YouTube High School!

Leaving Westminster

I shoved the last of my shirts into my already overstuffed suitcase as the grandfather clock in the hallway chimed 1:00. I sighed as I looked around my giant room, my eyes taking everything in for the last time. There was my empty wardrobe, my spotless desk, my spotless bookshelf and my fluffy bed, all soon to be left by their owner. I zipped up my suitcase, grabbed my giant backpack and left my room. This is it Alex, I told myself, brushing my long, brown hair out of my deep brown eyes, You've finished packing, your one step closer to going to high school.

"ALEXANDRA MARIE BROWN!" My mother yelled from downstairs,

"Crap" I muttered, I pushed up my glasses, when my mum yelled my full name like that, she meant business.

"WE WERE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE THE HOUSE 5 MINUTES AGO!" She cried, pushing me out the door of our huge house, I would be going to YouTube High School. A fancy private school around 200 miles away from the bustling streets of Westminster, the place where I live. Mum hailed a taxi and we rushed to the train station. When we got there I saw a clump of excited teenage girls and boys with their parents, headed towards a train.

"Whelp," I said, turning to my mum, jabbing my thumb behind me, pointing to the train "That's my ride." I was surprised to see her eyes fill up with tears. My mom was a strong lawyer and I never saw her cry.

"Mum?" I whispered, leaning in for a hug "It's going to be fine. I'll be okay. I promise."

My mum leaned in and whispered "I love you Alex." A single tear rolled down her cheek.

"I love you too."

"Please be careful, don't do anything rash." She had stopped crying and was grinning a little.

"I'll try." I smirked

"Get good grades."

"Okay."

I sighed and stopped hugging her. I headed to the train and was about to get on when I heard my mum cry

"BYE ALEX!"

I smiled and waved, I was going to miss life in Manchester, but something was going to change. I could feel it.
