"first day of senior year starts tomorrow at a new school. how do you feel?" gabby, my older sister said as we were both laying in my bed being lazy. it was sunday. i was starting a new school in spain. we moved to barcelona, where my brother wanted to start his futbol career.

he was lucky enough to be able to get signed. i guess those hard college days finally were worth it. he prayed for this day to come, and it worked off. i was proud of him, expect the whole family moved to spain for him.

"pretty nervous. i mean, i'm glad we managed to bring hayden with us, because she's my bestfriend, and we can be new kids together but damn is my spanish terrible." i smiled as i looked at her, putting my hair behind my ears. hayden was taking a shower.

"okay but like they don't just speak spanish. they're also teaching english, most speak english, and some mainly spanish."

"yes, i know. but we are mexican. we speak mexico spanish and they speak spain spanish. and hayden's white, she's going to have a hard time" i said as i laughed. we watched hayden get out of the bathroom.

"hey, i might be white but i got some sort of spanish in me" me and gabby looked at her laughing.

"gabby!" we heard my mom shout from downstairs, i looked at her while grabbing my phone off the bedside. hayden put her dirty clothes in her laundry basket. we were sharing a room for the time being.

"i'll be right back" she said as she got up and went to the door.

"isn't it weird that we're in a different country?" hayden said as i looked up from my phone at her. she opened the window and we heard people. we lived in a neighborhood that was pretty close to the city.

we had gotten a decent house. pretty cheap compared to the us. it was a two story house that had 8 rooms. 3 downstairs and 5 upstairs. dad wanted a huge house in case any family members wanted to come down.

"it does, but sometimes new beginnings are good" i said smiling at her. she nodded her head as she closed the window.

hayden moved in with us this year because her family kicked her out. she lived in a very christian household. they were super strict on hayden and hayden didn't like it so she started sneaking out and going to parties and had sex...more than once.

once her parents found out. she was kicked out, luckily though, when my parents found out. they quickly took her in. my parents loved hayden. so now she moved with us to a whole new country.

"i wonder if the guys here are hot. i bet they have sexy accents" hayden said and i scoffed looking away from her.

"you and your boy obsession." i said and we heard my name being shouted. i looked at her. she was smiling.

"why are you smiling? weirdo, come on," i said and she brushed her hair quickly. following me down the stairs.

"yes?" i said smiling. mom and dad were waiting down the stairs. dad was holding a little box. i was confused.

"here. for you, since you are a senior" mom said as dad handed me the little box.

"awh, you guys didn't have to get me anything." i said as i opened the box expecting a necklace. it wasn't a necklace. it was a mercedes car key.

"no, you guys didn't." i said as i opened the front door. i always wanted a mercedes. i walked outside and see chris and gabby standing right by the white mercedes.

"shut up, no. that's not mine.. is it?" i asked as chris and gabby were looking at me, laughing.

"yes! it is your car" gabby said as she came and gave me a big hug. chris joined in too. i unlocked the car, and got inside.
