-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to thankBabylonqueen,for giving me this challenge. Also I want to thank the girls who read over it for me. This is my first HS fic, and its been umm years since I was in HS, so if things get a tad out there, please bring me down to earth. All mistakes are my own. First chapter is all Justin, Brian is second Chapter, and in 3rd chapter......they meet and so on. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justin Looking out the car window, I can’t but feel like my life is going to change once we get to Pittsburgh. My father got transferred and is moving us all to another state. My mother and sister are gabbing about the things they will do once we get there. They’re excited about this whole new change, me, I’m not looking to forward to it. All I know is I’m leaving the few friends I have and going somewhere I know no one. I’m not a very out going person. I’m very shy. Not that I let people push me around either, but I’m not one to start things either. “Justin, you’ll make new friends. I know you will, just get yourself out there and meet them.” My mother, Jennifer Taylor smiles at me. I simply just nod my head. “She’s right Justin, you’re only seventeen. You’ll meet new people at your new school.” My father, Craig tells me. “and I’m sure you will have tons of those girls wanting some of you.” Laughing, “I mean you’re hot from what your sisters friends say.” Shrugging, I look back out the window. Remembering my life I’m leaving behind. I had some friends, which have told me would visit me when they could. I’m a rather shy person, until I get to know someone. Some say I’m smart and intelligent. They say I have an act for knowing what’s going on in an instinct. Which I sometimes panic on, but am very cool about it. My parents say I need more self confidence, but I call it, ‘being safe’. My best friend, Daphne, tells me all the time how I shouldn’t be so worried about things, but I’m not a very out going kind of person, like I said before, I’m shy. Daphne said it’s called ‘shyness with the hint of spice’, we laugh every time she tells me. I’m going to miss her the most. She did say she’s going to try to go to a college closer to me. She’s going to be a doctor. Smartass. We’re moving to Pittsburgh, where my father was transferred, and even though I’ll miss home, which is in New York, in the house I have lived for 17 years. It was home. Looking back at my sister who has her headphones on and doing hand movements, okay so that made me smile. She’s a pest, but I love her. She’s always encouraged me to do what my dreams are, and even though I’m not sure what that is, it has something to do with art. I love to draw, paint. My sister is my biggest fan. She smiles at me, and reaches over and taps my hand. “You’ll always have me Jussie.” Smiling back, nodding, “and you’ll always have me Mollusk.” She goes back to her music. She wants to be a famous singer one day. And I might tease her, but she’s actually pretty good, and I tell her that. After doing my brotherly tease. Pulling up to the house we’ll moving into, which all of our stuff is already there, which is a good thing, since I really didn’t want to be here without my stuff. “Here we are, our new home.” My mom happily and excitingly lets out. “Justin, you have the bigger room.” My dad grins as I look at him, smiling. “Thanks dad.” Looking at Molly who I said could have it. “You are older and you have way more then me, I swear, with all the junk you have, they would think mom and dad had two girls.” Laughing as I throw one of the small couch pillows at her. “Shut up, I do not.” My parents are laughing and at the same moment they say, “Yes you do.” I can’t help but laugh with them, “Ok so I have a few more things, but they’re for my art stuff.” My family has always been very close. We talk about everything, and they’re the only ones, besides Daphne that I can talk to, really talk to. Once in my room, I unpack the boxes, putting my stuff over into one area. There’s a tap on my door, “Justin could you come out here a minute, please?” Walking out into the hallway I see my family standing there with smiles, which they are trying to hide. “What’s going on?” Putting his arm around me he walks me over to a door, “We thought you would like to see this.” Opening the door he ushers me in. Looking around in shock I look at him, “For me?” He nods his response. “You’re mother and I thought it would be nice for you to have a bright room as your studio.” I can’t help the big ass grin on my face. Hugging them both, and Molly too, I look around my ‘studio’ and see everything from back home, as well as a few more things. “This is amazing, thank you, thank you.” “Now you can work your magic in here.” Mom smirks, knowing that this has made me happier about the move. Later on, back in my room, I start to think about school, and what will they think of me. I wonder if I’ll make friends. I know one thing, I’ll never have a better friend then Daphne. Picking up the phone, I dial my friends number, waiting for her to answer, and finally on the forth ring, she does. “Justin, hey, how’s Pittsburgh?” “Hey Daph, its ok, I mean we just got here today. I haven’t had much of a tour yet. But I love the house, and they even made one of the big rooms into a studio for me. It’s big with lots of light. They got me some easels and paints and stuff.” I love talking to her. “That’s great Jus, I know how much you didn’t look forward to going. But things will work out. Just don’t replace me.” She giggles. “I could never replace you. You’re my best friend.” Sighing as I lay back on my bed. “I keep thinking about what we would we would be doing if I was there. How we would be hanging out and goofing off. God, Daph, I’m really going to miss you.” “Aww Justin, we’ll see each other again. Hey, I got my new webcam today, so that way we can actually talk and see each other. So meet any hot girls yet?” “We just got here Daph.” I remind her “I haven’t had time to go out anywhere.” Laughing we talk about everything from a new boy in class that she has a crush on, to when she’ll visit me. I get up and look out my window and smile at all suburban houses in front but hills behind them. Which looks good to paint from all angles. I smile at the beauty surrounding this house I now call home. After getting off the phone, I lay back onto my bed, thinking that I’ll be starting school, tomorrow, and I’m very nervous about it, and this place. But I have a feeling, it is also going to change my life. Or I’m going to meet someone tomorrow, who will change my life. Rather for better or worse, I’m not sure yet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next chapter is about Brian. More to come soon. All feed welcome...a must to know I'm doing good. LOL
