Chapter 2 - The Journey

842 Words
Sitting on my bed, wondering what has become off me. Riding a bike and wearing a black lever jacket, when I used to wear pink dresses and high heels. These are things I never thought I would do. I got up and finished packing what was left of my stuff, just shoving them all in my bag like I didn't have a care in the world. I was about to have a very long, boring plane journey to a little town called Corning, in New York. I was going to my Grandma's, ( I didn't even know I had a Grandma, and what makes it worse it's my dad's mum ). I finished up upstairs and went downstairs to grab a cup of coffee to wake my tired self up. Exhausted, I went to get in my car when Chad came up behind me and scared the living daylight's out off me. " Bye Kenzie, We will all miss you so much," He said in a sad tone. I turned around and gave him a big hug and got in the car before it got any more emotional. I could see him waving me off through the back window. A tear fell down my cheek, but I just wiped it away and carried on driving until I saw the airport coming closer towards me. I walked towards my seat on the plane, where a old, wrinkly man was sitting next to my chair. I just groaned and sat down. In the corner of my eye I could see him turn his head every now and then to see what I was doing, so I got my phone trying to ignore the nosy cunt. After a few hours the plane had landed and I stepped off the plane. That's when I saw an man in there mid twenties holding a sign saying my name. I walked over to him " Are you holding that sign for me?" I asked confused. " Yes, I am your uncle Phil, I will me taking you to your grandma's house but we must hurry because she wants you to get settled in quick so you will have more time to spend with us." he replied. We walked over this little, grey Ford and he opened the door for me, so I got in and sat there in silence. A few minutes later he says " Did you have a good journey up her?" " It was alright, except for the fact an old, nosy man sitting next to me wouldn't stop looking at me." I told him. For the rest of the car journey we sat there in awkward silence. Finally, we had arrived at a beautiful white house, it wasn't big but it wasn't small either. I stepped into the house and a whiff of vanilla hit me. It smelt gorgeous. Then I heard an old, sweet voice say " Come in my dear." I walked into the living room and it was amazing, and there sitting in a rocking chair was an old lady looking back at me. " You must be McKenzie, isn't this house just beautiful?" She asked me " Just call me Kenzie and it's beautiful, i'm really looking forward to getting to know this little town." Another man comes out the kitchen in his late twenties, early thirties, " Hey there McKenzie, I am your uncle Mark, it's very nice to meet you." he said to me. I just nodded and said " It's very nice to meet you to and just call me Kenzie." Phil walked into the living room and said " Kenzie i'll show you to your room, do you want to follow me." I rolled my eyes and we walked up the stairs, and he took me into a rather big room, the walls where blue and they had closets set up already and the bed looked comfy. This was not what I was expecting, I walked over to the bed and laid on the bed. Then I remembered Phil was still standing by the door so I got up. " I'll let you get settled in, come down stairs when your ready." he told me. I started unpacking my clothes and everything else where I thought it would look nice. I looked in my closet realizing it looked a lot different to how it used to, just filled with leather jackets and black, ripped jeans. Once I had finished I went downstairs and Phil and Mark just waved at me, so i just gave them a small smile. " Tomorrow I will show you round, and also I hope you don't mind but we presumed you would want to start going back to college, so we spoke to the college adviser and we got you a spot in there school. You will be starting on Monday." Phil explained to me. " Yes that's fine, that gives me two days to get to know my way around." I told him. I carried on looking on my phone.
