Chapter 2: Not a Town Girl
"EMMA!"
I jumped at the sound of my name like a scared cat, bumping into a man behind.
"S-S-Sorry", sluggishly adjusting my glasses, he gave a curt nod before walking past me.
"Uh-oh I think I scared her"
I faced the voice who almost gave me a heart attack for calling my name out of the blue. Only for it to belong to a middle-aged woman, and judging from her looks, that was definitely my aunt, and can she be more weirder than those photos?
"Hello," she said with a hand wave, dressed- well how am I gonna explain that? long mixed color shirt, and a crop shirt. Her slightly strawberry hair is a curly mess and packed with just a pin. Well, now I know who I got the trait of heavy curls from.
"H-Hi" I stammered, I made no attempt to walk to her. "Aunt Vanessa"
A smile graced her lips, her features practically glowing, she must be proud I knew her name, well how won’t I? She is no other than my mom’s twin, didn’t I mention that? That my mom’s a twin? Well, now you know.
I remained where I was, before sighing deeply, more like preparing myself to engage, yeah I know...I’m really a nervous wreck when meeting people I don’t know. I sauntered toward her in slow steps but in a blink, I was engulfed in a bear hug.
