Chapter 1 New Home

I'm Kylie Wood, living a life, if this is what you call it, here in Chesterfield. Everything here is just so-so. Or I just don't care anymore. But, why and when did I start not to care? I'll let you know.

August 15, 2009 - We moved. Again. We often move because of my parents, and this is the same reason why I don't have friends. I get close to someone one day, we move out the next. Well, I'm used to it. Goodbyes are such pain in the ass that I don't want to encounter every single time we move. And then we're all set! New house, new neighbors, new school, new everything, but me. 

**Knock**"Mom! Someone's knocking at the door." This is where it all started. My mom met his mom, then we met too."Hi, neighbor! I'm Margaret Reed, the president of the association. You can call me Margie""Oh. Hi, I'm Alicia Wood. Pleased to meet you.""I live next door. Let us know if you need help""That sounds great, thank you, Margie."

It didn't end here. Four hours later, here I am, lying myself on my bed, still trying to absorb the feeling of this new house. A typical two-story townhouse, with four rooms and three toilets and bathrooms. My room is adjacent to my brother's on the second floor.

"Honey, are you okay? I'm sorry that we have to move again. Don't worry, this will be the last.""Mom. I'm fine, really."

My mom loves to hug me whenever she thinks I'm down or something.

"Alright, who's hungry? Dinner is ready!"

Here's my dad, Christopher Wood. He doesn't talk a lot. I don't really know what their work is because it is very private. And here's my very cute annoying little brother Drake. Yeah, he's not little, but I'm older.

"Oh dear, can you bring some food over to Margie? She sounded so nice and welcomed us here earlier. They're right next door""Mom, good for you. You have a new friend. So, why don't you bring it there yourself? Hehe. Just kidding. Alright, wrap it up"

My mom loves to cook. Maybe that's what wives do. We rarely go for take outs or delivery. Hopefully, I get this skill but I am not meant for it. So, here we go. Kylie and Ethan.

**Ding dong**

"Hi Mrs. Reed. I'm from next door. My mom...""Oh hi, gorgeous. My mom is out." 

Then he closed the door. Without looking at me or asking why I'm here. This guy immediately got to my nerves. Is he trying to play games with me? 

**Ding dong** 

He opened the door again."My mom wants to...""My mom is out." He closed it again. One last try.

**Ding dong**"I said, my mom is out. If you need anything...""Here's the food my mom wants to give you. Hope it tastes good" I can't believe what I just did. I just slapped the food on his face. Then, I ran back home. Kylie Wood, you're so dead.

"Honey, what happened? Why are you panting?""Nothing mom. Let's eat."

Days passed and school is about to start. My new school, Chesterfield University. I'm glad that even if we always move, I never skipped a year. I'm now in senior year, the last battle of high school.
