Billy was a girl about 17 years old and she was moving into the house of her cousin, Mike Newton, and his parents in Forks, Washington. Recently Billy has been thru many things including losing her parents and her newly found sister (Christy). So she was in need of a new environment and different people to be around.
At the Newton House…
"So Billy, honey we have set up the guest room as your bedroom for your stay here," said Mrs. Newton sweetly.
"Thanks" I replied.
"You will be going to the high school with Mike tomorrow," Mrs. Newton said.
"Okay, and thanks again for letting me stay," I said.
"No problem honey, family is family and we help out our family. And trust me you are going to like it here," said Mrs. Newton.
"Let's hope so" I added under my breath.
"Well, I am going to let you get some sleep, you have had a long trip and you have school in the morning," Mrs. Newton said and she let Billy finish unpacking and went to bed herself.
"Night" I said.
The next morning at Breakfast…
I walked into the kitchen to find her cousin eating breakfast and her Uncle reading the paper.
"Good Morning," I greeted.
"Morning Billy, choose whatever you like we have dry cereal, oatmeal, or you can make some eggs," said Mr. Newton.
I went to the cupboard and picked out a cereal and came to sit down at the table.
"So, Are you excited for school, you are going to love it," Mike said.
"Not really school is school, it's more along the lines of making friends that I am worried being the 'new girl'" I said.
"Don't worry, you are with me you will fit in," Mike said.
"Let's hope so," I said.
"Don't worry Billy, you will make friends fast and if I know Mike, he will introduce you to half the school before lunch," said Mr. Newton.
I smiled at that. But I could not remember the last time I truly smiled. What with losing my parents and my sister, I thought I would never feel joy again.
"Well, I have to get to the store and good luck," said Mr. Newton "and don't forget your first day at the store is Saturday night."
"Thank you again and see you later" I said.
At School…
"So don't worry, I told the guys not to make a big fuss unless you want everyone to know why you are here," Mike said.
"Thanks Mike, I just want to get settled and hopefully forget about my troubles," I said.
We walked up to a group of people which from what Mike saying these are his friends.
"Hi, everyone this is Billy and she is my cousin that I was telling you about. Billy this is Bella, Jessica, Angela, and Eric," said Mike pointing to each of his friends as he introducing them.
"Nice to meet you Billy, hopefully Mike here hasn't rubbed off on you too much yet" said Eric.
"Ha, Ha very funny," said Mike where everyone else was in giggles.
Just then a silver Volvo pulls in the parking lot and everyone's attention goes to the car. Bella's face lights up and a man beautifully built walks over to her and says good morning.
That's when Mike nudges me and tells me it is time to go to class.
