The Elements

Moving

I wake up that morning with a headache. Squinting my eyes I look around my empty room. Slowly getting up I hear the bed squeek, I sit up and look around again I feel tears coming on but I know if I cry I'll get a bigger headache. I change into pre-ripped denim jeans, silver sparkly Toms, a white tank top with a half shirt that has a blue peace sign on it, and a light gray jacket. I take everything off my bed and stuff it into a last suit case. I walk into the bathroom and brush my teeth and brush my long straight dark brown hair. To mosturize my lips I put on kool-aid flavored chap stick and pink sparkly clear lip-gloss over it. I put on clear mascara and then put those 3 items in my pocket and go back in my room. I take all the accesorizes and brushes and put them in the only purse I have because I'm 12. I quietly take all my suitcases to the trunk of the car.

Walking back inside I notice my little sister isn't up yet. I walk into the house and go up the stairs. Slowly I turn the knob to her room only to find everything in her room ready and she's just sitting on her floor watching Dora. "Allison! Why didn't you go put your stuff outside your room to put away?!" I ask her, "Because I was watching Dora and she said not to go anywhere they'll be right back!" She answered annoyed. Ugh little six year olds can be such a pain. "Allison go put your stuff at the bottom of the stairs, the little stuff, I'll take the big stuff." I say while rolling my eyes. "How about you take everything...while I sit here and watch Dora?" She smiles evilly. "Allison get your little butt up and put your stuff at the bottom of the stairs NOW!!" I yell at her. My mom comes in wearing only one shoe while holding the other in her right hand. "What's going on here?" She asks looking annoyed. "Allison won't take her stuff down to the bottom of the stairs." I answer. "Girls we don't have time for this!! Our flight leaves in an hour and a half!" She states. With out saying a word to either of them I just grab the big suit case Allison has and roll it to the bottom of the stairs. I walk back up the stairs. "Happy now?" I ask both of them. "Very. Now go help your dad unplug all the t.v.'s!" Mom orders. Groaning I walk out of the room into the hallway, and walk down the stairs. I spot my dad in the livingroom disconnecting the t.v. in there. "Mom says I have to help you." I explain. "It's ok my little princess you don't have to help me." He smiles. "I can help you carry them..." I offer. Dad smiles.

After helping Dad put the t.v's in the big moving train box thing. I sit in the air-conditioned car and play 'Temple Run 2' on my phone. After dieing every few minutes, I just plug in some head phone and start listening to some music.

"'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in!! Shame on me now ow!!" I sing. Allison opens the car door and gets in her car seat next to me. "Blew me to places I've never been!" I nod my head with the rythym. "Be less louder I want to hear radio disney!" Allison complains. To annoy her because she's been a brat I sing louder. "TROUBLE!! TROUBLE!! OH!! OH!!" I yell loudly. Allison uses her hands to cover her ears. She unbuckles her seatbelt and walks over to me. She yanks one of the ear buds out of my ears and yells, "BE MORE QUITER..ER!!". "Allison you don't have to yell in my ear!!" I state rubbing my ear, with a hurt look on my face. "Well you were hurting mine, I like when you sing but you were singing loud! Like this...I KNOW YOUR TROULE WHEN YOU WAKE IN!!" She yells. I laugh at how she gets the lyrics wrong. "Allison it's 'I knew you were trouble when you walked in'" I smile at her. "Ok, but be more quiet." She says and sits back in her seat.

A few minutes later when everything is packed and nothing is in the house my parents enter the car. "Are you girls ready to leave?" mom asks smiling. "No, but you don't care about my opinion." I mumble. "Roselina Emerald Parker! I know you are upset but you need to stop complaining. Most girls would love to live in California, so why do you complain?" she asks me bothered by my "attitude". "Mom you know why I'm complaining do you know what it's like to move away from your best friends? No you don't because you never moved from the house you grew up in until you got married!" I instantly regretted my words. My eyes all of a sudden became blurry, I remembered all of the times I had with my best friend's. One salty tear rolled down my cheek. "Sweety...I'm...I'm sorry, but don't worry this is for the best." she says and gives me a hug.

