Phoebe POV
I went back to my new bedroom to start to put my clothes away into the wardrobe and drawers, putting my shoes in a neat line next to my drawers. When that was finally finished I put down the old and torn yellow curtains and put my new purple ones up that I brought from the old place, as well as laying out my yellow furry rug in the centre of the room. I also placed my comfy swivel orb chair into the corner next to some shelves where I'll be putting some of my decorations and books on.
The last thing I do is line up my cameras and equipment on and by a desk in front of a window, I also placed my mini fridge beside it so I can store my film inside so they don't go off, yep I am now completely unpacked.
I start to hear loud footsteps on the stairs, I peek out of my bedroom door to see mum with many hats on her head with some bags, it's a good look I suppose,
"You ok mum?" I ask, she smiles at me from this, though grinning when I giggle at her many hat look.
"I'm good thank you sweetie, your brothers are just trying to kill one another" she says, I smile at this and make my way downstairs to see them opening some sliding doors,
"Hey what are you guys doing?" I ask, going over to them to see that the room inside looks like something from the Texas chainsaw masica,
"Oh my god, are those animal stuffing's?" I ask, looking at the place with a look of disgust, I see the two nod in unison whilst still staring into the room,
"Rules!" shouts grandpa, we all turn at the same time to see Grandpa looking at us,
"Got some rules around here" he says, then indicating for us to go with him to the kitchen, and when we're in there he opens the fridge and indicates a shelf that has a flap over it reading "Old Fart" which I had to cover my mouth from laughing at,
"Second shelf is mine... keep my root beers and double-thick Mint Oreo cookies there... Nobody touches the second shelf..." he says, I see in the corner of my eye Michael indicating to Sam of a plant that I know is Marijuana and seeing Sam smirking from this. We all follow grandpa out of the kitchen towards that horrible room,
"When the mailman brings the T.V. Guide on Wednesdays, sometimes the corner of the address label will curl up... You'll be tempted to peel it off. Don't. You'll end up ripping the cover and I don't like that..." he says, and now walking into the room,
"... And stay outta here" he says about to close the doors until Sam stops him,
"Wait – wait! You have a TV?" he asks, looking at grandpa with hope, I smirk at this.
"No, I just like to read the T.V. Guide. Read the T.V. Guide, you don't need a T.V..." he says, then closing the doors, suddenly I can't hold it in, I burst out laughing, from the disappointed look on Sam's face after what grandpa just said was hilarious,
"Shut up" says Sam.
"Hey guys, I'm going to head out onto the boardwalk and see if there are any jobs going on, any of you want to come with me?" asks mum, who I see is walking down the stairs,
"Can I get changed first mum?" I ask, wanting to get out of these clothes that I've been wearing all the time in the car today, she smiles and nods, I dash upstairs to my room to change my clothes.
I end up wearing a pink summer dress that comes up to my knees, with a leather jacket on and a pair of my army boots to go with it all, and to top it off I put on my waist pouch to put my keys and purse in as well as a small film camera that fits just right in there, then I just quickly brush through my hair and wash my face and some other quick things too.
I hurry downstairs and into mum's car, thinking that riding my bike in this dress would be a bad idea.
It didn't take long before we arrived at the boardwalk,
"Ok guys, I'll be back at the car at eleven" says mum, we nod at this,
"We're going to go check out the stalls and bonfires on the beach, wanna come or do you wanna do your own thing?" asks Michael, I look around me quickly and smile,
"I'm going to go around and find what I come across, I'll see you guys later" I say, from this they nod and go on their way, I look around thinking of where to start, then begin to go in the way that mum went, might be some nice sights around.
Looking around a lot of people seem to have their own thing going on, tattoo artists, piercings, clothes stalls its almost all there, well all but a photo stall, maybe I could open my own stall open the weekends somewhere to help mum with the money.
"Hey look, new meat" I look to my right to see teens with not so pleasant looks. Deciding not to cause a scene, I carry on walking.
"Hey wait up baby!"
"Crap" I murmur, starting to walk faster, but I can hear them behind me,
Why did I nod go with Michael and Sam, I mean I'm not a weak little girl, but this is not what I want my first day of being at Santa Carla to be of having to cause trouble.
Not looking at where I'm going I end up at a dead end.
"Hello girly looks like you got nowhere else to run"
I turn around glaring at them, who do they think they are, rounding up girls on their own and stalk them like pray.
Its two idiot guys, look like they're about eighteen, maybe in their late seventeen's.
"Let me pass" I say, but they only grin, and begin to stalk over to me, but my glare just gets worse, I do NOT like these guys.
