If for the people who have read the book Matched, I would like you to know that I started this story before I had even herd of the book and I'm not gonna change the name. But just to let people know that the character named Ky in this story is and will always be A GIRL! So enjoy!
Chapter 1: Leaving.
The day I moved to California was the worst day of my life, until I knew what was to come.
I had been in the middle of a school day and was doing my unfinished math homework when suddenly my mom came through my classroom door and as she walked to my teacher, she said to me, "Surprise Kyler!," "We're going to California!" I looked at her with a smile, but also forgot as always to tell her to stop calling me Kyler and start calling me Ky after 11 years of having the nickname. I grabbed all my things from my locker and went out the door forgetting to think of homework.
I thought we were going on vacation to Disney land or something until I got into the minivan and saw our entire luggage sitting in the car. Then noticed this was way too many things for a vacation. "So? What hotel are we staying in?" I asked to my mom as I sat next to my 7 year old brother. Ben's face looked as if he was scheming something or keeping a secret hidden from me. "I'm missing something about all this. Because why would we leave the three days before summer break without just completing the year anyway?"As that thought asked my brain, I saw Ben still staring at me with wide excited eyes. "What?" I asked my brother's devilish face as my mom started the car. Ben's smile grew wider like the Grinch's evil smirk.
Then my mom told me what and why she had pulled me out of school, and when I heard the news I thought my heart had skipped a beat.
"Well Kyler," She said in an exciteful tone. "We're- WE'RE MOVING TO CALIFORNIA!" Ben interrupted excitingly to me. As he was looking at my mother with annoyance in her eyes, she continued talking. You have always known how my dream was to become an artist, and it's finally coming true!"
I stared at her in shock. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!"I asked her in desperation. "I wanted it to be a surprise" she said softly. "But now that I think about it, maybe it wasn't the best idea." "YOU REALLY THINK?"I asked in a sarcastic voice. She was starting to look annoyed again so I tried to calm down a little, so I asked her: "So can we get back to the house so I can grab my IPod? I forgot it when I was leaving for school this morning." I asked that specifically because watching YouTube and listening to music always clams me down.
"Umm…" she said to me undauntlessly (ya see what I did there?). "What now?" I asked trying to keep my stress from exploding in her face and having depression rain back down on me. She gave me my IPod and I was so relieved it was ok that I almost started crying.
"So the other thing is… is… ok, but just before I tell you need to remember that California is very fun and- "Just tell me woman!" I almost shouted, but before I did I remembered to keep my temper and to handle it like an adult. "-Mom, you can tell me. I think I can handle it." "Ok" she said in her nervous voice. "I sold the house." She said to me in a scared voice. "You- you WHAT?" I tried to keep my voice calm and steady, but my stomach was doing the opposite. I felt like I had woke up from a nightmare, but this wasn't a nightmare. This was real life. My life. My voice was really shaky and I had to blink back the tears, but some had left my eyes and rolled down my face with the following of more and more to make sure my skin wouldn't dry without me wiping them away.
