Early Sunsets Over Belleville
Look Alive Sunshine!
My phone alarm blared, five thirty already! I moaned I wish I could get like five more minutes of sleep. But, I have to get up, today is the big day as corny and stupid as that sounds. I forced myself out of the uncomfortable hotel bed and hopped into the shower.
I dried my blue and black hair with my grungy old hotel towel; I had gotten rid of most of my things when the judge told me I would be sent to live with my aunt and uncle. I only kept my clothing and valuable items, such as the bracelet my mother gave me before she left me.
I opened the hotel drapes, sat back on my bed and watched the sun rise. I was happy to leave my town; I never liked growing up here. You know what they say about small towns; everyone knows what you’ve done before you have done it.
I continued getting ready for my flight to Belleville. I had already packed my bags; all I had to do was get dressed, get in the cab and hop on my plane. Everything was perfectly organized thanks to the judge. I put on my tight blue skinny jeans and my Dead Kennedys shirt. I put on just a little bit of makeup; I didn’t want to seem like an emo when I met the Toro’s.
I glanced at the clock. Six thirty, it read. I picked up my lightest bag and lugged it down the stairs into the lobby. “Need any help with that?” I heard the rough voice of the middle aged hotel keeper, Winston. “I’ll be fine.” I smiled at him. “No, you won’t” he laughed “I’ll get your other bag.”
Winston plunked my bag next to the others, “Is that all?” He asked touching my shoulder
“Thank you.” I smiled. “Yeah, I’ve gotta grab my carryon bag. But I can get that myself.” I strolled up the stairs. When I reached my hotel room I checked to make sure I had everything. I grabbed my bright red carry on back and walked back down the stairs.
“Here are the keys.” I said reaching deep into my pocket. I plunked the keys on the lobby desk. “Are you going to miss it here?” Winston asked me. “Yeah, I guess so.” I lied biting my cheek. I always do that when I lie. I glanced up at the window, just in time to see a yellow cab roll up to the curb. I say my final awkward goodbye to Winston and head to the cab. The cab driver helps me load up my bags and I climb into the back of the car.
RAYS POV (Just for a quick paragraph) >.<
Today was the day that I was going to meet my cousin Lucy again. It’s been ages since I’ve last seen her. I think we were three when we last met, but that was thirteen years ago. Were both sixteen now. My mother tells me that she’s had a tough life where she’s from. I think sometime before school starts up, I’ll introduce her to Mikey, Gerard, and Frank. They’ll like her.
LUCYS POV
The plane lifted off around eight o’clock. I was quite scared I have to admit, although this was my first airplane ride. When the plane was gliding through the air it wasn’t so bad, it was just the lift off that scared me.
About two hours later the plane touched the ground and we were allowed to get off the plane. I stepped off the airplane and searched around the vacant airport. Hardly anyone was here. That’s odd... I frowned. After five minutes of searching, I felt a tap on the back. I spun around to see a familiar boy with an afro looking at me. “Ray?” I questioned him feeling unsure of myself. “Lucy?” He smiled. “I haven’t seen you in years.”
Ray led me too his parents, they greeted me and they seemed nice enough. They seemed like they wanted me to stay with them, and for once I felt like I belonged in a family. Even though I’ve only been with them for fifteen minutes. Aunt Lillian showed me the house and where I would be staying. I really liked it here! Ray says he’ll show me around tomorrow! It should be fun!
