I didn't know what to feel anymore happy, sad, upset, or greatful. As my dad was driving and my mom in the passenger seat sleeping for 5 hours now, all I could think about were my friends back in Houston, Texas. It was really hard to say goodbye because I have been raised there for 15 years and now we had to move to Miami, Florida.

My dad got a new job and a new house of our own so we had to move in with him. My older brother, Alex, is listening to music and also sleeping. I think he also is sad because he had a girlfriend and they had been dating for 6 months. He truly loved her so it must have been hard. My little sister, Angel, was eating a lollipop quietly and my other little brother, Dom, is eating a bag of Cheetos.

We have a lot of family members in Miami so I guess that's a good thing, but I was nervous because I haven't seen them for the last past 5 years. We were just arriving to Miami, and now we were on our way to our new home. Angel and Dom were crying because they were tired of a 15 hour drive. Juan was already awake and was trying to play around with Dom to make him shut up.

We arrived to a big neighborhood with a lot of big, nice two story houses. I was looking around to see if there was any hot guys, but sadly there were only little kids playing around. We finally arrived to our new house. It was a big two story house with a big front and backyard and our big family was waiting outside to welcome us. I was excited but still sad, because I would have to start a new beginning here at Miami. I would have a new school, new home and new friends. In the back of my head I was still thinking of all my fun and unforgettable moments I lived with my friends. I wouldn't see them again until I turned 18 which is 3 years away from now.

We got out the car and my cousins ran up to me yelling "Welcome to your new home Bella!" I hugged all my cousins and greeted them and my cousin Sarah asked me, "Can we play soccer ?"
"Of course..."
"Bella come over here" I heard my parents calling me. "We'll all play soccer once I finish greeting everyone else and putting all our things inside the house." I finished greeting my cousins, uncles, aunts, and god parents.

I went back to the car to get my suitcases and walked inside the house. "Wow" I said softly as I looked around the house up and down, side by side, angle by angle carefully. I went through each room in the house and I got to choose my own room. My room was big enough for me, it had a full bathroom and a big closet. I looked through the window and I could see my front yard along with my family. I went to the other window across my room and I saw my backyard. I started to imagine a big pool there on a hot sunny day.

I put my stuff down and went back outside to talk to Sarah. When I saw her, she was with a guy holding hands, and I had never seen him before. He looked tall, hispanic, with puffy hair pulled in a pony tail.

While I was approaching to her, she saw me and ran up to me and gave me a hug. "Hey Bella I was looking for you, where were you?" she said as I was trying to keep my balance trying not to fall. "I was inside checking the house and my room out."
"Ok, well let me introduce you to my boyfriend Richard!" she said hugging him and taking him towards me. He took his hand out so that I could shake it so I did and I said, "Hi, nice to meet you I'm Bella, Sarah's cousin."
"Nice meeting you too Bella I'm Richard Camacho." I pulled my hand back and told Sarah, "I'll be right back" and I went inside to get a drink of water.

When I went back outside I passed by Alex and I asked him, "How do you like the house and everything so far?"
"Its ok I guess Ima go choose my room, be careful I don't want you flirting with any guy. Got it?"
"Whatever! Shut up! It's not my fault your still sad that you don't get to see your girlfriend, you'll meet new girls here don't worry." I responded trying to be nice.

I went back to where Sarah was and all of a sudden I saw a group of 4 guys coming towards Richard and Sarah. I started to walk slowly and looked at the 4 guys who where tall and pretty cute. Two of them where in skateboards and the other two were on bicycles. I'm guessing they are Richard's friends because they were saying, "Wassup Bro!" and doing these hand shakes.

I turned around to go back inside the house in my room. Then suddenly I heard a whistle from behind me. I stopped and squinted my eyes a little and opened them back again and slowly turned back to see who it was. It was one of the four guys and Sarah was calling me over. My heart was beating fast and I thought to myself, "Maybe this new beginning won't be bad after all."
