The Different Ones

Sort of an Introduction :)?

Cam's POV

"My day started out wearily." I said as I rode in the car with my uncle Liam  and cousin Alexa.

"Ah. Moving out to a small town with us isn't really something to be excited about, huh?" Uncle Liam said.

"Its probably not that bad....at least I hope not." I replied

"Compared to the last city you lived in....Atlanta...right?"

I nodded

He gave a small laugh

"Trust me, some of the people that have lived here for over a few months to a year and they hate this place!"

He continued

"Especially with the youth, like you."

"Well....It'll be good to take a break from a big city like Atlanta anyways." I replied.

"I guess so. It'd be cool if I could take a trip to Atlanta some day." He replied 

"Nice city to visit, not so much if you're not into lots of traffic....and dark alleys with druggies..." I said deciding not to continue my sentence

"It still sounds better than this dumb town." Alexa said with slight anger in her tone.

I turned around to see her sitting in the back seat with a bored expression on her face, looking out the window.

"Ah....Alexa has always hated this town. Especially since the mall here shut down." Liam said

"That was the last fun place we had here! Not to mention it didn't even really have a lot of stores anyway, but it was still a fun place to hangout!" Alexa said still with slight anger.

"Alexa you're only ten. You're too young to be stressing out about this. Live your life freely while you're young." Liam said

"Whatever dad." Alexa said giving up on the argument.

I heard her mumble something else under her breath, but it wasn't worth getting into another argument .

We rode to Liam's house not saying much. I looked out the window thinking about my new life, considering I for once wasn't living with my parents.

Once we arrived, I realized his house was bigger than I expected, considering his wife just died and Alexa was an only child. His wife was a doctor, so she made most of the money in the family. I wonder what their other source of  income was....oh well.

I entered the house, and it was pretty nice. As I was walking through the hallway, I noticed a lot of pictures of their family. It was a nice photo wall. It kinda reminded me of my family at home. 

"Here's your room!" Alexa said slightly cheerful

"That's the first time you've said anything cheerful since I've gotten here." I said with a small laugh.

"Whatever." Alexa said with a small laugh behind it.

"My room is next to your's.....so ya know, if you need anything, ask!" Alexa said as she slowly started walking back to her room.

Alexa stopped at her door.

"Oh....and.....dad is at work like 24/7, so he's in and out of the house." Alexa said

Alexa continued

"He's a detective. Like Sherlock Holmes, but worse."

I gave back a small laugh.

She went into her room.

I walked into my room, and their obviously isn't much. I'm guessing it was an old guest room.
