November's POV

"We are here!" mom says happily.

Oct and I sigh as she pulls the driveway of our new house. The house isn't that bad honestly. Its about the size of our old house. There are four bedrooms, and mom says its amazing on the inside.

Oct and I get out of the back seat and go back to the trunk. Dash hops out of the back seat too, and walks behind us. We pull out our suitcases just as the moving truck pulls up in front of the house. Mom walks up to the movers and talks to them.

"Go look at your rooms girls." she shouts back to us.

Mom throws me the keys since I'm closest to her. Oct and I pull our suitcases up to the front door. I open it and we both walk inside, Dash following us as usual. Leaving our suitcases next to the door, we walk upstairs. The first room is painted white. I'm guessing thats mom's room. The next one is pale blue, Harry's favorite color. The next two rooms are mine and Oct's. One is pink, while the other is dark blue. I walk into my room(dark blue) and Oct walks into hers(pink). My room faces the front of the house.

"Girls." Mom's voice travels up stairs.

Oct and I walk downstairs and into the kitchen.

"How do you like the house?" mom asks.

"I like it." I reply.

"Its nice." Oct says.

We haven't really been talking lately. Well...I haven't been talking to her lately. After opening up, I just don't feel comfortable. She tried talking to me, only to receive one word answers. After that, she just quit.

"Ok, well the movers are setting everything up. I need you two to go to the grocery store that we passed while coming here and buy these things." she says, handing us a list. "Here's the money." she adds, handing us 100 dollars.

"Why hundred?" I ask her. "We just need a few pre-packed food and milk."

"Go to Subway and get subs too." she replies.

Oct and I walk out with the list and the money. The grocery story is just ten minutes away. The Subway is in the same shopping complex.

We start walking towards the grocery store, not saying a word to each other. We buy the few groceries we need, and then walk to Subway.

"I'll stand here, you go get the subs." Oct says. I just nod and walk into Subway.

I order the usual subs that the three of us like. After I get our subs, I walk outside.

I see an ice cream shop right next to the Subway.

"Ice cream?" we both say at the same time.

"You go again." Oct says. "I don't feel like talking anyways."

I sigh, but don't argue. Handing her the subs, I walk into the ice cream parlor and stand in line. The parlor is filled with teens, which surprises me. I guess this is the hub for most of the high schoolers on a warm, August afternoon, especially the day before school starts. In Redbrook, school starts on September 1, which is just three days earlier than at Arudium High. September 1 is tomorrow.

"How may I help you?" a voice asks.

I look up and see that I'm the next person in line. The person who just spoke looks at me.

"Oh, um a mint chocolate chip, a chocolate, and a French vanilla please." I ask.

"Ok. And, how would you like them?" she asks.

"Um, do you have quarts?" I ask nervously.

"Yes. That would be fifteen-ninety nine." she says.

"Ok." I hand her twenty dollars and she gives me the change of 4 dollars and 1 cent.

"Thanks." I say.

"No problem!"

I grab the bag she gives me when my phone buzzes. I pull my phone from my back pocket. 

I start walking to the door, looking down at my phone just as some guys walk in. I accidentally bump into one of them. I look up from my phone.

"Oh, sor-" I start. I'm shocked when I see him. He looks like Michael.

"Watch out!" he says. "Look where your going."

He looks like almost Mike, but his voice is different. I glare at him, annoyed. "Why don't you? You have eyes too." I shoot back.

The entire ice cream parlor suddenly quiets down.

"Are you talking back to me?" he asks.

"Yes." I reply.

"What?"

"Whoops. I thought you were blind. Didn't know you were dumb too. Let me say this slowly." I say. "Y-E-S. Yes. I was talking back to you." I say slowly.

He stares at me, mouth wide open.

"What? Cat got your tongue?" I ask sweetly, smirking.

He laughs. "Look cupcake. You seem new here, so imma let this slide for now." he says.

I let out a small laugh and roll my eyes. I push past him and the other guy and walk out of the parlor.

October's POV

I wait for Nova outside the ice cream parlor when my phone rings. I pull it out of my back pocket and answer it.

"Hey Michael." I say.

"Hey Oct. Whatcha doing?"

"Well, my mom made Nova and me get groceries and Subway by ourselves in our new town." I answer.

"Haha. Nice. Where did you move to?" he asks.

"A place called Redbrook."

"Redbrook? Oh." there's silence on the other side.

"Mike?" I say into the phone.

I look up to see two guys walking towards me. I squint my eyes to look at the first one. He looks almost like Michael.

"Hey, I have to go." Michael says into the phone.

"Oh, ok. Uh, bye." I say, still staring at the guy in front of me as he walks into the ice cream parlor.

****

A few minutes later, Nova walks out of the ice cream parlor and we walk back to our new home without saying a word, but my mind is still wondering, who was that guy? Why does he look like Michael?

Hey guys! This is the second book of Heartbroken. So, who do you think that guy who looks like Michael is? Let me know in the comments!!
