Love The Nerd [N.H] ON HIATUS

Chapter 1:

It was about one o'clock in the afternoon when I woke up. My usual routine of shuffling downstairs and filling my stomach with breakfast didn't happen. Today was a day to stay in bed, I grabbed my mobile and glasses from the nightstand and checked Justin Bieber's Twitterpage. Yes, I'm a Belieber and I'm proud of it. After checking/stalking around Twitter, I lay my mobile back on my nightstand and grab my sketch book, I take it everywhere. There's not a day that goes by when I haven't got my sketchbook by my side. I need it, drawing makes all my thoughts clear, I'm always drawing whatever's on my mind.

I began drawing things that had to do with Ireland, because that is where my thoughts were. I must go to Ireland to live there for a year with my aunt and uncle. My parents have to go to New York, a business trip for their company. When they are in the big city I'll be in a village named Mullingar. I don't even know anyone there, I'm scared... I don't make friends fast.

"Clara!" I hear my mum calling me outside my door.

"Yeah?"

"Get up, we have to talk."

"Bout what?" But I got no answer. I get up from my bed, eyeing what I drew. It was a mix between Ireland, London and New-York. The American flag, the union jack and the flag from Ireland. Clovers, leprechauns, sky scrappers, yellow cab, red buses, red phone boxes, Big Ben, etc... I put my sketchbook on my desk and grabbed my toiletries, heading towards the bathroom.

Barefoot, I padded back into my bedroom, throwing on jeans and a grey t-shirt. Going downstairs I hear voices coming out of the living room, familiar ones but I can't place them though, only the voices of my parents.

"What's happening?" I didn't really even think about it, the question just popped out of my mouth when I saw my aunt Lisa sitting on the couch. Why is she here? Plus, it wasn't much of a question, it was more of a statement. I need an explanation for what is going on.

"I already know that you're not gonna like what you hear." Mum said, quite worried. Which got me worried as well, so I decided to speak up again.

"Mum?" I gush, taking a short breath, "What is going on? What's happening?" I repeat.

"You're going to Ireland earlier than planned." She just spits out, not taking a moment to think about it.

"What?!" I stared at her, completely unaware of the situation and everything around me for a split second. "W-Why? When? For god's sake don't say today." I rambled, needing answers for what's happening right now.

"No not today," My mother said and I stopped panicking for a second. "Tomorrow." She looked down.

"WHAT THE H-" I was going to curse but I better not, my family was here and I don't curse when they're around.

"I'm sorry darling" My dad spoke, I didn't say anything else because I'll probably end up in an outburst. I hated them for doing this to me.

"It'll be fine Clara." My aunt got up and gave me a hug. "It will be the same like home." She assured me.

"That's not true and you know it" I thought but I didn't say it out loud, I just nodded. Mullingar and London are the exact opposites. How can it be the same? Doesn't matter though, I can't get my parents on other thoughts anyway such as staying at Olivia's for the year and also I don't want to hurt my aunt. I don't want to go and live with her but that's not it, it's because it's in Ireland. I could ask if she could move here for a year but then she'll have to leave her life behind and I don't want to be the reason she gives up on everything.

"I made pancakes, you didn't had breakfast nor lunch so I thought you'd be hungry." My mum said while she was walking towards us.

"Oh yes I'm really hungry." I said and I didn't even notice it till she reminded me that I didn't have anything for breakfast and lunch. We all took our places on the kitchen table.

"Maybe you can call Olivia and some other friends to come over tomorrow? You're leaving in the evening darling." My dad said after swallowing a piece of his pancake.

"Yes really?!" I asked for confirmation and he nodded "Thanks." I smiled -but I'm still so mad at them- When everyone finished eating my mum reminded me that I still have to pack my luggage. She said I can't take everything with me, I've to leave many of my clothes behind but Mum said I can always buy new clothes. I don't really need what's in fashion anyway so I just nod and stare at them blankly.

"I suppose I should pack now." I mumbled, and turned on my heels to walk towards my bedroom. I called Olivia and some other friends I don't really have many friends so I called like 3. As Olivia answered the phone I spilled and told her everything.

"Claraaaaa." she nagged "I'm going to miss ya! With who am I going to go to school now with?"

"Sorry Olive." I've got a suitcase wide open along with my wardrobe "it's not my decision... anyway I gotta pack now, see you tomorrow."

"Kay see ya." Before I began packing I placed Believe in the CD-player - Justin Bieber, All around the world began to play.

I grabbed some jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses, plain t-shirt, panties, bra's... everything I needed. After I packed my clothes I gathered my stuff from the bathroom and photos from the shelves above my desk.

"All around the world people want to be loved." I sang. I didn't even care how bad I sounded, I love singing his songs. Next to drawing, his music is helping to get my mind off the moving situation.

I sigh as I put my last pair of shoes into my suitcase. I don't want to leave, I hate it.

**

The next day we were gathered in the back yard. August's weather is making this day perfect. I'm definitely going to miss London. That evening, my aunt and I had to leave. I wore grey shorts and a white shirt combined with brown flats.

I hugged my family and then my friends goodbye, it was hard.

"Clara." Olivia sobbed "Don't find a better best friend." A kind and heart warming smile playing on her lips.

"Never." I hugged her again. "Call, text, Skype me, please." I looked for the last time back and waved before I got in the car. "See you all next year." I sigh as the words left my mouth.

"C'mon we are already a bit late, darling." My dad said calmly, rushing me.

We arrived at the Airport and I had to say goodbye to my parents.

"This is where we say goodbye." My mum said hugging me. "I'm going to miss you sweetheart." I think, she cried.

"I'm going to miss you too." I swallowed and I also gave my dad a long lasting hug.

"Behave yourself yeah?" he laughed. "We'll call and Skype." He said and kissed my forehead.

"Okay." I closed my eyes for a second.

As we got on the plane I plugged my earphones in and listened to some music. When a flight attendant came I asked if they had oreo's, which were my not so secret addiction. When she told me there were some, I had to get some. So while munching on Oreos and listening to Mr.Bieber, I thought of what awaited me in Ireland.
