We finally get to the airport and we walk inside dragging our suitcases behind us. Cassie was jumping around happily.
Cassie stop jumping around. Luna says.
But I'm so excited!
Just ignore it Luna. I boss.
She grunt's and looks away.

We had to sit there for 2 hours before we could get on the plane.
,Why is my dad so obsessed with being early?,
We got on the plane and I sat next to Cassie.
You wanna play tic tac toe? She asks.
I gave her a weird look.
Please. She says doing her best attempt at puppy eyes and failing miserably.
Fine. I say annoyed.
We played and I won every time.
How do you do that? She asks me after we were done with out 15 game.
I don't know. I shrug
You have to know. She said dissatisfied with my answer.
Maybe I'm more clever than you.
No way. Let's play again. She challenges.
Nooooo. I wine.
Your boring. She says angrily.
I just look away and close my eyes.

I don't know how long I slept but I heard Cassie and Luna talking.
I keep my eyes closed and listen.
Is Tina asleep? I hear Luna ask.
Yeah...
Ok wake her up I need to talk to her.
I feel Cassie tap my arm.
I open my eyes and look at her.
What?
I look at Luna.
Were going to be there in a half hour but then we have to sit in a sweaty car and drive for an hour. She wines.
You know dad never actually told us where our new house is. I say looking confused.
He's asleep. Cassie says.
Should we wake him? I ask.
No let's let him sleep for a little longer. Luna says thoughtfully.
We never actually seen this house. I say probably still Looking confused.
Yeah I hope it's big. Cassie says.
It's probably just a normal house. I say.
Sure but still a little hope won't hurt. Luna says in that perky voice I hate.

We sit there in silence for about 10 minutes.
You should wake up dad. I say.
I look behind me to where Luna was sitting.
She shakes dads shoulder.
Wake up dad were going to be there in maybe 20 minutes?
Yeah. Cassie answers.

Dad wakes up and looks at us still looking kinda sad.
Uuuh what town are we moving into? I ask.
Southwark. He responds.
My mouth drops.
Isn't that place really expensive? I ask.
Yeah! Cassie half yells.

I sit there speechless untill we land.

Everyone piles off the plane. We were some of the last people to get off the plane.
Before we got in a cab we all head to the bathrooms.
I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself.
Surprisingly I didn't look too much like a freak. My hair still looked sorta decent.
I walk out and see Luna and cassie standing outside the door.
My dad was just walking out of the bathroom.
Are we ready? He asked all of us.
Ready as we'll ever be. I say with a sigh.

We quickly find a cab.
About a half hour later.
I accidentally fell asleep again.
Luna had to wake me up when we were parked in a big driveway.
Are we here already? I ask and step out of the car.

I look up and see a big house. My sister's get out of the car to join me.
I look over at Luna.
It's huge. She says in awe.
Yeah. I say probably looking like an idot.
Come on girls our furniture is already inside. Dad says.
We follow him into the giant house and the cab driver pulls away.
When we walked inside there was a big staircase winding up to an upper floor. Cassie automatically runs up the stairs yelling.
Your rooms are upstairs. Dad said as he follows Cassie up the stairs.
Me and Luna not far behind.
He leads us to a  big room with Luna's bed in the corner of the room.
Luna walks in and goes over to a door on the other side of the room.
She peeks her head inside and quickly pulls it out.
We have our own bathrooms! She yells.
Wait really? I ask walking over.
I look inside and sure enough there was a bathroom with a shower in the corner.
Ok come on Cassie your room is over here. Dad says walking just a little further down the hallway.
We all follow wanting to see.
He opens a room just a little smaller that Luna's.
Cassie runs in and jumps on her bed.
Uuum ok. I say.
Dad walks to the furthest room down the hall and I walk in.
There was my bed and a lot of my boxes of nick nacks and my old art.
Dad walks back down the stairs. And I fall on my unmade bed.
After I lay for about 5 minutes I start searching through the boxes to find my bed sheets. I find them in a box with my old stuffed animals.
I quickly make my bed and lay down again.
I find myself drifting off to sleep.
