Las Cosas Della Mia Vita

Chapter 2: Moving

A month goes by quickly and soon we are backing up boxes of the thing in our home that need to be donated or shipped to Italy. Fortunately many of the bigger bulkier things were sold in our garage sale. I am packing my favorite books, movies, camera and yes even CDs because I like to remember the days before the iPod Nano had come out. I also take a moment to see the pictures of my friends and memories I had from St Luis. I had managed to get almost all my pictures in photo albums but some were still in boxes. 

I am about to start to see them when there is a nock at my door. "May I come in?" my dad asks "Sure dad. I am almost finish packing just taking a small break." I say "Very well. We will  be taking your nonna to the airport as soon as she finishes putting on her makeup." my dad tells me. Even though my nonna was seventy years old she still cares about her looks. "I do not know why nonna has to go back to France. She can just come with us. I am sure The Musée d'Orsay doesn't need her that much." I tell my dad since she is one of the heads of the museums in Paris. "You know my mother is better not to argue with her." my dad says as he walks out.

I start to look at the pictures again and they are all when I was ten years an younger. Soon I come to the pictures of when I lived in Italy. I stop and smile at the picture that was taken during Christmas under a beautiful three. It was of a young Italian boy that was my best friend and me. "Nona is ready. What are you looking at? Let me see." Sofie says scaring me half to death. "What have I told you about nocking. And no you may not see my pictures. Get out. I will be down in a minuet." I say holding the picture up in the air and pushing my sister out of my room. I put my pictures inside the box and tape it up s we can get them shipped off.

We take my grandmother to the airport and I say goodbye to her as I am upset she is leaving us. "Don't worry I am just a train ride away." my nonna tells me. We see her off and then go to get our boxes shipped off. We have to be up early the next day at 4 a.m. to head out for the airport. Thankfully there was not much for me to pack away in my suitcase.

I wake up at 3am to get ready and to make sure Sofie is up on time. We do find out that we are flying first class and as soon as we get in the plane we all fall asleep. After a four hour layover and a hole fourteen hour flight we finally get home. It is four in the after noon of another day and we are all tired. "Well I say we wait for the movers to get here so we can start unpacking. I thankfully hired a cleaning crew to clean the house so all we have to do is wait for the movers to bring in our new furniture. After that we will need to buy some new things for the house and wait for the boxes we shipped over." my dad says. All we had was suitcases with our clothing, jewelry and important documents. Everything else was still been shipped to Italy and would take about two more days.

Soon the movers come in and they start to bring in our furniture and set up the basic. The only thing we honestly care about is that they set up our beds and install our kitchen appliances. Even when we do not have nothing to eat or cook in. We just order in some food and call it a night. My father has to go into the office the fallowing day for an important board meeting. While we are all still very jet lag.

My mother was cooking up a storm for to nights dinner with my father's new business partner. I leave to meet up with some friends. I head over to the local arcade where I meet with Carlos and Sergio. "Hey guys. I am here." I tell them as they have been waiting for me. "I thought you were going to be with your parents and your father's new business partner." Sergio told m. "No is going to be a dinner. So I do not need to be there till later today." I tell Sergio. 'Okay well lets get started then. I am about to kick both of your ass. Oh and Gianluca if the partners daughter is hot make sure we meet her." Carlos says been a sleaze "Aren't you dating Dani now? Why would you ask to meet the new girl." Sergio questions. "Dam Sergio such a buzz kill. I am just curies about her. Or if is a dude we can have him try out for the team." Carlos says

I just shake my head "Okay okay guys. You are all meeting the new kid on the block either way. Now can we go inside and enjoy our last few days of freedom before we go back to school." I tell my friends. We head in and enjoy the rest of the day playing and been guys. Completely forgetting about how hard the last month has been on me. While also forgetting the dinner for tonight.
