"Skye can you bring me the last box from the truck please?" I nod and hop down from the stool of the breakfast bar passing my papa putting the boxes of kitchen supplies down and head out to the truck then back to the trailer we rented. Walking up the ramp I grab the last box struggling a little since it's heavy and head into the house. "Where do you want this papa?" He looks up and motions to the living room. "Set it on the couch please." I nod and do as said putting the box down on the couch with a sigh. We just got to our new house and haven't even got our things set up yet. The only thing set up are the living room furniture and beds upstairs but that's because the house came with it. I head back into the kitchen watching my papa go over the boxes before he stops with a sigh. "We better get something to eat and call it a night. You start school first thing tomorrow." I immediately frown. "But I don't even have any clothes out." He gives me a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about it they sent over some uniforms for you to wear." I pout a little but nod. He gently pats my head before nudging me. "Why don't we go out to eat tonight? I'm sure we can find a place." I give him a tiny smile. "Sure." He smiles and grabs his keys before we head to the truck locking up the house behind us. We then hop in the truck and look around for a restaurant finding a small place. My papa parks the truck and we get out heading inside the place not that packed. A kind woman with pretty green hair comes over to us with a kind smile. "Annyeong! Table for two?" My papa nods smiling. "Yes please." She nods and leads us over to a table then hands us some menu's. "Can I get you two started with a drink?" My papa orders a water and orders me a Coke the woman writing it down before going to get it. I quietly look through the menu shifting occasionally and I can feel my papa's eyes on me. "Are you nervous about school tomorrow?" I look up at him and bite my lip nodding then murmur quietly. "I'm afraid no one will like me." His expression softens. "Oh sweetie. I'm sure they'll love you. And not due to your powers either I'm sure they'll like you for being yourself." I sigh at the reminder of my powers. I'm a siren just like my dad was so my looks and sometimes my voice tend to draw unwanted attention from people. It's not as bad as Veela's but it's still annoying not knowing whether or not your being approached because of your powers or if someone genuinely wants to know you. Letting out a sigh I fidget with my fingers anxiously until the woman comes back with our drinks and asks if we're ready to order. My papa nods and tells our orders to her and she gives a friendly smile before going to the back. Just as she heads to the back the front door to the restaurant opens and a boy my age with hot pink hair enters. Looking at him curiously our eyes meet and I quickly lower my head but not before seeing surprise flash through his eyes. My papa gently nudges me encouragingly. "Go talk to him. Maybe you'll make a friend." I look at him like he's insane and he just gives me an encouraging smile. Sighing I get up and head over to the boy reluctantly peeking up he giving me a friendly smile. "Hi! I'm Cedar! You must be new right?" Surprised by the Irish accent I give a little shy nod and shift nervously. "Um yeah. I'm Skye." He smiles kindly at me. "Nice to meet you Skye where'd you move from?" I rub the back of my neck anxiously. "We just moved from Greece." He gives me a surprised look. "Wow I would have never guessed. Your Korean is so good and natural." My lips twitch up into a little smile and Cedar bounces on his heels a little. "So are you going to the school here?" I nod and he looks excited. "Cool! I hope you don't mind but what are you? I'm a nymph." I hesitate before answering softly. "I'm a siren." I see his smile deflate for a second before it goes back to normal. "Oh cool. Um I'll leave you to your food but I'll see you at school tomorrow." Before I can say anything he runs off towards the back and I sigh heading back to my seat. My papa gives me a curious look and I mumble crossing my arms over my chest. "He was nice until he heard siren then his smile faded and he ran away." My papa gives me a sad sympathetic look. "I'm sure you'll make other friends." I shrug and soon the nice pretty woman comes back with our food and tells us to enjoy with a bright smile before leaving. We immediately dig in eating silently until we're finished and my papa pays before we leave and head back to our house where I get ready for bed and climb onto the mattress before slowly falling asleep.
