Introduction...

Chapter 1- settling in

"im going to miss you so much! Promise me you won't forget me?"

"I promise" i said to my best friend, Violet. I waved goodbye as i got in my minivan and took off for the airport. I was leaving everything behind, my friends, my school, my family... Everything

You see, my mom got a job in Ireland, and it was too good to pass up. She didn't want to leave me half way across the world, so she decided to start a new life for us all in West Meath, Ireland. I was scared, and at the same time, excited, excited for something new. Sure i loved my life in Canada, and everyone in it, but change is good.

The plane landed and i was amazed at the beauty i saw from up above. Gardens, farms, and very large buildings, which seemed to be the cities that I've heard about. I was told that Dublin makes the best beer, I'm not at the drinking age, but eh it's Ireland right?

Green, green and more green that's all i saw for miles. I wasnt expecting to live in the country, I thought mom said something about Mullingar, Ireland (which is a large town) but i like the country, I look ahead and see a humongous house, and heard mom say

"Thats it!"

It took awhile to unpack all of our belongings, but when it was done, i went exploring. It's a huge mansion with an indoor pool and an arcade room. My bedroom has my own study area, and a place for my Wii. As I walked around my purple coloured room, i noticed 2 doors. slowly pushed the first one open and saw... A toilet?! I opened it more and discovered it was my personal bathroom. Sweet. I thought. Now for the other door, I sneaked over to it and sort of bombarded it. I soon found out I had my own Walk-In closet, I was thrilled! At our house in Canada, i was lucky that I could fit my bed in my room, so you can assume how big our house was. Going from a small crowded home, to one thats big enough for 5 families, I guess you could say that I'm pretty happy.

I checked the clock, and it said 2am, guess its time for some sleep.
*************************

Exactly one week after the move, mom thought it would be a good idea for me to go to school. I don't think i've been this scared before. I started wondering if i was going to make any friends here. As i thought about making friends, i started to miss my old ones. I especially miss my best friend Violet. I've known her since grade 3 and we have been best friends ever since. She's very weird and odd, and she has grey eyes with glasses. She has always been there for me and i wouldnt trade her for anything. A tear slowly fell down my cheek as I thought about her and the fun times we had. I heard my mom call my name, I guess its time to start my first day.

"oh my gosh. A new girl! Wonder what her name is." i heard people yell. This school was so different, it had a big Crush Hall, and long narrow hallways, with stone through them, yep im in Ireland.

"Alright Kayla, follow me and i'll show you your new homeroom." called the principal. He opened the door, to an average looking classroom. I looked around and spied a group of guys in a corner, and one caught my eye. He had short brown hair with gorgeous brown eyes, he smiled at me and i got butterflies.

"you can take a seat over by Adam" and she pointed over to the brown eyed beauty. I got nervous, but i went over with glee.

"Hey! Im Adam, what's your name?"

"Uh my name is Kayla"

"Nice name. Where are you from?"

"im from Canada, its alot different here"

"Yeah tell me about it" after he said that, the bell rang and everyone left. I didnt know where to go, so i just walked slowly. Everyone went to the cafeteria, so i decided to go in and check it out. I spotted Adam and i smirked. I guess you could say, he's the only guy that's made me feel this way.
