Year 2010

Mia's POV

So the start of this year was normal, I went to my local High School in California, America, but I have never really fitted in since my family and I have moved here one year ago from London, England. When we first moved I didn't know whether to be excited or sad, I mean I didn't want to leave my friends but I didn't really have much of a choice, so after saying my tearful goodbyes to the best friends that a girl could ever ask for, I got onto the plane.

It was a long flight and I spent the first half hour trying to convince myself that it was a good thing to move to America and that I wouldn't stand out too much, and after crying a lot, I finally started to think about all the good things about America. The fresh start, the opportunities to make new friends, getting to see the sights, go swimming in a sea that wouldn't turn my lips blue within minutes...I would have fun, right?

To make things even worse, my parents were not only making me take the second half of my GCSEs at home so that when we returned to London I could stay in the same year as my friends were in, but they were also making me go to high school, they thought that it would be a good idea for me to make friends and I wouldn't find the work too difficult since I had been moved up a year at my school in England due to home schooling when I was younger, getting me ahead, so in other words I was going to be getting double homework every night. My parents had asked my teachers from England to e-mail me all of the work and they had agreed, but this did mean that all of the notes would be written for me, making revision easier.

So when I first started high school, it was not what I expected...maybe I do watch way to much TV, but the cliques were there, they just weren't as horrible to each other as they are on TV, but I had no idea where I would fit in. I had always been quite quiet until you got to know me, while I walked to school for the first time, I took in my new surroundings, I had been in California for about a week and that had given me enough time to unpack and get rid of my jet lag. When I got to school it didn't go so well, I managed to get lost and that was just trying to find my form room, but once I learned my way around it wasn't so bad, everyone seemed to love my accent and kept asking me to say things in my British accent like "kitty cats." Within the first few weeks I had found my clique and made some friends, I was classed as one of the 'drama geeks' but I didn't mind because I got on well with them all and we started to become really good friends, but I knew that they would never replace the best friends I still had from England, well that pretty much brings you up to date.

"Mia" my mum calls from downstairs at 8am which was too early in any country! I hate Mondays!

"Coming!" I yell while putting my mascara on and adding some lipstick, I quickly run downstairs just as my mum starts to yell.

"You're going to be...oh you're here, well your breakfast is on the table."

"Ok thanks" I say with a quick smile and quickly eat my cheerios and go to grab my bag when my mum stops me.

"Don't be late back home from school, your father and I need to talk to you."

"Okay" I say giving my mum a curious look before leaving through the front door and beginning the short walk to school with my friend, Tara.

Tara has lived next door to me since I arrived and she loves drama almost as much as I do, she was the only person that knew that I also love music...especially singing but I have never had the courage to sing in front of anyone, not even my parents know.
