Author's Notes:
Hey you all! I know I said that I would update every Sunday and this is extremely late but my friends decided that I needed a social life... I don't. I have a life online.
Anyway I got my first review aaaaaaaaaaa! Thank you K5Rakitan
I will answer all reviews at the bottom of each story :P To compensate for not updating when I said I would I am updating few chapters today. I'm thinking 3 including this one :) You can find Scarlett's outfit and her hair pictures on my profile. So you have an idea of what I mean...
Now knock yourself out with my chapter...this one is mostly a filler but it helps you for future chapters.
Oh yeah and add me on My Candy Love, my name is Tarlie and if you have Sweet Crush then my name is Sookie :P
I do not own any characters or places that are in My candy love. I do however own my characters and the descriptions I use throughout my story!
I woke up still feeling tired and very unhappy with the world. I didn't care for anyone or anything at this point. School started tomorrow and I gave up on life. I decided that I didn't care for what people thought of me in this town, school, state. I was going to behave how I wanted, dress how I wanted and there was nobody that could stop me. The idea of having to live here made me hate everything even more than I already since we moved to Sweet Amoris, two days ago, I just stayed in my room and refused to speak to anyone... well my sister and my auntie Jo since they were the only ones here. Although my parents sent me texts every few hours telling me they love me and that they miss me, I never replied. Just because a few days had passed it didn't mean I hated them any less, same goes for my sister; who obviously thought everything between us was fine, judging by her constant efforts to come into my room and have a 'girly little chat'. I didn't even know why I was angry at my auntie, I mean if it wasn't for her we would have been dumped with some strangers who we've never met saved us from going through that again. She even bought us this house, no thanks to my parents for any help.
The house was truly beautiful. Upon entering the house you stood in a large hallway that led to the rest of the house. On the left there was a living room; in the middle of the dark wooden floor was a beautiful crisp white rug made of Alpaca fur pelts, in front of it was an 82-inch screen television set which had a series of speakers installed in the corners of the room. Facing the TV was a large, black, semi-circular sofa. To the left of the sofa was a walk-through into the kitchen. The counters were made out of sparkly, black granite, the kitchen shape was square and right in the center stood an island with bar stools around one side and the sink on the island was a beautiful, crystal chandelier that sparkled when you turned the light on. As soon as you walked through to the kitchen you looked through a huge window that covered half the wall. The window showed you the back garden. Although trees stood in your way of seeing the sheer beauty f it, once you stepped through the sight was magnificent. The pond stood slightly to the left and had a small fountain coming out of it, further back was a large wooden deck; on it was a grill set, wooden furniture and a mini-bar. On the right side of the garden stood a garden gazebos swing. A little further of the swing was a black hot tub that could fit about 8 people inside it. It radiated heat and made the garden look more inviting. The top two floors of the house were dedicated to me and my sister. They had the same layout; a bedroom with en suite, a walk-in closet and a study. My sister had the lower floor where as I went right for the top. I was glad to later find that I could climb out of my window onto a little terrace overlooking the house was so majestic and much more that I could have ever expected.
Aunt Jo never failed to surprise us with her little acts of kindness. Initially we thought that we would be living with her in her house but she had other ideas. She made us listen to a whole speech that she made about how we were growing up and needed space, we needed to be more independent and learn to live by ourselves and how she trusted us completely to take care of our house. She said some other things that my mind didn't really register but I payed attention to the important parts. After the speech she had another surprise, she walked us outside and in the driveway stood two brand-new, black BMW M6's. She told us that she thought it would be a nice present as she knew we had recently both got our licenses. I loved my auntie so much and not only because of the gifts but just because she was there when we needed her the most...
****TIME SKIP****
Soon enough it was time to get used to more new surroundings, going by the name of Sweet Amoris College.I was already awake that morning when the oh-so-familiar BEEP! of my alarm clock sounded through my bedroom. I launched myself on the mattress (my temporary bed) and stopped it before it got any louder. I couldn't sleep the previous night and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. I knew for a fact that it wouldn't be nerves, I mean I changed schools so much that I didn't get nervous any more. I guess it was just thinking about everything that has gone on recently that kept me awake.
Anyway it was time to get ready. I walked over to my bathroom and got into the huge shower. I loved this house, everything was about two times bigger than in my old one and I enjoyed having more room. I let the water run down my tanned body and my waist long hair. The upside to all this moving was that we usually moved to hot places so I got more and more tanned and my skin pigments got darker, now my skin was a light caramel tone and I wanted to keep it this way. After my very long shower, and brushing my teeth, I wrapped myself in a towel and made my way over to my closet. I had already unpacked and sorted my clothes into categories: dresses, casual tops, dressy tops, shorts, pants, beach wear etc. Now it was time to decide what to wear. I had given up on trying to fit in with what I wear and went for my most comfortable style, country. As it was very hot outside I put some high-waisted,denim daisy dukes, the less revealing type and a black corset top. I also had black shades and black boots on, after thinking my outfit through I decided to get a red checkered shirt and put in on as well. I wasn't that confident in my body and I changed the classical country-style to my liking but a part of me loved anything to do with country. The music, the fashion... I guess it was the Nashville girl part of me that helped me with my clothing and writing was the place I loved the most. This is where my gramma (grandmother) lived and every so often on our travels we would visit her. Every year I wished I could stay with her. I wished that my mum and dad would just forget about me and leave me with her. I still remember the last time we visited her which was 2 years ago...
