Maya: My Chicago Journal

Day 1

Journal,

Today was the worst day of my life. I am on the plane to move to Chicago, Illinois because my mom can't take care of me anymore. Now I have to live with my dad till college. I don't even know what he's like. Oh the plane just landed. Brb

------------------------------------------------------

Ok I just met my dad for the first time and we're driving to his house (my new home). So far he seems pretty nice I guess. The hard part about moving is I can't see my bff Riley. I miss her so much. I can't call or text her because there is no wifi and I have no cell service.

Now I am at my dad's house (It is actually a big apartment). I met his wife and his step daughters and they don't seem very nice. They sent me to my room to go to sleep 5 minutes after I got there. Who does that! Anyways, my room is very small. It has one tiny bed and a crooked bedside table with a lamp. All I have with me are clothes, makeup, the necessities I'll ever need, a journal and two pens. I unpack my things and lay down. I hear the three girls watching tv while I have to go to bed. Omg my dad is coming to check on me! gtg
