Phoebe POV
"Could you guys please just pick a station to listen to already?" I say, sitting at the back with Sam and Nanook. My brothers Sam and Michael have been arguing over the radio music since we set off about five hours ago. Even Nanook is annoyed with them with his head resting on my lap, he's Sam's dog, but for the most part I look after him and he's proved very loyal to me, he just sadly has to put up with my stupid little brother Samuel.
"We will when there is a good song on P" says Michael looking at me smugly which I return with a sly evil look, sometimes my older brother - by just a year - can be such an ass.
Oh yeah sorry, my name is Phoebe, Phoebe Anderson, second child and only daughter to Lucy and Peter Anderson. I have short black hair down to the bottom of my shoulders, with dark orange highlights (On profile) and am currently wearing my red top, black comfy pants and white converse boots (On Profile.)
"Why don't we let Phoebe pick one for a change?" asks mum from the driver's seat, I smile widely at this, hearing Mike sigh in annoyance. I lean forward, lightly slapping Sams hand away from the radio and start looking at the channels,
"Hey mum our favourite" I say, putting on Shania Twain "I'm gonna getcha good" song, (Sorry don't know what year this film was meant to be in so I can't tell what music was on at the time.)
"Good choice sweetie" she says smiling brightly at hearing the song,
"Speaking of which" I say, now just remembering that I have sweets in my bag, which i root through after snatching it from in-between my legs and bring out a paper bag of sweets I bought before we set off this morning
"Awesome" says Sam, when I give him a jelly snake, and mum has one too, this family practically lives off jelly snakes because of me.
But Michael is looks at me oddly while I begin eating my own snake, as I dint not give him one for his recent comment,
"What about me?" he asks, looking at me, pleadingly with his eyes, he even puts a fake pout on his lips that i have to resist at snorting at from the look of him,
"Oh didn't you hear? I don't share my food with annoying people" I say, this causing us all to laugh, including Michael. But I eventually snap one snake in half and give him it, I'm not that mean.
"Alright guys, we're going to have to stop for a little while to get some gas, and I think Nanook could do with a walk" says mum, we all nod in agreement to this, I can't wait to stretch my legs, it's a miracle Nanook hasn't done anything yet in the car.
"What is that smell?" asks Sam, scrunching up his nose from where I can see at where I'm sitting int he back with Mike, I smell to see what he's talking about, but all I smell is fresh air, and salt but that will be because of the sea,
"Ocean air!" sighs mum, after taking in a deep breath whilst smiling, i smile at this, I have always wanted to live near the sea, cities dont do me, was too crammed and busy.
"Smells like something died" says Sam, from this I lightly punch his shoulder, he looks at me annoyed and shrugs stupidly not getting why I punched him, I look to mum then to him, trying to get him to shut up before he starts to hurt mums feelings,
"Guys, I know it hasn't been easy...the divorce and now the move... but I think you're really going to like living in Santa Carla..." she says, I smile and nod at her through the rear view mirror which she replies with her own.
But I can see Sam and Mike looking unconvinced neither of them didn't like the idea of leaving, but I did,
We come up to the sign saying "Welcome to Santa Carla" but as we pass it I see that in spray paint is written "Murder Capital of the World" I look at it confused from this, I look forward to see that Mike had also see it too, he mouths "What?" with a weirded out look, but I just shrug, I mean surely mum wouldn't move us to a place that had a lot of murders going on. Must have been kids being stupid or something.
Finally we stop at a car park to what looks like a fairground. Awesome some fun around here then! They have signs for freaks, rides, food of all kinds, it looks cool.
"Alright guys be back at quarter to one, this way we'll be at the house at half two" says mum after we've parked up,
"I'll get Nanook's leash" I say, getting out and going to the boot.
"Mum can we get something to eat at one of the stalls here?" asks Michael, as we're getting out.
"Yeah sure, each of you can take five dollars. That I think should be enough for now" she says, I attach Nanook's leash to his collar while helping Sam get him out of the car.
"Beach?" I ask Sam as he gets out and mum gives us money for lunch.
"Sure, Nanook can have a run then" he says, I nod at this in agreement.
"You guys coming?" I ask mum and Michael, he shakes his head as well as mum, both me and Sam look at one another then begin to run in the opposite direction towards the beach.
Maybe we will like it here.
