* Arabella's P.O.V  *

I woke up like I always do - late. I hate alarm clocks so I never am able to wake up when I need to. except today, I didn't want to wake up. not really. last night my parents told me and my sisters we were moving to Austin, Texas. HALF WAY ACROSS THE WORLD. I don't have many friends at my school. but the ones I did have I sure as heck didn't want to lose them.

I get up and shove on an old grey sweater and a pair of black jeans. my hairs a mess so I shove it up in a messy bun. its Saturday so I don't have school but I'm going to go to my friend Ellie's house and tell her that I'm leaving, tomorrow.

===============

after some tearful goodbyes and hugs we decided to watch Netflix. Ellie has the biggest obsession for pretty little liars and as much as I hate it, ill let her have this one.     

"I'm gonna miss you"

the very words that brought tears to my eyes. Ellie had been my best friend for practically my whole life, yet I had never seen her cry. except now. Tears were suddenly threatening to fall from her hazel eyes and her golden hair was now covering her face. I pulled her in for a hug and we must have sat there telling each other we will miss each other for twenty minutes straight. I promised to call everyday and video chat when I had a chance. this seemed to lift her spirits.

I went to sleep at 7 that night cause I had to get up at four in the morning. what's wrong with flights in the middle of the day? I will never know. As I got ready for bed I took a quick look around. this is it.

================

the airport was near to empty. the sound of my family's 5 old suitcases screeching along the flooring was echoing the air, bringing more attention to us than I would have liked. both my sisters were on there phones and my parents were getting coffee. I took out my sketchbook and started to draw my surroundings. after what felt like hours we were called to board our plane. cant lie, I'm scared. very scared. all I can do is put in my earphones, listen to 5 seconds of summer and try and fall asleep.

"wake up bells. we gotta go."

already? I look out the small window next to me and soak in the sight of the scenery. It was gorgeous. the blue sky, the green grass and the heat was something I was most definitely not used to but I liked it.

the car ride was actually amazing. whilst listening to 'life of the party' by Shawn Mendes I looked out the window leading up to my new home. there was people, different people. there was buildings, different buildings. things I've never seen before. maybe this want so bad.

"welcome home" my dads tone was excited and upbeat. something in it made me know that he loved this place, this made me love it too.

the old house looked like it had seen some better days but it wasn't all bad. the porch was painted white with a tattered old swing on it. The creaky floorboards felt like they were going to give way as I stepped on them but they never did. Our new home was basically in the middle of nowhere except for one other house, similar to mine about a five minute walk away. a perfect time for adventuring for me...

"hey mum can I go on a walk?" I as, hoping to god she won't tell me I need to unpack.

"yeah sure, just be careful" 

SCORE.

"I will" I take off down a random path to clear my head.

I breathe in the fresh air and let it fill my lungs. my legs stretching as I walk and my arms swinging at my side.  I take my hair down from its bun and let the wind brush against it. I feel totally at peace until I hear a voice from the distance

"there's people, there's never people here. I live in the middle of no where"

a tall, tanned, curly haired boy was walking up the path. dog leash in one hand and a vlogging camera in the other. I wanted to go talk to him but something was holding me back. a little bit of anxiety flooded through me and I had to get away. so I ran.
