Hiding Away From You

Chapter 1

Today was the first day in a new city. I wanted to start over. Los Angeles was way to overwhelming and I had to get out. My name is Jade Watson and I'm a bit different from everyone else. That's why I move so often. I always wear dark black skinny jeans, a hoodie and converse. I'm about 5'10" and have bright blue eyes, sometimes it's hard to hide away.
I just got off the plane in Portland, Maine. I have to drive two hours to get to where I'm going to be staying, which is a little town called Belfast, Maine. It is so much different from where I grew up in Eugene, Oregon. Belfast is very little and the people are all so friendly. That's why I chose it. I had already gotten a little condo just for me while I was still in Los Angeles.
Lost in my thoughts, I stood in the middle of the airport until someone bumped into me and knocked me to the ground. As they rushed on, a small "I'm sorry" came my way from them. How much of a hurry could they be in.
Taken out of my thoughts I went to grab my bags from the baggage claim. I didn't have much so there were only two medium suitcases for me to grab and I walked out to the rental car shop so I could drive to Belfast. I didn't want to take a train and there were no busses available here. I could return the rental car some other day anyways, after I get a car.
I realized my hood was down when I walked up to the counter. The lady was staring as was everyone else because my hair was a rainbow of colors at the moment. I quickly put my hood back on. Right now I was having mixed emotions so my hair was red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.
When I'm happy my hair is yellow, when I'm sad it's blue and so on for the other emotions that people experience. When people find out that my hair changes colors like a mood ring, I have to move away because they get scared of me. Hopefully I can stay here for a while. It's very nice.
~Time Skip~
I finally made it to my new home and I instantly fell in love. I grabbed my bags out of the rental car and ran up to the door. The landlord said he put the key under the mat so I grabbed it, quickly unlocked the door and rushed in.
It was the perfect place. The kitchen was amazing, it even had a breakfast bar and the whole place was fully furnished which was also a nice feature. The condo had one bedroom with a queen size bed, a small office and 1 1/2 baths. The washer and dryer were in a little closet space and I even got a patio. I lived on the second floor with a beautiful view of all the different trees and flowers that scattered the grounds. In the distance I could see the top of the lighthouse above the trees.
I started unpacking my clothes and putting them in the dresser that was provided. I don't have hangers yet so I'll have to go get some of those but other than that I was set.
After I was done unpacking I went out on the patio and sat in one of the chairs to enjoy the weather. In L.A. I was so incredibly hot and here it was only about 75°F. I couldn't have chosen a better place to live.
Then, I saw him. He had blonde hair , was wearing sunglasses so I couldn't see his face much and he looked quite tall from my view. It seemed he lived in the same building as me, I wonder what floor. There were only two floors with 3 condos on each so there weren't many places for him to be.
*Knock, knock*
I wonder who that is. I am not the most social person and don't make friends easily so it should be interesting. I looked through the peep hole and there he was again. The blonde boy who wore sunglasses... Indoors?
I opened the door and he immediatly started talking "hey stranger, I saw you out on your porch when I came in. I'm locked out of my house because my brother has the only key. Can I hang here for a bit?"
"Uhh sure, I guess come on in," I said a bit surprised. He walked in and sat on my couch. "...sure, make yourself at home" I mumble. "Do you want some food or something to drink?" Only then did he look up from his phone and almost take his glasses off even though he didn't. What is up with this guy? Why does he wear sunglasses inside? Maybe he forgot to take them off? Weird..
