Kayla sighed. The road to Grandpa's was bumpy and Kayla could no longer rest her blonde head on the window.
Kayla couldn't remember what time it was when they left Arizona, Callum and Jake climbing in beside her, mom packing loads of small bags into the foot well of the passenger seat and then some bigger bags onto the passenger seat, making them pile so high that she had to put a seat belt on the tower of bags to make the car stop making the beeping noise when someone doesn't have their seat belt on.
Matthew and Will had gotten into Will's car, their car taking more bags as their back seat wasn't filled with people. It was just mom, Kayla and her four brothers, Callum, Jake, Matthew and Will. Matthew and Will had black hair and last year, had dyed their hair with silver streaks.
Then they found out that the dye didn't come out after 6 washes. Kayla had found it funny that they both had went into the shower three times in 1 day, panicking that they might need to cut off their hair as the school rules didn't allow 'unnatural colours'.
Don't think for a second that Kayla's brothers are innocent though. They are not. Matthew is 18, Will and Callum are non-identical twins and used to get the same birthday party on the same day. Jake and Kayla are also non identical twins, Jake almost an hour older than Kayla.
That makes Kayla the baby of the family, even though she is 16. They had to move out of Arizona and into the shit hole called Santa Carla.
Or whatever it is called. All because Grandpa Liam got kicked by a cow on his farm AGAIN. Apparently this time, it's 'serious'. None of the Thompson kids buy it though. They all knew that mom hated their town in Arizona with a passion, because that's where her divorced husband lived. At the other side of the town. Far away from them. Mom jumped at the chance to move house.
"HERE WE ARE! OUR NEW HOME!" The farm house didn't look like a farm house. It was a red brick semi-detached house with a little patch of a garden. Behind the semi-detached house, there was a small back garden.
Grandpa bought the field behind his house, so there was a small gate leading out from the back garden to a farm. There were cows, pigs and sheep on the farm.
Kayla's favourite were the dogs. Grandpa had 6 dogs, 2 great Danes, 2 sheepdogs and 2 greyhounds. Kayla had named all of them. The great Danes were Lily and Dave, the 2 grey hounds were called Bolt and Barry. Kayla's favourite dog was the sheepdog called Ronan. The other sheepdog was called Santa. It was Grandpa's first dog when he moved to Santa Carla.
It is old and rarely ever helps with the sheep. Grandpa was sitting in a rocking chair by the front door on the porch, a straw hat protecting his eyes from the sun.
