We're meeting the realtor to let us in, show us around and then the movers will be here tomorrow. We'll settle in with cots and sleeping bags. I want to sleep here tonight and get us all used to the place rather than just go off to a hotel.”<br/><br/>He did<em>not</em>want to be here. He had not chosen to move away from the house he grew up in, from all of his friends and everything he knew. So far he hated his parents' plans, especially his mother seemed intend on starting up in a new place.<br/><br/>If there was any tension between his parents, then it was completely lost on David. He noticed that his parents didn't talk as much, and occasionally had an argument, but most of it passed by him unnoticed. He often sat with his headset in his room in front of the TV, as he played one video game or another. He would come out for dinner, but after that he'd go straight back to his room. If he wasn't playing some game, then he would be listening to music or something else that blocked out the background noise.<br/><br/>Now he had to redecorate his new room, in a new house and in a new city. The very thought of not being around anything familiar frightened him. He hated this idea and he hated this new house, however, he couldn't go back home either.<br/><br/>A sigh escaped from David's lips, as he turned off his PSP.<br/><br/><em>“I might as well find out what all the fuzz is about,”</em>he thought, as he climbed out of the van.<br/><br/>His sister Jessica and his parents seemed to handle this change so much better. It was a mystery to David how they could adjust so well to the idea of changing their life so dramatically.<br/><br/>He saw the house for the very first time as he looked up. David couldn't help but gulp. It was a lot bigger than he had thought it would be. A little bit of doubt started to seep into his mind, perhaps the house wouldn't be as bad as he thought. It seemed like an improvement over their former home.<br/><br/>One of his worries had been that he'd get the short end of the stick and end up with a very small room, but judging this house it seemed like that would be one concern less. The yard was also a lot bigger and there might even be a swimming pool in the back. Or perhaps he could somehow convince his parents to get a swimming pool. That would be nice to have in the summer.<br/><br/>There was, however, something odd about the house. David's imagination worked overtime, but he couldn't lay his finger on it. If anything, the house was definitely one of the past and probably had a rich history. That thought triggered other ideas and David soon found himself daydreaming about the past occupants and all the people who had owned it before them. It felt weird to live in a house that belonged to others, but then again, his parents had bought it, so now it belonged to them. He had to give this more thought before he could make up his mind about whether or not this was a good thing.