Just as they're about to make their move I go up to the one on the right and jump kick him in the chin, throwing him to the floor with my landing lightly on my feel with my right leg to the side slightly, and just as the other guy is about to come at me, I punch him right in the nose, throwing him over by hi friend wit him covering his now bloody nose with his hands,
"Next time don't underestimate us girls," I say, walking out of the alleyway I somehow ended up in, next time I come out here I am definitely bringing out some pepper spray.
"Nice moves"
Startled, I look to my right to see...someone I did not expect.
A guy around Michael's and my age, blond – and mine almost white spiky hair, biker clothes, and the most sexy and handsome face I've ever seen.
"T-thanks" I say, finally able to find my voiced,
"How long were you watching?" I ask, looking at him curiously, was he just walking by while I was fighting or something?
"First saw when you asked them politely to let you pass," he says, I narrow my eyes at him from this that was technically from the very beginning.
"But you didn't think to help me? How very un-gentlemanly of you" I say, now beginning to walk along, away from him. But I hear him follow behind me until he's walking along beside me,
"Look I was going to but as soon as I saw that kick I have to admit I was shocked and then that punch you gave to that other one was just...the sexiest thing I have ever seen" he says, I arch an eyebrow up, looking to my side, seeing him watching me with a relaxed smile on, I can't help but smile back.
"You're new here aren't you?" he asks, I nod from this,
"Moved here from Phoenix with my mum and two brothers" I say, he nods at this with an interested look, but I can't help but laugh,
"You don't have to pretend to be interested in my feeble little life" I say, he looks at me confused with this, with that smile still on,
"Who said I was pretending, I am genuinely interested in you. Would you like to meet my boys?" he asks, I look at him trying to figure out his words,
"Your boys?" I ask,
"My lifelong friends, we're sort of a gang if you will, wanna raid the records store with us, we just like to see if there's anything interesting in there, that and we know the owner will get a little annoyed, and if we turn up with a pretty thing like you then he might not chuck us out too quickly" he says, I smirk at this, and then look at him teasingly,
"You think I'm pretty?" I ask in a pretend girly voice, which causes us both to laugh.
"Hey David, where have you been?"
I look in front of us to see three teens me and this guys age, all in funky looking clothes,
"Boys, there's someone I think you should meet" says the guy I've been walking and talking with, I look to him with a cheeky grin, waiting until he introduces me to them,
"These are my boys, Marko, Paul and Dwayne" he says, I smile at them who nod and smile friendly back at me,
"I think you may have forgotten to tell her yours," says Dwayne grinning at the sort of leader of this group who I've been walking with.
The man in question looks to me with a smile that looks like he's about to laugh and suddenly stands up straight, which causes me to breathe out a silent laugh, then he steps closer to me with left arm now bent behind his back and then he picks up my left hand.
I can't help but giggle at this, and the boys are sniggering by us, which does not help,
"My lady, my name is David, may I have the pleasure of knowing your name?" says David, I grin widely at this,
"Charmed" I say, trying to sound posh which makes them all laugh including me,
"I would be lady Anderson, Miss Phoebe Anderson" I say, then to top it all off I do my best curtsy without looking away at David who is smiling widely at me, and unexpectedly kiss' my hand,
"It is an honour to meet you Lady Phoebe," he says and I end up giggling again.
"Ok you weirdo's lets go look into Max's shop, he might have been lucky and got something good in" says Paul, I nod along with David and follow them towards some stalls,
"So where did Miss Anderson reside before here?" asks Marco, looking at me suspiciously but in a funny way,
"Phoenix" I say, he nods.
I feel a warm strong arm wrap around my shoulders and I then feel myself being pulled towards David, I look to him in question but with no complaining, I like this strangely enough, even though I just met these guys I can tell already that they're awesome.
He looks down at me, as I'm just a few inches smaller than him, and smiles at me, looking at me almost like something that belongs to him, but for some weird reason I like that look, I've always wanted to feel like I belonged somewhere and here, under David's arm, at his side, I feel more myself and free than I have ever felt in my life.
"Want to hang with us from now on?" he asks, I smile and nod in answer, receiving a winning smile off him and a cheer from the boys that makes me laugh.
Subconsciously as we continues walking along the boardwalk, having conversations with one another, my left arm went around David's waist and my head leant against his shoulder blade, and not once did he complain, and the feel of his arm around me only felt more and more natural.
"Come on then, lets introduce you to Max" says David, though as he says this I see him smirk and I can only smile back at him for this, I know what that look means, even though I've just met these guys, that look only says two words: Fun Time.
