Chapter 4

Hey guys! Sorry I'm updating a bit late.. But here's chapter 4 and hope you like it :)..
Chapter 4~ Who are you?
Jamie's Pov
Today is the day. The house is empty and we are getting ready to leave this place forever. California better be good.
"Are you ready sweetie? We leave in 20," My mom says, giving me a sympathetic smile as I hug Erika and Christian for the hundredth time today and it's barely 11 AM. Erika was sobbing and us guys were trying to be strong.
After a few minutes I pull away and nod towards my mom. She walks out and waits in the car signaling that I have to say goodbye. I take a step towards Christian and we do our handshake and I pull him into a bro hug.
"Thanks for everything man. Don't forget to visit me soon," I tell him as we pull away.
"You know it, J," he smiles and I return it. I turn to Erika who is still crying and shaking.
"Hey," I say to her "it's okay. This is not goodbye. I will be in Cali but we'll always be best friends," I say and mean it. I pull her into my chest and hug her tightly.
"I'll miss you. Now I'll be stuck with this knucklehead," she says when I let her go. All three of us chuckle lightly.
"Thanks to both of you," I say and pull both of them into one last group hug.
"See you guys later," I say and walk out the door without looking back.
"Jamie!" someone calls from inside. I turn around.
"We love you," Erika says. I smile at her and head to the car.
I love you guys too...

"Jamie we're here wake up," someone shakes me. I groan. We must be in California already..
"I'm up," I say rubbing my eyes and climbing out of the car. I examine the house as they put boxes inside. I pick up one of my boxes and ask my mom to show me to my room.
"Here it is!" she says walking me into a small room up the stairs and first door on the right. It's good for me. I put my box down and go downstairs to get more.
This would be considered rude if I hadn't just woke up and left my complete life behind hours ago. I pick up two more boxes and put them in my new room.

After getting my bed and a nightstand in my room I start unpacking. Mom said we'll get all of our stuff set up in the next few days and is getting me into school starting Monday. For now a bed and nightstand are what is unloaded from the van.
I am keeping busy by putting my clothes in my closet. While I'm putting my shoes in my closet I hear a knock on my door.
"Come in," I call continuing to carefully place my sneakers inside.
"Jamie can you do something?" my mom says just as I close the closet doors.
"Sure, mom. What is it?" I ask curiously
"I made some chocolate chip cookies to say hello to the nieghbors. This will give them a good impression so please go introduce us," she says. This is her way of trying to make me a friend.
"Sure," I mumble and she kisses my cheek and I follow her downstairs. She hands me a plate with a top on it and the smell of cookies fills the kitchen.
I smile at her and my dad gives me a rewarding smile, too. It's hot outside so I don't put on a jacket and head outside with the plate. I walk to the house next door and ring the bell. I wait as I hear incoherent voices inside.
After a few minutes of humming impatiently a girl finally opens the door. She looks my age and I stare at her. She's beautiful no doubt about it. She raises an eyebrow at me and places a hand on her hip impatiently as if asking why I'm here wasting her time.
"Hey!" I say, a bit too cheerfully. Smooth Jamie real smooth, I mentally facepalm myself.
"Um.. Who are you?" she asks. She's not even being subtle about eyeing me up and down. I shift uncomfortably under her stare.
"I'm J-Jamie. I just m-moved in next door and I brought s-some chocolate chip cookies." I stutter. Can't blame me.
She walks out and closes the door behind her.
"Jamie," she repeats
"I bet you have a perfect life. I'll take the cookies but that doesn't mean we're friends. I can tell you have an amazing life while.." She trails off.
She doesn't want to be friends? Perfect life? My life isn't perfect.
"Why can't we be friends?" I ask the curly haired green eyed mysterious girl in front of me. She rolls her eyes.
"You don't get it. Thanks for the cookies, Jamie. You can go now," she says and I hand her the cookies I forgot I was holding.
Allison's Pov
"What's your name?" The boy asks. First I get a beating from him about telling the Blonde now this? Why can't this annoying kid leave already?
"Why do you care?" I spit. Jamie gives me a look with his light brown eyes that I can't put my finger on.
"Please stop avoiding the question," he says
"Allison okay? Can you go now?" I say rudely. He runs his fingers through his hair and sighs.
"Fine. See you around, Allison," he says turning on his heel and jogging down the porch steps.
"Hopefully not," I mumble and carry the cookies with me inside just as he walks away.
~~~~~~~
They finally met! *squeals* It was rude on Alli's part but.. You know her. He called her beautiful.. Awwh.
Do you think Allison will eventually start to be nice to Jamie?
