Smoke & shadows

I had this picture of America and Pencilvania to be a nice sunny place but it's not . Not to day anyway I drive along this long road with my family.the road is surrounded by trees and it was misty out side

My mum and dad have gotten a map out because they put the wrong place in the satnav . My brother Joseph was play super Mario on his 3D ds  and shouted and kick the chair when he lost .  I was sitting listening to music on true way trying to block out my surroundings.

We've come so far because of the huge job opening for my dad he's a architect and my mum works in his office trusts how they met but the company my dad has worked for sent him here this could be a big deal for my family so try dragged all of us here . I'm nearly 17 I wanted to stay in London my home with my grandad parents so I could finish school there . School in American seems more complicated.
I take out one of my ear phones
"Mum?" I ask
"Yes Ava what is it ?" She asks back bluntly
"Um , how much longer will it be until we're there ? " I ask she rolls her eyes at me
" that's what me and you dad have been trying to figure out for about ten minutes Ava when we know you'll know " she says turning around
"So David any idea of where to go " she asks my dad
"We'll look a head there's a police car pulled into the side we can just ask them " he's says
" okay pull over " she says back my dad pulls in towards the police car and my dad rolls down the window so does the police man in the other car
"Hi there officer were moving to Lakewood and into this house on George street and we've gotten lost could you give us direction " my dad ask
"Aw we've heard about your family's immagration here it's a small town you seen everyone knows everyone if you go straight you'll see the town sign and you'll be there and in the town there's signs it's not hard to find " he says back
"Thanks sir " my dads says and we pull away again about

Within ten minutes were at the sign that's reads
