**CHAPTER 3**
A women stood infront of our house, waiting for us. She gave us the keys then says we should call her if we are interested.
Me and my brother walked to the new house in silence.
We got to the house and I noticed that has a Huge slide door, with small front yard with grass. We head inside, the first thing we walked in is the livingroom, next to it is a small kitchen, but it's big enough for etleast 6 people. We walk down the hall and see that there are 3 huge rooms thats next to eachother, each has their own bathroom, but there isn't a geust bathroom.
“What do you think?” my brother asks while we walk back to the kitchen.
“It's a pretty good price for everything it has to offer. I love the rooms.” I tell him.
“Wanna move in?” he asks.
“Maybe later, I still need to go the market and we have alot of packing to do. I want to get this done before the new game comes out.” I said to him.
We both walk outside the house while my brother is speaking to the women to tell her we are taking the house.
I look to my left side and noticed that Jessie and Olivia are our neighbors, pretty cool but it's probably going to be tougher to hide it from my brother about who they are.
While we were standing outside I see the guy who delivered the box is walking towards us.
He notices me and yelled, “Hey!”
I greet him back.
“Who's that?” my brother asks.
“That's the guy who delivered my books.” I reply.
When the guy reaches us he asks what we are doing. We tell him that we are buying the house and we came to look at it.
“That's cool,” he replies “Oh yeah, I'm Hayden, by the way.” he introduces himself.
Me and my brother just looked at him.
“Well we are heading back to our old apartment. ” my brother says.
“Mind if I help you guys move?” Hayden asks.
My brother excepted without thinking about it first.
We start walking to the house when suddenly I heard someone calling me. I look to my side and see that it is Olivia.
“I'll catch up later. I'm going to the store. ”I quickly said to my brother and Hayden. I don't think my brother noticed Olivia calling me.
They kept walking and I imdaintly went to Olivia.
“Hey, I'm going to the store, wanna tag along? ” I ask her.
“Sure...I've nothing better to do, and Jessie is playing a game. ” she tells me.
**At the store**
Later we got to the store. I just threw a bunch of stuff into the basket that I think we need.
“So you guys want to move in next us, ey?” Olivia asks.
“Uh-Yeah. It was a spare the moment thing. But I really like it, it's a way better upgrade than the old house.”
“I never actually really seen your house. But I know what they are going to change your street in... They are going to turn in it to one of the new head courters.” she tells me.
“Oh, I never knew that.”
There is an awkward silence for a few seconds.
I finally gotten everything we need so I head to pay for.
“So what new?” I ask her.
“Well my cousin just moved back here recently. ” she replies.
I didn't ask her who her cousin is, I just wanted to get back home.
We walk back together in silence. I'm mostly enjoying the cold and snow.
Olivia went back home when we got near her house, I waved her goodbye and head back home aswell.
**Back home **
“Hey,” I greet my brother and Hayden. I put down the groceries on a table “See you've packed the kitchen already. ”
“Yeah. We leave aftef when the sun has rises.” my brother says.
I didn't say anything. I took out the three monser energy drinks I bought for everyone and aswell as the sweets I bought fir myself. I handed the two drinks for my brother and Hayden.
“I'm going to go and pack my room. Just remember to help set up the Playstation at the new house.” I said ti my brother and walk back to my room. I can hear them talking in the kitchen, but I didn't know what it is about.
I close my bedroom door and started packing out my closet into the boxes my brother left in the room.
I then open the packet of sweets.
'Kind of wierd how they get the shapes of it. It's guns and knives based on the games.' I thought 'The falvours are diffrent aswell'
I then went further on packing.
While I'm looking through the closet I found a box of old memories. The box contains photos of my parents and me and my brother when we were little and some old key chains and jewelry from my mother that goes around the family for generations. I put the box next to the other boxes.
When I was done packing the needable stuff around my room I open the box of books I ordered.
The first book I picked up is about fashion, the name of the book is 'The style throughout centuries. ', it gotten my interest pretty quickly.
I sat the book down on my bed and put on some short pejamas to sleep in, then I put my hair into a ponytail.
I climbed in my bed while pulling up the blankets.
Before I start reading the book I wanted to make sure that I don't have any unread messages.
After reading and replying to most messages I got into a comfortable position and start reading the book.
Interesting how much fashion and style there was. Nobody owns this type of clothes, only gamer suits and sweatpants, etleast I own more then one or two outfits.
After reading the book and looking through it, I realized how nice it would have been back than, realizing how much has changed, but if I read the other books I'll then actually realize that the 3000's suck.
I soon fell asleep with the book still in my hands.
**Next day**
I woke from banging and loud noises.
My brother is probably packing the boxes on the trailer.
I sit up and rubbed my face. “Oh I'm so tired.” I said to myself.
I standed up and put on a hoodie, I realized that I packed all of my long pants and I really don't want to show my legs to the outside.
My brother knocked on the door asking if he can get the boxes and stuff.
He opens the door and noticed that I'm not wearing long pants. He knows how I feel about it.
“Do you want to borrow one of my sweatpants? ” he offers.
“Yes, please.” I thankfully accepted.
My brother told me to quickly run to his room, he hasn't packed all his clothes yet.
While I'm walking to his room I bumped into Hayden.
“Your still here?” I ask confused.
“Yeah, I'm helping... Remember? ” he reminds me. He looks down to my legs and I started to panick, I know he has seen it before, but I don't want him to get a closer look. I quickly turned and ran to my brother's room.
I went outside when I was ready. Hayden looks a little upset when he sees me.
