Faith Marie, was 15 years old, she had long black hair, deep green eyes, and beautiful brown skin. Faith was a rather troubled teen,and was moving to Mystic Falls this weekend with her older brother Tyler, who was 19. Their parents had died 10 years ago, causing her and Tyler to be sent to a foster home. They became really close during this time. When Tyler finally turned 18 he was able to become Faith's legal guardian. They were tired of living in Florida and though it would be good for them if they moved out of the state. Tyler had gone up to Mystic Falls in May to find a house for them. Faith trusted him because she knew they had the same taste when It came to decorating and picking stuff out. They both agreed on a place and then the hard work began which was packing.
"Ty?, What time are you going to get the moving truck?", I called from upstairs.
"At 12 o'clock", he answered back.
I went back into my room to do some last minute packing. iPod. check. Phone charger, check. Eyeliner, check. I taped up the last box I had in my room and pushed into the hallway. Tyler came up to see how far I had got packing. I was done.
"Hey kid-O", he said and I smiled.
"Hey", I said back, "I'm all done. I've finished packing my bathroom and my room!"
"Awesome!", he gave me a high five.
"Can you carry those boxes in the hallway downstairs for me? They are too heavy", I laughed softly.
"Sure thing", He walked to the boxes and picked up two at a time, then walked back downstairs and stacked them up by the door.
I sat down on the middle of the floor thinking about all the memories I've had in this house. I was the "creepy" girl at my school. Even though I wasn't creepy at all. I was a bit of a quiet girl. I was tired of being labeled at Chessbury High. Ty called to me that he was going to pick up the moving truck. About 15 minutes later he was back so I went down to help him. He opened back of the truck and started loading the heaviest and biggest objects first. After he was done I loaded the lighter things into the truck. In an hour and a half the truck was loaded.
It was 3:00 p.m. and we were already tired so we grabbed our sleeping bags and went to take a nap. When I woke up it was 5 o'clock. Ty was already up.
"Are you hungry FM?", he often called me that.
"Yeah", I looked at him.
We went to get food and after we ate we said our last goodbyes to the house and we were on our way to Mystic Falls! It would take us 12 hours to reach Mystic Falls. I was so excited for the ride!.. not. Tyler and I talked and listened to music most of the way there.
"So who's ready to start Mystic Falls High Monday!", Ty screamed.
I laughed shaking my head. "I'm really nervous about starting a new school."
"There's nothing to be nervous about. I'm sure you will make friends in no time!", he smirked "You might even find yourself boyfriend!"
I tried not to smile to wide. "Maybe... but If I do, please don't scare him away like you did when I was with Chris."
"Im not making any promises lil sis", he winked.
I put my ear buds in and started to listen to P!nk. I loved her since I was little. I closed my eyes feeling the rhythm as I sang, "Made a wrong turn, once or twice. Dug my way out blood and fire... Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you less than, less than perfect!" I was in my own little world jamming when Ty poked me. I opened my eyes just in time to see a sign that said "Mystic Falls - 150 Miles". I turned my music off and laid my seat back to take a nap.
-Some Time Later-
"Faith? Wake up FM", a gentle voice called.
"I'm..", I yawned "up."
I rose my seat up and looked at Ty then the road "Mystic Falls - 5 miles"
"YAY!, Were almost there", I did a happy dance in my seat.
-30 Minutes Later-
"Welcome To Mystic Falls, VA"
"The house isn't far from here!", Ty said getting excited.
We drove 2 miles then took 3 lefts and a right. There was a huge 2 story house that looked like it belonged somewhere in Spain. It was beautiful! After Ty parked I attempted to jumped out of the moving truck and run to the door. But I ended up falling on the gravel because my legs were stiff from the ride.
"Ouch!", Ty ran over and helped me up. "Thanks"
"Are you alright?", he was laughing a little.
"Im fine!", I smacked him across his head and he stopped laughing. "That's what you get!", I was laughing now.
We walked to the door together and Ty opened it. My mouth dropped and I was in shock. Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Ahh! I ran around the house exploring. The basement, the 2nd floor and the attic. It was so big!
"This house is the bomb!", I grinned.
"I know right!", Ty said as I gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.
We went outside to start unloading the truck and a neighbor came out and introduced herself.
"Hi!", she exclaimed, "My name is Kourtney Bennett! I live across the street!"
"Hey", I smiled. "Im Faith Lockwood and this is my brother Tyler."
I turned to Ty and he said hi to Kourtney.
"It's nice to meet you Kourtney", Tyler smiled charming.
"It's very nice to meet you guys also", Kourtney was biting he lip as she said it looking at Ty.
I quickly changed to subject.
"So, How old are you? What school do you go to?, I smiled"
She smirked, "I go to the one.. I only... Mystic Falls High School! I'm 15!"
I laughed, "I start there Monday!"
"Really? I can show you around if you'd like?"
"I would love that!", I laughed considering I didn't know where anything was.
"You can catch the bus with me Monday at 6:00", Kourtney said.
"Sounds good to me", I nodded.
"Well I better go in, It's getting late and my mom will freak", she laughs, "See you around!", she said before she turned and walked back to her big yellow house.
"OK, see ya!", I smiled then turned to Ty. "Looks like I made a friend already!"
"I told you it wouldn't be hard!", He put his arm around my shoulder.
"Maybe your right."
We unpacked our sleeping bags and a few other things because It was late. We would finish unpacking tomarrow. Tyler and I got pizza for dinner, showered then went to bed.
