"Serena... Serena.. , wake up hon were here!"
I moaned.. my head was killing me.. and now i had mom screaming in my ear, believe me it wasn't helping..
" I'm not asleep" i mumbled,
" What was that hon? i didnt catch it" she asked
" I said, im not asleep" I grumbled a little more clearly this time.
" Reeny you're gonna have to speak up.. I can't hear anything that you're.." she began,
But my patience with her had reached its limits, I bolted up in my seat and faced my mom,
" I SAID IM NOT ASLEEP" i yelled at the top of my lungs. I then slouched back down in my seat, I'd needed to vent some of my anger, ususally I'd take it out by pacing back and forth, but you know being squat in a car and all, well you do the math.
" Well that's good hon, cause no offense but it takes forever to wake you up" she replied as if hadn't just yelled straight to her face, honestly is this woman EVER not happy? answer: no.
I glanced around to see that we had indeed arrived to Bakuten. We were on the highway probably about 2 minutes away from being in the middle of town, and even from here you could see the entire thing. Which gives an excellent mental image of how small it is. I sighed, it was all too familiar.. the truth was I had been to Bakuten before. In fact I used to come here almost every summer, but only because my dad lived here. He and mom had gotten divorced when I was only 5 because my mom loved the big city life, while my dad had always been for the smaller towns. So realising only after they had a kid together that they had different dreams, they went their seperate ways. Dad moved here, and became a doctor, actually more like "the" doctor since the town was so small. My mom moved to New York along with me and became an interior decorater.
I had to admit it was going to be awkward living in the same town as both mom and dad, but I suppose I'll eventually get used to it.
" Isn't it gorgeous?" mom sighed, I stared at her, was she insane? Well, I had figured out the answer to that question a long time ago.
" Ya.. just dandy. Now can we start driving towards it instead of just gazing at it? Besides were holding up traffic" I urged her as I glanced back at the not so long, but still line of cars waiting to get into the intersection that our car was blocking entry to at the moment.
My mom didnt respond, she just started driving again. As the town got closer I began noticing all the familiar places, the as they called it "mall" which was more like a drug store to me, but hey it wasnt like id be there often, i had never been the shopping type. Then their was the movie store that me and my dad used to walk to almost everyday when i used to come here. To tell you the truth, I honestly didnt miss this place one bit. Nothing had changed. Nothing. It was still the same old run down little town that i had visited nearly 5 years ago.
By now we were in the middle of town and i could see many of the locals walking with their dogs, or heading to the beach, but none of the faces seemed familiar. I groaned , I missed my old friends, my old life. I didnt need a new one, I mean I wasnt doing amazinginly well in my old one, but I was grazing by just fine.
Mom pulled into a street where almost every house was huge. I raised and eyebrow, how had she managed to get us a house on this street? She then finally pulled up in front of a huge, and i mean huge house. I stared at it in aw.
" This is our new house?" I asked in a slightly shocked voice.
" God no honey, we could never afford this!" she said in a sort of a laugh.
Reality came crashing down on me. I sighed, figures.
" Okay.. so were parked in front of it because...?" i asked,
" Because, we will be living in the basement apartement, well actually it's not really an apartement, it's more like an attachement to the house, and the only part that we have to share with the family is the kitchen! We have our own living room, two bathrooms and two bedrooms! Isn't it perfect?"
I stared at her. Perfect? This was far from perfect, the last thing I wanted to do was share my kitchen with a bunch of complete strangers.
" Mom.. are you sure you're feeling alright?" i asked, almost begging that she would just yell out, " Joke!" or " I'm just kidding with you hon" like she usually does. But she just stared at me with a quizical look.
I sighed and got out of the car, slamming the door behind me, " My life is going to be a living hell" I groaned.
My mom quickly shut the car off and got out.
" Serena! Dont say that ! Please, this family has made an extremely generous offer for us, most places like this would cost a fortune! Just give it a chance." she practiaclly begged.
I looked at her. Just looked at her. Not because I was angry, but because I realised she was right. I hate that. I wasn't giving any of this a chance, not the town, the house, not even my mom. But I didnt want to give it a chance, any of it. I wanted to wake up from this nightmare and be home, my real home.
" Fine" I simply said.
