Hi everyone! for anyone wondering, I'm not dead. Ever since summer started i've had no insperation. i've got a couple stories on my computer but they are all plotless beginings, OOC, and not worth finishing or posting on here. So this is my attempt at getting writing again. It's pretty OOC but hopefully I'll get better in later chapters. for some reason i can't ever get people in charactor. Anyways, the first couple chapters are just kinda introductions and noting real intresting happens, but stick with me. It'll get better. I hope... I really don't know how often I'll be updating.
I will not be disclosing pairings because i havn't decided on any yet, Besides SarahxEthan cuz they're cute.
Disclaimer: I do not own my babysitters a vampire or anything related...blah blah blah just read the story.
"It's nice to meet you," Mrs. Morgan said, sticking out her hand. I nodded silently and shook it. My mom smiled apologetically at our new neighbors.
"Sam is just shy, you know. Not a big talker."
"We understand. Our son Ethan isn't always great around strangers either. Anyways, we just wanted to come over and welcome you to the neighborhood. And if it's alright with you Sam is more than welcome to come over and meet Ethan. He's up in his room doing whatever teenagers do with his friends. I'm sure it will be nice for Sam to know some kids before starting school."
They spoke as if I wasn't standing a foot away, as if I couldn't hear them. I was used to it, but sometimes I just wanted to scream 'I'm right here!'
"That's a wonderful idea." My mom gushed. "Sam, honey,"—there she went talking like I was a five year old—"why don't you go meet Ethan and his friends while I finish unpacking."
I nodded again, knowing it wasn't a question, and pulled my baseball cap lower over my eyes as I followed the Morgan's across the street. We just moved it, my mom and me, and she was really trying hard, but she tended to baby me.
"His room is right upstairs, to the left." Mr. Morgan told me. I nodded once more, mumbled a quick "thanks,"—the first sound they'd heard out of my mouth—and half-jogged up the stairs.
I knocked hesitantly on the door plainly stated "Ethan's" and waited till someone called out "What's the password?" I remained silent, partly from confusion, and partly because I wasn't usually big on talking. After a moment I heard a video game being paused as someone stood up in order to open the door.
A boy with black and brown eyes pulled open the door, a confused expression on his face when he saw me. "Are you Ethan?" I asked, stuffing my hands into the pockets of my oversized sweatshirt, a nervous habit of mine.
"Yeah…" he said hesitantly, "And you are…?"
"Sam. We just moved in across the street and you're mom and my mom sort of forced me into 'meeting some kids before I start school'. So…here I am." Suddenly the computer screen caught my attention. "No way! You have Robo-zombie III? I've been looking everywhere for it. It's sold out everywhere!"
Okay…I'm a total geek.
"Yeah. You want to play?" he offered, opening the door wider to let me in.
"Heck yeah!" I plopped down on the bed and snatched up a controller. Ethan did a quick introduction of me to his friends Benny and Rory, and we were off.
An hour later I'd beaten all three boy's high scores. "Oh yeah," Benny said jokingly, "you want to go? But you're not so tough in real life." He laughed, tackling me on the bed. My head snapped back, causing my baseball cap to go flying. I lit up like a Christmas tree; which seems like an accurate description considering my emerald eyes and long red hair—which had been stuffed in my hat—were now unmistakable.
"Dude," Benny said, in visible shock, "you're a girl."
"What of it?" I said harshly, pushing him off of me. All three boys seemed at a loss for words, but were saved by the appearance of a girl with dark brown hair and chocolate eyes walking it.
"Hey guys, your parents just left and—who's your friend?"
"Uh, hi," I said awkwardly, scrambling up from my position on the bed. "I'm Samantha, but you can call me Sam. I just moved in across the street, and…"
"She didn't tell us she was a girl." Rory cut in, obviously on Benny's side. I quickly snatched up my cap from where it fell and stuffed my hair into it, pulling it even lower on my eyes than before.
"I think it would be best if I left," I said, and was already halfway out the door.
Ethan caught up to me when I was stepping into the street. "Hey wait up!" he called. "Look, I'm sorry about Benny and Rory. They're just…not used to…"
"Finding out that the new guy is actually a girl? Whatever." I started to turn away but he grabbed my arm.
"Hey, it's not like that. It was just kind of a shock you know? I mean—"
I sighed, my features softening. "Relax. It's not a big deal. Trust me; I've had worse reactions. No hard feelings."
"Well, if you want, Benny and I walk to school together, and you could walk with us on Monday."
I gave a small smile. "Sure. But I've got to go help my mom unpack. I'll see you."
Okay, anyone see that coming? the whole Sam's a girl thing? yes? no? tell me in a review. anyways, in case you didn't figure it out, Sam didn't talk much because she didn't want people to recognize her voice as a girls. you can add any questions in a review and i'll answer them the best i can in the next chapter, but i don't have much idea where this is going. don't review if you don't want to. it'd be nice but i'm not going to beg. if you read it and are likeing it have a blast, that's what i'm here for. if you hate it flame if you want. it'll keep me nice and warm. just don't keep flaming in other chapters. if you don't like it, stop reading.
constructive criticism is welcome. i'm trying to get out of my writing slump. Byez :)
