Over a million times, we've moved just so no one knows. How annoying is that?! This time, we have moved to the awesome state of ... LA! So once again, I have to replace friends and start again. It can't be too bad for Ariana and Frankie because they are adults but, unfortunately, I'm not.

Today is the first day of my new school - at home. I'm home schooled but even still I have to use a different name and remain concealed from the word in the basement where there is no windows. During my hours, no one is allowed down there so my tutor doesn't find out.

My new tutor, whose name is Ms Jones, is really young and gentle. She makes every lesson fun so that I enjoy school. We have a load of lessons but Ms Jones always make sure the most fun ones at the end of the day and the most tedious at the start.

"Complete sections 1, 2 and 3 please, Lisa," Ms Jones instructed.

"Sections 1, 2 AND 3? That's a lot!" I argued.

"What a shame," Ms Jones responded, "but that is what your mother told me. The quicker you get it done, the sooner we move on. Okay?"

"Alright!"

With haste, I picked up my pencil and messily scribbled down the answers. Ms Jones told me to write neater but I rudely ignored her. After all, the quicker I get it done, the sooner we move on!

Finally, 'school' finished and Ms Jones - who had been surprisingly grumpy - left the house through the basement door. As soon as she had gone, I ran upstairs to announce she had left. At that second, guitar amplifiers blared, TVs were blast to full volume and radios were played.
