Double Trouble

Chapter 1

1.

The train rolled in at about 7:30 at the train station in California. “I hate it here! I wanna go home!” Yelled 17 year old Emma. She had just flown from Pennsylvania to Quebec then to California and caught a train to her street. Along with her foster mother Ella. Emma's mother had just gotten a new job as an attorney.

Ella -“This is your new home Emma.”

Emma -No. My home is where i grew up and where all my friends are. This is not home.

Ella- you will make friends Em.

Emma- its not that easy. I will never see my old friends again, this is all your fault.

Emma knew that the only reason they moved was because of her Criminal record, but she was upset and regretted the words after she had said them.

Ella- i am not fighting with you. Now go get in the taxi and we can go to our house.

Emma got into the car not saying anything that would get her into anymore trouble.

Emma and her mother sat in silence for the remainder of the 30 minute drive, until Ella broke the

silence.

Ella- look here are some cute guys, Emma!

Emma looked out the window and five tall and cute boys looked back at her.

They all had the same expression like she had four eyes or something. Little did she know , the boys wanted to know her better.

Emma got to her new “house” and she stared at her self in the mirror. She hated the way she looked. She had long hair that was almost to her waist, it was pin straight, but easy to curl. She had the brightest blue eyes and she was average height. She had many boyfriends but never found the right guy. She was starting to think that love was impossible to find.

Emma heard talking outside of her door. She looked out of her bedroom window and saw a few girls walking down her street. Great she thought, the “bitch possey..” here comes the drama.

She noticed that one of the girls looked really sad, at that moment the girl looked at her and Emma felt something weird inside her chest. The girl looked like Emma. Not exactly but there were some similarities, the girl noticed that too because they both looked away at the same time. Emma ran down the stairs and out the door. But when she got outside the four girls were gone.

Emma felt an emptiness inside her heart. Could she have a sister ? Emma thought there was no way. But then again, she was adopted.

The Next day Emma danced down the stairs happier then usual.

Emma- hi mum.

Ella – well good morning, you seem perky today :)

Emma – well i am just trying to make the best out of a bad situation.. (she said that more sarcastically than she meant)

Ella- i am glad you have a good perspective, anyways it is time for school.

Emma – mom! We just moved in can i at least have one day off..?

Ella – nope you don't wanna be late, go.

*Emma*

It was moments like this where i resented my mother.

Anyways off to school i went, not ready for what was about to happen.

 I walk into the school and I see those guys from the street. They are just staring at me. I head to the bathroom to make sure there is nothing on my face and make sure my hair and make-up are okay.

???- Hi, are you new here?

Emma – yeah i just moved here yesterday..

it was that girl from the street.

??- i am Gillian.

Emma- I am Emma :)

Gillian- so how is your first day going?

Emma- well aside from the stares from those five boys over there,( she pointed at the boys.)

Gillian – what! They were looking at you?! They don't pay attention to anyone. You are some lucky.

They are in a band called One Direction. They are amazing, and super nice but they kind of keep to themselves.

Emma- ohh, okaay well it was nice to meet you, but i am gonna be late for my next class would you mind helping me find it?

Gillian- no not at all! Follow me :)

Emma- thanks i really appreciate it.

Gillian and Emma walked down the stairs and took a few turns and she made it to her class in time.

Emma- thank you!

Gillian – no problem,want to sit with me and my girls at lunch ?

Emma – are you sure they wont mind?

Gillian – of course not! See you then ?

Emma – Deff!

Gillian – Byee!

Emma walked into her class room and seen 3 of the four boys in her class, great she thought, i feel like a freak. The only seat left to take was of course by one of the boys, i had to admit they were cute but they make me feel insecure the way they look at me.

??- HI! I am Louis, i am in a band called One Direction,

Emma- hhh hi .. I am Emma ..

Louis- i knew that ( he winked at her)

Emma blushed and looked away, she could feel her cheeks getting redder and she did not want to embarrass herself in front of him.

Louis- so where did you used to live ?

Emma- uhh..umm... pennsylvania.. (she studdered)

Louis – whats wrong..? are you okaay?

Emma- yeah i am fine.

Louis – okaay :)

She walked into the Cafeteria and searched for Gillian. It was huge, she was looking for several minutes until she saw Gillian's long hair, she sat down and ate her lunch laughing and joking with the girls. She glanced at Louis and his friends and of course they were looking at her, but this time she kind of liked it.

For the first time this year she actually felt happy, she had found a friend that she already new she could trust, and she may have found a potential boyfriend. Her life felt perfect.
