Moving - Why Is Everyone Moving?
Xanthes POV
As I arrived to school on Monday I met my friends by our lockers. We were lucky because all three of our lockers are together. I was happy to be back at school. School was usually not my favorite place to be at but while I was at school I could take my mind off of other things. I needed to concentrate at school if I wanted to be successful in life. I told my parents yesterday that I was quieting modeling. My dad was okay with it but my mom was not to happy. It was my moms idea in the first place to put me into modeling. I really did like modeling but it was my mom who wanted me a be a model not me. I was really happy in gymnastics as a kid. If I could go back to doing gymnastics I would be much happier then I was as a model.
I am really happy that we may end up moving out to California after this school year. I would miss my friends but they would only be a phone call or email away. I asked my dad if I could have a part in the TV series that he was chosen to direct. He told me that I was to young to act in this show because they were looking for people 18 and over to be in this show. My dad also seems to think that my cousin Jayde would be perfect for a role in the new show. So Jayde came over to our house with aunt Aria and my dad filmed an audition video for Jayde. Today he is going to have another meeting with the people in charge of this new show and he is going to show them the tape of Jayde.
Leos POV
My dad dropped me off at school today so that I did not have to take the bus. He also informed me that my best friend Rosies mom would be picking me up after school today because he had to work late. I have had a crush on Rosie for a while and Rosie has had a huge crush on me for a long time. I was nervous about asking her out though. I was also afraid that if I fell in love young then my heart would get broken at a young age also. My sisters Jaydes first boyfriend was at the age of 13 and before she turned 15 her boyfriend had dumped her for a blonde haired cheerleader.
I see Rosie walking into school. I run up to her and tell her that I get to come home with her after school today. She tells me that she is excited to spend time with me after school today. She even suggested that we ask her mom to take us to get ice cream after school. Today was supposed to be a warmer then average day for mid march so I would love to be able to get ice cream after school especially with Rosie. Rosie and I walk together holding hands to our first class which we happen to have together.
Rosie POV
Leo and I are walking into the cafeteria together. We have the same classes all morning and then in the afternoon we have different classes. This means that after lunch I will not get to see Leo until my mom comes to pick us up after school. My mom is working from home today so she can pick Leo and I up instead of both of us having to take the bus home. We sit down with Xanthe. The three of us eat lunch together everyday. I know that even in high school we will remain to be friends.
"How was your photo shoot thing that you had over the weekend?" I asked Xanthe
"I really do not want to talk about it." Xanthe replied to Leo and I
"I still want to see the magazine articles when they come out." I said to Rosie
"You will see them. These will be the last ones for me because I am quieting modeling." Xanthe said to Leo and I
"I thought that you really liked it." Leo said to Xanthe
"I did but I really do not want to do it anymore." Xanthe said to Leo and I
"Are you going to go back to gymnastics?" Leo asked Xanthe
"Maybe, We might be moving to California after this school year." Xanthe said to Leo and I
"Why?" Leo asked Xanthe
"My dad got offered a director role for a new TV series." Xanthe said to Leo and I
"Why is everyone moving?" I asked Xanthe
"Are you or Leo moving this summer as well?" Xanthe asked Leo and I
"No." Leo said
"I am not moving but my cousin Bella is moving back to London when her dad gets out of jail." I said
"Your uncle Wren is in Jail." Leo said
"For what?" Xanthe said
"Long story, I really do not want to talk about it." I said
Lunch was now over and the three of them went their separate ways to their afternoon classes.
Leos POV
I meet up with Rosie by our lockers after school. I decided that I was going to ask her out. Hopefully she will say yes. We went outside and sat on a bench near the parents pick up line waiting for Rosies mom to pick us up. She had texted Rosie saying that she was near the end of the line so they should just wait for the line to move up.
"I know that you have a huge crush on me, so will you go out with me?" I asked and she looked surprised
Rosies POV
I can not believe that he just asked me out. I am so surprised that I am finding it hard to say yes. Instead of saying yes I move closer to Leo and kiss him.
