"Skylar.... Come on I can't carry you like Andrew did" I hear my mom whine. I groan and sit up. I rub the sleep out of my eyes and slowly stand from my seat. My mom chuckles at me and grabs her bag from the department from above us. I grab my bag and no music is playing in my ears anymore. I check my phone to see it's dead. "Damn it" I mumble and my mom gives me that stare. I look down and giggle quietly. We walk off the plane and enter the airport. My ears are flooded with Australian accents. I smile and drag my bag through the crowded airport. We walk over to the bag claim area and wait for our suitcases. I see mine and reach to grab it. I see a hand reach for the bag next to me and draw my hand back. "Sorry" I say quickly and hear a girl chuckle. "You're okay love" I hear her say in a British accent. "I'm Carter" She says as she pulls her bag off the rack. "Skylar" I reply as I take mine off. "Where are you from?" She asks. "Arizona. Armpit of hell..." I say and she laughs. "How about you? " My voice comes out quiet and she replies, "London". I nod my head and we start talking more. "What part of Australia are you going to move too?" She asks pulling out her phone. "Sydney" U reply. She quickly looks up and squeals. "Oh my gosh me too!!" I giggle and hear my mom call my name. "Can I have your number?" She asks and I nod. "My phone is dead so just write your number on my hand. I will text you when its charged." She nods and quickly writes her number down on my arm. She handed me her phone so I quickly type in my number and we hug each other goodbye. My mom smiles at me as I turn around. "Who was that?" She says as we walk out of the airport. I smile and turn to look at her. "My new friend Carter..."

About 20 minutes later we are in a car on our way to Sydney. I pull out my small Ipod and put my ear buds in the auto jack. I go through the songs and pick 'Do I wanna know?' By the Artic Monkeys. I rest my head on the window and watch all the trees that we pass by. I feel the car jerk to a stop after a while and see we are parked outside of a Burger King. I cheer and get out of the car. I order a small chicken nuggets with a cup of water. Another thing you should know about me, is that ever since my da died, I got into the state of Anorexia and Depression. I wouldnt eat as much and I self harmed. Of course my mother didn't know. Shes never home so how would she? Anyways, we finished eating and Mom tells me that we were already in Sydney. I smile and get back into the car as we drive to the new house. We get there soon enough and as we step out, my mouth drops. It was a gorgeous house... I look to my left to see another house that said Sold. Another truck pulls up and a family steps out. First, the mother from the passenger seat, then the father from the drivers seat, then the mother pulls out a little boy from the back seat. He looked a lot like Carter... I turn my attention back to the house but hear the truck door slam again. My eyes widen as I see Carter step out. I run over to her and she sees me. We both have the same reaction. We were gonna be neighbors! I look to my right to see a boy who looks about 18 step out of the house on the right. He looks over to us and glares. He had brown hair with blonde highlights, chocolate brown eyes, and plump lips. He was wearing a black muscle tee with the arms cut low. He had on black skinny jeans and black converse. What grabbed my attention was all his piercings and tattoos though.....
