Chapter One
The city lights showed brightly through the wide windows of my small apartment. The noises of traffic and cars honking made it impossible to sleep. I sat in my small recliner with a cup of tea and my little book of crossword puzzles as I waited for my alarm to go off to tell me to get ready for my waitressing job at the cheesecake factory. I was sick of this darn city, I can see why my sisters Jill and Tina insisted on moving to the country and living the farmer way. I had wished several times since I said "no" to Jill that I had said "yes" when she asked if I wanted to join her at her new place on Casa Farm. I heard the loud screeching "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" of my alarm clock. I got out of my chair ran to the alarm clock to shut it off before any grouchy neighbors got woken up, and yet Guy from next door banged into the wall and yelled, "SHUT IT OFF!" in his big, bad, husky voice.
"I'M WORK'N ON IT!" I yelled back. "Ugh!" I opened my closet door and cringed as the metal rusted door scraped its way open.
"HEY WHA..."
"DON'T EVEN SAY IT!" I interrupted. I was in no mood. The ringing of my small cell phone mixed with the vibrating sound on the small fold out table was enough to give me a head ache. I ran and flipped it open "Hello?" I said a little breathless into the phone
"Hey! Baby!"
"What do you want, Jill?" I asked annoyed by the high chipper tone in her voice while mine sounded out of breath and tired.
"Oh, don't be so snarky! I'm just calling to tell you that I am moving to Flower Bud Village to be closer to Tina and because I hate the 'too small' lot here. Anyway there is this ocean lot for sale and I thought I'd buy it. Also, what with Tina expecting and her new husband Carl working at his new Callaway Cafe'..."
"He got a new job?"
"Yeah, He quit bartending at the Moonlight Cafe' and decided to risk it and start a cafe' on his own and it turned out to be a big success! Well, anyway if you want I can meet you at Mineral Town and show you the way."
"The way to what?" I asked seriously confused now.
"To your new farm!"
"WHAT? I"M NOT MOVING!" I said while having a spaz attack.
"Why? Ugh! Are you sure?" she asked. Then the sink started leaking in the kitchen and I realized I couldn't stay there another minute. I all of a sudden felt entirely way too claustrophobic.
"I change my mind." I replied quickly before she could hang up
"GREAT! Fara you'll love it, I know you will" she screamed into the phone. "Meet me at Mineral Town beach at nine thirty okay?"
" 'Kay" and with that I hung up and started packing, throwing eight different colored yet same styled t-shirts into the rucksack that Jill had given me when she thought that I was going to move in with her. I packed eight pairs of jean shorts and a pair of green converse rubber boots. I took off my cheesecake factory uniform and put it in the trash can while I slid on a pair of worn jean shorts and a red t-shirt while I put on my red converse sneakers. I looked in the mirror as I put my cosmetics that I never use in my rucksack and grabbed a hair tie while scrapping back my thick dark brown heavy banana curls into a ponytail. It fell to my mid-back. I looked at my tired looking face with the pale skin and dark circles under my dark brown eyes. My parents used to say I was a mix between Jill and Tina after all I was the youngest. I had Tina's brown eyes and I wore a ponytail like Jill, but I had my own curls. On second thought I removed the cosmetics, I mean I didn't really need make-up if I could get a little more rested I would look healthier and more alive, right now to be honest I kind of looked like a zombie. I looked around the room looking to see if I was missing anything then spotting my wallet, keys, and sunglasses I turned on my heel and walked over to the nightstand where they had been carelessly thrown on, shoved my wallet into my rucksack, put my sunglasses on and holding my keys in my hand walked out of my "hell hole" apartment for the last time.
