After thirty eight long hours from Wake Forest, North Carolina to Santa Monica, California we finally arrive at our new house late at night. The house looked beautiful lit up with its small fountain in the middle of the driveway central in front of the house and with small palm trees leading up towards the house.
The moving truck was leaving as we arrived, we honked our horns and waved as we passed each other. I pull up outside the house putting the car in park, grab all I need out of the car and climb out to look at my new home as well as the surroundings. “Wow” is all I can say I’m totally lost for words. If the outside looks like this, I cannot wait to see out back and the interior design inside. Walking up the steps to the open door, I catch my breath looking round the main hall. This house is unbelievable. The big open plan kitchen diner to the left, the family room to the right with an office to the side, a marble staircase that leads upstairs and down the hallway I can see the backyard so, I head in that direction. Stepping outside it looks so beautiful in the lights lighting it up softly. The first thing that catches my eyes is the pool, I can’t believe we have a pool. The closest thing to a pool we had in North Carolina was a swimming hole on the neighbor’s property. Off to the side, I spotted the garden furniture thinking it would be nice sitting out here in the morning with some breakfast and enjoying the Californian sun. Walking back into the house I see all our boxes stacked up in every room and see our couch in the main room. Good job dad hired people to help us unpack otherwise this would take us forever to do. “I’m gonna head on upstairs to find my room and call it a night dad I’m pretty tired.” As I ascend the stairs. I hear dad call out “I’m not far behind you sweetpea just locking up down here.” Finding my room on the first floor I see that my bed is already built, and my boxes scattered around the open space. Putting down my things I brought in from the car I start to open some of the boxes to find what I need. I take a quick shower in my en suite bathroom, once I’m dried after my shower, I get dressed into a purple tank top and green shorts, I climb into bed setting an alarm and texting my friends that I was in Santa Monica safely. I snuggled into the sheets and was out like a light. BEEP BEEP BEEP my alarm wakes me up at six thirty, ready to start my first day at my new school. Today I am starting Santa Monica High, Go Vikings. I climb out of bed and find my best jeans that show off my curves, my cute butterfly halter neck top, my lucky boots, and matching jewelry. Descending the stairs, I can smell eggs and bacon with fresh coffee, and I know that dad is awake. I’m also grateful knowing that he hasn’t burned the food like he has done in the past. I head into the kitchen to make myself some coffee. Grabbing a mug from the open box of mugs “morning daddy did you sleep well?” I ask as I pour my drink from the coffee machine. “Morning baby girl I slept well thank you it was much needed “ he wraps his arm around me and gives me a gentle squeeze. Taking a sip of my coffee I start to plate up my breakfast nodding in agreement “yes dad very much.” I take a bite out of my bacon “it was a great night’s sleep after driving to the other side of the country.” Finishing off my breakfast I quickly rinse my mug, plate and utensils then put them into the dishwasher. Walking over to dad who is sat at the kitchen bar reading the morning newspaper I kiss his cheek “I’m off to school now dad I’ll see you after” and I head for the door, picking up my school stuff, get to my car, drive down the driveway and once I’m out the gates I drive off to school.Hi everyone thank you so much for reading the start of A Little Cinderella Moment. More juicy stuff is to come and soon you will meet the guy who catches Savannah's attention. You do not want to miss it. Please feel free to make any comments on what you think of it so far and how you think I should improve. I would love to hear from you.
Driving down the street heading towards the school I make a couple of wrong turns before arriving in the school parking lot. With making them wrong turns it made me later than I had liked, especially on my first day. Climbing out of my car once I found a parking space, I grab my school bag from the back seat then lock the car, and head towards the main building.Walking through the main doors I look around at my new school and try to find my way to the school office to get my transcript, class schedule, and books. The office was an easy find thankfully. After getting my class schedule I am asked to sit and wait to speak with the school principal to discuss my transcripts.Ten minutes after talking with the principal I was dismissed to collect all my books and to go to find my locker. With my books in hand and a piece of paper with my locker number and combination written on it, I go searching.Finding my locker, I put the books I don’t need for my first two periods. Keeping hold of my
I leave English and head towards History. Going down hallway after hallway I go up a flight of stairs to find my class. History class was easier to find than English, surprisingly. Handing the teacher my tran slip and then I take the first available seat.As I get my books out, I hear that sexy deep voice from earlier “excuse me but um… you’re in my seat.” I look up to see them green eyes and my heart starts to flutter uncontrollably.“Oh, is there assigned seating in this class or something?” I asked him feeling a little nervous with him being this close to me. He chuckles at me rubbing his bottom lip with his index finger trying to seduce me with his charm and I must say it is kind of working. Oh how I hate myself for this feeling he is making me feel.“No there isn’t but everyone knows this is my seat. This is where I sit with the boys” he points at the desks around me noticing their all guys probably football players with their build occupying them. I start to feel even more uncom