'He noticed.' I thought, feeling embarrassed.
After packing the things onto the trailer I climbed into the car and they too.
While driving, Hayden asks my brother how many games he's beaten and what level he is on.
“I'm level 510 now and I've finished about 10 games, ” he replies “And you?”
“I'm level 490, beaten 6 games so far,.” Hayden replies “And you?” he asks me.
“I'm a level 405 and I only beaten 3 games.” I reply.
“Wow, what was the games?” he asks.
“First one was Shadow night, I was a sixth place winner and In War treazon I was first place and Hawks eye aswell. ” I tell him.
He seems surprised about how much Sp I have with only 3 games beaten.
Soon we reached the house and the first thing my brother did is the heavy lifting jobs like the beds, tables and TV's, luckily Hayden helped him.
While I'm taking a box of the trailer I see Jessie and Olivia walking in my direction.
“Hey.” they greet.
“Hey, what are you guys doing? ” I ask them.
“Not much. I played A group game on Playstation that really tired me out. ” Jessie says.
“I was just on my way to get siggerrets.” Olivia says.
My brother and Hayden came out of the house.
“Hey...” Hayden greets.
“Manly all of a sudden, Huh Hayden?” Olivia says as a sarcastically joke.
“Yeah, you guys are manly enough to do things on your before I moved back.” he says and laughs.
Hayden must be their cousin...well that's awkward.
“Well I need to go do my first task of the day. You guys enjoy whatever your doing. So you guys around.” Olivia say and walks away. Jessie follows her. My brother didn't know what's going on, he just carries on taken boxes of the trailer.
Soon after everything is unpacked I went outside, Hayden came along aswell. My brother is in my room, setting up the Tv and Playstation.
“Are you okay? ” he asks.
“Yeah, why?” he reply.
“You seem really of putting when you show your legs. What happened? ” he asks worriedly.
“Uh- It's nit quite an interesting story and I don't really like to talk about it.” I said. I then went back inside to unpack my clothes and stuff in my room. My brother went back to his room, Hayden following him.
**My brother and Hayden **
Hayden is sitting on the bed, looking upset.
“What's wrong? ” I ask him while plugging in the TV.
“Nah just thinking.” he replies.
“About?”
“Your Sister.” he says.
Little weird, but it didn't bother me, “What about her?” I ask him.
“What happened to her?” he asks.
“What do you mean?”
“Her legs has scars and burns...” he says.
“She doesn't want to talk about, but I'll tell you,” I reply while sitting down next to him “My mother and farther was abusive and uncaring people. She was still young when it happened. They would normally hit her and do terrible stuff... But never to me, at that time I was living at my grandparents. One day my parents just decided to leave her at the house and that very same night there was a fire, burning her on her back and legs. When my parents got home and the police arrived to investigate they saw that the stove was left on with wood everywhere. Although nothing happened since than, they still were mean to her...never actually knew why. When they both died in a shoot out I returned back hom to look after her. ” I tell him.
His eyes are watery and he seems sad.
“But it's in the past... And don't tell her I told you.” I said to him.
He smiles and tells me that he promises.
“So what's your name?” he asks.
“I'm, Jame and for incase you wanted to know, my sisters name is, Jackie. But than again, do not tell her, I told you.” I demanded.
Hayden asks if he can stay over until the sun rises again, I offered if he wants to sleep in the spare room and he excepted.
**Back to Jackie**
I'm finally done unpacking everything in my room. The books I put on the TV stand so that it doesn't get lost.
Finally I have my own bathroom and there is alot of space to play VR games.
I hear my brother talking to Hayden, I wonder what it's about. While I throw my blankets over the bed, I got this craving fot junk food.
I decided to go ask my brother if they want something too, but before I do that I went to take a shower first...I felt reslly dirty from moving and cleaning.
After showering I put on a tight jean with a really coll baggy T-shirt, I put my hair into a low ponytail.
I closed my door and locked it. My underwear and stuff is still on the bed...I forgot to pack it.
I knock on my brothers door, he tells me I can come in.
“Do you guys want something to eat?” I ask them.
“Uh yeah we are starving...what are you getting to eat?” Jame asks.
“Maybe KFC or MC. Donalds.” I tell them.
They told me what I needed to order for them. I don't know what the place specials is but they have new specials everytime a game comes out or won.
After ordering the food I started packing out the kitchens stuff, I started by taking out the glass and plates and so forth. When I got to packing out the food Hayden walks into the kitchen. He offered to help me, although I can do it on my own I didn't mind him helping me.
He takes one box and sat in on the table, asking where he should put it. “So what are you going to do after unpacking?” he asks.
“I'm going to play a game that I ordered. ” I reply.
“What game is it? ”
“I Rina. I know I don't have a chance of winning it, but etleast I can try.” I said.
“I Rina is tough game, but when you learn al the basics it's pretty easy to get through the levels...the only thing is that you get tired of the game after a while.” he tells me.
“Yeah, Olivia told me. But I have spare time and I don't get bored of a game quite easily. ” I joked.
He looks me up and down and says that he likes my outfit and that I have a keen sense of style. He then asks me about the books I ordered and what they are about. But before telling him the food had arrived.
After paying for it I sat it down on the table while calling my brother.
We sit around the table in the kitchen the rest of the time talking about a bunch of stuff while eating. I noticed Hayden seemed a little off putting when he looks at me, like he feels sorry, but what ever reason why I don't want him to get feelings for me or anything.
I went to bed to get some rest.
