"Chris! Your mother is on the line come and say hi," I heard my Grandad call to me, I was living with my grandparents because my mother, father and twin brother all went house hunting and left me in Las Vegas, score! You are probably wondering why I am not with them, it's because I prefer going to the house when it's been bought not when we are looking at them, it's sooooooo boring...

"Chris!" I heard again, I got up off my bed and grabbed two bobbles to tie my long, flowing, diamond, blue hair into twin tails. As I was 13 I went through a stage where I loved the colour blue so I died my hair blue with permanent dye and I have been living with blue hair for about three years, sometimes I hate it, sometimes I don't but I still wish I had my jet black hair, so I hate my 13 year old self.

"Chris!!" My Grandad yelled as I walked around the doorway of the kitchen, "Yeah, yeah I'm here. Calm your wrinkles down," I said as I grabbed the phone and heard static down the line.

PHONE ME : Hello?

--------STATIC--------

PHONE ME : Hey anyone there?

--------HEAVY BREATHING--------

PHONE MUM : Hey honey

PHONE ME : Damn it Mum I thought someone had hacked our line

PHONE MUM : Why?

PHONE ME : Because I heard some damned breathing down the line, too heavy for you or dad or that idiot twin of mine

PHONE MUM : Umm... I don't know, anyway you are to get on your first class flight after school tomorrow, we are in a really nice house. You have a room with a lovely view and a balcony that hangs over our outdoor swimming pool. Your room has an en suite and you will love the size of it, your brothers not sharing room with you however he is across the hall from you because he said he didn't want to be to far away from you haha

PHONE BROTHER (background) : Mooom no I didn't!!

PHONE ME : Why at the end of the day Mum? You know then it will be harder for me to leave my friends behind also I bet he did actually want to keep sharing rooms with me aha. Anyway can you change it to the morning? Or... tonight?

PHONE MUM : No it's too late to change now, anyway see you in a couple days and hand me to your grandfather, I need to give him some specific information

PHONE ME : Yeah sure, see you in a couple days then. Bye.

PHONE MUM : Love you, bye.

As I gave the phone to my granddad I picked up my mobile and called my three bestest friends on ooVoo, as I waited for them to pick up I ran upstairs and I grabbed my suitcases and started packing up, laptop and expensive electronics l things first wrapped in bubble wrap then into the bottom of the bag, they had answered when I was packing the last of my clothes.

"Hey girl, what's up?" Allison asked while staring at the effects that she could use.

"Why are you packing? What is the matter?" Alec asked while looking through the camera directly with a worried look spread across his face. I nodded and looked at them, barely holding back the tears.

"Tomorrow is my last day of school," I said as I picked up my phone and sat on my bed, holding up my phone to my face, I smiled.

"What do you mean? You're not really leaving are you?" Jessica asked, their three personalities were going to be what I would miss the most, Allison's love for fashion and anything girly, Alec's love for sports and being the best (he's the captain of many team games) and Jessica's love for being popular and hanging around with the really popular kids but still leaving time to hang out with me. I love them all like they were my brother and sisters, I'll miss them the most.

"Snap, snap! Chris you still there? You still alive and breathing?" I heard Alec ask as he started waving his hand in front of his camera.

"Yeah, sorry I zoned out," I said apologetically, "I am moving to a place in Miami where by the sounds of it I have quite a nice room."

After talking for almost over an hour my grandma had called me down for dinner so I had to hang up and say bye. Downstairs over dinner my grandparents were bombing me with questions that I didn't want to think about, so naturally I left dinner early and went to bed.

The morning quickly came and that was going to be my last normal day, last normal morning with the last of my friends.
