*Laura's POV*

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Laura get up its moving day!"

I slowly open my eyes, the piercing light shines through the cracks of my blinds. I look at the clock on my bed side table, it reads 9.05am. On a Saturday morning? Is she being for real?

I sit up in my bed and look around the room I had lived in for 16 years, it was now all packed up into cardboard boxes. I can truly say this is the worst day ever!

I get out of bed and go down stairs and immediately hear the screams of my two little brothers being naughty, as usual...

"Jack it's mine, give it back.". Lucas moans, as he chases jack around the dinning room table.

Moms stressed as it is with the move these two playing up is the last thing she needs. I get an orange out the fruit bowl and quickly hop back up stairs to get changed out of my pj's. Today is going to be along day!

*12.00am*

The moving van is all packed and the kids are in the car ready to go.

"Mooooooom! Hurry up the gremlins are starting to fight!" I shout out the car window as my mom rushes out the house locking the door and gets in the car.

"Sydney, here we come." My mom says enthusiastically.

I just put in my head phones and play my weird music that I find so inspiring the whole way there.

It's about 3pm by the time we pull up out side this beautiful big house with a lovely front garden with a big drive, the house was cream and wooden on the out side. It was amazing. Mom got a promotion, she worked for some global banking firm and the promotion came with its perks.

*Sunday 3.00pm*

We'd spent the whole day unpacking the little things we had. My room was twice as big as my old room so my stuff filled less than half the space. It didn't feel like home, i missed my house.
"Pizza anyone?" I herd my mom shout from the bottom of the stairs, my face lit up, she new I was feeling home sick and she new just how to make me happy.
All I heard was the two gremlins run down the landing and thump there way down the stairs. I got up off my bed and ran down the stairs straight after them.

"Laura, don't forget, early night tonight. It's your first day tomorrow. "
Urrrggghhh. I'd been missing home so much I completely forgot about starting this new, crappy school. It's my last year I just want to go unnoticed and get out as soon as possible but something tells me that it isn't going to be that easy.

"Laura's got no friends." Jack giggled

As much as I loved that 6 year old some days I could just kill him and of course Lucas had to have his back
"Haha, loser." He giggled.

Mom tried shushing them but those twins were never quite and only got louder if you gave them sugar.

"I can feel some kind of illness coming on, ohhh no!" I dramatically dribbled off my chair and onto the floor, of course, both boys laughed. Mom just chuckled and then gave me a stern look.
"Get up, Laura, your going, end of discussion." She said.

I huffed as I got up off the floor and back on to my chair pulling it closer to our new dinning room table which might I say was pretty ugly.

By 9pm the pizza was all gone and the boys snuggled into bed. I went up to my room and sat on my bed and pulled out my scrap book full of photos and memories Fromm my old home, school and I would say friends but I only had one.

Katie was a good friend and she promised to Skype me and visit but she's always busy with her new boyfriend so looks like the boys are right I really am on my own!
I check my phone before I go to asleep.
