1 Chapter 1

Hi!! I am Kennedy Mills and I am 17 years old. It was last winter when I saw my dad Henry Mills at last before I moved with my mom Olivia Mills to the new town named Springwoods.

*******

Obviously, this means I am a new girl in town and everyone's eyes are on me as the photo frames in the haunted house.

It was when my mom parked her Dodge and threw me out in this unknown town to look around and have fun. I knew no-one so I roamed around all alone like an idiot finding his or her way.

Walking slowly I bumped into a girl with red hair and applied her coffee in her white sweater."I am so sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me."I begged her with my hands whipping her sweater and rubbing her soft boobs.

"Don't worry, I really don't like this sweater anyway," she said giving me small smile from the corner of her lips. " Are you Kennedy Mills, the new girl??" she said looking into my dazzling blue eyes.

With a shocking expression I answered her " Yeah, How do you know me?? Are you a stalker??? And what's your name???" and many other questions popped up to mind and made me almost cry in the middle of nowhere.

"Sorry I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ivy Caroline and 17 years old, also I am your neighbor, not a stalker. Sorry if I scared you, Kennedy. I think you know no one here wants me to walk you, homegirl." Ivy said holding my hand.

I thanked her and felt assured.

While walking home the two of us talked about each other's lives and the school I am gonna enter tomorrow. We basically had many things in common and I felt like I was just lucky to have her around to tag alone. I felt like we were almost like best friends but I don't know about her feelings.

Saying goodbyes. I entered the house with white paint and expecting mom to be inside. It was a house with two floors and the red carpet that run all around the house made me look like a celebrity.

While moving upstairs I told my mom about Ivy and she smiled at me saying that this place is not so bad at all. I took the last room to the right which was the perfect one for me.

After a few hours of arranging, I went downstairs to get some cold water to reduce my thirst when I saw my mom crying holding dad's photo. I went closer and closer to her and hugged so tightly to make her feel better and to tell her that she was not alone and I love her a lot. ' The sun goes down and the moon rises.....' it was the heading of the poem when I heard my phone buzz playing my favorite ringing tone.

It was Ivy, I asked her number earlier when we met and also when I fucked up by spilling her coffee.

"Are you ready for tomorrow🙌🙌🙌." -I

"Tomorrow !! what about tomorrow? Is there something special going on here😝😝😝" -K

"No girl you are coming with me to go to school." -I

" °=° No way I am not going. I am kind of the unfamous or the shy girl from the last school so what difference will it make😞😞😞." - K

"Hey STOP!!!! you bitch is making me cry. Anyway, you are going and that's final. GOOD NIGHT 💗💗." - love Ivy

"You too GN...." - love Kennedy

After texting her for a few minutes I went back to sleep cuddling my pillow and my warm blanket hoping to have a good night dream.

"Good morning" my mom kissed my forehead and tapped me to wake up. Stretching my body and clenching my teeth I woke up from the bed and went to the bathroom first to pee and then to have a warm shower.

Rubbing my wet blond hair up and down with the purple designed towel I wore my blue ripped jeans and the blank long-sleeved hoodie. I went downstairs yelling out for mom when I saw Ivy already having breakfast at the wooden table near the kitchen fridge.

"Cereal again!!!!" I shouted and smirked from the side of the lips. I am a person who usually does not have cereal for breakfast since it was been hard for us later after dad left, we started this cereal routine.

While having our breakfast, mom asked questions about her family and Ivy asked about us. While looking at her I knew she must have felt really sad and felt sorry for us. It was when I snapped her out of those feelings.

I looked at the clock on top of our Sony TV. It was still 6:30 and Ivy was so early. Before it was 7:00 we left home heading to school. I was quite nervous and I felt few droplets of sweat run through my wavy hair into the back. Ivy held my hand to make me feel calm and she looked at me with her greenish-grey eyes and intended not to be scared and that I was not alone.

It was when I knew that we were best friends now😊😊😊. Feeling kind of calm and cooled down, we both got on her orange pumpkin looking car and drove to school.
