England to America

2-Arriving

I woke up to sun shining through my window. I got out of bed and looked outside. It's a massive house, way bigger than our house in England, the garden is triple the size! I walked into my bathroom and looked in the mirror. I have bright blue eyes, pale white skin, white-blonde hair that went to my waist and a very skinny figure. 

I went to my suitcase and got out my washing items, we only brought a few essentials since we will go shopping soon to buy all the other stuff we need. I unpacked them all into the bathroom and brushed my teeth, then I washed my hair and body. Once I got out the shower I brushed through my hair and dried it with a towel since we don't have a hairdryer at the moment. I put on my dressing gown, which I had taken out when I took the bathroom stuff out.

I went back out to my bedroom and started to unpack my clothes, in England we had to wear uniform to school, but here they don't so I will have to buy some more. I put on my underwear then I choose out my outfit. An adidas t-shirt, tucked into black ripped shorts and some black socks, we never wear shoes inside, it might be weird to some people but thats just how it works in our house. I'm more of a casual black and white girl rather than a bright, floral girl. 

I unpack all my things. Its only a few clothes and shoes, some photos, my phone and earphones, some books, my pencils, my notebook, my sketchpad, my laptop, my rucksack and a rubix cube. I'm really good at rubix cubes and I love puzzles like that, I actually have three, a normal one, a 4 by 4 a side one and a glow in the dark one.  I check my phone and set it to the US time. Its 9:00, I'm a morning person, Alex says, I just don't really like sleeping or being lazy.

I head downstairs and see we have no food whatsoever. Wow, we should've thought that one through. I quickly look on google maps and see that their is a shopping centre, or mall, around the corner and a super-market. I run upstairs and grab some black high top trainers, I go into one of the suitcases downstairs and take my skateboard from it. I get a few dollars and my keys and go to the super-market.

Once I get outside I notice how much warmer it is than England, I get to the super-market pretty quickly. When I get there I find some milk, coffee, cereal, bread, butter, marmite and juice. I pay for it and skate back home. 

I unlock the door and head inside. I unpack it and make myself a peice of toast with butter and some juice. "Make me some please" Alex grumbles

"Kay" I reply

"Hey, you went to the shop..."

"Yeah, we needed some food"

"What did you get?"

"Just breakfast stuff"

"Marmite?"

"Nope" I say seriously

"What?! You know I love it" He whines

I start to laugh then say "Just joking, I got some" I grin at him cheekily

"Why you..." He trails off

I turn back around when the toast pops, then Alex picks me up by the waist.

"Hey, put me down!" I say

"Nope."

"Please..." I whine

"Not until you say sorry"

"Never" I stick my nose in the air

"Well I guess I'll just have to dump you in the bins..."

"What!" I shriek as he unlocks the front door

"All you have to do is say sorry..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" I say hurriedly

"Good!" He puts me down and I sigh of relief. I look over the road and see a guy looking at me, I quickly turn around and head inside, as I do I shout "Your toast is cold now!!" Alex groans. I go back inside and put butter and marmite on his toast then give it to him on a plate. He grabs a glass of water then we both sit down and eat our toast.

My Mum comes into the kitchen-dining room and says "What was all that racket?"

"It was Alex" I say as soon as he says "It was Evie"

"Well I guess it was both of you then" She says laughing

"What?!" We both say as my Mum just laughs harder.

"I see you bought some breakfast things" My Mum says looking at me,

"What! How come it couldn't have been me, huh?!" Alex says

"Come on, lets be realistic here" I say

He huffs and goes back to eating. My Mum smiles and tries to hide her little laugh. She makes herself some cereal and comes to sit with us. We all eat our breakfast then my Mum says "Well since we have one more week until I have to go to work and you two have to go to school, we should dedicate some shopping days, just let me get my diary." I look at Alex and we both roll our eyes, our Mum is so organized.

Once she comes back downstairs we all agree on what to do each day. We also make a huge shopping list and we sort some more things out. Today is Monday and so we are going to go to the supermarket once we get our car from my Mum's company, she works at the hospital and they said that if she goes to America then she will earn a lot more money, they will even put in half the price of our house and a car. So yeah, we needed a new start anyway.

The car arrives and my Mum sorts out all the stuff she needs to sign then we head out to the supermarket. After our boot is stuffed with bags we head home, we unpack everything then my Mum makes some sandwhiches for us to eat for lunch. I help Alex unpack the x-box and all the dvd's. We get netflix on the TV and we get sky. We set up the wi-fi too. Me and Alex are what you would call, nerds. We  love computer games, we love x-box games, we love programming, yeah anything techie really.

We play a bit of GTA and then we cook dinner and head to bed. I like it here in America and I'm glad I have Alex because otherwise I would be all alone. I put on some shorts and a vest then go to sleep.
