Just a Normal Life

Chapter 1

Cammie POV

Again. It's happening again. We are moving...again! This is so frustrating! We have moved three times in the last year! My mother, however, is unable to comprehend this information! Why are we moving?! Because my mother has got yet another new and apparently better job! As headmistress of the school I will be attending! Does she see this as embarrassing? No! Not whatsoever. Apparently, it's called 'The Gallagher Academy for exceptional Young Women' of course that sounds like so much fun right? No of course it doesn't, not at all. I love living here in New York. Ok I may not be the most popular person, but I have some friends, I mean I'm not a complete loner.

Oh sorry! I forgot to introduce myself. Hi I'm Cammie Morgan. My full name is Cameron Ann Morgan, teachers call me Cameron, or friends if they are mad are me. I'm 17 in my senior year at high school. I am known as the Chameleon as I have the ability to disappear at the drop of a hat, without anyone finding me. Even my mother can't find me when I don't want to be seen. In other words 'I am not seen, when I do not want to be seen'. I'm just your average girl, not fat not skinny sea blue eyes and mid length straight dirty blonde hair. I'm quite clever but only because I work hard. Um my dad died in a car crash when I was six. My mum and I were devastated. I miss him so much and I think that's why I hate moving because I grew up with my dad here and made all my memories with him here. As I was saying before, at the moment I live in a huge apartment in New York. But unfortunately we are moving, to a small town in Virginia. When I say small, I mean it took me a long time to find this on Google maps it's so small and I'm an A* geography student (not to brag), does not know a place like this even existed. As I was saying I am moving and am not happy about it. All my friends are here in New York (not that I have many but I have some!) I know I'll miss them loads and they were really upset when I told them I was moving, but life goes on. I just hope I make more, new and better friends. Hopefully.

"Cam! Cammie! We're leaving now kiddo" shouts mum up the stairs

"Ok coming now!" I shout back

I take one last look at my room which was home for 3 months. I then turn and walk out our apartment, locking the door as I go.

It's 3pm when we reach Virginia or more specifically Roseville, the town which I will now have to call home. I loved our new house though it was way bigger than our apartment in New York however it wasn't huge because of course my mum was a single mom and had no-one to support her financially. I helped out if we were desperate by babysitting or doing paper-rounds etc but my mum was very stubborn and didn't like me to help and this new job paid her really well! My room was painted light blue with big letters saying CAMMIE on the door. Me and mum unloaded the boxes from our car that contained all the necessities as all the furniture was being delivered tomorrow.

'Kiddo I'm gonna order some pizza is margarita okay?'

'Yep sound good to me' I replied while bringing in the last box. After mum had ordered the pizza she told me she had a surprise for me in the garage. I followed her nervously wondering what it could be

'Cover your eyes Cam,' said mum and I did as I was told 'okay now open!' and sitting before us was a light blue convertible. I stood mouth open gazing at it hoping this car was mine. 'Yes it's your if you're wondering'

'YES! Mum you're the best ever!

'I try' she replied coolly and you can drive it to school tomorrow morning!'

'Yay' I replied half with real enthusiasm that I could drive this car that I've wanted forever and half with fake enthusiasm that I had to go to school tomorrow the day after we moved house.

DING DONG!

'That'll be the pizza!' said mum rushing to get her purse and answering the door. After we had eaten the pizza it was time for bed

'Night mum!' I called down the hall

'Night kiddo love you' she called back

'Love you too' I answered

I collapsed onto my make shift bed for the night and fell into a deep slumber.

(Insert Break Line)

I woke up to mum calling that it was time for me to get up, get ready and go to school. Yay. Note the sarcasm. I am the worst person to wake up in the mornings so it took my mum at least three tries to wake me up. When I finally got up I began to get dressed. Now I'm not the best person with clothing but today it looked sunny so I put on dark washed skinny jeans with a white lacy top and some brown ankle boots, not bothering to put on makeup and leaving my hair natural flowing down my back. I walked down stairs made some toast (my mum had burned the others she tried to make), said bye to mum hopped in my car and drove to school. I had told mum I didn't want people to know I was the headmistress' daughter on the first day and she'd agreed so she would leave a little after me.

I pulled into the school parking lot and everyone was staring at me. I mean everyone. Literally as soon as they saw a new car coming into the parking lot they all like stopped talking and watched to see who would appear. Unfortunately that person would be me. So I pulled into a parking space, turned off the engine and steeped out into the parking lot of my new school.
