City Streets

Chapter II

Darkness, it's all I can see besides the faint glow of a yellow light squeezing between the gap separating my eye lids.  My mind seems drowsy as I begin to wake to the familiar chirping of my alarm clock. The loud chirp buzzes in my ears as my eye lids begin to lift themselves up, showing me the familiar surroundings of my bedroom.
Lifting my head my long pale hair dangles over my face, blocking half of my vision before I swept my hair behind my ear.
Turning my head I look out my window, It takes my breath away to the crystal waters of the beaches in the near by distance. Taking a deep breath I take myself out of bed and onto my feet, a grateful smile planted on my face, ready to face a beautiful day I faced everyday.

Like I alway would I got dress, looked in the mirror to see the same person I would everyday, brushed my hair, put my contacts in and race downstairs to meet my parents at the breakfast table.
"Morning!" I shouted as I jumped of the second step as always.
"Morning honey."
"Morning Jose." Replied both my parents as my mother laid out a bowl of cereal before me.
"You exited for your last day of school?" Asked my mother, a beautiful smile stretched on her face.
Almost choking on my meal from the word my mum spoke I quickly swallowed to start my sentence.
"WHAT!" I replied.
"Oh didn't your father tell you, we're moving to London."
"WHAT, SINCE WHEN, HANG ON WHY!!"
"Remember three weeks ago, on Friday night when you were on your computer."
"Oh." I remembered that I had my earphones in but I faintly heard what my dad had said that night. I could remember faintly hearing dad walk in and telling me that he got a new job, I guess I wasn't really paying much attention.
But how could I have been so oblivious, there were boxes placed in different parts of the house and mum had been teaching me how to speak English for the past few weeks, and I thought we were going on a trip somewhere.
"So when are we moving?" I asked.
"We are moving next week on Monday which will give us plenty of time to pack the rest of our stuff."
Tears begin to build in my eyes, I couldn't understand how they could be so calm about this, they didn't realise that they were leaving everything they had behind, all the places that kept treasurable memories, all the friends they had would be left in an instant, all the amazing things just gone to be replaced.

As I walked out the door a single tear rolled down my cheek, my mind seemed like a silhouette, all the thoughts just seemed to turn my mind blank.
I shook my head, clearing my mind as I wiping the small tears from my eyes.
"I'll be fine" I told myself. "I'll make new friends and my new school will be great."
One side of me was telling myself that it would be a fun experience to move to London where my other half was telling me that it was a horrible idea, I considered agreeing with the negative side of me of course, I mean, there's a whole other language, currency and new places that I've never even been to, things just seem like a hive filled with buzzing thoughts bouncing inside my thoughts.

Walking down the street was as cheerful as always, the nice people working in the shops would always recognise me and would casually say hello as I would walk past, sometime one of them would even give a little snack as I'd walk past, my neighbour was great, but it was a shame I had to all loose that in a week.
