"California, here we are!"Mom spoke, waking me up out of my sleep. She pulled onto the side of the apartment complex as I grabbed my bag and looked over at my brother Daniel.

Me and Daniel don't like the fact that we had to move across the country, but Mom thinks it's so amazing when it isn't and, I could tell Daniel already hated it here as we got out of the car.

"Look at those palm trees!" she said and went on about them like they were so special only for Daniel to say "Yeah, watch out for falling coconuts" Daniel spoke sarcastically.

Mom rolled her eyes at Daniels's words, but she didn't say anything for a minute until "Did I tell you guys about the pool?" she said knowing she told us about it about 100 times.

"About a hundred times ma," Daniel answered.

"Well make it a hundred and one."She said with a smile and walked to the gate as she talked about what apartment we were in.

Mom then left us alone as we grabbed boxes, and as Daniel kicked the fence door for no reason a guy fell and groaned "Daniel, we just got here, and you're already hurting people!"I exclaimed as I helped the guy up.

"You alright?"Daniel asked the guy, and the guy just kept brushing it off. "So, you gotta be the new people in apartment 20?" he asked.

"Uh yeah I guess so" Daniel responded. "Hey, Freddy Fernandez, apartment 17." Freddy introduced himself and shook out hands.

I then got bored and left Daniel with Freddy and went to our apartment with the boxes, I walked in and saw my mom "Please don't say any about the pool, I'll call first thing in the morning." Mom spoke.

Soon after Daniel walked in, he went to get water from the faucet and it went all at him "Oh, the faucet's broken." "Oh, the real estate lady said there's a fix-it guy around here see if you guys can find him. Okay?" Mom said and we both nodded.

"Oh, ma we got invited to a party tomorrow," Daniel said before he walked out. "That's great. You see?" "I know, but you wanted us to help you unpack," Daniel spoke.

"I don't remember saying anything about that," Mom said, then I spoke "Great. We must have you mixed up with someone else" Then me and Daniel walked out to find the repair man as Daniel gave water to a dog.

We asked a lady where and we eventually got there, "Hello?"Daniel spoke as we walked in and saw a whole bunch of stuff in the place. "Hey, are you the maintenance man?"I asked as we saw an older guy catching flies with chopsticks.

"Hai."

"Yeah, we're the new people in apartment 20," Daniel said "Yeah, our faucets really leakin' there," I said.

The guy turned to look at us and we stepped back, "Well can you come fix it?"Daniel asked and all we got was another.

"Hai"

"Well, can we tell our mom when?" "When. what." "When you're gonna fix the faucet." "After." "After what?"Daniel sounded annoyed.

"After! After!"

Me and Daniel just walked out with me, we didnt wanna deal with that guy maybe be would come to fix the faucet later. "whats up with him?"I mutter to Daniel as we walk up the steps.

"Why would I know?"Daniel said with an annoyed tone. I just ignored that as we entered the apartment I already hated it here, I had no friends it sucked I couldn't talk to Lindsay or Brandy. Instead, I had to stay in California where it was hot and humid, I hated this place with a passion already.

Sorry if this is short I just didn't wanna put the beach party in with this but anyways please vote, comment, or do anything to help I appreciate it-Emma
