I can't believe we actually moved to Florida. I have been wanting to leave Chicago for so long, I'm almost crying. My adoptive parents found a house here, and decided it would be the perfect place to live. The house has three bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, four 'bathrooms, a pool, and finally a hot tub. My parents get the biggest bedroom, I get the second biggest and the third is gonna be a guest bedroom.

As they open the front door I take off like a bat out of hell, and go in search of my bedroom. The said my bedroom was the last one up the stairs. I find my room and I am amazed. My room is baby blue, kinda like my eyes. It already has new furniture in it. I have a queen sized bed, dresser, nightstand, and a desk. "Do you like your room?" My father says from my door way, with a huge grin on his face. "We thought you would like this room. You might wanna go downstairs and get some of your other things. Oh, and we saw a few teens walking and asked when school starts. They said the community high school starts in a couple of days, so you should go shopping for new clothes."

Oh, great I start in a few days. "Okay, I'll get the rest of my things," I follow him out my door way and head down stairs. He shows me the rest of the house. When we get to the backyard, it is beautiful. It has a pool, hot tub, a garden, a pond with koi fish. Since were new here, maybe we could invite the neighbors over for a pool party for the kids, and a hot tub party for the adults. "Dad, maybe we could have a pool party for the kids and a hot tub party for the adults, so we can meet the new neighbors?" I ask my dad. 

        He smiles and says, "Yes we should. Why don't you go around the neighborhood and invite them over. Tell them it's tomorrow at 12:00 PM. Oh and tell them to bring bathing suits."

My face instantly brightens up. "Sure, how may people should I invite?" He thinks about it for a minute and says, "Invite the whole block," he turns and walks back to the house to tell my mother. I follow him inside. "I need money and key to the house. I might go shopping for new clothes later," I tell them. My mother grabs her purse off the counter. 

              She hands me a key and some money, "Be home by 9:00 PM. Take the jeep," she tells me. I put the key and the money in my pocket. 

        On the way out I grab the keys to the jeep and look over my shoulder and say, "Don't wait up for me," I open the door and close it and head to the jeep.

I start the jeep and head to the first house. A man opens the door, "How can I help you?"

        I smile and say, "My parents and me are having a pool party for kids and a hot tub party for adults. We would like for you and your family to come. It starts tomorrow at 12:00 PM." Then a boy comes down a set of stairs and stops when he sees me. 

    The man turns and says, "Devon how would you like to go to a  pool party tomorrow?" he asks the boy.

"Sure. Who are you?" he asks me. 

      "My name is Cherry Bloom. I just move here with Mr. and Mrs. Bloom." Devon looks at his dad then at me.

  "Aren't you their daughter? Why do you call them Mr. and Mrs.Bloom, instead of mom and dad?" Of course they don't know I'm adopted.

      "I'm adopted. They adopted me when I was a baby. I've been with them ever since." The man looks at me with sorrow. 

        "Oh, I'm so sorry. Yes, me and Devon would like to come tomorrow. I think Devon should bring his bring his famous 'Girls go Wild' drink." I couldn't hold back my laughter.

            "Girls go Wild?" I say between laughs.

    "Its true girls go wild for my drink. And boys too," Devon says.
