Chapter 2: My New Life
CARRIES POINT OF VIEW:
I sighed, as I started to unpack my things. The house was small, so I had to share a room with Katrina, Joey and Kenny shared a room, and Kyle slept on the couch...the boys played rock paper sissors to see who got the couch...I laughed, thinking about that in my head. But, looking at my reflection in the mirror made me upset. I looked like so much like my mother, Jen. I sighed, as I put a towel of the mirror. This is my new life, I told myself. A new start.
Non of us were happy to share a room, especcaly Kyle, for he had to sleep on the couch, but we didn't have too much money, since Kenny and Joey were the only ones with jobs. Joey was an English teacher at Lilcon High School, and Kenny was a writer. Kyle, Katrina and myself appiled for a job. I never realized how hard it was to get a job. I applied to Mcdonalds, for I was that desperate. It didn't help that Kyle kept on getting new piercings.
"Cheer up, Carrie," Joey said, with his beautiful smile. "Kenny and I aren't that bad of roomates."
I laughed at that. Joey was always so postive. I walked outside for a sec, as I saw a movie truck, right next door.
"Hey, everyone come out here," I cried out. "We got new neibours."
A old man came out of the truck. At first, all we saw was his cane. He had a black cloak over him...like he was trying to hide something.
"Woah, halloween was a month ago, buddie," muttered Kenny.
Katrina was the first one to approch that old man.
"hello, sir," Katrina said. "We're your neibours. I'm Katrina."
The man grunted. "I'm Goldenburg," he said. "I'm not in the mood for friendships."
Katrina was dumb stucked, as she cursed under her breathe.
"Maybe he was just busy from moving," suggested Joey.
Kyle, who never talked since we moved, just grunted. He sounded like a dying cow. I laughed in my head. We walked both inside, not bothering wasting our time. We all sat at our table.
"It's only 5:15," Kenny complained, "and I already want the day to end."
we all nodded in agreeance. It was a hard day, with our parents dying, and the move. I looked at the window, as I saw a shadow figure. I screamed.
Everyone jumped. "What's wrong?" Kyle asked, the first thing he said all day.
"I...I.." I said, not knowing where to begging. "Someone was at the window!"
Everyone turned around.
"I think you're paranoid, Carr," Katrina said, raising an eyebrow.
Maybe I was paranoid. Maybe I was going crazy. Who knew.
All I know is I want my old life back.
