I'm sorry I have another story but I'm on writers block right now…first time. Gasp. I'm probably going to be working on this for a while instead of Melody and Perverted Prince for a while. Well I thought of this at like…1 in the morning.

Forever Has Lost Its Meaning

Chapter 1

Moving Day

"I'll be with you forever," I heard as I walked through the park for the last time.

I groaned in disgust as I gave a dark look to the boy who said it to his girlfriend. He responded to me by staring at me with fear in his eyes.

I turned away as I kept walking.

You might be wondering why I glared at a random guy I don't even know.

No, it's not because I hate the world or that I hate relationships. It's simply because I hate when people say those sappy pathetic promises to be with someone forever or promise to love them forever. It's so pathetic, people who say that just give their partner poor hope. It also ends up in a huge messy problem.

It truly is pathetic.

I walked on the clean pavement of the park, passing lush tall trees, and ignoring the squirrels scampering by.

I really am going to miss this place.

For the next few hours I'll be here, in my beautiful city but by tomorrow I'll be in Zephyr Town. I sighed in despair. I really don't want to leave my home.

Suddenly I felt my bag vibrate. I pulled my phone out of my bag and began to open it.

'New Text Message from Jerk'

I groaned as I slowly opened it to see the message.

'Please get home soon, we'll be departing soon –Hansel'

I clicked the keys on my phone filled with anger.

'Whatever, it's not like I want to go –Gretel"

I closed my phone and shoved it back into my bag.

I hate him.

I adjusted my pink hat decorated with daisies and a blue feather on my blonde hair before I began to head home.

The streets were bustling with people who didn't seem to notice anyone else but themselves. Almost all of them held brief cases and had a light coat to protect them from the chilly yet refreshing spring wind.

I wore a short summer dress with sky blue stripes which covered only a little part of the top of my dress. The bottom was decorated with three pink lines going around the dress. There are a few matching pink goats on the top of one of the lines. My fuchsia sweater was decorated with pink flowers. I also wore navy leggings with lavender lines going down. My pink knee high socks were also designed with daisies, matching my hat. My purple shoes seemed to click on the pavement.

Why am I telling you what I'm wearing?

That's not normal.

Well this isn't what I usually wear; the jerk forced me to wear them so I fit in at my new 'home'.

When I reached my apartment, I slowly opened the door, listening to the creaks it released.

I saw the jerk, aka my twin brother, holding a box which was labeled 'Gretel's Stuff'.

He wore his usual red collared shirt with a black vest on top. He wore pants which looked like my leggings, that biter. Hansel also wore tan mountain boots. To top it off he had a blue hat accented with a yellow feather on top of his chestnut hair.

"Ah, Gretel, you're home. Hurry up, the movers already started packing up,"

I rolled my amethyst eyes in his direction while walking through the small hall way of our apartment.

I stopped as I passed my room, my feet stepped back. My eyes gazed through my room, which was filled with boxes and a few parts of my furniture all dismantled. I grabbed a few of the boxes in my room and cautiously carried it out the apartment. I placed it in the car outside.

By the way, incase if you were wondering, we can't drive.

We're just a few days away from being 17, me and the jerk.

I guess you can say moving is supposed to be our 'birthday present'.

A few exhausting hours passed by, extremely slowly.

All of our boxes were packed up and we were ready to head out.

We were being driven there by the mayor of Zephyr Town. He was a tall brawny man with a blonde beard and really bushy blonde eye brows which seemed to creep me out. His eyes were covered by his glasses. He was extremely loud and always seemed to be proud of himself.

"My name is Felix, mayor of Zephyr Town," he announced loudly as we drove in the car.

He looked at me through the mirror on the car, I turned away.

"You must be Hansel's twin sister. Why, Hansel is top in his classes and even works on the farm when he's not studying. He's a really bright child," Felix said as Hansel began to blush bashfully.

"You make it sound as if I'm the hero of our school," Hansel replied embarrassed.

"You are," the mayor laughed, which seemed to echo across the car, "With your high grades, people come and check out our school and town,"

Felix continued praising the jerk.

I sighed in disgust as I looked out the windows.

After a long hour the driver stopped and asked me, "So what's your name?"

"Gretel," I replied nonchalantly.

"Hansel and Gretel," Felix thought for a second.

If he says anything about that fairy tale I'm going to-

"You mother must've loved that story, as do I."

If I could, I would smack him back to last year but of course I can't, just because he's the only one that can drive.

"When's your birthday?"

"It's the same as Hansel, Spring 13th ,"

"Oh yes. How could I forget?"

I groaned quietly as I continued to gaze out the window.

The drive seemed to be endless. I probably watched over a million trees pass us.

The car suddenly jolted as we stepped off the road and then began to drive on dirt.

"Did you take a wrong turn?" I asked nervously.

Hansel laughed at my reaction; I'll punch him.

