I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the door. I checked the time, 10:53am. I got out of bed and looked at myself in the mirror, I looked a complete mess but oh well.
I walked past Ana's room and heard her snoring, which probably means she still asleep.
I ran downstairs and opened the door. It's Michael! But there's something different...
He's dyed his hair brown! It was blonde before but I think brown suits him.
"Hey, your here a bit early aren't you?" I asked, hoping he'd catch on that he'd just woke me up.
"Well yeah but I wanted to show you my hair" he moved his fringe slightly across with his hand, "do you like it?" He asked.
"Yeah it suits you"
"Thanks"
I walked into the kitchen, "you coming in or not?" I turned to see Michael still stood in the doorway, but he soon followed me in and closed the door behind him.
I put a slice of bread in the toaster and grabbed the Nutella out of the cupboard.
The toast popped up and I coated it with the chocolate spread.
"What made you dye your hair then?" I asked him.
"I wanted a change, something different, I was thinking about a bright colour but I think I'm going to save that until I leave school"
I nodded, "I want to dye my hair" I looked down at my messy hair light brown hair.
"We should dye it together"
"We should"
Then I heard footsteps coming from the stairs, and soon after I saw a tired Anastasia carrying her teddy down with her.
"Good morning sleeping beauty" I smiled at her.
"Morning, why is he here again?"
"He came to show us his new hair colour, do you like it Ana?" I pointed to his hair and she nodded.
"You should dye it pink like a princess" she giggled.
Michael laughed, "maybe in the future"
"Can I have some cereal?" She asked and I nodded.
I made her some cereal and she walked into the front room to watch cartoons.
"She's cute" Michael looked over to Ana through the open door.
"Sometimes" I laughed.
I heard another knock at the door. I'm so popular lately!
I opened it to see my mum and dad.
"Hi! Your home early aren't you?"
"Yes dear, we got a phone call while we were there so we had to come home"
"What phone call?" I opened the door wider do they could come in.
My mum and dad saw Michael, but didn't say anything.
"They told us your dad has had a promotion!"
"That's great! Well done dad!" I hugged him.
"But," oh no, I always hate 'buts', "it means we have to move to America"
"What? Why can't we stay in Sydney?" I looked at Michael and then back at my parents.
"Look darling, we thought a change would do us well" she smiled at me.
"I hate change" tears started to appear in my eyes, just when things were getting better, after seventeen years of having no friends, I finally have one but I have to move away!
"There's nothing left for us here anyway, let's start over in America, come on you'll love it" she tried to persuade me, but failed.
"There's something here for me, my bestfriend" I looked at Michael, who looked pretty sad, he smiled lightly at me, "I can't leave him, he's the only friend I've ever had, apart from food and wifi!" I shouted at them.
"But there's nothing we can do sweetie, you'll make new friends" me? Make new friends? That's not gonna happen in a million years!
"I won't! If you paid attention to me you'd know that I find it extremely difficult to meet new people, but you don't do you?" I was shouting louder now, "all you care about is work and money and making sure your happy, when was the last time you asked me if I was happy?" One tear ran down my face.
"We have to take this offer. It's a big opportunity for this family! We do care about you, but we need the money" my dad said to me.
I shook my head and ran upstairs.
I sat on my bed and started crying, I can't leave now, I have a best friend! There's no way I'll be able to make new friends so I have to keep them once I have them. I understand it would help this family A LOT with the extra money but America is a long way away just for a promotion.
My door opened slightly and I saw Michael put his head round and slowly walk in. He sat beside me and hugged me.
"I don't want you to leave" he looked me in the eyes.
"I don't want to leave either"

OH NO! SHE'S MOVING :( HOW WILL MICHAEL AND FELICITY'S FRIENDSHIP WORK?!
