Chapter 1: The Beginning
-WHY?, I don't want to go, we just arrived here and the only thing I want to do it's take a shower and sleep till tomorrow okay?, stop bothering me.- my older sister said when Alex and I asked her if she wanted to come with us to do the shopping.
Alex and I looked at each other and then we laughed, I followed my brother as we entered to Alex's bedroom.
-So, do you like miss Caroline?- he asked me when we lied on his bed.
-Of course, she's really nice, you know.- I say, playing with my hair, I start to think about our parents, they told us that we needed to go far away because of the stupid war here in England, so we are here in this HUGE house with Mrs. Caroline, she's very sweet but I already miss them and we have just arrived here, and we didn't even know how long we have to stay in this place.
-You miss them, huh?- Alex said while he was playing with his red ball.
-Yes, how long do you think we are going to stay here?- I asked him laying down next to him.
-Actually, I don't know but maybe we can have some fun here, where no one knows us, before we leave, don't you think?.- He said smiling at me, he was a very handsome guy he was eighteen, had curly and almost blond hair, with green hypnotizing eyes, he was tall and he practiced soccer so he had a great body, and above of it he had a really nice smile, he always could cheer me up, we have a better connection between us than with Maia, she was a little more… stressful about the things that happened to us, so she was really angry with our parents and lately not very funny, she was like my brother; beautiful, she had brown hair not long but just down the shoulders and she had green eyes like my mom, she was a really nice girl when she wasn't angry but she was nineteen years old, almost twenty now.
On the other hand, I was the normal one in the family with long brown hair all down my back, something straight, almost all the time, and sometimes it was a little curly, with big chocolate eyes and pink lips and in this case the little one cause I'm only fourteen but soon I will be fifteen.
-Let's go to downtown, Mrs. Caroline says It's a lot of fun, and she's going like in…- he said watching his clock in his hand.- fifteen minutes, so let's get ready and convince Maia to go with us.
- YEI!- I said with a big smile on my face.-And maybe I meet a handsome guy to hang out.
My brother stood of his bed and looked serious at me.
-No way in hell, did you hear me, Mel?, No guys haunting!.- He said getting close to me.
-Why not?, I'm old enough to have a boyfriend.- I said, kind of happy because I loved how Alex got jealous when every time a guy approach Maia or me.
-Because I says so, so, forget about guys you are way too young.- he said pushing me to the door.- now get pretty, sorry, you can't do that but at least try okay?.- He said putting a serious face at me like thinking.- No forget about the pretty thing, I think you're too ugly to even try.- he said and the he smiled when he saw my face turning angry.- You know I'm kidding, because you are the most beautiful girl in the world.-he said giving me a kiss on the cheek
-What about Kate?- I said slowly turning raising my brows.
He blushed slightly and then looked at me.
-No, even you are more beautiful than her, and with her, it's over.- he said looking at me, then I was surprised.
-What? Why?- I said ignoring the part about me and the word beautiful in the same phrase.
-I don't like her anymore, and she didn't like me anymore either, so that's it.- he were standing in the door, he looked back at his bedroom and then back at me.- so please get change and talk to Maia about going to town.- he said smiling and closed the door.
I entered to my bedroom that was on the opposite side of the hall of my big brothers, they let me have it because my room had a window where you can see the garden in the back of the house and behind that there was like a forest, and when I say forest, I mean it, it was huge, you can get lost there! You can be camping there and no one will ever notice, maybe I will invite Maia and Alex to play other time.
I went to my suitcase because I haven't unpacked and I throw it to the bed, it was not the only suitcase I brought but in there were the summer-clothes, it was very hot and it was early so the sun was more warm
I opened the suitcase and pull out a simply white dress, and my brown boots, I went to my new bathroom which was a lot bigger that the one I used to have in my house, which I had to share with Maia, result: A total mess, I quickly pull off my jeans and my red top with my converse, and then put my dress and boots, I looked at me in the mirror and I try to comb my hair so it could look pretty, finally I put on a white flower on the right side so the hair didn't fall in my eyes.
I went out of my room and went to Maia's I opened the door and I heard her screaming, I instantly opened the door and I saw her staring at me with a towel in her body.
-Ah, it's only you.- she said turning to her bed.
-What?, only me?, I am more than enough.- I said silly while I got closer to her.
-You think so?- she said looking at me raising an eyebrow.
