TWILIGHT REMIX
By: Alicia Rochester
Chapter 1:
Once there was this young beautiful girl by the name of Michelle; she was 16. Michelle lived in Los Angles, CA for all of her life. In 2008 her dad remarried to a woman by the name of Auburn Dogwood; Michelle's parents had been divorced for most of her life. She has lived with her dad since her parent s got divorced. Now she was on her way to a small city in North Carolina named Charlotte.
She was going to live with her mom and was leaving her dad Christian and her new stepmother Auburn on the other side of the continental US heading for the lamest boring rainiest place in the world. The only reason she left is because her new stepmother was a model so she had to travel a lot and at first her dad stayed home with Michelle but she could she how sad being away from Auburn was making him so she decided to go stay with her mother so her dad could travel with Auburn. The major bad part besides going to the lamest, boring, rainiest place in the world was that she was going to have to leave her brother Emmett(who was in college back in LA so he didn't need dad to watch after him like he was some kind of baby), her bff Alice, and Emmett's Girlfriend Rosalie and boyfriend make that ex-boyfriend (because they had to break up because long distance relationships never work) Brad and all her other friends and she didn't know anyone in Charlotte. As she gets off the plane she sees her mother Melinda. "How are you my sweet baby," said Melinda. "Fine," I said even though I wasn't, I had left my whole life behind me and I had to start over. I had never spent much time here in Charlotte just 2 weeks ever summer since I was six so I really don't know anyone.
She ask me how Emmy was, I said he was fine. I didn't think she needed to know that he was getting married in a month. We drive home in silence as we enter the house Melinda takes me and my suitcases to the room I have used while I was here in the summers. She puts my stuff down turn to me and said "If you need any thing just holler," then she leaves. That was the one thing I loved about Melinda she doesn't hover. As soon as I start to unpack I here a car pull up in the driveway, it was a silver Volvo (which happened to be my favorite car on this earth), I see 2 people get out a woman and a boy.
I head down stairs, they had looked familiar and as soon as I hit the bottom step I remembered them. The woman was Melinda's friend Jenny and the boy was her son Jeffery. I head out side to welcome them in but it looks like Melinda got to them first. As I walk up Melinda introduced me, I said hi to them and me and the boy went for a walk while Melinda and Jenny talked. He asked me where I was from, why I left, why I came here, if I had siblings, if I had a boyfriend, etc. As I answered the questions I tried not to cry.
I told him I was from LA, California, I told him about my dad and Auburn, about Emmy, about Alice, about Rosalie, about Brad, about the life that I had sadly left behind in sunny LA. After an hour or so Melinda and Jenny came back outside, Jenny asked Melinda if she could give her and Jeffery a ride back to Monroe, she said "Sure", and I said "Why you have a car right here." Jenny said "No we don't that's your car now." "What" I said, Melinda said "I just bought the Volvo for you; you're going to need a car to get to school." I guess I didn't think of that, "Good reason to get me my favorite car," I said and gave Linda a huge hug. I finished unpacking after they left, ate dinner, and went to sleep.
