Cecily moved to Ocean Bluff last week and already feels like she's had enough. Her new stepmom wont stop telling her what to do, if she had it her way it would be her and her dad,back in Miami where they'd been for sixteen years.
Cecily enjoyed hanging out with her best friends,spending the whole day at the beach and having a picnic lunch or pizza from the cafe. They would talk,swim and laugh until the end of the they went to the mall but that was usually during the winter. But her dad remarried and decided to move here to Ocean. Cecily was a nobody,which she didn't mind that much,but she had hoped to make friends when she arrived.
When she got home on Thursday,it had been like a hurricane and Cecily looked like a drowned rat and her stepmother told her they were going to a pizza place for dinner and just how bad she looked
"Cecily,I wish you wouldn't come home like a drowned should have put on a coat or called your father to pick you up. It's time you started being more responsible,take matters into your own hands. You're sixteen,act like it"
"Sorry Millie. It wasn't raining when I left. Honestly .I would've called but my phone died" she insisted,at the same time her dad came in
"Uh, why's there a drowned rat in my living room?"he laughed
" It's not that bad" she said,giggling.
"Did Millie tell you about the pizza?"
"Yes"
"Well may I give a suggestion?"
"Of course you can"
"Go change. You look terrible" he smiled. Cecily went upstairs and ran into her room.
She picked up a orange tank top and leggings before going into the bathroom to change. Just my luck, wearing jeans on a horrible afternoon. After five minutes of prying off her jeans, she threw off her wet clingy top and threw on the cheerful orange tank top and black leggings,dried her hair and checked her phone before racing down the stairs and out the door.
By the time she had changed and gotten ready,the weather had cleared up and her step mom insisted on walking to the pizza place.A reluctant Cecily dragging her feet behind her wondered why they had decided on going out for far as she knew,her step mum hated take out food and refused to go near these must have been her dad's idea,but he's not that kind of person.
"Dad,why are we going out tonight,we never go out. Did something happen,are we moving again.I swear I had nothing to do with anything" she panicked
"Don't worry Cecily.I have business to discuss with the owner"he said, walked the rest of the way in silence and when they arrived a cheerful blonde girl showed them to a table.