She gave a sigh of relief and then smiled, " Don't worry the place is actually quite nice. Now the familys name is the Hiwatari. Chris and Joyce Hiwatari to be exact. I'm not exactly sure if they have any kids, but I do recall them saying something about having a boy. How old he is, I have no idea" she babbled on as she began unloading our suitcases from the trunk. I didnt respond, only nodded when I felt the time was right, to make it look like I was listening. But honestly the only two words I'd even gotten out of that entire phrase were "Hiwatari" and "Boy".
" Now they aren't at home right now, theyre at buisness meeting or something. But they said theyd love to give us a tour of our part of the house and theirs. And get a load of this, you see you're fathers medical company works a long side Mr. Hiwatari's, so Joyce said any friend of Rogers was a friend of theirs, so were both free to roam around the entire house!" she said, a huge grin plastered on her face. I smiled , but only a little. It would be nice to live in a mansion i spose.
" Isn't that hip?" she exclaimed. I cringed when she said "hip". My mom was so not in with the times.
" Mom... a hip is a body part , nothing about this house looks like a hip." I replied.
She only rolled her eyes, " Oh for heavens sake Serena, have a little sense of humor".
My mom then lead me down a path that led to the side of the house to a small blue door. She dropped all our bags on the gravel and picked the note off the door.
" Dear Helena and Serena
Were so glad that you decided to come live with us! The key is under the door mat, so get inside and get yourself settled in. Feel free to roam around a bit and make your self accustom to the house. Were out for a short buiness meeting, and heaven only knows were Kai has ran off to. Once we arrive home, us or our son, we'll give you a proper tour of the house. Till then!
Your new neighbours,
Chris and Joyce."
Great, now I was going to be living in the same house as a super rich and tacky couple, with their most likely 5 year old, spoiled, little scrawmy son. I think my life may have just gotten a little bit worse than it was five seconds ago.
My mom smiled, " Well that was very thoughtful of them, they seem very nice dont you think Serena?"
I blinked, " I think they must be complete idiots to leave a note on their door saying, ' Grab the key under the doormat and roam around our house'. I mean come on mom, this house is huge. Anyone could have just came up to this door, read the note, gotten inside the house and robbed them blind." I scoffed at their stupidity.
" Ren, this town is very small, Joyce has already informed me that their hasnt been a robery here in about 6 or 7 years" she reassured me.
We must look like complete idiots you know. Were standing outside this huge house, discussing how much theft goes on in this town.
" I can understand why robbers wouldnt come here, its not like theres anything to steal in this shitty ass town" i mumbled.
" Serena Anne-Marie MorningStar you watch your language!" she scolded.
See how impossible she is. Here I am, 17, and i'm not even allowed to say "ass"?
I simply shoved passed her and into the house. Once I was inside I dropped my bags and looked aound. I was in a fair sized porch that was painted a dark blue color. There was a bench across from me , and a large mirror hanging above it. To my right was a mat to lay your shoes, and on the left was a closet that I assumed you put your coats into.
I ignored the closet and simply dropped my coat to the floor. I then made my way out the sliding door that led to a nicely sized living space. It was painted a lighter blue, and had two sofas sitting opposite of one another. There a tv backed up against the wall and a coffee table in the middle of the room. There seemed to be paintings hanging just about everywere to suit the mood of the room. I smiled slightly, I had to admit that the house was, so far, actually livable. I turned my head around to see that behind me there was a wooden fireplace. Man these guys are rich.
I then slowly made my way down a hallway that had a couple of different doors coming off of it. The first one led to one of the two bedrooms. The walls were painted a bright yellow which immediatly turned me off. It had a double canapy bed in it with a blue conforter with yellow flowers. I frowned and immediatly exited the room that reminded me all too much of mom.
The second door led to a bathroom. It had beige painted walls and had all the essential elements of a washroom, shower, bath, toilet, sink. Nothing interesting.
I then came to the second last door, the last being the one at the end of the hall. This door led to the second bedroom, which was a big improvement to the last one. Its walls were burgundy and black and it had a double bed. There was also a full lenght mirror, a closet, a dresser and also three windows that were perfectly ground level. All in all it was your average room. Well more like my average room. It was simple, and I liked it.
I sighed and colapsted onto the bed. Finally I was beginning to feel a little more at home.