We walked out of class together “What class do you have next?” Jen asked once we got out of the classroom. “Um...” I look at my class schedule “I’ve got Earth Science next.” “Perfect I’ve got that too is it with Miss. Dawson?” she asks, and I look back at my schedule and nod looking at the name of the teacher. “Even better we can go together,” Jen says as she links her arm through mine and leads us to our lockers before heading to class. We talk all the way to our lockers to grab our books and talk all the way to class. If we didn’t know any better, you could say we’ve been friends our entire lives. We got to class and sat together to only hear the voices from the hall before first period and now I know the names to go with the voices coming from behind us. “I can’t believe your sister is befriending the new girl” I heard what Candace was saying so me and Jen looked at each other and Jen rolls her eyes.“Candace just leave them alone it’s up to Jen who she hangs out with you know
We found Jen sitting at a table near the fountain in the school quad. Jen notices me and Selena and she waves us over. When we get to the table and put our trays down Chase came over to us “Hello ladies” and he smiles at all of us, but I noticed he looked at me a little bit longer than the other girls. Jen rolls her eyes “What do you want ass hat.” Chase then shushes his sister “Not in front of company but anyway, mom wants us home straight after school today for some dinner party tonight.” Hearing what Chase just said I choke on my drink “I know you dick wad, Mom told me before I left this morning you were too busy with that bitch of yours Candace.” Jen snaps back at him and she rolls her eyes at him again that’s twice in the matter of minutes and Chase glares back at his sister. “Jen you can be a real bitch some days yourself, anyway you’ve never given her a chance” Just as Chase finished his discussion with his sister Candace comes waltzing over kissing him on the lips as J
I met up with Jen and Selena at the end of the day. We arranged to meet up just outside the school entrance by the time I got there both Jen and Selena were waiting and to my surprise, Chase was there too. Chase was talking to Jen about something I can’t hear what he is saying as I’m not close enough. As I approached them, he winked at me acknowledging my arrival, and took his leave. Watching him walk away my eyes never leaving him I ask Jen “He didn’t leave because of me, did he?” She looks at her departing brother walking further away. “Oh no he just came to tell me to tell my mom he’s got an emergency football practice, so he’ll be home later.” I feel relieved and disappointed that he’s gone these feelings are so confusing I have never had them over a guy before and I’m intrigued to find out what they mean. I bite my bottom lip watching Chase disappear from our sight and the girls notice what I’m doing. “You like him, don’t you?” Jen questions I go crimson feeling put on the
Wait a minute how did he know about my music? “Of course, sir I’m sure I can arrange something for tonight.” “That’s my daughter for you Stuart she lives for her music, she couldn’t put a guitar down since the age of three." He walks out of his office and stands by his boss oh, great trust my dad to embarrass me now. “Is there a particular song you would like to hear Mr. Lockwood?” Dad's boss thinks for a quick second “Could you play ‘Stand by Me’ by Ben E. King that’s my wife and I’s wedding song.” “Certainly, sir that was the first song I ever learned how to play it would be an honor.” “Let’s keep it between us three for now I would love to surprise my wife with it,” Dad comes and stands next to me and squeezes me into his side. “Yes, sir not a word until tonight.” Dad shakes his boss’ hand “Until tonight, Maxwell.” “Yes, we’re looking forward to it” and then Mr. Lockwood left our house. Sitting down and talking to my dad at the kitchen counter for half an hour abo
Chase P.O.V The emergency practice coach called for after school today turned out to be a restoration, where we had to watch tapes and run some drills for a couple of new plays coach thought of. Practice overran by forty-five minutes thanks to a couple of fuckers on defense were fucking about. Today is not the day for all this shit. Candace almost getting on my last nerve being so possessive today for no reason and with this emergency practice and now it’s overrunning. Come on man! I have somewhere I have to be, or my mom will kill me. After practice I opt out of having a shower in the locker room, I’ll have it at home it’ll be quicker. Jumping in my car I speed off home so I can get ready for this dinner party my parents insisted on having. I have arrived home with not much time to spare but I’ll be ready when I gotta be. Pulling into the double garage my dad got built for Jen and me for when we passed our driver’s tests. I beat her by four points but who’s counting? Parking my
Savannah P.O.V I stand in front of Chase and Jen in total shock. Chase's eyes look three times bigger than they normally are. “You!” “Nice to see you again Chase I hope your practice wasn’t so much of a bother for you with our visit tonight,” I offer him my hand to shake. He clears his throat and takes my hand, raising it to his lips kissing the back of my hand softly making my cheeks feel warm and the butterflies start flapping uncontrollably around in my stomach. “Your presence here tonight has made up for how my practice went and may I say, you look absolutely beautiful tonight I love that color green on you.” I smile at him for his compliment now realizing where the green looks familiar. His eyes. “Thank you, Chase, that’s very sweet of you,” He doesn’t let go of my hand straight away he just stands there and looks at me. Mr. Lockwood clears his throat as Dad stares at Chase feeling all eyes are on us Chase lets go of my hand as I go and hug Jen. “I take it you guys h
