The Wood family sat in their new Mercedes station wagon that was packed with stuff and drove into the small town with varied expectations. Why were they here? The three kids that sat in the back including the ever- pessimistic Autumn were completely clueless. All they knew was that they came back from visiting their cousin's in England and everything was packed in boxes. "Welcome to Everwood" Their dad the prestigious Dr. Albert Wood said as they drove passed the entire down town in less than ten minutes. Everwood at first glance seemed a one-doctor town to Autumn with no need for specialists such as her father and no need for her mother the ballet dancer turned lawyer and no dace program for her. Winter her older brother flicked the back of her head when they pulled in the driveway of their new home. "We have to get to school c'mon," He said as he got out of the back. He was her fathers pride and joy, all he did was football, football, and football. His grades sucked, but he was on the foot ball team so magically every quarter he managed to pull a c average so he could play and take the stupid team to states. Now that wasn't going to work, no football here so he was just as up set as she was. She opened the back and hopped out. They had been driving for three days she was sick of her family and the yellow lines on the road. Her book bag was next to her she picked it up and slammed the back and looked at the house. It looked like a post card. She then looked across the street to find a boy sitting on a porch swing watching them get out of the car. Speaking of cars the other cars were already in the driveway. Autumn checked her watch and sighed it was only seven in the morning and already she was tired. "Dad can you pull out the wagon, I need to get to school," she said as she tapped her foot and ran over to her pride and joy her 1974 midnight blue Mercedes 450SL. She unlocked her convertible and tossed her bag in the back on the little bench that could pass as a backseat. Her father turned and looked at her. "Don't you want to go and see which one is your room? Or at least have breakfast?" He father asked as he paused on their porch. "No, I want to get to school, you never cared about me eating before why care now?" She screamed as she took her bag out of her car and slammed the door. "I'll walk" she said as she started off down the small street. She was so absorbed in her own world that she bumped into the boy from across the street. "Whoa there" He said in a bland voice as he took a step back. She looked at him and shook her head and almost laughed. He didn't look like a boy from a small little hopeless town. He was tall with dark red hair and cold blue eyes, and he was pale like inner city Goth pale. "You just said whoa there, I think I'm gonna keep walking" she said as she started down the street. "Hey are you going to the high school?" He called after her she turned around. "Yeah, what's it to you?" "I go there too, by the way my name's Ephraim," He said as he awkwardly grasped at the strap of his book bag. "Autumn" She said as she turned back around and started to walk off again like some bad cheesy teen movie.
