1 Chapter 1 (1/2)
Montegra was just like what mom said. It was a huge city. There were bright lights and tall buildings, and I had never seen anything like it. Even with no one around you could tell that it was busy during the day. Skylar's heart beat with dread and fear as she looked out the car window. None of the cities she had ever lived in where like this.
This city was known to be for the rich, the ones who tried to become rich, the poor and for those with dreams they wanted to fulfil.
She remembered when her mon had told her the news about them moving. She couldn't even fake happiness. She had understood why her mom wanted them to move but nonetheless it still hurt. She was sad to leave everything behind. Especially her friends.
She was mad at herself for this. They moved because she had a scholarship at the new school prestigious school. She couldn't turn down this offer because just like her mom had said. ”This is a once in a life time opportunity that you can't miss out on.”
Her thoughts wondered over to her two best friends, Milo and Maya. When she had told them the news, they thought it was a prank but when they realized she was telling the truth they were as heartbroken as she was.
She had spent her last few days with them before she had left. We had promised to visit each other. Yet she knew it wasn't the same as almost seeing them every day.
The car came to a sudden halt. Skylar climbed out the car and looked at the house they would now have to call home. Why had her mom wanted to move so badly? Mom opened the trunk. ”You can start offloading your bags, Skylar.”
Skylar went to the back of the trunk and took her bags. They hadn't bought much stuff because this was their new beginning.
Skylar could hear nothing as it was past midnight. The moon was giving a soft glow which helped her to see where she was going.When she walked in the unfamiliar house, and she felt her unrest grow.
”Why are you just standing?”
Skylar covered her irritation. ”I was waiting for you to show me to my room.”
”This way madame”
She followed her upstairs and after turning. They go down a hallway and then she stops.
