The Laurier family had been living in their house in Canada for the past 5 years. They spent 10 years in their first house, so this makes it the second time they were moving out of their residence.
Evie cared very little about whatever place they chose to stay because it really didn't change anything or make a difference. The same thing repeats itself over and over again. People find a reason to hate her, cause trouble for her and then she ends it with a fight which leaves a permanent tag on her.
As long as she could remember, she never had too many friends but the ones she had were boys. She once had a best friend too but she was only a little kid then. They were friends for 9 years being almost their entire stay at their last house. They were best friends from birth because both their mothers were best friends. He was only a few months older. At age 9, his family had to move out of the country which left the two kids crying their hearts out. A year later, her family also moved to live in Canada.
Now, she had friends in the popular category because that was also where she fell. Evie being tagged the hottest girl in school didn't move her a bit which made people totally forget that she indeed was one. The second in line takes the glory and that's the way it's always been.
Her boyish nature which left serious hate for skirts, gown and make over left more than enough impression on how carefree she was about stupid beauty or hotness contest.
This earned her respect from a lot of people, especially guys.
*Back to the present*
"Evie, get up. Go take a quick shower now. We're leaving in 30 to 45 minutes from now." Annah said shaking the girl who seemed to have slept for just not enough time.
"Fine, fine, I'm going now." she said lazily pulling herself off the bed.
In about 45 minutes, the members of the Laurier family were headed for the taxi that waited outside the house to drop them off at the airport.
"You really did mean it when you said you don't need me to drive you to the airport." The neighbor Mr. Hank said as he spoke with Felix who was the only one left to board the vehicle.
"It's enough trouble coming out by this time to see us off. We really don't want to burden you. We'll definitely make a call when we arrive at our destination." Felix replied shaking hands with him.
However, his wife was on one side of the taxi, talking to Annah.
"I really am going to miss you Annah. All those cookies and cupcakes you share."
'Do you miss, the lady or her cookies and cupcakes?' Evie said to herself.
"Oh, I really love it here also. I'll really miss you too. Please send my regards to the kids, okay?" Annah replied smiling ever so sincerely.
"Yes, love. I'll do just that."
After that, they parted ways and it was off to the airport for the Laurier family
