.Kathrine.
That's the last of my boxes..now all I have to do is unpack them, I just didn't think it would be this many
Anyway..
I'm Kathrine Swartz..Seventeen years old with the most boring life
We just moved to a small town in West Virginia..it was Mom's idea to come here and start a new life ever since Dad died a year ago
After he died,life has been so hard for us..Now Mom works all night and day..So coming here is just her way of wanting to start over
But this town is so small that someone could easily murder me and hide my body in the forest that surrounds us
Thinking about Dad always makes me tear up..he was my best friend and his death was so sudden
"I miss you Dad" I fall on my bed and feel tears coming
"No I cant cry..Dad wouldn't want me crying,he would want me to be strong for Mom" I wipe my tears
All I have to do is unpack..than I will be done
I stood up and suddenly smelled eggs..someone is frying eggs
Is it possible that Mom is back home already..well there is only one way to find out
"Mom..your home" I exclaimed walking into the Kitchen only to see Mom standing there making eggs
"Kat..your awake,its so early" I walked over and hugged her
"You've been working to hard..I would have made breakfast"
"No,I'm already done" she said and handed me a plate with the eggs..I stare at it for some few minutes and I heard her sigh
"Its ok,I will eat them myself" she tried taking the plate but I resisted..she came back home exhausted the least I can do is eat this
Or else she will think there is something wrong
"No it's ok...I will eat anything you give me" I took a bite and I didn't get to swallow it because of how spicy it was
"Kathrina,what wrong" I spit out the food
"Spicy..so Spicy" I reached for a glass of water and gulped it down..she laughed
"I'm so sorry..I must have added to much pepper" she laughed and I could help but laugh along with her
"I should go unpack" I stood up and noticed she was a paper
"What's that"
"Its the grocery list,I was just making sure u put everything we need" she smile but I narrowed my eyes
"Your going out again" she nodded and I sighed
"Mom you can't..you just came back and you must be exhausted"
"I will be fine I wi--" I took the paper from her and the list is long
"I will do it,you should rest" she hugged me and handed me the money
"$300,I'm going grocery shopping not house shopping"
"Just take it.." great now I'm forced to take all of it
I wont use it all,its to much
"Ok,fine"
"Oh I forgot to mention,there is no wifi" I sigh deeply.. how I'm I going to get there now
"But you could ask the neighbors,I have spotted that boy next door and his a nice catch"
"Mom I'm here to start a new life..not chase after a boy" I said and pat my head
"If you say so Dear" she left..
Great,I will start by unpacking than I'll do the grocery

After a long time I was done,and I'm proud that I was able to finish it with the amount if time I had
Now it's time to go greet the neighbors..I changed my outfit to a pink skirt and a white long-sleeve shirt
I walked out and went over to their house,I stood in front of the door now I just have to knock..first impression is everything
..On second thought I don't really have to do this..I turn around and make to walk away only for the door to open
A guy was standing there..shirt less
Jeez..his hot,and his eyes are so beautiful
emerald green
"Can I help you" I look up to face him
"Um..I.. I.. um"..God what's wrong with me..why cant I talk all of a sudden
"Hello.." he changed from calm to annoyed,I'm guessing I'm making a bad first impression
But it's not my fault..I can't talk bring myself to say a word
"Ok if your just going to stand there and not say a word,I'm going to shut the door" he warned but I still couldn't move
In a split second he shut the door I'm my face and I could hear footsteps walking away..I cant believe this
"Seriously, how can someone be so antisocial" I frowned
I mean,he literally just shut the door in my face..but I shouldn't have stared at him like that
I walked down the stairs sadly..well I did that nothing

I stared at my bowl of cereal that had no milk,mostly because I didn't do the groceries yet..I placed some of it in my mouth
It doesn't taste the same with out milk..it tastes dry and awful
I heard a noise coming from outside and when I looked out the window..I saw that same guy taking out the trash
Before I could stop myself I was already outside calling for him
"Oh..if it isn't the stranger who came and stared at me like a lost idiot" he claimed and I felt angry but I didnt show it
"I'm sorry I did that..I shouldn't have"
"Atleast you have the decency to apologize" I felt like his eyes were digging holes into my body..its uncomfortable
"I'm Kathrine"..
"What do you want kid"..is he always this grumpy and kid he just call me kid
"I'm not a kid"
"Really..you look like one of my sisters dolls"..what the hell is wrong with this guy
"I'm 17..I'm not some baby" his eyes scanned me from head to toe
"What kind of 17 year old would dress like this" he pointed and I felt so damn..angry
I came here with no trouble but he approaches like his trying to get rid of me..or trying to make me leave
"Just tell me what you want"
"I actually came here earlier to ask for directions to the grocery store and a place that sells plants"
"Plants" he looked at me a bit confused..what else could he think I could use plants for
"Yah..well there is a garden in front of my porch so--"
"You need the plants..to plant" he cut me off and I nodded
"So the directions to the grocery store an--"
"A place that sell plants..I got that" he cut me off again
I swear if he cuts me off again I'm gonna--
"So the directions" I asked and he walked away like I was never there
This is some guy huh..he is so antisocial that is deadly
His so hot but his such a jerk..I guess I came here for nothing
I turned around,ready to walk away in defeat when I heard him call..he handed me a piece of paper
"What's this"
"Directions..I figured someone like you would forget them so I went and wrote it down"..what does he mean someone like me
"Thanks,I guess" I turn and walked away with the paper in my hand
"Don't get lost Kitten" he screamed
"Whatever weirdo" I whispered as I got home
"I heard that Kid"..how could he have possibly heard me
His obviously joking,I was to far away for him to even hear me yell
His so weird..but mysterious at the same time
*

I made it to the grocery store in a few minutes..and the directions he gave me were right
I didnt really trust him with the way he acted though
Mm..now I have to get some eggs, I will take large
"Watch out" someone yelled and the next thing I know my eggs went splat on the ground
"Well,there goes Humpty Dumpty" I said sarcastically
"I'm so sorry..I was just to excited" she handed me some eggs that weren't broken,luckily
"I'm Debby the way but everyone calls me Dee"
"I'm Kathrine but people usually call me Kat" I looked up and I was stunned
She look exactly like Mr Grumpy but more girly..even her eyes were like his
"I'm Deamon's sister you talked to him a while ago asking for directions" she laughed
So Mr Grumpy has a name..Deamon,very interesting
But how come Debby is nicer but his so grumpy and mean
Well..I guess I made a new friend
.TBC.
The beginning of a new friendship..
Comes at a cost..
Who's ready for this__
