After lots of hospital time, I was finally okay to go. We didn't bother packing many clothes because they said the weather was much different in California. I'd heard about it being different, but I didn't get to watch TV or listen to music. I always read because I got books from my school library.
I blink a tear away from my eyes, this is a new start. A NEW start. I'm going to make it count. I grabbed a magazine from the stack Mary had brought me for the trip. I opened one that said "Discover your style" I flipped through it and stopped on one that said 'Hipster'. Everything the model was wearing, I found appealing. I took a pen and put a small heart by the model. I wanted clothes like hers.
"So those are the clothes you like. Well, we can certainly do that." Mary said actually startling me. I thought she was asleep! She wrote something on a piece of paper. She looked up at me, and smiled before handing me an iPod touch that was a fifth-generation, and was pink. "All yours." She said smiling. "There are already some songs on it. Hope you don't mind. I took the liberty of adding some of Sammy's favorites. I nodded and started scrolling through them. I came to a stop when I saw an abnormal title. 'U.N.I. - Ed Shearn' I selected the song and heard it begin to play. I really loved hearing him sing.
U.N.I. ended over U.N.I.
and I said that's fine
but you're the only one that knows I lied
And those were the last words I heard before falling into a very deep, loving, peaceful, and addictive sleep.

I felt a jolt and opened my eyes. I was on the plane still and we were apparently landing. I grabbed the armrest. this is so scary! I shut my eyes and felt an elegant hand wrap around mine. It wasn't until the plane had landed that I opened my eyes to see it was Mary. She was giggling at my reaction and then quickly scolded herself, remembering why I had never been on a plane before.We got off the plane and I felt like I was pulled around in all different directions. Finally, I was sitting in the nicest car I've ever seen. Maybe it wasn't the best, I don't know. But I heard Doc say it was a Lexus 2013.
When the car stopped Mary and Doc got out. I looked out the window. We were at some really fancy building. Can't we just go home already? The driver opened my door.
I shook my head. "No, I'll just wait until we get home." I heard my voice come out tired and extremely slow. Chuckles came from the driver, Doc, and Mary. What are they laughing at? I felt my face turn the color of a stop sign.
"Hon, this is home," she said, gesturing toward the house.
What? What did she just say? My mouth dropped as I slowly got out of the car. Who are these people?
I was escorted inside and they told me that my belongings would be placed in my room. Not to mention a completely new wardrobe that was built from the still I hearted on the magazine. This was incredible.
"OH-EM-GEE! You must be Lucy! I'm gonna call you Lu okay? I like it, it's cute. I'm gonna take you to the skate park as soon as you get changed. I already got you a skateboard! This is gonna be great. I picked out some clothes for you to wear you are gonna look so hot in them! Put your hair in a side braid will ya? My group of friends kinda have a thing going that we wear a braid to the skate park! I know it's kinda lame, but it's whatever. Oh, I'm Sammy nice to meet you? I should have said that first. I'm sorry. Am I overdoing it? I'm just really excited to have a sister!" a girl said running down the main staircase and talking really quickly.
"Yes, I am Lucy, Call me Lu if you want. I've never had a nickname, so that sounds great! I love to skate! My board was broken recently when my mo- never mind. I'm really glad! I don't know about hot, but I'll definitely wear them, and of course, I'll put my hair in a side braid. I think it's cool to have a "thing". It's nice to meet you too, Sammy. I had a twin sister, but she di- You know what. I'm glad I have a sister now too. I'll see you after I get changed." I said countering everything she said in the exact order.
"Wow, you can keep up!" she exclaimed, as I walked past her to go up stairs. We both giggled as we walked upstairs, and she gave me directions to my room.
I walked into a room completely decorated in the style of Shabby Chic. I know this because there was a wall sticker above my bed that said so. I looked to my bed to see a black bralette with a floral pattern on it and a zipper up the middle, a cream-colored high waisted circle skirt, and mint green converse. I put the clothing on and put my hair into the side braid as instructed. Sammy was right when I fished I did look hot. (Picture of outfit attached!) (Sorry for people on mobile devices... I know you can't see it... just use your fantastic imagination babes!)
I turned to the door to see Sammy leaning against the door frame offering me a skateboard. I took it from her, a huge smile plastered on my face. I flipped it over to see a small floral print all over the bottom of the board. Best of all in big bold letters, HIPSTER is written, and then underneath in a cursive print and smaller font "for Lucy".
"For me?" My eyes began to water.
"Yes, for you," said Sammy softly
