Mandy's POV
"Mom do we have to move?!", I said in frustration. I could move but to a whole different continent maybe when I'm dead.
"Moving to Australia will be good for you. You'll meet new people and you will learn to live laid back. For once in your life you will actually have time for a REAL boyfriend. Not like that fake Jordan. Between me and you honey he was outrageously hideous. Did you see that giant mole on his neck. Woo makes my skin crawl. I just cant st- ."
"MOM shut up I heard a knock maybe its him."
As I'm walking over to find our who it really is I look through the glass sides of the French doors and find camouflage backpack. I start running for the door and jump into my pop's arms.
"Hey Champ!! How ya been??"
"Oh my god!! It's you! I'm good, but the official just called saying that you weren't going to be home for a while...BUT YOU'RE HERE!!!"
"I told them to say that so you guys would be surprise. I am so happy to see ya champ. How's the acting going?
"Um, Pop didn't Mum tell you? We're moving to Australia..."
"Oh, um yeah I forgot. Where is your mother?"
"She's in the kitchen..."
That was weird. My mom had told him that we were moving, and she even told me. Is he moving with us? Are they getting a divorce? Why would my mom lie to me like that? What is happening? All I know is I need to call my bestfriend because honestly I need to say goodbye for real this time.
"You know Sarah this is too much for me. I can't move and make new friends!! I will be the outcast with no Australian accent. Between you and me I wish I was moving to England. English accents are so sexy.!! Haha!"
"Omigod yes! Especially Harry Styles! I think I'm a piece of chocolate because I am going to MELT!! His curls, his face, his voice, his everything! Wouldn't you agree?"
"Um..sure but I'm more of a Louis girl. But for now forget that. I'M MOVING TO ANOTHER CONTINENT! This is major crazy Sar-Bear! I'm going to miss you like crazy. Love you got to go I'll text you in a bit, the monster mom wants me to keep packing..."
"I'll miss you like crazy Mandy-Pandy! Text me, and Skype me like there's no tomorrow! Byeee."
I saunter over to my mom who is smirking. This was not an unusual sight if she was planning something. So turns out she probably was. My pop and her were hiding something and I was going to find out. As a matter of fact where was my pop. If they were planning something it better be good. My birthday is in 2 weeks and we're going to be in Australia by then. I have never spent my birthday out of the country. People assume I have a private jet, or yacht, turns out I do. I have everything and more. I'm not an only child though. I have Josie the 6 year old pest, Natalina the 20 year old model, and Joseph the 4 year old lying thief. He always has a way to have my personal journal, laptop, basically anything of mine. I wonder how they're going to adjust to the outback?

"Mandy get up!!"
Falling out of bed is not a pleasant way to way up. Trust me. Lazily I change into my day clothes. I take a peak at the clock and realize its 9:30!! I was supposed to be at school two hours ago! And then it hit me, "I'm not going to school because I'm moving..." I take a look at my pink leopard print luggage bulging with clothes, shoes, and makeup. I'm going to need a personal truck to take all my belongings.
"Mandy you ready? We have to catch the plane in three hours! I figured you wanted to get some Panera Bread before we left!"
Panera bread? I wanted Starbucks to be honest, but I wasn't mood at the same time. I take my bags to the car which is barely closing because of my stuff. Being 15 sucks because you don't have your license yet. My dream car? I still haven't figured that out. The dream boy to ride in the car with? Oh yeah, Justin Drew Bieber. I've met him a couple times for premieres but that's it. I'll never be able to go out with him because he's 19 and I'm 15. 4 year difference is not a lot but in this society is like a 20 year gap. I can dream and that's all. I run into my room one last time to say goodbye and I kiss the spot where I texted my bestfriend everyday. I can't believe it. I'm really leaving because my mom got a job. this was unfair but you know hopefully I'll make it out there.
