Chapter 1: "Mom, do we have to??" "Yes, Amélie." I sigh, "I'm not gonna be happy about this." "It's what we have to do. Now, we're leaving in a week, make sure you start packing now." "Whatever." -1 Week Later- "Thank you for flying with us, enjoy your stay in sunny California." I hear over the intercom, we get off the plane, get our luggage, and take our rental car to our new house. All of our furniture is already there -- my aunt and uncle already moved it for us. As beautiful as it is in California, I'm still not gonna be happy here. I'll miss my friends a lot. I don't understand why we had to move here. Well, either way, I'll have food on my plate and a roof over my head. I should be thankful I have a home and loving parents. I won't complain -- I promise. "Amélie, school starts in a couple days, you should start studying." "School? Already?" "Yes, school. I know we just moved here, but you have to go to school." "Fine..." I study, only because my mom makes me. I don't even know what school I'll be going to! The weeks fly by and eventually, school starts. I walk in the office, "Hi... I'm new here..." I say nervously, "Amélie Cartier?" "That's me." "Your homeroom is room 207 and your locker number's 145. Your first class is history. Here's all your information you need." She passes me my class list and times, "Thank you." I say and find my locker, I put in my combination, everything I need is already in there. I walk to my first class, I'm a little late... Not my fault I just got here and I have no clue where my classes are. I walk in the class, and stand in the doorway, waiting for the teacher to notice me. "Amélie, you're late, but that's completely understandable." The teacher brings me to the front of the class. I start getting nervous, "Class, this is Amélie. She's new and moved from..?" She waits for me to finish her sentence, "The United Kingdom - London, to be exact." There was a bunch of small talk after I said that. "That's cool. Now Amélie, you can sit where you like." I look for a seat, there's only one left, "Actually, you don't really have a choice." I sit down in the one seat, put my stuff on the desk and pay attention. "Hey, Amélie, are you actually from the UK?" The boy beside me asks, "Yeah." "That's cool. I'm Cameron." "Nice to meet you." "Cameron, it's nice to see you're getting along with her, but I'm gonna have to ask you to stop talking." The teacher tells him, "Okay, sorry." Class goes by, I'm confused, since I have no clue whereas to what the class project is. I go to my locker and find Cameron there too, turns out his locker's right beside mine. "What's your next class?" He asks me, "Umm. I don't know, let me check." I get out my binder and get the paper with my list of classes, "Math." "Same. Hey, can I see your list of classes?" "Go ahead." I pass him my paper, "Cool, we have the same classes!" "At least I'll know someone in each of my classes. And that way I won't get lost. Although, even if I'm with you, I'll probably still get lost, I seem to have a habit of that." He chuckles, "You're pretty funny, ." "That's what everyone says. But I don't think so..." "You are!" "Thank you, then." We walk together to class, I learned a lot about him. He's in a band, his favourite colour's green, his favourite animal's a giraffe, he's really good at math and his lucky number's 5. Our next class ends and lunch starts. I have no idea where to sit. A girl walks up to me, "Hi , I'm Audrey, I've seen you around. Wanna come sit with my friends and I?" I like how friendly they are here. I smile, "Sure!" I follow her to her table. "Guys, this is , she just moved here so make her feel welcome." "Okay!" One girl says, "I'm Brianne! Call me Bree." "Or Bree Cheese!" Another girl says, "I'm Sarah, and that's Daylen and Ryan." She points at two boys, they both wave, "You guys are so welcoming here! If I transferred schools in the UK, nobody would ever talk to me." "Oh, why? You're so nice!" "I don't know. Ask them." They laugh. I have so many friends now... Well at least, people who'll talk to me. My actual real friend here would be Cameron, we're close to best friends and we've only known each other for a day! And then of course there's my brother, Alexandre. But he doesn't like me too much. ****** First chapter!! It gets better, trust me! :) -Mandi
