"Hey mum, I'm home", I yell out to as I fling open the front door. Today has been a long day at school, first we had a test which I know I passed but tests all in all suck. I spilt chocolate milk all over my white uniform blouse which stained it and I forgot my homework which got me a detention. And I NEVER get detentions! So now I enter my house an hour later than normal and right now I just need sleep.
Jumping up the stairs I fall into my bed and just feel happy because I have my bed now and that's all I need. Knock knock.
"Hey sweetie can I talk to you"
"Sure just come in"
My heart immediately drops to the pit of my stomach as I see the look on my mum's face, she looks anxious. Then me being the paranoid person I am can't stop thinking.
Oh my god I probably left the stove on and burnt our kitchen.
No wait I totally left my data on all day and wasted all my credit.
"Stop overthinking honey you've done nothing wrong, I just have
something to tell you". Mum says clearly aware of my state of panic.
Phew
"Oh okay, what is it?" I reply with relief visible on my face.
"You're dad has been offered a new job".
Why was she so worried about that, that's great news!
"In America".
Oh my god.
OH MY GOD.
If you haven't already guessed I am not from America, in fact I am Australian born and raised. I love it here and living anywhere else sort of terrifies me.
My name is Julie Anderson and I am pretty average if you ask me. With my long brown hear reaching my waist and my style of clothing which consists of blue, black and white with hints of fandoms here and there. Because being a nerd is how I roll I own a lot of nerdy clothes and they're my life.
Being someone who hates change who was just told they're moving. HALFWAY ACROSS THE FREAKING WORLD! I was freaking out and that is the understatement of the year. I can't move to America, not when my whole life is here. My friends are here, my school is here, my social life is here, my entire existence is here.
I have a bad feeling about this.
