Be prepared to read a lot of words :3

When I awoke I felt at ease. With a nice mattress under me and cozy sheets covering me. I was in the middle of the two to make me want to keep sleeping. I dreamt about me running all the way to Galio in one night then passing out in front of a mansion and them bringing me into their home.

I yawned then muttered to myself, "Crazy dream I guess..."

A few seconds passed before I realized that it wasn't a dream.

I sprung up and looked around. It was a large room with old fashioned looking furniture. I think it might be called exotic furniture but I wasn't sure. I was wearing different clothes too. A light blue neon dress with a bunny on it. I stepped out of bed then a pain struck my legs as I tried to take the first step. I squeezed my eyes shut. I was so sore. Every muscle in my entire body ached but nothing was worse than my feet. I fell to the floor taking a deep breath. It smelled of fresh linens and coffee with a hint of vanilla. I smiled as I thought, "Ha... that's my name."

I tried to drag myself off the dark wood planks but I was unsuccessful. I herd someone knock then enter my room as a female voice said," Rise and shine!"

Noticing I was not in bed she looked and found me lying on the cold floor.

"Oh my goodness! Are you ok?" She said pealing me off the planks. She settled me back into bed.

"Wow you are just a master at falling aren't you?" She said with a little giggle, "Last night and now today!"

She seamed really peppy and looked as young as I did. She had fluffy strawberry blonde hair. She had it in three ponytails which was a bit different, but it worked with her sparkly dark eyes. I'm guessing she was taller than me since mostly everyone was. She wore a nice looking pink plaid shirt with cozy brown lace up Eskimo boots. The laces ended with long strings hanging down with puffballs on the end of each one.

"Um, are you okay? I mean not that you don't look okay its just that all this falling. I haven't seen you around here so I thought you would want to stay here. I mean it was your choice of hotels but you were on our doorstep so you couldn't really choose. Thank god Eddie made me watch that scary movie late at night or I wouldn't notice you out there and you would be there all night alone and cold. I mean I don't know if you were alone but you were last night. Oh boy, I'm thinking of that scary movie again. It makes me shiver. Have you seen scary movie 1? There are 4 total movies, but have you seen the first one? Oh where are my manners, I'm Sophie, and you are?"

My mind was blank for a minute. She spoke so fast and had so many different questions.

"Oh my name is Vanilla. Thanks for taking me into your hotel. What town am I in?"

"Your in Galio silly. How could you run here and not even notice where you were?"

I sighed of relief. I had made it.

"Well I had been running all day and there were so many town gates and I couldn't keep track of which was which."

"Oh that makes sense. I ran a long time too once. I think it was the Galio marathon. It was hard to beat Jitters and Goose. Those meat heads, they were all the way at the front."

"Jitters and Goose...? Are those like your neighbors or something?"

"Oh yeah Jitters the bird and Goose the Chicken."

I stared at her in disbelief, "Th-there are real talking animals here?"

"Yeah, you didn't know? Well I guess you don't know a lot about this town considering you didn't know you were in it."

"Actually me and my friend bought a small house in Galio. I just got here before him."

"Him? There can't be a girl living with a guy unless..." She looked at me and smiled, "Whats the guys name? Are you going out? Aren't you to young to move here let alone with your boyfriend?"

She had excitement growing in her voice. She seamed nice but I had to set it straight.

"He isn't my boyfriend. His name is Craig and he is my best friend. We grew up together since he lived across the street. He kissed me for the first time yesterday but-"

Oh god. Why did I tell her that?

"But what? A kiss is a kiss and he has to take you out to dinner."

"I know but we have to focus on how to start out here. Get supplies, money, food. You know all that sort of thing. How old are you any way?"

"I'm 16 but I live here with my brothers Edward and Colin. We met but they were from here and showed me around. It wasnt before we started living in the same house and made it a bed and breakfast. I moved out here when we couldn't take our parents any more..."

I didn't know what to say but I know what she meant.

"I know what you mean. Me and Craig's parents were the same way."

Sophie looked up at me and smiled, "I know we will be great friends."

I nodded and then herd another knock at the door.

"Hey sister dearest. You have to take your shift soon. Stop talking to the customers and-"

He looked at me and I looked back. The world stopped as I felt tingling in my stomach when I met his cloudy hazel eyed gaze.

He had me mesmerised...

More than Craig ever did.
