A new beginning.


It could not get any worse. First, I had just realised that the person who I had been crushing on for ages was crushing on me, also. Then the next thing you know you are being told that you have to move and then you are being shoved onto a boat to your grandfather’s farm. Not that I don’t love my grandfather to pieces, it’s just… I just had found out that my crush liked me, and I could not even stay for a day to go out with him or tell him where I was going at least. That was something else, I just disappeared, and no one would know where I had gone, as I had no time to tell anybody at all. One-minute life was great and then the next… it was not.

I was moving to a place named Mineral town, on the boat I read a brochure there, it explained Mineral town as “a fairly quiet, shy and small place”. Brilliant. I hate it when places are quiet and small. How can I place be shy? It does not make any sense at all, does it? I was not looking forward to getting into Mineral town; I am going to have to stay in a farm with my mum, big brother and my grandfather. This will not be very much fun. My mother did not have the same opinion as me, however. She was all “Yay! We get to look after a farm!” Something else I am not looking forward to doing, I do not like farms. In addition, apparently, it is full of farms, so all of the boys there will probably all talk with straw hanging out of their mouth or something.

My big brother was not very excited either, although he did not have a girlfriend. He said that everyone there would be boring and probably hate the kind of stuff, which he likes. I do rather agree with him. He quite likes ‘chavvy’ stuff. Like 50 cent and Dizzee Rascal. I suppose that I like that kind of music as well, but Mark is kind of a chav. In addition, he was quite popular and used to living in a big place. However, in Mineral town, even the school is small. Like, it is a town school, so there is probably like eight people there or something all together.

Just as we were getting off the boat my cell went off, I looked at it and frowned, it said that Billy was calling, probably asking where I was, I was supposed to meet up with him today, but I couldn’t answer. I could not face him today; I will answer him if he calls again later or tomorrow. Just as we stepped onto the beach a fairly small man came running up to us, I raised my eyebrow at Mark who smiled at me. We both sighed in unison and my mother looked at us and gave us a look that told us both to be quiet. The man introduced himself as Thomas, gave us a quick tour of the town and then took us back to my new house. When I walked in my jaw dropped, the place was tiny. There were only two bedrooms and one bathroom. Downstairs everything else was in one room. Outside was just as bad, there were fields everywhere and animals scattered around in their own little compartments. Oh, I could not wait for school on Monday.
