Chap 2
The next day, we all wore black to school. Alex wore her black dress pants, along with a black long sleeved shirt, Bridget wore black sweat pants and a black tee shirt, Patricia wore a black mini dress with a ton of accessories, Gabby was wearing her black leather jacket, along with a matching pair of leather pants, and I was wearing my black ripped skinny jeans, with a black band tee shirt with some green sprinkled on it.
The word of our leaving spread through the giant school like wild fire, and I couldn't even walk down the hall without being assaulted by a ton of hugs. That's what I get for being friendly to so many people.
"Gabby!" A male voice called from behind me, grabbing my arm and turning me to face him. It was Justin. He must of thought I was my sister.
"Hey Justin." I played along. I wondered what this was all about?
"Hey, listen, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go out Saturday?" He asked, a blush creeping on his cheeks. The poor kid didn't know we were moving.
"Oh. Uh, I'm not Gabby Justin. It's Naomi." I said, thinking that Gabby should be the one to tell him about us moving. He blushed even more deeply.
"Oh…sorry. Do you know where she is?" He asked, just as Gabby walked up beside us. She smiled at me and I returned it with a sad one of my own before continuing down the hall.
"Hey babe!" I heard one of my best friends, Corinne calling from behind me, I turned to face her but was engulfed in a giant bear hug by her and my two other friends, Bill, and Megan.
"We heard!" Megan said, looking on the brink of tears.
"Don't worry guys, I'll email you every day! And we can talk constantly on the phone! In fact, I want you to call me everyday with an update! I want to know when you finally ask that Jane girl out Bill!" I said hugging them back. I know I should say that I wasn't really good with goodbyes, but the truth was I kind of liked them. I mean, you get this sad feeling in your stomach and your gut clenches, its like a rollercoaster ride.
The day went quickly after that, and soon we were driving home where our parents, and the moving truck, awaited us.
"There you kids are! Where were you all day?" My mother asked, tapping her foot impatiently against the concrete as she leaned against the passenger door of the black company car.
"Um, school?" Bridget snapped, our mom was dense sometimes.
"Oh. Right. Well, come on! Time to go! Everyone in, chop, chop!" She said, slightly aggrevated. I could tell she's been waiting a while.
"Where's dad?" Alex asked as she we all loaded into the car and the driver started the engine.
"He left this morning to get everything set up." Mom explained before turning to the driver and starting up a conversation with him.
I sighed, looking over at Gabby and rolling my eyes as we both put our ear phones in and turned to look out opposite windows at the same time. We were such twins.
We'd been driving forever and I wondered why my dad didn't just Buy us a plane ticket. Patricia said it was because he wanted us to 'bond,' she was probably right.
"HOLY SHIT DID YOU SEE THAT!" I whisper yelled to Gabby who quickly took her earphones out, so did I. There was a giant brown wolf running in the forest beside our car. It was looking in my eyes, refusing to brake our eye contact, and seemed to have no problem keeping up with the cars fast speed.
"MOTHER OF PEARL! THAT'S CRAZY! LOOK! IT HAS FRIENDS!" Gabby said, pointing at the four other wolves that now followed along with us.
By this time, all five of us were looking out the window, locking eyes with a different wolf each and not bothering to break the gaze.
"We're almost there!" My mother called from the front seat, just as the driver made a sharp turn onto a dirt road, cutting off our view of the wolves.
Everyone seemed depressed about not being able to see the wolves anymore, which is why we remained silent until we pulled up in front of two small, red brick houses that were connected by a new looking hall way. My father must have built the small walk way to get from one house to the other. It made me wonder just how long he had known we would be moving here.
I got the smallest room. Not that I was complaining. I mean, all the rooms were pretty big, and I liked the privacy of my room. Since it was the smallest, it was the only bedroom on this side on the house, the rest were on the other side. Meaning if you wanted to get from my room to my sisters or parents, you would have to walk down stairs, and go across the hall way that connected the two houses.
It was perfect.
The walls were a bright yellow, which was my favorite color, and the set up was the same as my old room. Same old wooden bookshelf in the corner, same matching dresser, same white rugs, even the same old bed in the center. It was like I was still at home. Only I wanted to be there.
"Can you believe this place?" Gabby asked as she walked into my room, Bridget and Patricia coming in behind her, Alex was in the kitchen cooking dinner.
"It's so…" Patricia stopped, looking for the right word.
"Green?" I supplied, looking out my window towards the never ending forest.
"Woodsy?" Bridget put in.
"Horrible?" I asked again. Patricia just laughed,
"All of the above." She said with a smile before telling us she was going to go help Alex in the kitchen, which really meant she was going to go make sure Alex didn't get any food on the outfit she picked out for her.
"I miss New York." Bridget groaned throwing herself down on my bed.
"Me too." I sighed, plopping down on top of her with a 'humph.'
"Me three." Gabby chorused, jumping on top of us and making up crack up laughing for no apparent reason. By the time we were down, we were being called down for dinner.
What did you think? It's getting ten times better in the next chapter XD