****FLASHBACK****
"Hello there my darlin'!How's your day been?" My gramma asked.
"Oh it's been fine. I went out with the girls, Suzannah let us go back-stage at the Nashville is getting set-up for the show!" I was so excited I couldn't wait to see the show.
"Where's your sister?"
"She went to see Jonas, the neighbor's son. She told me she was helping him at the stables." Gramma laughed at my very much serious statement.
"Oh dear, your sister will do anything to get that boy. Just yesterday I saw her trying to ride Sparkle, she fell of within seconds but a valiant effort anyway."
"Instead of trying to get the boys she should actually look around her. This is the most beautiful place in the world and she should at least try to appreciate the chance she is getting. The music here is so amazing and so inspirational, everything is so calm and everyone here is so free. No one judges you for what you wear or what you do, you can just be yourself and everyone will love you anyway.I never want to leave here. It's all so beautiful!" I spoke.
"What's wrong, did I say something I shouldn't have.I'm sorry I didn't mean to." I asked my teary gramma.
"Darling, you know didn't say anything bad. In fact the opposite, what you just said was absolutely are so different to your sister, you have always said to me that you hate moving and you never feel like you my sweet, you belong right here. You belong in Nashville, no matter what anyone tells you, I will always know that you are a Nashville girl. A part of you will always belong to Nashville." My grammy spoke with tears spilling.
I didn't realize but I also had tears streaming down my face. I wasn't upset by what she said, in fact I was really happy. I knew she was right. Nashville would always have a part of my heart and I did belong here. All my little quirks and my 'terrible fashion choices' made sense here. No one made fun of me or tried to bully me for who I was, they just accepted me with open arms and everyone here loved the way I dressed and my music.I wasn't afraid to show my music to people, not here.
****BACK TO THE PRESENT****
Ever since then my gramma's words were always with me 'you are a Nashville girl...you belong right here'. From then on I stopped trying to be what everyone wanted me to be, I started dressing how I always wanted and started writing more. I finished getting dressed and dried my hair, I didn't have to do anything to it, it was naturally wavy and landed in place by itself.
I put some make-up on; I didn't wear much, I put some mascara on my eyelashes and some blood-red lipstick. I packed my black satchel, not forgetting to pack my song notepad. It had a brown leather cover which was getting faded at the corners and was covered with stamps. It was something to remind me of all the places that I've been to. As I walked out of my blank room(I hadn't had time to decorate it at all) and stepped down onto the first step that led downstairs, I remembered to lock the door that led to my floor, I didn't want my sister to go through my private things. I walked down the stairs confidently and saw my sister standing in the doorway.
"Hey Scar, haven't seen you out of your room for a couple of days."
"There wasn't any reason to."
"Well at least you're talking to me now. I hope you know that it wasn't entirely my choice either."
"Saph, stop it. I don't care anymore, I actually kind of like it here now. I have my privacy and they're not here to just tell me what to do. When they decide to come back and hope for me to just run after them again when they want us to come back and live with them again, I'm just going to say fu-"
"Okay, I get it you want to stay here. Anyway it's time to go to school, do you want me to drive you" She cut me off before I could finish my sentence.
"Saph, I have my own car remember"
"Yes, I know but wouldn't it be easier if we just drove together, I mean we are both going to the same place."
"I guess so...Okay, but after that I do not acknowledge your existence." I said giving my sister a slight push.
"I promise not to embarrass you, on purpose." She laughed.
"Shall we go then, don't want to be late on the first day."
"After you, my brave little sister"
"Brave?"
"I mean look at what you're wearing, I guess my innocent little sister grew up" She smiled. I guess she was right I did grow up, inside and out.
****TIME SKIP****
We pulled up at Sweet Amoris College and my sister parked her BMW. The car park was large and filled with a range of cars and other things from a bright yellow bike and a Peugeot 208(which by the way looked strangely familiar)on one side of the car park to a beautiful, black Range Rover Evoque parked next to us. The courtyard in front of the car park was also very large it was surrounded by grass areas and on the left side, next to what looked like a large hall or gym stood a massive tree with opened up was covered with green leaves.
Good place to chill and the branches are quite low as well.
There were several tables outside, where I suppose people ate lunch and chilled out during free periods. On the right side of the courtyard you could see a small black gate and many trees and plants. I assumed that this was the school itself looked quite new and modern. It had glass windows that revealed the inside of the school. The school was three stories high. All along the corridors you could see many notice boards and people walking along. As we walked up to the school the huge double doors opened up by themselves.
"Sh-ugar" I stopped myself from swearing. I had to calm my temper. I didn't want another outburst like the one I had before we came here.
Me and my sister walked inside trying to find the Student Council room to finish our enrollment forms. We found the blue door within ten seconds and walked inside...
K5Rakitan- Ahaha. Scarlett definately has a temper, but as you can see from this chapter and you will see in the furure ones she is trying to calm down a bit. :P
