We all get home from the school, and I ran to my room to change my shirt. I then went downstairs to the bonus room and grabbed my acoustic guitar. I sat on the floor and started to write. I only wrote my music when I was upset. When my dad passed away, I wrote over 50 songs. I then heard the doorbell rang, and I completely ignored it. My mom will get it, I said to myself. About twenty minutes later, my mom came down.
"Hunny, our new neighbors invited us over for dinner."She said sweetly.
"Im not going," I said not even looking up and strumming on my guitar.
"They have two boys that are your age."
I looked up with a smile on my face and nodded to my mom. She said we are leaving in 15 minutes so I decided to go upstairs and change. I put on a zip up hoodie and zipped it up halfway, then I ran downstairs.
"Ready?" my mom asked putting on her jacket. I nodded my head and my sister, my mom, and I were all ready to go.
We arrived at their house and we were greeted by a red headed women who looked to be in her late 30's early 40's.
"Hey! Nice to see you! Come on in! Glad you guys could make it!" She said with a smile on her face. Just then, a man that looked like to be her husband, a boy about my age, and a girl about 10 came over.
"Well Ms. Parker, these are my daughters. Brianna and Caitlin. Brianna is 16 and Caitlin is 14."
"Nice to meet you two. This is Josh, Megan, and my husband, Mr. Nichols."
"Its nice to meet all of you," I said forcing out a smile.
"I thought you said you had two sons?" my mom asked.
"I do, my son is at band practice. Im really sorry he couldn't make it."
"So your son is in a band? What does he play?" I said, very interested.
"He plays guitar and he is lead singer."
"Really? My daughter sings and plays guitar," my mom said.
"You two will probably get along then," she said still smiling.
The parents walked into the kitchen and Josh, Caitlin, Megan, and I all walked to the living room.
"So where did you guys move from?" Josh asked.
"Connecticut," I answered.
"Wow, that's far." Megan said.
All of us talked for about thirty minutes, then we all ate dinner. We said goodbye to one another then we all left. Josh seems cool, I thought to myself. I can tell we are going to be great friends.
The next day, Caitlin and I went to school. We both went to the main office becuase we were ten minutes late.
"Your late, and you are?" the lady said very rudly.
"Im Brianna Collins and this is my sister Caitlin Collins." I said.
"Oh, your both new, right? Your mom called already so I don't have to give you detentions. Drake, late again I see." The lady said. I turned around and saw the boy who bumped into me the other day looking at me.
"Thats your 20th detention, Drake. You know what that means. Two days of ISS." She said. My sister left and I was just about to leave when the lady told me to come over to her desk. She looked over at Drake and started to talk to him. "I really rather not do that to you, so I guess I can write you a pass, but you have to do something for me. This is Brianna Collins. I want you to show her where to go for her first period class. Can you do that?"
Drake looked at her then at me. He said yes and we both left. I started to walk ahead of him, trying to avoid him.
"Um Brianna right? Im sorry about yesterday. Um, well im--"
"Drake, I know. You can go to your first period class, I will be fine on my own. Im a big girl."
"Can I see your schedule?" I kept walking ignoring him. "Please?" he asked. I stoped in my tracks and gave him my schedule.
"Well, you have first period with me. Us History." I grabbed my schedule away from him and walked ahead of him. He tried to catch up and talk, but I just kept walking faster. I was finally in front of room 112 and I walked in.
Before I knew it, it was lunch time. I didn't have anyone to sit with, but just as I walked into the cafeteria, I heard my name being called. I saw Josh and I decided to go sit with him.
"Hey Bree!" He said.
"Hey," I said,
"How's your first day of school so far?"
"It's okay."
"This is my girlfriend Mindy. The one I was talking about."
"Oh yeah. Hi Mindy."
"Hey" she said smiling.
"You want to come over today?" Josh asked. Mindy gave him a kind of you-did-not-just-asked-that look. I saw her and I shook my head, and Josh noticed Mindy's reaction.
"Mindy, its okay you can come too. Can you come now?" he asked again.
"All right." I said with a smile.
"Okay, just come over after school."
Before I knew it, it was 1:00. Finally, schools out. I drove home and walked over to Josh's house. I rang the doorbell and Drake answered the door. I looked over at the number of the house, just to make sure I got the right house.
"Um yeah?" he said.
"Your Josh's brother?"
"Yeah."
"Can my day get any worst. Where is he?"
"He drove with Mindy and they aren't here yet. You can come in."
I walked in and sat on the couch. Drake just stood there, and it began to get awkward.
"You can go upstairs if you want. Im fine." I said.
"Why can't we talk?"
"Well, you don't have any soda on you, so it looks like you can't do any harm for now." I said sarcastically.
"So where did you move from?" he asked, completely ignoring my statement.
"Connecticut."
Just then Josh walked in with Mindy by his arm.
"Hey Bree! Good, you're here. Let's go upstairs. Do you like Game Sphere?"
"I love it!" I said.
We all walked up to Josh's room and sat down on the couch. I noticed an electric guitar on a chair.
"Oh my god. That's a real nice guitar. I didn't know you play."
"It's not mine. Its Drake's."
"Oh right. He plays guitar."
"Yeah. You seem to have a lot in common."
That was the last thing I wanted to hear. I guess we just got off to the wrong start, I then thought. No Bree, he spilled coke on the shirt your dad got you, the last thing you have ever gotten from him.
Just then, my cell phone rang. It was my mom and she wanted me to go home. I said my goodbyes and I left.
