The wind that came off the sea caused my hair to whip my face, stinging my skin.
The waves lapped onto the shore, seeing no rush to be anywhere. I watched, soaking up the setting sun.
If I hadn't moved, I'd be at home, hanging out with my friends and maybe even having a sleepover. But instead, I was sitting here on a beach, all alone.
I guess I wasn't completely alone in this town. I had my two brothers, Kirk and Tiberius. The only problem was that they were always busy working, so I never got to chat. Except for the time when I tagged along with Tiberius, who fished for the food store in town.
Tiberius was a few years older than me, and a lot grumpier. When we were younger I never played with him because he would always yell and throw things at me. Kirk had an ok relationship with him, but me, nope. I just tried to avoid him my entire life, which so far, I was doing an alright job. But the day that I tagged along with Tiberius while he was fishing was another story.
It was a few days after I moved in, A.K.A. last week. I didn't have anything to do, so I decided to follow Tiberius, who was claimed to be the best fisherman in town.
He was his usual self, grumpy, quiet, a volcano that was ready to explode.
At first I didn't say much, I just watched as he threw his line in the river and waited for a fish to bite. After a while though, I got bored. He'd only caught two fish in one hour, and there wasn't much action. I guess I got impatient or something, so I started talking my head off. Tiberius was already in a bad enough mood with me being there, but with me being noisy, he went crazy.
"Kat! Shut up and go away! You are the worst sister EVER!" He had yelled.
I ran away, disappearing into the town where I had no friends except for my brothers. That was the reason I was sitting on the beach, watching the sun set. I didn't have anything else to do.
I sighed. I shouldn't have moved. There was nothing good in this town.
"Hello."
I flinched and spun around, shocked when I found a hedgehog standing in front of me.
"Hi," I replied, getting to my feet and brushing the sand off my clothes.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Um… nothing really."
"Oh."
There was silence for a minute, and I began getting the feeling that I might not be as alone as I thought I was in this town. But could this hedgehog be trusted as a friend?
