My name is Casey Middleton. All my life I've spent living in a tiny town population 1879+ not exactly that tiny but a lot smaller than bigger cities that I would want to live in. Luckily my mom started gaining interest in becoming a photographer and our tiny town didn't seem to be the place where she could find a steady job so we decided to move to Orlando where there were perfect job opportunities for both my parents and an international school for me to go to since my dad doesn't want me to go to a public school anymore and my mom's company would pay for the tuition.

I'm really nervous. Going to an international school meant classmates from all over the world and everyone would have completely different backgrounds. I would have to get used to that but I am definitely excited to meet some cute boys! I mean, the guys at my old school weren't that spectacular and I'm going through puberty so of course I'm into this kind of stuff. I am usually the shy girl so I doubt I would have a chance with any of them but sometimes it's just fun to have a crush.

"Case, have you packed your bag and prepared your first day of school outfit?"

My mom asks as she peaks into my room. I was blasting on some music in my headphones scrolling through the goodbye messages on my Facebook page. Yeah, I'm 15 I was supposed to get Facebook 2 years ago but everybody had an account since they were 10.

"Yeah I'm just relaxing gonna go to bed soon for an early night."

I replied and wished her goodnight before getting into my comfy pjs and laying in bed scrolling through Instagram. Social media was a big part of my life.

After a while my eyes got tired so I put my phone in airplane mode (I have this weird thing where I think the signal that my phone tries to get affects my brain :/) and set it down for bed. Tomorrow is going to be a pretty big day.
