~Isabel~

Did you ever feel so alone? I have after what just happened. My name is Isabel Fields. I'm 17 years old I have long brown hair I live in Los Angeles well I did until my parents decided to send me to a private school in London. Why so far away you may be asking yourself? Well in the beginning of summer my parents decided to try an experiment and bond with me but that failed completely as they were so busy in work they barely had time for me, their only child so they came up with sending me to a boarding school so I wouldn't be alone well instead of picking a boarding school that was in the same country they decided to pick one outside of the country. They told me it was because they didn't want me all alone for so long I think its because they don't want me around anymore. But what can I say they've never been there for me. As they dropped me off at LAX to be shipped off to London my mom put on fake tears and told me she would miss me oh so much which I know is a lie because as soon as she leaves she will be scheduling her next appointment with some big client. My dad says a quick goodbye and hands me my luggage, ticket, and an envelope with money inside. I waved good bye to them and walk inside they dropped me off an hour early. I have no clue why but then again I think about my theory of them not wanting me.

*Flashback*

"Isabel can you please come down here?" I heard my mom call from downstairs. I sighed and got off my bed making my way down the stairs to the dining room. Both my parents were seated on one side of the table with a folder placed in front of them. I raised an eyebrown looking for any hints as to why they wanted to talk to me. I also thought back to anything I could have done wrong for them to piss me off but shook my head and sat across from them.

"Hey guys, whats up?" I asked them casually. They looked at one another and smiled, "Honey your mother and I have just been promoted in our company which means we'll rarely be home and we know that you spending all your time alone isn't really healthy so we came up with a solution for you to have the brightest future." This time I was confused, "Okay so you got a promotion we don't have to move do we? I mean I'm totally okay with moving but why are you telling me?"

My mom sighed before smiling at me, "Sweetie we don't want you alone in the house anymore that it is. So we found this wonderful boarding school in London and you've been accepted in. You will leave before break ends." I shook my head had she just said a boarding school in London? "You can't be serious. You're sending me to another country? Away from my friends and family?" I started to freak out.

"Sweetie we're doing wha's best for your future and besides it's your last year you have nothing to worry about you'll be back before you know it." I shook my head, "You don't understand it's senior year I'll be the new kid and won't be able to graduate with the people I grew up with." With that I ran up to my room blinking back the tears that were daring to fall and took out my phone sending a text to my best friend Elizabeth trying to forget I left in about 3 weeks to another country.

I walked over to some chairs and sat down I looked around for what seemed like forever but in reality it was only 30 minutes. All I could think about was what's going to happen this year at The Burton Academy for Boys and Girls. With me being the new girl I wondered if I would make friends or if they would look at me as I was an outsider. Then I thought of about my best friend the one I was leaving behind. Will she for get me, would we stop being friend? As all these thoughts rushed through my mine I felt my phone go off. I picked it up to see I had a text message from my best friend, Elizabeth.

Lizzybeth: hey babe I miss you already bestfriend :/ text me when you land

Me: Babe! I'll miss you too and I'll def text you but their calling my flight gotta go love you (: xx

I sighed and thought back to the day I had to tell her I was leaving. It was two days before I actually had to leave and my last memory with her;

"Okay babes I'm here what's the emergency you have?" Elizabeth said sitting down next to me in the sand. I looked out at the waves crashing against the shore. "Lizzy you know you're my best friend right?" I looked over at her to see her nodding, "Why Isabel what's wrong?" I ignored her question and closed my eyes, "And you know no matter what you'll always be my best friend right? Even if we're seperated?" "Is, tell me what's wrong. Why are you asking all of this?"

I took a deep breath before looking at her once again, "Lizzy I'm leaving in two days. My parents are sending me to a boarding school in London." Her facial expression was blank. I couldn't read it at all, "Wait so we won't be graduating together this year?" She asked after a couple of minutes blinking causing tears to stream down her face.

I tried to blink back my tears as I shook my head but they poured over anyway, "No we won't. Everything we planned for senior year is now a no go." My voice cracked at the end. We sat in silence before she threw herself around me, "You'll always be my best friend no matter how far you are." Her voice cracked as I felt her tears on my shoulder. We sat and cried in the sand before we decided to make a memory out of it.

I sighed and locked my phone as I got up since my flight was being called. "Well looks like this is it," I thought as I walked through security and up to the gate where I would be getting on the plane at. When I got there I handed the lady who was standing there my ticket. She told me my seat was in first class and it was seat 2B and to enjoy my flight. I smiled at her and thanked her and started walking down the terminal. I stopped and turned around and looked back at the life I was leaving behind. The place I called home my whole life, I was now saying goodbye to the warm California weather and now saying hello to the cold London weather. Oh well I turned around and walked onto the plane.

I found my seat and sat down I pulled out my phone and looked at the time. 2:45pm "great... lets get this 10 hour flight over with..." The flight attendant's voice came over the loud speaker. "we are about to prepare for takeoff please fasten your seatbelts and enjoy your flight. Thank you" I buckled up my seat belt and turned off my phone. "this is it," I thought "I'm saying goodbye to my old life" I looked out the window as the plane started to take off. Goodbye Cali I'll miss you... with that I closed my eyes and fell into a long and peaceful sleep.
