I'm Your National Anthem
CHAPTER 1
Moving to a new place was not what she wanted to do. She wanted to stay in her old town, with her old friends, and her boyfriend. He, at least, wanted to keep a long distance relationship with her, but she knew things would change. She was determined to keep their relationship going, though. She wanted it to work, and she didn't want to lose him. No matter what she did, though, she knew it wouldn't be the same as living in her old town and dating him when he went to the same school as her.
When the car pulled up in the driveway of her new house, she groaned. Her siblings were excited, though, but they were young and just wanted to live in their new house, which had a pool. They didn't know what it was like to leave their boyfriend of over one year, and their best friend of six years behind. They were a little bit sad to leave their friends, who they had known for a short time, but were more concerned about how exciting the pool would be in the new house. She had two siblings. Matthew, who they called Matt, or sometimes even Matty. Matt was seven years old, and he was adorable, curious, and funny. He was interested in joking around and pulling pranks. She also had a younger sister: Addie. Addie was a sweet and energetic fifth grader with a big heart, and perfect baby teeth. She had only lost a few of her baby teeth, which her older sister found adorable.
Her name was Sophia Brannigan, and she was a high school junior. She could sometimes have an attitude, but she wasn't a bad person. Overall, she was quite caring, and ended up being a loyal friend, even if she could make snarky comments or come off as a bit sassy. But unfortunately, moving to a new town was one of those things that brought out her infamous bitchy attitude.
Pennsylvania. Rosewood, Pennsylvania, to be exact. No one cared about towns like Pennsylvania. She came from sunny Florida, where the water was warm and the beaches were always perfect. She didn't want to live in a town with extreme snow and crap. She wanted to live in a coastal state, not a gross middle state that no one liked. People always say they want to move to states like California or Florida, not Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania was a lame state, like Iowa. No one have two craps about Iowa (or so she thought).
She knew one thing for sure: she would never, ever like her new home more than her old one.
