Chapter 1
“I can’t believe we’re not going to see each other every day anymore!” Quinn looked at Tanya with pouty lips, her signature look. Tanya had always been jealous of her best friend’s dark hair and plump lips; the total opposite of her.
“I know, Quinn, but at least we’ll be going to the same college right? You are still applying for CCA, right?” CCA was the college the both of them had been looking at since freshman year. It was an arts school in San Francisco where Quinn planned to study art and animation while Tanya focused on fashion design.
“But of course, Tanya! No way would I give up on that. I’ve just gotta keep my grades up!”
Tanya looked at her friend and laughed before pulling out a box and passing it to Quinn and then taking a piece of luggage for herself. Tanya’s absentee father had paid for a plane ticket for Quinn to fly down and say goodbye and help Tanya unpack. Her parents had been divorced for about a year now, and her mother had met a guy online and then decided to remarry. Now, here they were unpacking in a one story, single family home in Nowhere, Ohio because he didn’t want to uproot his son during his last year of high school. What about Tanya? It was her last year of high school too.
“Well, I guess we’ll have to Skype so I can tutor you,” Tanya offered while unzipping her suitcase. Inside was an assortment of black and purple clothes made of chains and mesh and everything not so nice. Living in Portland had been easy. Everyone there was weird and unique. In fact, uniqueness was encouraged and celebrated. Tanya frowned, having a feeling that in the land of white picket fences and bottle blondes she wasn’t going to have an easy time making new friends. Especially, since senior year had already begun.
She watched Quinn go place her favorite lamp on the nightstand. It was a goth mermaid holding up the lamp, and she used a black light for the bulb. It had been a present from her boyfriend; one she had promised herself she would keep even though they were thousands of miles away from each other.
“Burr, it’s effing cold in here!” Quinn said suddenly as she pulled out Tanya’s Nightmare Before Christmas bedding and placed in on the bed. “Aren’t you a little old for this?” Quinn asked. There was no teasing in her voice. It was the same thing her mom had chided her about while packing.
“You can never be too old for Tim Burton, Quinn.” Tanya scowled at her friend and went to place all her clothes into the closet. She had gotten them all onto their hangers. The one good thing about this house was the walk-in closet in her bedroom. She had way too many clothes to fit them all in her little black dresser. It also helped that she had her own bathroom, but she wasn’t about to admit appreciating anything. All she had to do was get though less than a year and she’d be off to California.
Tanya passed by the window on her way back to pick out another box to unpack. They still had four or five to get through and then her mom expected them to help in the other rooms. She peeked outside and saw flurries coming down as the sun disappeared from view. There was already a thin blanket of white on the ground. “Can you believe it’s snowing and it’s barely November? We lived way farther north than this and it still barely snowed on Christmas most of the time. No wonder it’s freezing,” Tanya complained before tugging out a large box from by the bed and falling flat on her ass with a huge thud.
To her horror that’s when she heard a deep male voice coming from the doorway. “Which one of you is my new sis; the one that just fell on her ass or the other one?” Blowing a stray strand of wavy naturally bleach blonde hair, Tanya slowly turned around to look at the boy that must be her new step brother. What she saw wasn’t something she expected at all.
He had curly dark hair that was messy in just the right way, and his baby blue eyes sparkled in
