"This is it. This is the end of the line."
Well, this is it, the day of the 'big move' me, my mom and twin brother Daniel are moving from Newark, New Jersey to Reseda, a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California.
Daniel and I are going to be seniors in a new high school, and our mom is trying for a new job in some computer thing that I don't think even she understands what it is.
"You're telling me" Daniel muttered to himself as he sat still in his seat not wanting to get out, unlike me, I couldn't wait to get out into the sun and work on my tan.
I glanced out of the window of my mom's 1969 Chevy station wagon, which was so beyond repair, I saw nothing but palm trees and coconuts, which means eternal summer.
I love summer, the warm breeze, never being cold even at night, and the long days, but being half Italian, it's nothing unusual to enjoy the summer unless you're Daniel who likes the winter.
"Come on all hands on deck" Mom encouraged us as we got out of the car to start unpacking, Daniel struggling with his bike and I was grabbing the luggage.
"We gotta get this thing unloaded before it sinks," Ma joked as she looked up at the sky smiling softly, making me sigh contentedly to myself; she's finally happy with her life. No looking back now.
"Look at those palm trees! Damn, do you know what that means?" Ma calls out to us excitedly, but my twin looks unenthusiastic as he struggles with his bike.
Daniel looks up at the palm trees at the instance of our mother "Yeah, watch out for falling coconuts," he replied scornfully making me roll my eyes.
"Wiseguy-" Ma laughs lightly smacking my brother "-No more Newark winters!" I could help but smile at the thought, but I knew my twin would have something to say about that.
"I like winters ma" He replied to her like a petulant child. "Oh, you like sore throats? You like frozen toes?" Mom asked rhetorically, winking at me as she knew she was always right.
"I don't like smog" Daniel replied in the same reprimanding tone as I huffed it seemed like one of us would always be unhappy with something, it must be hard have a set of twins so different to each other.
Mom picked up one of the smaller boxes with the laundry stuff in it and gave us both a look. "Did I tell you about the pool here?" she inquired, trying to bait us into being happy with uprooting our lives.
"Just about 100 times, ma, "I told with a knowing smile, nothing could get my mom down from this happy high. She really thinks this is the best day of her life, but nothing ever goes to plan for the LaRusso family.
"Okay, so make it 101" She laughed, walking towards the worn-looking apartment complex. "Open your eyes, my darling twins. This is the Garden of Eden".