We arrive at the airport and we take all our suitcases out of the car. Rolling my suitcase down the airport's hallways make me sad, usually when I did this we were going on vacation. I always knew we would come back but now, I know I'll most likely never come back.

Entering the plane it smells like popcorn. Must be the peanuts. I take a seat where my parents tell me to next to a window. Then Allison sits next to me than my mom, and my dad in a seat behind us with another couple. I stare out the window as we begin going higher and higher. The earth seems to be getting farhter away with each minute. In the clouds it doesn't seem white and foggy, infact it's super clear. I look down to the ground and it just looks like a map like if I were staring at a map.

The whole flight I just watch The Voice and The X-Factor. Until finally the captain of the plane announces something over the speakers of the airplane. "Ladies and gentlemen we are starting our descent down to the Los Angeles Airport please strap on your seatbelts and thank you for flying with us." I hear Allison giggle. I look over at her "What?" I ask looking weirdly at her. "He said gentle...men." She bursts out laughing. I roll my eyes. "Your so weird." I mumble.

The AC blows into my face as soon as we enter the airport. I look around there's a huge lit up sign that says LAX outside that you can see through the huge glass windows. I'm amazed at how beautiful it is but I'm a little upset my bestfriends can't be seeing this.

"Over here girls, this is the limo we're taking to our new home!" My mom says excited. I stare at the limo and wonder how they could afford it. I get in still astonished. The inside of the limo is so comfy looking and is comfy. The inside of the limo is dark and on the ceiling of the limo it has a mini disco  and two little t.v.'s. The seats hold about 8 people beacause 4 seats are face each other on both sides. The outside of the limo is white to make it different from other limo's and the windows are outlined with silver. 

After riding in it for what seemed like forever we finally got to a beautiful house. It was my grandma's old house. The house is modern and it has a few big glass windows that look into the kitchen and livingroom. I get out and run to the front door mom gave me the keys so I just put in the keys and turn the key then I jiggle the door knob and the door burst opens almost making a dent in the wall. I walk towards the back of the house and on my right there is a white spiral staircase leading to the second floor. There is a glass door that goes into the backyard. I open the door and see there is just a hot tub in a corner of the backyard and the rest is just grass and a basket ball court with one hoop. Good thing we brought a trampoline.

Rushing back to the limo to help with the stuff we brought well a little bit of what we brought. I bring it into the hallway in the first floor. Then I just go upstairs to explore and choose my bedroom. The upstairs has another backyard or well balcony with a pool a pool that is pretty big and already has 6 pool chairs and an old rusted grill. I walk back inside and see 5 doors the color silver on the outside. I open each door and see 1 bathroom and 4 bedrooms 2 master like bedrooms and 2 smaller bedrooms. I decide to take one of the master bedrooms so I rush downstairs and get my suitcases and put it in one of the master bedrooms. 

The two huge storage train carts arrive with all of our stuff in the drive way. My dad asks Allison and I to help him take things out of the train carts. While my mom unpacks our suitcases in our new rooms. This is going to be a long day.

"Hey Rose come in here please!" I hear my mom yell from the kitchen where she is putting away things and cleaning. "Ya mom?" I ask while coming in. "I just want to let you know to set up your alarm clock for six in the morning you are starting school tomorrow." She says simply and I stare at her and my jaw drops to the ground. "TOMORROW?! I thought I would have atleast a week before going to school!" I yell still shocked. "What would you do anyways after we get everything unpacked and organized?" She asks me and stops cleaning the counter to look at me. I stay silent not knowing what to say. "Get to bed it's getting late and you have to wake up early." I sigh and rush up the stairs and to my semi unpacked room. I lay on my bed not even changed into my pajamas and set my alarm. Why did we have to move?

A/N: Hey everybody I know this chapter took really long but I wanted it to be good so I really hope you liked it. By the way the picture of the pool is what the balcony second floor pool looks like and sort of what the house looks like too by the way it's only what the pool looks like not other things like there is no pool chairs or grill.
