Chapter 2
I still couldn't believe it. I am going to a new school, new neighborhood, new everything. My mom didn't even have the nerve to tell me the biggest move of my life! My own house!
I was really sad. Usually when I'm sad I would read in the windowsill. My windowsill is perfect and unique. It has a large opening like a chair that is curved rounded. I sat in it and opened the window.
I'm so lucky Damien is always there his house was shaped the same way as mine. He has that opening in the windowsill also.
"Hey are you ok?" he said turning his ipod off.
"Yeah I'm fine. You?" I said wiping a tear off.
"Why are you moving?"
"I don't know Damien."
"Will you be ok?"
"Yea I think so. I just hope there will be more Damien's out there."
"I'm sure there are." He said smiling.
We had talked for hours and hours. Mostly about what we'd do without each other.
"It's ok Sierra. You'll be fine without me." He said pretending to cry.
"Oh tear tear listen, my mom's calling me I'll be right back." I said sarcastically.
The cool thing is that we built a connection to my windowsill to his and we use it all the time. It's like a steel walkway to his house to mine.
I came down to listen to mom but I couldn't help but realize that THE WHOLE DOWNSTAIRS IS EMPTY! "MOM! Your-you're shrinking me! I can't even believe you hadn't even told me about anything!"
"Honey you have to understand my job doesn't give much pay at all and I couldn't pay the rent! I'm the only one in this family who has a job besides your father and he isn't here ok? I'm very sorry but we bought a house that I could afford.
That next day I had looked for job openings for hours. I suddenly had appointments for various interviews and applications to fill up. Jessie and I were supposed to go to a movie but I tried to call her but I blew her off I guess. I had found out later that the only place that would hire me was a clothing store in the closest mall. It will be hard because it's one of my favoritest stores EVER!
I suppose you already know what I'm talking about then. HELL YES! I had gotten a job at H & M which had just opened in my town. I was walking with my brown detective coat on and my favorite pair of lucky brand jeans on. My bag was heavy filled with dozens of my working papers and to top it all of it was FREEZING and my nose had been running for the past hour!
I had realized Damien had gone right passed me and I ran up to catch him. "Hey sorry about yesterday. I just got a job at H & M though and I got you a little present!" I said trying to cheer him up. I felt suddenly and oddly blushy and red when my hands were covering his eyes when I surprised him.
"Thanks, but this guitar pick is only for a fender." He said. I could almost feel drills running through me ears! Damn those picks were soooooo expensive!
"Oh well, sorry" I said kind of annoyed realizing my paycheck was already down the drain.
It was a moment of awkwardness and quiet.
"Do you want to go to the movies tonight?" he said blushing. Awww! His face got so cute when he blushed! "Like as a going away thing?" he said.
"Yes I'd love to." I said. And with that he held my hand knowing that what I agreed to probably wasn't just a friendly movie.
