I lock up my bike at the ring, and walk around the block to the door of my apartment building. "Hi Mr Mutton." I say to our receptionist on the way past. He looks up and smiles, then goes back to his papers. I climb the stairs, right up to the 12th floor. What? I'm trying to get fitter, don't question me. Anyway, I unlock the door, and guess who's waiting for me. "Mum! What are you doing back so early?" I ask. Oh yeah, just so you know, mum usually gets back at like eight, eight thirty. She looks up from her coffee and smiles.
"Evelyn, come sit." I sit at the bench and she continues. "I know this will be hard for you, but we're moving. And before you ask, not houses, countries."

My smile drops. "What? You know what, actually fine. Now, I've got a heap of homework to do before the holidays so bye!" I grab some chocolate I know I said I was gonna be fit, I just climbed 12 flights of stairs with a school bag so don't even comment. And run to my room. I shut the door and pour out the mountain of homework I have. I start on an English essay, then get bored and I put on my playlist. First Hamilton comes on. I absolutely loove musicals, so that'll calm me down, right?
"I burned all the letters you wrote to me..." I sing along while writing. The music stops as my phone rings. Great. I forgot to call Charlotte. I pick up the phone and say,
"Hey."
"Ev. Why didn't you come to Glenferrie? Everyone was there. Poppy, Ruby, all the other Charlottes. It was fun. You should've been their with us." Charlotte says eagerly.
"Sorry. You know what happens when I'm in a big crowd. Besides, I have heaps of homework to do."
"Well you gotta come next week. That's the end of school! We're all going down for ice cream and frozen yogurt. And, you promised." She whines.
"Oh gee, why would a girl with terrible confidence agree to hanging out with the popular girls? Only because you and Ruby asked me. Oh! Also, I have to tell you something..." I choke up.
"What. You haven't broken anything, have you?"
"No. I... I'm moving. I'm moving to another country."
"What! Which one?"
"I didn't ask." Oh my god I'm such an idiot I didn't even ask where we were moving to. I run out towards mum and ask.
"Uh, England-" Charlotte cuts me off,
"What? You cannot leave. I'll steal you and keep you in my house."
"Okay! Well anyway, I have a heap more homework to do, so I'll see you tomorrow." I hang up on her and sigh why do we have to move now?

Hi peoples! What'd you think? I will probably never update again in my entire life but thanks for reading! Also, the bits in italics are just her thinking. Does anyone else think putting the chapter pictures in are so annoying? Cause I do.