-No, I don't think so, I know.- I said smiling at her, she smiled back at me and then went to pick up some clothes.-Can you wear something more…pretty?.- I said because I saw her picking up her pajamas.
-Why?- she said glaring at me a curious look and then at my clothes.
-Because we are going to town, duh.-I said and stared at her, then I cocked an eyebrow at her.-Let's go haunt something good.- I said smiling again at her and laughed a little more creepy that I would want to.
Her face changed immediately and nodded very happy then she dropped her pajamas on her bed and giggled.
-I don't understand why you dressed up like that.- I heard Alex say.
-Stop it! we look pretty, don't we?- said Melannie while she was dancing in front of us.
-No, you don't look pretty.- he said joking.
We were following Mrs. Caroline to town, it was a long travel but I thought I could be worse, after a while she said to us that she will be meeting some people, and that if we continued in the same direction we will get to town like in 10 minutes more, there was no way to get lost there, because the path was really straight and with signs everywhere, she said to us that we could go everywhere but being careful around the town, later we will be meeting her in the only coffee shop at 6 o'clock, and then she left us waving her hand, we talked a little happier than before, maybe because the three of us love the forest and the whole house was surrounding by this one.
We were laughing because Alex couldn't spell Kaleidoscope correct, he jumped letters and he was trying very hard to concentrate while we laughed. Mel was almost in the floor because she can't walk while laughing, and Alex soon started smiling too, we were closed to the city but not there yet, when we kind of stopped laughing and calmed down again, Mel fell on her butt because she wanted to kick a rock in the floor but, the silly didn't hit it and fell to the ground, I started laughing like a psycho and I can hear Alex laughing too.
-Are you…okay?.- he said trying not to laugh but failing horrible, but then Mel put her head down to her knees and started shaking, so I immediately stopped laughing, she hurt herself, I thought and Alex and me started running to her side.
-Hey, Mel, are you okay?.- I said sitting in front of her, she was still shaking and then when I tried to held her face up to see her, she put a hand in her face. She looked up and started laughing so hard, I saw her putting a hand on her stomach, so I supposed she wasn't hurt, she was shaking because she was laughing, the three of us started again like we were nuts.
Maybe we were.
-Oh my gosh, I pity myself you know.- she said as Alex and I help her to stand up, we smiled at her, she was like a sunshine, she could get a smile of anyone and she just doesn't even know.-And I think you should be glad that you have me like a sister because I totally made your day.
I looked at Alex who smiled at me and we said at the same time.- Agree.
-You know, I'm glad that you didn't fell LIKE THAT in town, I wouldn't hang out with you anymore, and no one will ever talk to us, and EVEN the boys will run away from you.-I said simulating to be sad and annoyed, but then I saw Alex face and I knew he thought something like "maybe it could be better if every guy run away from you."
-You wish.- Mel said cleaning her dress of the dust till it got white again, we started walking but then we heard noises and voices, we looked around just to see the town. It had really nice houses, all of them big, the horses were going and coming with their masters or with little kids, we saw ladies in beautiful dresses and man with weird hats.
-We arrived dear brothers, welcome to my kingdom.- Mel said raising her hands like showing to us "her kingdom".
-That's what you wish my Dear sister, you are kind of the slave here.- Alex said and I giggled.
-Let's see the town, you know, maybe we could…explore.- I said like whispering but no one will hear us anyway with so much noise.
I was really glad the Maia had changed her attitude, so we made our way to the street and there we saw a fruits stand, with apples, oranges, bananas and everything I liked to eat, Alex bought us each one an apple, when he handle me mine, he smiled and take a bit of my apple!
-HEY! Can you explain to me what the hell are you doing with my apple?- I said almost screaming and pointing at my apple.
-I just take a bit.- he said, but then he smiled devilish.
-I don't want it anymore, jerk!.- I said kind of joking, because I love apples and he knew that.-I don't want all your germens in me.- I said making a face.
-Are you kidding me?.- He said smiling at me and taping my head.-YOU don't want an apple, are you sure?
-Do I look like I'm kidding.- I said ready for the tactic, I look at him serious but after like 2 seconds and a half I started laughing again.
-Yeah, kind of.- I heard Maia saying, and then Alex passed me his apple that he hadn't ate.
-You can never get that tactic right, do you?.- Said Alex.
-Someday, soon, I will.
-Yeah, yeah.- I heard them both.
