Chapter Two

"Plane landing in ten minutes please remain seated until said" The ladies voice said over the mircrophone

I looked out the window to see the puffy white clouds in the clear night sky. Yes it's like two thirty in the morning here in Australia and when I left England it was about four o'clock in the afternoon. I stepped out of the plane and into the airport. People were everywhere. I had been told that I had to catch a taxi to dad's address which I got in a text message.

The air around me was hot outside then again it is mid spring here and Australia is a very hot continent. The taxi pulled up along side of me and I jumped in and told him the address. I decided to send a message to mum and Hailey to say I have arrived safe and sound.

To: Hails xo & Mum ;)

Arrived safe and sound. It's really hot here my trackies and hoodie is making me cook even though it's like 2:30pm :D can't wait I see you in six months xox

I locked my iPhone then threw it into my laptop bag and waited for the taxi to arrive at my dads.

"Thanks" I said sweetly to the taxi driver once he pulled out the front of a house

The house was massive! A two story house made out of white bricks. The windows are the sort of things that princess's have in their castles. I could see two balconies at the front of the house. The white wooden fence stood around the perimeter of the house.

I opened the small garden gate and wandered up the pavered path up to the door. I hit the doorbell and heard the chime ring through the house. A light came on and reflected out into the lawn out the front. The door opened and revealed a man.

A huge smile came across his face and pulled me in a hug. I awkwardly stood there and waited for him to let me go.

"Beaunka" he whispered he held my by the shoulders and away from him so he could study me

"Hey" I replied

"You have your mums looks" he said

I gave a weak smile. I always get told that, I personally don't see it but everyone says I look just like my mum but have the personality of my dad.

"Come in come in" he said standing out of the doorway and gestured me inside.

I walked though the door and re-adjusted my backpack on my back and hand bag on my arm then picked up my suitcase. The house was amazing from the out but the inside? Was 10x better! It was nearly all white or cream colour, the floor was wooden but in the occasional rooms there was carpet.

I bet your tired" Dad said easily

I gave a small nod of my head still taking everything in.

"Here I'll take you to your room"

I followed him up the stairs and down a hallway and he opened a door to reveal a huge room! My room in England was pretty small just big enough to fit a single bed, a cupboard and also a wardrobe and desk.

This bedroom had a double bed in it, a small single to one side and walk in wardrobe a desk and two cupboards and could fit more it. It was simple and that's what I liked. On one wall was a pair of huge clear glass door that obviously led out onto a balcony.

"Your mum said green was your favourite colour so I painted the roof green and the running boards and then the bed is obviously green" Dads voice broke my thoughts

"Yeah it is" I smiled

"Here just dump your bags here and then go to bed if you want" He said "did you eat? I don't want to starve you on the first few minutes of you being here"
