Chapter 1 – Arriving In Malibu

August 2006

It is a nice bright sunny day in Malibu and a new girl arrives with a single mother and her little brother. They were unpacking things and taking them into the house.

All the boys and girls that lived on the neighbour were looking at them and smiling. As they finished unpacking the van the mother had paid and went inside with her little boy and her daughter.

1st September 2006

Everyone was back at school and everyone was with friends apart from one who didn't know anyone. She had gone to her locker and it was right by boys she didn't know.

As she put things in she dropped a book and bent down to pick it up and so did the boy that was standing next to her and they both put they hands on the book and then looked at each other.

'Is this your book?' the boy asked.

'Yeah, it is' the girl answered.

He picked it up and they both stood up and he gave it to her.

'I'm Oliver by the way'

'Nice to meet you Oliver' the girl said.

'Is that it?' Oliver questioned. 'Not going to tell me your name'

'Sorry how rude of me, I'm Lilly'

'Well Lilly nice to meet you too' Oliver replied. 'Have you been here long?'

'Nope, me and my mum moved here in August due to problems back at my normal home' Lilly responded.

'Well I'm happy to be your friend' Oliver said smiling.

'Err well that nice of you but I need to get to English' Lilly let out walking to English.



Oliver had followed her to English and she noticed they were in the same group.

'Right everyone, we have new student with us and her name Lilly Truscott' the teacher burst out. 'You can sit here next to Mr Oken and your guide around the school today'

Lilly looked at Oliver and smiled. At the lunch table Lilly sat down at one and Oliver joined her.

'Hey Lillian' Oliver let out.

'My name is Lilly'

'OK, Lilly how you're first day been?' Oliver asked.

'Good thanks' Lilly answered.

'Cool, so you're coming in tomorrow' Oliver said.

'Well yeah, I'm not going to move school again' Lilly replied.

'Well maybe I can walk you home' Oliver responded.

'My mum picking me up' Lilly said.

'OK, maybe another time' Oliver replied.

'Yeah maybe' Lilly let out.

At the end of the day Lilly walked to her mum car and got in.

'So how was your first day?' the mother asked.

'It was fine mum' Lilly answered.

'Make any friends?'

'No' Lilly lied. 'Being the new girl and everything'

'What are the boys like?'

'Smelly, gross, disgusting what else can I say?' Lilly questioned.

'Well all boys are like that' the mother said.



'Yeah I know' Lilly muttered.

As Miss Truscott was driving down the street, she saw Oliver and told her mum to stop.

'Mum stop, can I walk from here?' Lilly asked.

'Yeah sure' Miss Truscott answered.

Lilly got out and Miss Truscott drove off and Lilly saw Oliver and she coughed and Oliver looked at her and he smiled at her and she returned the smile.

'You wanted to walk me home, your dream has come true' Lilly said.

'We'll look like it has' Oliver replied.

'So do you live down here?' Lilly asked.

'Yeah, have since I was 7 years old' Oliver answered.

'What number door?'

'21' Oliver said.

'I'm right next to you' Lilly replied.

'Oh totally cool' Oliver burst out. 'Are we friends yet?'

'Looks like it' Lilly said.

When Lilly got into her house she shut the door and smiled and Miss Truscott saw it.

'Wow, who put a smile on your face?' Miss Truscott asked.

'A very good friend' Lilly answered and her phone beeped and it was text message.

Hey Lil, wanna go out this Friday tb Ollie

'Mum, can I go out this Friday?'

'Yeah sure' Miss Truscott said walking into the kitchen.

Lilly had text Oliver back.



Ollie, I would love to go out this Friday Lil

Lilly went upstairs and into her room and she got her diary out and started writing into it.

Dear Diary,

This has been one of the best day of my life, I started at Sea view High and I met this really cute boy and he name Oliver but he letting me call him Ollie and he asked me out this Friday which is totally cool I can't wait.

I do miss my old life back in L.A. but this is totally so much better a brand new start and a very good start. I feel bad for my mum, she being totally cool with me going out and letting me do my own things now but it all cool, my mum happy and I'm happy and so it my little brother Max.

Anyway I'm tired night.

Lilly closed the diary and put it back in her cupboard and locked it and smiled to herself.

Okay, I know it my first chapter but it will better.