-I'm serious.- I said, I was in front of them, trying to look mad …they didn't cared and passed me by my sides. Ignoring me and kept walking, hearing the "yeah, yeah" and then they stopped a few meters away and continued talking about something.
I smack my foot to the floor, not mad just resigned that my own brothers didn't believe me, I laugh in my mind because if someone saw me I would look like a crazy and spoiled child.
-Fighting with the floor, what the poor thing did to you?- I heard a voice calling, I lifted my face and saw this guy with black hair and brown eyes, he was handsome I'll give him that, he was like my age. I guess maybe one or two more years and he was staring at me like if was something funny to look at.
-Are you laughing at me?-I said putting my hands on my hips, he had a bag of apples in his hands and he was like a three meters away from me.
-No way!, how could you think that?- He said like smiling to himself as he rolled his eyes, he had a great smile but he was making fun of me.
-Oh please, I'm the queen of sarcasm, you can't use it against me, freshman.-I said like trying to be serious but I flashed a smile at him.
-Freshman?-He laughed and then stared at me.- I invented the sarcasm!
I laughed kind against my will because obviously he was waiting for me to reply that.
-That can't be possible, I was born with the sarcasm in my veins and I teach it to the world everyday and I'm sure I was born first, how old are you like twelve or something?.- I said looking at him, he smiled and he looked hot doing that and he knew that, that was a good reply.
-You say I'm twelve and that you're older than me? Are you serious? I think you don't know that the number twelve, which I'm clearly not, is bigger than ten.- he said looking to me and taking a step in my direction, he was saying I was ten?
-HA!, that's really funny, but wait, why aren't you playing with your little cars, you know?- I said simulating to search around him in the floor.
-ha-ha, I'm dying, please stop, please I'm begging you.- he said simulating to laugh, he wear those large shorts and a white t-shirt and tennis, but he gave me a dirty look. I was unsure of what to do next.
-Hey Ed!- I heard a girl voice sound and a little girl stepped on my sight; she was running to this… guy.-Are you done with the apples?
-Lu, yes I'm done, I'm coming right back.- he said looking to her, and I supposed it was his sister, and then she turned to me.
-Ed, who's her? It's pretty.-She waved in my direction.
-You think so?- he said looking at me simulating not to agree with her sister.- well I don't know, what I know is that she's crazy.- he continued out loud and then whispered to her but still I could heard it.- She was fighting with the floor!, run!
-Hey! That's not true! I was just smacking my foot to the ground. How on earth did you got confused about smacking and fighting with the floor?- I said looking at him and pointing in his direction.
And then I looked at the girl, she was pretty; she had short hair and green eyes, pink cheeks and a really curious face.
-Hey, what's your name?- I asked her while I got down touched her hair smiling.
-Don't tell her Lucy! - This guy "Ed" said, and after that he closed pressing his eyes and then I smile more widely.
-Lucy! You have a beautiful name, has someone ever told you that? - I said staring at her green eyes.
-Thanks, what's your name?-she asked smiling and then I raised my head to Edmund, he was staring at me like he would like to know.
-Come here.- I told here and I made a sign for she to come over, she put her ear and I said.- Melannie
She stepped back and looked at me again with a smile in her face.
-Your name it's beautiful too, you know? - she said and then she gave me a kiss on the check and waved at me.-C'mon Edmund!
-I hope we meet soon - she said grasping Edmund's hand and pushing it into the opposite street.
The last thing I saw before they turned on the corner was Edmund staring at me and slightly smiling and I did the same.
-Wow!, are you serious? – I heard Maia behind me.
I blushed a little bit and calmed myself down before turning around to see a kind of angry Alex and an excited Maia.
-What?- I said while I was walking in front of them.
-Hey!, wait! Who was that? – Alex's voice sounded too closed of me.
-Nothing, just some weird guy- I said looking at him.
-weird guy! That's the reason I'm asking you Mel!
-Nothing, it was a stupid talk, let's walk around a little bit more and then we have to meet Mrs. Caroline, Okay? – I said looking back to my brothers, Maia was even happier than before and Alex was frowning. He chuckled.
-Alright, I want some ice cream, you would pay for it.- My eighteen year old brother told me-Lemon.
-Why I have to pay?- I said sounded annoyed and confused.
-Because you were with the weird guy! – He complete, looking satisfied with his, out of mind, idea.
-No way in hell, you hear me? –I said but my siblings were like meters ahead.