"So was that a yes?" Leo asked me
"Yes, I will go out with you." I said
Then we kissed again. We were in the middle of our kiss when we heard a car honk. We stopped kissing each other and I noticed that it was my mom that honked the car. I can not believe that she saw us kiss. Leo and I got up from the bench and we both got in the back seat of my moms car.
"So how long has that been going on?" My mom asked me
"Just today. He asked me out and I said yes." I said
"I approve." My mom said
"Can we go get a dairy cream mom?" I asked
"Do you want to come with us Leo?" My mom asked
"Yes, We can treat it like a first date." Leo said
"Do not get to far ahead of yourself Leo. Just because she has my approval that does not mean that Toby will approve of this." My mom said
"So if dad says no then you are just going to let him win and have his way again." I said
"No but if he thinks that you are to young to date then you will just have to wait." My mom said
"That is so not fair how dad always has the final say." I said
"When you told us that you wanted to try out for the equestrian three day eventing team we both agreed that you were to young." My mom said
"Yes but when I asked you first you told me to go ask dad." I said
"I wanted to hear his opinion before I told you yes or no." My mom said
We went to dairy queen. Leo got an M and M blizzard, I got an Oreo blizzard, and my mom got a soft serve vanilla.
JTs POV
I went strait home after school. Rochelle and Elizabeth were home by the time I got home. My mom should be home with Rosie soon and my dad would probably be working to dinner time. My girlfriend came home with me because we had a project to work on. I texted my mom and asked for permission because I was still grounded. My parents were not home yet so I still had my phone on me. Tyler was texting me about a last minute baseball meeting that had been scheduled for after school today. I skipped the meeting because I needed to work on the project and this was one of the few days that my girlfriend and I were both available to work on the project.
We were in the living room putting together a poster. I was on my laptop because I had to do some research and type words for the poster. Tyler and I were texting about what was going on during the meeting. All of the sudden My dad came into the living room and grabbed my cell phone out of my hands. He was home about two hours before I thought that he would get home.
"I was in the middle of texting Tyler." I said to my dad
"You are grounded and it is after school hours so your phone is supposed to be in my home office." My dad said
"Well he was texting me about a baseball meeting that I was missing." I said
"So you skipped the meeting to hang out with your girlfriend because you thought that I was not going to be home until later." My dad said all mad at me
"I skipped the meeting to work on a project with my girlfriend because she is my partner." I said
"If it was for a school project then that is fine but you should have asked me first." My dad said
"I asked mom and she said that it would be okay." I said
"Then I guess you are not breaking any rules." My dad said
Then mom and Rosie finally get home
General POV
"I did not think that you would be home yet." Spencer said to Toby
"Work was not that busy today so I did not have to stay late. JT helped me a lot on Saturday so it helped to make Monday an easy day." Toby said to Spencer
"That is good to hear." Spencer said to Toby
"So what were you and Rosie up to after school?" Toby asked Spencer
"I picked Leo up with Rosie. They wanted to spend some time together so I took them to get a dairy queen and then I took Leo home." Spencer told Toby
"Ice cream before dinner, Who's idea was that?" Toby asked Spencer
"Rosie and Leos idea. They asked me so I took them." Spencer told Toby
"You could have said no." Toby said to Spencer
"Cause that is what you would have said." Spencer said to Toby
Rosies POV
"You and Leo, Is their something going on with you two that I do not know about?" My dad asked
"He asked me out on a date and I said yes." I said
"You are still a little to young to date." My dad told me
"Mom is okay with Leo and I going out." I said
"You two can do things together as just friends but you are to young to be in love." My dad said
"So how old do I have to be before I can date?" I asked my dad
"18." My dad said
"That is so not fair. Rochelle and Elizabeth started dating at 14. JT has a girlfriend and he is 16 so why do I have to wait until I am 18." I said to my dad
"You are our youngest and I do not want you to get your heartbroken at such a young age."My dad said
