Chapter One

"BEEP BEEP BEEP" the alarm went off

I jumped up, and the bright sunlight blinded my eyes.

"Uggh" I complained, as I got up to close the blinds. Then, I eased myself back into my bed

"It' time to wake up Miss Ellis !" my aunt Dani shouted from her room down the hall.

"But it's Saturday" I groaned to myself and smashed the snooze button killing the annoying beeps.

I grabbed the nearest pillow near me , and then hugged with it for warmth.

"Yess" I sighed in my relief. "Finally, some peace and quiet all to myself. "

I inhaled and exhaled, then slowly my vision started to fade as I closed my eyes to go back to sleep.

....

"ARIEL, GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED RIGHT NOW BEFORE I COME IN THERE" Aunt Dani threaten.

Then, suddenly I'm wide awake

The words "Before I come in there" coming from my aunts was not a warning . It was more like a threat

"I'M UP!" I yelled back, using my legs to kick the soft blanket off my body.

"NOW GET READY WE HAVE A LONG DAY TODAY " she reminded

I forced myself to rolled myself out of bed, and slowly sat up at the edge of the bed.

I looked at the clock

8:00 am
I now have exactly an hour before my aunt and I have to pick up my sister Elisa from the airport. She's coming from Orlando today to Los Angeles to pick me up, so I can come back to Orlando with her tomorrow.

Yeah, I know. Very Confusing. Let me explain

I been living with my Aunt Dani in Los Angeles for the past seventeen years of my life now.
I love living with my aunt 'cause she's great company and is my only family here in L.A . She works as a writer for a living, and tomorrow morning she's flying to the great city of Paris to do research for her upcoming book.

Did I mention this is going to be one long research? So she's going to be staying at Paris for 2 years at minimum.

Aunt Dani have invited me to come with her to Paris, but since I have to go through High school right now. I feel like attending a new school in a new continent is not the best options for my education right now.

Moving to a new school in France requires: Google translating my homework to French to English each night, getting annoy by snobs laughing about me and I would have no idea what they're saying because they are speaking in French, and being confused in every class because I have no idea what the teacher are saying also. So not really my thing

All of these problems are causes by languages differences.
Which my aunt don't have to deal with because of her fancy translator that will be by her side.

So the other option is being transported to live with the other only family member I have. The very lovely sister, Miss Elisa Ellis.

I stood up and started getting dress

I took my Pink Hello Kitty PJ's off, and decided to changed into my blue skinny jeans and a black crop top that was already laid on my drawers. For others, February might be a month where they freeze their butts off. But it's just mild here, so this outfit should be fine.

I can't imagine living in a place that get a harsh winter. So glad I'm going to live in Florida. Doesn't get too cold over there i heard.

I brushed my tangled brown hair, and then decided to put it in a messy bun to get it out of the way. I looked into the mirror at my drawer.
I examed my outfit.
It wasn't to fancy, but it wasn't too simple. The crop top showed a little bit of my belly, but it was still classy.
