4:15 San Diego, California
Denise POV**
We had eighteen minutes before landing but we were in California already, I knew that when they turned the air conditioning on. I was next to Lalo who was editing some videos and sleeping continuously the whole four hours, since I sat next to the window he said he would pay me ten dollars if I get some shots of the citys and shit. I got some good shots then got bored so I started trolling him by taking pictures of him sleeping and editing instead.

I didn't notice how much time I wasted fooling around until one of the flight attendant ladys said to put on our seat belts threw the speaker. I have to put this ugly's seatbelt on now or... I punched Lalo awake so he can put on his seatbelt because I'm to lazy to go threw all that struggle. Once we got off the plane it was cool inside the airport but I knew once we went outside it would be hot. I am so glad I wore this crop top under or I would die of heatstroke I quickly took off my hoodie and tied it around my waist, looked for my luggage and called a taxi for us since my parents didn't know English. " Cuando llega el mendigo taxista Denise?" Asked my irritated mom " ya llevamos esperando quince minutos!" She basically yelled at me " ya orita llega somos seis personas ocupan un taxi grande para nosotros madre." I said calmer then I thought

I saw a SUV taxi come up and asked the driver if it was for us and it surely was. The driver was finee af Emiliano caught on what I was thinking by the look of my face " cochina he is like 40." He glared at me " mentira tiene como 20 no vez?" I said then hit his shoulder Yolo I'm going to ask him how old he is " Aye excuse me how old are you?" I asked with a smile " I'm 19 miss if I may ask why? " he turned to look at me oh shit what do I say!? Because...you look to young to be a taxi driver? I answered more like asked him
He gave me a chuckle before opening the door for me signaling for me to get in which I did with my mother following in. My mom and I just sat in the car while the men were trying to fit the luggage in the back even Emmanuel who was more like bothering then helping.

5:37
By the time we arrived to our new house I was kinda shocked that the fact it was WAY bigger than our last house. This was the first time I actually saw the house I never really bothered to look at where we where living but I love it. The house was grayish color on the outside, the inside had four bedrooms upstairs and two new rooms downstairs in the basement which were recently added other than the laundry room, two bathrooms and one in the master bedroom, a large kitchen with an island, dining room was medium sized and a pretty large living room. Every thing seemed so big because it was empty but 20 minutes after I was done exploring the house and choosing my bedroom which was upstairs with every one else except Lalo who has to go in the basement again because there was no room upstairs for him. The moving trucks came with our new and old stuff and helped us settle in.

8:24pm San Diego
Almost three and a half hours later mostly every thing was unpacked and placed where it belongs. I was face timing Sam then I got hungry and Sam had to go to sleep since she was two hours ahead. My mom decided to go grocery shopping for the week and I went with her to get to know around a little bit. We passed a school and my heart dropped I totally forgot I had to go back to hell but it's a new hell, with new people and new problems " ohhhhh common mateeee." I whined as we finished passing the school "que trías tu loca?" My mom asked " cuando tengo que ir a la escuela?" I asked in a baby tone " Tomorrow." She simply answers with her accent. I have to tomorrow already? Pero porque? I just got here man. Then I remembered my mom some how got everything ready in San Diego while still being in Chicago.

While we were shopping my mom had bumped into her old school best friend. That's great my mom already has a friend before me...again I let them catch up with each other while I left to look for the junk food section because that's my favorite section. After a while I called my mom to see where she was cause I always lose her in grocery stores and told me to go to the dairy section I made my way back with three bags of chips, two chocolate chip cookie boxes and other snacks. Getting junk food was always my job as I found my mom I laid all the things I got carefully down on the cart and my mom just looked at me like she won a million dollars. " que paso?" I asked confused " la señora con que estaba hablando hace rato era mi mejor amiga en la secundaria y ahora tiene un hijo de dieciséis años." She answered quickly but I still understood what she said " y porque estás tan contenta? " I asked still confused " les arreglamos una tarde juntos!" She said gladly I was stood there shocked,  she set me up with her friends son? Wtf