"So that is just part of growing up. I bet both you and mom have been heartbroken before." I said
"You are right both of us had been heartbroken at one point or another of our teenage years." My dad said
"Who were you heartbroken by?" I asked
"you know your mothers friend Alison." My dad said
"Yes." I said
"We had a short relationship when I was around 15 years old. It was my first relationship and it did not last very long. It turned out that she was dating multiple guys at the same time and most of them were older then me." My dad said
"So who broke moms heart?" I asked
"You would have to ask her but I bet that she would say me." My dad said
"You broke her heart before." I said
"I really should not be telling you this but when your mom was a teenager her and some of her friends were getting threatening texts from A. There was this A team and multiple people were involved at one point or another including me and your mom. I had joined the team to try and protect your mom but when she found out she was really devastated. A few weeks later she joined the team because she was trying to find out what I was up to. We reunited after not seeing each other for a couple weeks and I told her the truth and she forgave me." Toby said
"Did you ever find out everyone that was involved?" I asked my dad
"No, eventually the threatening messages just stopped." My dad said
"Do you thing that my siblings and I are going to get texts now?" I asked
"No, nobody has gotten any for several years." My dad said
General POV
Spencer, Toby, and all of their kids were now having dinner.
"Why is everyone moving?" Rosie asked
"Who is moving now?" Spencer asked
"Xanthe might be going to California because her dad got offered a directing role for a new TV series." Rosie said
"People move Rosie, It is just a fact of life." Toby said
"How come we never moved?" Rosie asked
"Your dad and I moved a few times before we settled on this house." Spencer said
"We moved into this house when your mom was pregnant with you." Toby said
"Were did you live before?" Rosie asked
"When I turned 18 I moved out of my parents house and moved into the loft apartment above the brew." Toby said
"What about mom?" Rosie asked
"I lived with my parents until I graduated high school. After Toby proposed to me at my graduation I moved in with him." Spencer said
"How long did you live there?" Rosie said
"What is with all these questions Rosie?" Toby asked
"I am just want to know." Rosie said
"Well by the end of that summer we were married. We took the money that we received from our wedding and moved into a three bedroom apartment." Spencer said
"We lived there for a few years before we moved in here." Toby said
"We were young adults trying to raise kids while both of us were trying to get our college degrees." Spencer said
"It was not easy but somehow we did it. We had three kids and we were expecting a fourth in a three bedroom apartment. Your mom and I had one room, Rochelle and Elizabeth shared the second bedroom, and JT had the small third bedroom in that apartment. We were having a fourth kid so we decided to move into a bigger place. We took our savings and put a down payment on this house." Toby said
"Are you satisfied now Rosie?" Spencer asked
"Yes, I love hearing story about the two of you." Rosie said
"We have plenty more that we can tell you." Toby said
"I think that she has heard enough stories for one night." Spencer said
"We will tell all of you more stories another time." Toby said
Rosies POV
After dinner I was upstairs in my bedroom. I texted Leo.
"My dad said that I am to young to date so right now we can only be friends - Rosie"
"My dad told me the same exact thing. My mom was okay with it though. - Leo"
"My mom was okay with it but my dad is just being to overprotective of me. - Rosie"
"Same with me. We could sneak around behind their backs if you want to. - Leo"
"I am willing to sneak around if you are. - Rosie"
"We will sneak around then to your dad and my dad agree to us going out. - Leo"
"Okay, See you at school tomorrow. - Leo"
Leo and I were done texting and then I got a text that I was not expecting.
"If you think that you are going to be able to sneak around without getting caught you have something coming for you. You will not be able to sneak around for long with me around. - A"
Surprise, I brought A into this story. I was not really planing on it but I was typing this and I just decided to put A in the story. Let me know what you think about the addition of A in this story. Do you want to see more A texts or no.
