New York

Chapter 1

My phone rings. It's my best friend, Isabelle, again. She's been calling me nonstop since she saw James and me in what she would call a 'moment'. James is treated like crap by everyone except Izzy and me. Izzy told me that he started liking me that day he saw me at the mall with my older sister, Emily.  Well anyways, Izzy walked in on us while we were making out, and that is the moment she realized we're a couple.

"Hello?" I answer the phone because if I don't she won't stop calling.

"Haley, what the heck?!" I don't know whether she is disappointed or happy for me. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well, you were best friends with him until I transfered schools here, so what was I suppose to say, 'Hey, I'm dating your guy bestfriend'?"

"Are you going to break up after you leave for a better school?"

"No, we're going long distance, unless we don't feel comfortable after a while of that."

"I'm going to miss you! At least I get to take you to the airport."

"Yeah, when are you going to pick me up tomorrow?"

"Around six, because it's a two hour drive to the airport."

"Well, I'm going to bet, goodnight!"

"Goodnight!"

***THE NEXT DAY***
My alarm starts to beep, so I roll over and hit it with a lot of force, and plan my day out. I finally get out of bed to get ready.

I found the outfit I laid out last night; a black skirt, a pink top, and black flats.

I start to have a mini panic attack while I look for my phone. That's when it rings in my hand, and it's my boyfriend calling.

"Hey, J-Bear." I'm probably going to miss him the most while I'm gone. He was one of my first friends when I transfered schools. I hope nothing changes between us.

"Good morning, baby girl." I'm glad he can't see me through the phone, because I'm blushing. "So, Izzy and I were talking and I'm going to pick you up first, then we'll stop and get her."

"Okay, sounds good to me. I have to go get ready, but I'll see you soon."

"Alright, I love you."

"I love you, too." I hang up as my mum walks in.

"I was thinking we could eat breakfast and talk before your friends get here, what would you like to eat?"

"Bacon, eggs, and toast, if that's okay with you."

"Perfect, you finish getting ready, and I'll call you when it's ready." She smiles and closes my door.

I plug in my curling iron and let it warm up while I do my makeup. I'm not even sure why I'm doing my hair and makeup, it'll just get messed up on the plane.

After I'm done with my makeup, I curl my hair. My hair is almost the exact same shade of brown as my mum's, I have been told we look alike but I don't see it. She has brown eyes, but my eyes are blue, like my father's. I've never met him, he left before I was born.

The curls feel warm as they fall against my skin. I hear a knock on my window and it makes me jump and burn my arm.

"Crap!" I yell turning toward my window. There's a creepy guy there. He has a long white beard and a bald head. He's yelling something, but since the window is closed I don't hear it very well. It sounded like, "Don't go to that school! I'm warning you!"

I quickly pull the curtains shut and go back to curling my hair. I finish as my mum calls me to the kitchen.

"I'm so proud of you! You got into a school that not many people could. Your dad would've been proud, too."

"Thanks, mum. I wish dad didn't leave. He'd be happy to see that you haven't given up on me." My dad hasn't even tried to contact us, so we don't even know if he's alive or anything about him.

After we finished eating and I filled my stomach with as much food as I could, I hear a knock at the front door. I stand up as James walks in.

"Hey, how's everything going?" He asks.

"Fine, how's your mother?" My mum asks.

"She's fine. I'll go get your stuff while you say goodbye."

"Okay, it's in my room." I stand up and hug my mum. "I'm going to miss you!"

"I'm going to miss you, too! At least you can home for summer."

"I should go help James carry my stuff. I'll be right back."

When I got into my room James had gotten all my bags and was turning around. He saw me walking towards him and set my bags down. His blue eyes and blond hair matches perfectly.

We're really close, he bends down to kiss me, but before he has a chance to my phone rings.

"It's Izzy," I say while showing him the screen. I answer the call.

"Hey, we're about to leave. Don't worry, we didn't forget about you."

"Don't tell me you've been making out the whole time."

"Haha." I hang up and grab a bag and James's hand.
