Chasing Away The Rain 2

1. Exotic Red

...Continued...

When I got out of the shower I skipped to my room to put on soem flannel pajamas and a lime green t-shirt that said Peace.<3. I heard the door open down stairs and took a deep breath to go see my aunt Summer. I skipped down stairs (I skip alot okay!) to see my aunt smiling at me pleasantly at me with three tiny blue boxes with yellow ribbons. She hadn't seemed to have aged at all since I last saw her.

"Scarlett! Come here darling and give me a hug!" she cried after she set down the boxes and opened her arms wide. I ran to her and she practically strangled me.

"Hey aunt Summer." i smiled at her in my usual shy manner. Her eyes glanced around the room, I knew she was expecting my mother.

"She left, I guess she had to get to the airport fast." I mumbled as an excuse for my mothers distance.

"Oh, she probably had to get to France fast." Summer said in a way to convince herself more than me.

Suddenly the door opened and I saw a tall slim figure with exotic red long hair, she was carrying a big box with another smaller one stacked upon it.

"Oh Scarlett, I want you to meet Roxanna! She works down at the chocolate shop for me, she is absolutely wonderful!" Summer exclaimed. The girl looked at me, she had big almond shaped chocolate colored eyes and fare skin. She was beautiful...

The girl smiled at me "Hello Scarlett, you can call me Roxy." and she kissed me on the cheek while still managing to hold the boxes.

"Oh Roxanna let me help you with that." Summer said and grabbed the top box and brought it into the kitchen as did Roxy. I followed them in wondering what all the boxes were full of.

"Hey do you guys need help with anything?" I asked them as they set all the boxes on the counters. Summer's kitchen was mahognay wood all over.

"Oh sure honey, we have all these boxes of the new shippment of ingredients and we just have to get it all organised in here." Summer told me as she cut a box open with a knife. Suddenly the phone started ringing and Summer went to answer it. A minute later she came back.

"Oh I am so sorry can you two do this? I have to run down to the shop they are having some problems." Summer truly looked sorry, I didn't mind.

"Not at all right Scarlett? We can talk and stuff." Roxy said excitedly.I nodded.

After Summer left Roxy started talking to me non stop. It was nice though, not like other girls who talked all the time about things that weren't really interesting. Roxy was very interesting. She was making me laugh and all. She was like an angel. Her hair was such a deep red, and it came in wavy curls all the way to her elbows in length.

"So first day of high school tommorow? Aren't you excited?" She asked me. I smirked at her.

"Well kind of yeah, but I am also nervous...are you going to be in freshman year?"

"Yeah actually it's going to be my first day at high school too, but I know some of the people because of my older sisters and brother." She told me.

"Oh well yeah I am kind of nervous you know?" I told her.

"Well people will love you and most of these people are new, we kight have some classes together!" she said.

"Yeah that would be cool. So you work at at Summer's chocolate shop huh?" I asked her. I was quite curious about the shop I had heard so much about.

"Yes, your aunt is wonderful really, you see it's kind of an intern for me...I want to own a coffee shop and run it when I graduate college and I have been learning from her. She is awesome, she has all these teenagers work for her and they all love her. Of course most of them don't even work for money." Roxy explained.

Wow...It seemed kind of cool, I would probably ask Summer if she mided if I worked around the shop.

"That sounds so cool...plus I love chocolate and all!" I said and Roxy laughed.

"Hey do want me to give you a ride to school being the your new to town and all?"

"Oh that'd be great thanks." I told her.

So we talked and laughed until Summer came home and Roxy left. She was so cool...

I couldn't wait to go to The Muse Academy Highschool now.
