Underwater (Jaden Smith Fanfiction) **RE-UPLOADED**

Prologue

Aubri

Something’s up. I wash my hands and come into the dining room to see that my mom has brought home dinner from the Cheesecake Factory, yum. This’ll be interesting. I sit down, grab my plate, and start to crush. My mom comes from the kitchen, takes a deep breath, and says, “Aubri, we’re leaving Chesterfield and moving to California. Pack all your clothes and things that you want to bring with you. I found a job there and we have to be out of this apartment in three days.

Oh, splendid! I’ll just get my things and we’ll be on our way. “WHAT?!?” I screamed. I’ve been living in Virginia all my life. Quiet, spaced out, boring Virginia. This can’t be right. I’m still in my bed, knocked out. I’m going to wake up and this will all be just a dream. “Uh, hello? So you acting like you can’t hear now? Start packing!” My mom said smacking me on the leg. This was real.

"But mom! Where are we going to stay? What school am I going to? What if I don’t fit i-?" That’s when I stopped. School…People I’ll never get to see again. My friends, close friends, my boyfriend… Shit, Daric!How am I going to tell them I’m moving? She broke my thoughts by saying, " Don’t you worry about all that, I bought a place in Los Angeles. you just need to get your stuff ready by the door on Wednesday night. We’re flying out in the morning."

Wednesday night?! That’s 48 hours! This is really happening. Cali, though? Wow. I’ve always planned to move there after I graduated, but I just turned 15. Plus I’m not going to be able to stay over at my dad’s anymore. I love my father. He never gets mad. I guess you can call me daddy’s little girl or whatever.

"Does dad know?" I asked . " of course! Just because your father and i are divorced and don’t necessarily get along doesn’t mean that I’m going to tow you with me across the country without his consent . Not that it matters"  she muttered. That makes sense, but I still have to ask.

" What did he say?" she hesitated for a second, then goes, "He said it was fine and he’ll try to visit maybe a month or two after we settle down. If not you’ll be visiting him during breaks." I guess that’s okay. I doubt I’ll see him much. I go to my room and start to pack my things, then my phone vibrates and starts playing " Shakespeare " by Jaden Smith. I love him. Every time I feel upset or just need to chill, I go on my iPhone, play the Cool Tape, and just zone out. But back to reality, I get a text from my cousin and best friend, Lane, a super model,who actually lives in LA.. Small world.

I open the text, ” Hey, my mom just got off the phone with yours && I can’t wait to see you! You’re gonna love it here, trust me.” Lane is probably the coolest person I know. She knows how to party and can dress. “Me neither! I’m coming over as soon as I land!” I replied and immediately got an answer. “Course, maybe I can even sign you to the modeling agency. Good looks run in the fam!” she joked. I was psyched she even offered. “Lol, sounds good. gtg pack :/ love ya,” I quickly replied.

After packing a few boxes, I took a shower, brushed my teeth, did all that stuff then went straight to bed. I contemplated telling my boyfriend and friends or just not saying anything and disappearing without mentioning not coming back. It’s about me though, right?
