chap. 1 I never know what to name my stories so I apologize in advance First chap: You're here Next chap: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/811396345 ___________________________________________ I open the car door and step foot onto the new front yard that will now be mine. The grass is so green, you can definitely tell the owner takes care of it. The lady who drove me over here --I think her name is Marcela-- comes out the car. I look back at her and close the car door. "Hey, no, no, no." Says Mercela. I turn around and I see her right by my side, opening the car door I just closed. "What are you-?" Before I can finish my sentence, she grabs my bag which holds my belongings (To be honest, books mostly). "Oh," I say quietly. "I forgot I'm actually staying here, and not just looking around." She smiles gently. "Yeah. But you should be happy. You finally have a home!" 'It's not my home' I think. I manage to force a smile. "Yeah.. I guess so." "Besides, there was nowhere else you could go." She walks to the porch. I follow her, and stand next to her. Before she knocks on the door, I ask, "Do you think they're going to like me?" She makes a confused face. "Well, of course! Why wouldn't they? Look at you, you're smart, clever, and very kind." "That's why, Mar. I'm the exact definition of 'nerd'. I had friends back at old home. I don't see them here now. What if it's like the first house I was in all over again? I can't bear anymore insults." I sigh, and blink fast to avoid tears coming out of my eyes. She knocks on the door, and at an instant, it breaks open. "Ohh.. is this the new girl?" The woman asks. I look at Marcela. "Yes, this is her." She pushes me forward and hands me my bag. I give her a hug. "Bye, Mar." "Goodbye." I walk into the house, and I realize it might be better here than I thought.
