-------------------------------------------

When we arrived in Bournemouth, we stopped to eat at a local McDonald's. I haven't eaten all day, and I just love McDonald's.

I have a week to settle in and then I start school on a Tuesday. 1 week should be enough to unpack and visit some places, right?

I now lived in a huge 3 story house, with a private swimming pool in the garden. The garden was huge itself and had a little woodland at the end, that I know my cat would just love!

I had a choice of 5 rooms and of course I picked the attic. It was the biggest and roomiest of all the rooms. Plus it a window seat, which reminds me of my old room back in Coventry.

The walls in the attic were already painted a light pink, with one of the walls being white. Close to the window seat, I saw a glass door that lead to the balcony.

I stood outside to notice I had a perfect view of the beach from here and the park next to it. I saw the beach was busy with people, it was a good; sunny day to be at the beach.

Many tourist were walking around taking photos of everything around them. I remember when I first came here being fascinated by everything around me.

Me and Nath were always here together, we explored every little corner of both the beach and park. Even the town. Just thinking about him, made me miss him already. Why couldn't he just moved with me?!

My dad moved my bed to the attic, all my belongings and furniture was already here. Now all I had to do was organise it to how I wanted it to be. Setting my rounded bed in the corner near the balcony. There was also a plug right next to the balcony door, so that would be perfect for my phone charger.

After I was done moving around my furniture, I got to the boxes and started unpacking my clothes. Folding them or hanging the up on hangers and into the wardrobe. After the clothes I unpacked most of the photos, books and other things that where in my bedroom.

Now that we had a bigger house my mom wanted to go out shopping for new furniture and garden tools. She wanted to drag me along but I refused and told her, I'll be at the beach.

Gladly avoiding going to IKEA, I walked out the house making sure I had my new keys. I walked out and walked down the two roads to the beach.

The beach was quite windy and I had to walk down the massive cliff that lead to the beach. Well, the cliff was probably there to stop the flooding of the town if there ever was an erosion and of course it wasn't man - made. But it did have man - made stairs, lifts and other attractions built on the side.

Walking down the the steps to the very bottom of the beach was tiring, I felt like collapsing and sleeping

Walking down the the steps to the very bottom of the beach was tiring, I felt like collapsing and sleeping. Yes, I am a very lazy person. Especially that I just moved and unpacked most of my stuff.

I walked over the small Biking road also where the little car train goes by on very busy days like these. When
I crossed, I took off my shoes and socks to not get any sand on them. 

I walked down to the sea, smelling the fresh sand underneath my feet. The small, crystal waves moved up and down creating a 'shhhh' sound. I could feel the warmth of the blazing sun on my body. My arms being most affected by it.

Since I wore a black and white striped tank top, with grey shorts that had bright pink stripes on the side, my body would be quite tanned. Also realising I didn't put any sun lotion on I may end up with a rash.

I walked along the sea shore, letting my feet be covered by the waves. I had my white air max with my socks inside in my left hand and my Phone in my right. Walking towards the main attractions that were on the beach.

Instead of walking right to the middle of the attractions where it was filled with people, I decided to sit at the edge of the water, just where it couldn't reach more than my toes. I opened FaceTime and immediately called Nath.

While the FaceTime was ringing, I took the surroundings and relaxed to the sound of the waves and sea gulls, trying to block out any screams and shouts of people around me. Then I noticed Nath didn't answer the call, nor hung up. Guess he must be busy at the moment. They're all together, hanging out in the cafe and in town, I shouldn't worry or upset them at the moment. They're probably enjoying their time together, I should just do the same! But I can't... What's stopping me?...

Wondering about what my friends were doing, how they were feeling and etc, I never noticed someone walk up to me. "Hey can you hear me?... I said hellllloooo?" I looked up to see a boy, just the same age as me, with dirty blonde hair and heavenly blue eyes, standing, looking down at me.

"Hmm?" I wondered what he said, whilst trying to fix my mind process.

"I said hi, and are you alright you look down?" He asked sitting down next to me.

Giving him a small smile I said, "I'm okay thanks for worrying."

"Okay?..." There was some silence between us until he spoke up again, "I'm Ryder, what about you?"

"Luna." Not bothering to look up at him I replied. Ryder? Not a name I would've recognised... Maybe his a tourist?

" Luna, nice name. Say.. Are you new here? I don't think I've seen you around?"

"Y-yeah, actually I just moved here, but I know my way around I came here all the time for the summer and during school breaks."

Ryder looked at me again, this time I looked back at him. We made eye contact for a minute before a girl with Light pink hair started shouting at Ryder to come back. That's when I realised what I've been doing and looked away blushing. "S-sorry." I stuttered embarrassed.

"I've... Got to go, I'll see you around, Luna." With that he walked off to who I was guessing his group of friends.

I got up picking up my shoes noticing a folded up white piece of paper inside. When I opened it, there was a number and a name written down.

Ryder ~ 07336 577930
{Made up number, don't bother calling it}

I smiled to myself. Now I know what he meant by 'I'll see you around'. I walked back home thinking about what happened today. Some memorise flew past my Brain of me and my friends back in Coventry. I guess it really is a new journey. It's time to move on, maybe not entirely, but move on and start a new beginning.
