"Hey Lizzy. How are you today baby?" My mum asked as I was coming down for dinner. "Mum! How many times have I told you not to call me Lizzy?! I hate it when you call me like this."

"Sorry Liz I forgot about it. It's just that I've always called you like that! And now since Ni- he left you don't want to. It's really difficult." I nobbed but then sighed because of the almost sound of his name. "He still hasn't said a word to you, has he?"

"Nope"

"Sorry darling.You know that I tried to speak to him but-"

"It's not your fault mum. It's not his fault either. I should have known that he wouldn't want to be my friend after he became famous.." I choked as I said that. Only his name could bring me in the verge of crying.

"Baby.. It's not your fault. You're absolutely amazing. You're beautiful and you're smart and you're funny too. He might not be able to speak to you now. He might not be aloud to. Yes, he is famous. But what about it? You are his best friend and he is yours. I bet he can't speak to you because he is busy. But he will. Remember my words. He will."

I nobbed my head as I was already crying. " Can I go upstairs mum? I want some alone time."

"Ok babe. Go.But promise me you will eat later."

"I promise"

I said and headed to my bedroom.

Ugh.. I really hate my parents. Why did we have to move? I've lost my friends,my best friend. They know that is hard for me to make new friends. They know that I'm shy and I only speak up when it's needed. It's going to be hell at school. I know it. They're all going to hate me and I'm not going to make any friends.

"LIZZY! Will you come down already? Our neighbours have come to welcome us." My dad literaly yelled.

"COMING." I walked down the stairs and I see a woman in her 30s with two boys beside her.

"Hello sweety. I'm Maura and this is my sons" She gave me her hand and I shook it.

"Hi. I'm Greg and this is Niall." The older boy told me. "I'm Analise but I go by Liz or Lizzy as you've might noticed" Niall cracked a toothy smile and Greg shook his head and laughed.

"So you moved here from London?" Maura asked my mother. "Yes. We're here for a day and we knew noone untill you knocked our door!"

"Haha.Oh, here. I've made you some apple pie for welcoming you to our neighbourhood. We live at the house down the street."

My mum smiled at her "It wasn't necessary"

"I wanted to"

"Well we have to go. I'm sure we will see each other soon." She said as she walked to the door. Greg gave me a short hug and said bye to me but Niall..

Niall hugged me like he wasn't going to see me ever again. "Bye Lizzy.I'm sure we're going to be great friends" He whispered in my ear while he was hugging me and chuckled. "Bye Niall. See you soon."
