The cool air rushed through the windows as my mom rolled them down to reveal a dark and mysterious scenery. The sky was an unnatural shade of purple and black and the houses seemed out of place. The people walking around seemed even more so. I had been awake now for quite sometime, resulting form the annoying sounds coming from the radio which my mom called "good" music. Sterling, on the other hand, was still fast asleep by my side. I had forgotten he could sleep through anything.

"OK kids. Were here. This is our new home." My mom said in an unexcited tone. I shook my lover awake and lazily opened the door with little enthusiasm. The atmosphere was dreadful. The smell of failure and stupidity filled my nostrils with much force. Sterling and my mother noticed it as well.

"Well, I'm going to go inside and pick out a room. Sterling, you coming?" I said as I picked up the first box my mom unpacked from the trunk. He nodded and followed me in with boxes in both arms. I put the box next to the back door and headed towards the stairs. The hallway was massive. Well, to me, but I could stretch my arms out at full length and my fingertips would barley touch the walls. It was incredible.

I turned into a room that had black walls and tattered curtains. It seemed perfect. The first thing I noticed was the giant window on the bottom left side of the wall. It seemed to capture the entire city from one peek. I was bewitched by the beauty of the trees swaying outside in the wind.

"Hey…Ana, Could you help me with these?" I heard my mom say as she almost fell over because of extra weight. I ran to her to take the first box off of her hands and set them on my floor. "Well….I think this is a lovely room. I just hope we can fit all of your little nick nacks in here." She said looking satisfied with the room. I smiled and walked past her to get my bed from the back of the moving truck. I ran down the stairs to find Sterling waiting for me. He took my hand and pulled me close to him. The look in his eyes was unbearable to ignore. Those seductive eyes could force me to do anything. I took my hand from his and wrapped my arms around his neck. He smiled and kissed my lips gently before picking me up and carrying me outside. I laughed at his sudden action and held onto his neck quickly.

The truck was almost empty. All that was left were my things, and I had a lot of things. I was about to grab the first box when something grabbed my leg. I squeaked and jumped back. Sterling caught me and held me up. Looking down, I noticed a little black paw sticking out from under the truck.

"I got you….now your it." It said before disappearing. I felt confused as I looked underneath the truck to notice two little black feet running away from the other side of the truck. Quickly, I ran to the other side and barley caught a glimpse of a little black and green dog on its hind legs disappear behind a building. But the creepiest thing was it giggled the whole time.

I shook off the incident with the little green dog and placed the last boxes on my bed. It was now 8:30 PM and I was almost done with my room. We hadn't even eaten anything yet and my stomach wasn't even growling. Yet, we had been working all day. I had found the box with all of my posters and pictures for my walls and mirror. Smiling with excitement, I dumped it out on my floor and began searching for the nails and hammers.

"What are you doing?" Sterling asked me as I had my head stuffed into a box.

"Looking for the hammer." I said as my voice echoed to the top of the box. He laughed and pulled it out from behind me. Taking my head out of the box, I smiled in embarrassment and took the hammer from his hands. We began hanging posters up on the walls and putting my mirror up until we wasted an hour and a half hiding my wall behind paper and nick knacks.

I stood in the center of my room and looked around me in satisfaction. Crossing my arms, I stared at my poster that had guitar notes and realized my electric guitar was missing. Quickly, I rushed to my closet and found it in an abandoned box. I smiled as I put it on a stand by my T.V.

"Finally finished?" I heard a voice call out from behind me. Smiling from the familiarity of it, I turned to see my love in the doorway with a tray of goodies. Pizza, soda and two large slices of chocolate cake. He smiled as he put it on my dresser and walked towards me. "Time to eat." He said as he placed his lips on mine and began furiously kissing me. I smiled inside and kissed him back with much passion. He wouldn't let me go. I laughed into his mouth as he held my close and began biting my lower lip. I made a seductive growling noise and rubbed my nose against his. He smiled at this.

We lay on my floor and were stuffing our faces with cake when I heard my mothers footsteps come up the stairs. She knocked on the door and gave a speech to us, like all mothers do, about her going to bed and not staying up too late and behaving ourselves. I gave her the usual, 'I know' answer and she moaned in annoyance. All parents hate the 'I know' answer. I got up after she left and turned the lights off. Walking to the T.V, I put on a movie, Moulin Rouge, and lay in my bed. Sterling took our trash to the kitchen and joined me.

"So, you ready for school tomorrow?" He asked me as his arms wrapped around my waist to pull me close to him. I shrugged and placed my face close to his, motioning I wanted a kiss. He replied and kissed me gently.

"I don't know. I'm not really too excited about it. Johnny won't be there. Or Cody, or Dillon. I just want my friends back. I want to go home." I said as I dug my face into his chest. He inhaled heavily and let it out slowly.

"I know baby doll. But, at least we're together. I couldn't ask for more. I love you." He said as he reached up to pull my head up and meet his gaze. I smiled and kissed him once on the lips. He held me close and we fell asleep. Tomorrow was school. A new school with new people. Weird people. I wasn't too thrilled about it.
