just relaxing from their long day. But sooner or later the girls relaxing turned into snoring. Kayla and Chris sat up and decided to leave them there. They fell asleep on the opposite side of the bed.
When they woke up the following day the sun was shining brightly through the window. Kayla, Chris, and Alexa were up already. Chris was downstairs drinking a bottle of water. While Kayla unpacked the dishes from a box. Chris then said " The girls must have been really tired, I mean it's already 2:15". Kayla then said " well they had a long flight, and long car ride and its really boring for them". "Yeah, maybe we can find a park for them to play at" said Chris. "Or a really big shopping mall for Raylese and Nikkie to shop at" Upstairs, Alexa came running in to the room where everyone slept. She jumped up on the bed ( which was really hard to do because it was so high)and started shaking the girls. She was yelling out " Nikkie, Raylese wake up you have to see, you have to see". "See what" said Nikkie. Alexa grabbed her hand and pulled her off the bed dragging her up to her feet. She then did the same to Raylese. She took them both by the hands and dragged them to her room. She stood them in front of the doorway to her room. She opened the door, and everything was bright. The walls were light pink and her bed had been made her clothes were unpacked into the closet, on the wall where the window was, was full painted flowers, and her stuffed animals were spread around her room neatly. She even had her toy chest full of toys put away in a corner. There was moment of silence.
Then Raylese and Nikkie looked at each other and ran quickly to see there rooms. Raylese opened her door to her bedroom and saw her walls painted light blue, with all her posters up (which was Simple Plan, Bow Wow, Good Charlotte, Ashanti, Beyonce, Evanessence, Black eyed peas and more covering her walls), her bed was made, her clothes were put away and her brand new computer was sitting on a desk, with all her disks, and her window had light blue cloud curtains, and her minature T.V. was against a wall behind a clear case along with her DVD player she had gotten for her 18th birthday, also her pictures of her friends and family where on her walls. She ran in and jumped on her bed she was so happy she has her own room. Back in Virginia, she shared her room with Nikkie and Alexa, but a picture on the wall caught her eye and she picked it up. When Nikkie opened her door to her bedroom, her eyes had widen. Her walls were painted in peach and white thick stripes, her bed was made, her clothes were put away, her night table had her lamp plugged in along with her alarm clock, her new computer on top of her old desk, with her cds and desk lamp and all her papers and notebooks, along with her identical minature TV was against the wall with her VCR and PS2 with her dvds and games, all her posters were put up above the computer desk. But one thing that caught her eye was above the smaller drawer. On top of it along with her teddy bears was two pictures. One was the family picture which was with Chris and Kayla in the back, Nikkie and Raylese in the front of them and Alexa in the middle. It was a beautiful picture. The other picture was of her, Raylese and her mom. Tears started rolling down her cheek. She picked up the picture and walked out the room to Raylese's room. She saw her on her bed holding the same picture in her hand. Raylese turned around and looked at Nikkie. They smiled at each other and they held each other. Alexa came in and said "can I have a hug too". They both laughed and hugged each other real tight.
All the furniture had been brought in and everything was pretty neat and nice. It was to their surprise that the painters were painting the walls all night and that morning Kayla and Chris had fixed up their bedrooms just the way they probably wanted them to be.
Later that night it had began to rain. Everyone was in their rooms sleeping until a big thunder had struck. Alexa woke up and ran into the dark hallway and into her parents room. "She whined mommy, daddy I'm scared" Kayla pulled her up into her arms and cuddled her. Then another one had struck and Alexa shivered. Nikkie and Raylese were lying in their beds scared. Then when an even louder one hit they both jumped out of bed and into the dark hallway. They both bumped into each other. Nikkie then said quietly " I know I love rain but that was loud". They grabbed each other and ran into their parents room. When they opended the door, Kayla and Chris sat up and looked at them then at each other "come on in girls" they both said. They ran in and sat on the bed. They all cuddled with each other. When Nikkie was next to Kayla Nikkie whispered " thanks for the photos and for making our bedrooms just like we wanted them to look". Kayla kissed her forehead. Kayla drifted off to sleep, as the sound of the ran hitting the window relaxed Nikkie to her sleep.
