Chapter 2: New House
A week had passed after the funeral and everyone left for home. My uncles and cousins left first along with all the family friends who came out. They all had lives to return to, family and friends waiting at home for them, my brothers went home too.
The only people who remained were me and my parents. We had discussed what would happen to the house and after some hesitation they agreed to let me live in Beacon Hills by myself as long as I continued school and called them every night.
We spent a day settling matters, getting me settled in, registering me in Beacon Hills High School, and signing the house in my name.
My mom promised to send my belongings to me as soon as she could and my dad told me to be careful, to always lock my doors and windows at night.
I thought that was kinda extreme, it's a small town and a nice neighborhood. Besides who would want to steal any of my stuff? It's not worth much.
Then they too left for home. I spent two weeks getting familiarized with the house, and the town.
I met Dr. Deaton when I asked about a pet I could adopt. He seemed nice, a little mysterious and weird, but kind none the less.
I also met some of my neighbors, a few older folks that had been friends with my grandma, a creepy guy who lived a few blocks over, and some nice younger couples who all promised to help me if I ever needed anything, I trusted the younger couples and the older folks but that creepy guy I'm just gonna pretend he doesn't exist.
During those weeks my stuff all arrived as promised by my parents and I was set to start school the next Monday.