"No, this is the way you drive to get to Zephyr Town,"

So it's in the middle of nowhere?

Great, fabulous, this is just what I wanted.

The car came to a stop as we saw a large colorful yet chipped wooden banner in front of us.

It read, "Zephyr Town"

Good we're finally here.

I opened the door and I stepped out and took a deep breathe.

The air seems so fresh here.

There was a gust of wind which made me hold onto my hat.

It sure is windy here, I thought to myself.

"Here in Zephyr Town, we are known for our mass forces of wind, so don't be surprised if you lose your hat there,"

I ignored him as I continued to look around.

Passed the banner was what seemed to be a bazaar or a flea market.

There were stands protected by a cloth on top. Many of them had signs but some of them looked abandoned or as if no one have touched it in a long time.

"You might be wondering what this is, Gretel," Felix said.

I nodded.

"Every Saturday, the high school sets up a bazaar as a fundraiser. Students sell items, whether they found it or made it."

So the students are here to save the town or what? What do the adults do?

"These fundraisers help make us more popular, attracting more guests to each weekly bazaar. Our town is not very well known, mostly because we are surrounded by a vast forest,"

I nodded once again.

"So what do you say, Gretel, do you want to help us with the fundraiser?" Felix asked.

"It's not like I'll have anything else to do after school, so why not," I sighed as I looked away.

Felix thanked me and then asked the jerk to give me a tour.

The jerk introduced me to many of the villagers, many of which expected me. He explained almost every building and showed me the windmills, although they don't work. The next building he brought me to was the high school, which was on top of a large hill which would be fun to skate down, the one we would both be attending.

You might be wondering why Hansel knows everyone and how Felix knows him. The truth is that he left me alone to move here. His reason why isn't exactly clear but he's been living here for a few months.

"This is the high school, it's called Windmill High School" Hansel announced.

I laughed.

"What a pathetic name," I said.

"It is a funny name but it matches our town." Hansel shrugged, chuckling softly.

It does match this town, I guess.

We walked down the hill as we passed a house which resided near the river and the bridge.

"Who lives there?" I asked, with some interest for a reason even I am not aware of.

"Oh, my closest friend lives here, Angelo." My twin said.

"Did we meet him yet?" I said, imagining of a list of people I met so far.

The jerk began to think.

"Nope, I don't think so. Let's go introduce you to him," he said as he dragged me towards the house.

The jerk opened the door, without knocking, which was a first.

"It's Hansel!" he called out.

I craned my head to see a boy who looked our age. He had long curly hair, most of which was tied back. He had a yellow and orange checkered hat on top of it. He wore a loose yellow shirt, which was covered in paint and a green vest. He wore pants which resembled and matched his hat. He wore brown shoes. In his hand he held a chisel.

"Ah, Hansel," the boy said cheerfully.

The boy looked at me with his navy blue eyes.

"Who's this?" he questioned.

"This is my twin sister, Gretel." Hansel answered.

I gave him a light wave and a blunt smile.

"I'm Gretel, as you heard from him," I said politely yet with a hint of boredom.

"Hi Gretel, I'm Angelo, I'm Hansel's best friend," he said, holding out a hand.

I hesitated then reached out and shook it.

"Nice to meet you," I said as I looked around his house.

One corner was overflowing with canvases. Another part of his room was filled with paints, pastels, pencils, pens, and so many more things I didn't know.

Then something caught my eye. Angelo was standing next to a large wooden statue which seemed to resemble the mayor.

I gaped at the sight of it and how realistic it looked.

Angelo began to blush.

"This is just a commission I'm working on. It's a work in progress," he said embarrassed.

"It's amazing," I said astonished.

Angelo thanked me for the compliment.

"Gretel, we should get going," Hansel said as he looked outside to see the sun beginning to set.

I groaned in disgust.

"Whatever, okay." I said to Hansel.

"Bye Angelo, I'll see you at school tomorrow," I said as I walked out with Hansel.

We were both walking to Hansel's home, where I would be staying.

"Angelo's the only one you seemed close to all day," Hansel said.

Really? I didn't notice that.

"I guess. I can understand why he's your best friend. He seems like a really nice person," I answered, pushing a loose strand of hair away from my face.

We quickly reached Hansel's house, which had a large patch of land a few steps away from it. On the land I saw bright crops, which even seemed to shine in the darkness. He must take really good care of his farm, like how Felix said.

Hansel had a separate bed prepared for me, which was next to his.

I yawned at the sight of the bed and yearned to sleep.

I quickly got ready for bed and hopped onto the bed. It was surprising comfortably and felt like a cloud.

Tomorrow will be my first day at Windmill High School.

I laughed again at the name before falling asleep.

How was it? I hope you liked it because I worked hard on it. As for the high school I couldn't think of any good names, so please don't laugh at it. Please remember! Gretel is just a cold person overall but doesn't hate the world or anything.

Please review if you liked it!
