I just move

Chapter 1

---I just move---

-MADDIE! WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU!

-WAIT A SECOND, I'M COMING!

Last minute in my house. I should say in my old house. In the house where I spent all my life. Well, for 15 years. I was practically born in this house. And I don't want to move out. I just don't. New house, new neighborhood, new town. I don't want to leave my life here. But it's to late to think of that. I say goodbye to my life and hello to my destiny, like my parents would say. In my perception of things, I say goodbye to my perfect life to say hello to a disastrous future. Here, I'm popular,  I have lots of friends, a beautiful house, a reputation who took me forever to get. I had the life every teenager would dream to have. But because of my dad, I need to move in a new town. He got a better paying job. I don't understand why the money is so important for him. We don't have economic problems, we are like everybody. But my dad's motto being to always aim higher, we can't be like everybody. He always wanted to be a step higher than everybody.

The only positive point I found is that I will go away and forget Tom Anderson, my ex who broke my heart. He cheated on me and the whole school had been made aware. Because we were THE popular couple of the school. Imagine: the football player and the cheerleader. When we broke up, it was a scandal for everybody, even though it wasn't their business. So, when I'll move, i will forget him. I won't have to confront all those looks of pity from the students. Maybe it's a good thing that I will leave...

-MADDIE!

-I'M COMING MOM!

I went down the stairs, glancing a last look at my room, at my empty house, and I finaly closed the door. All my life stayed in this house. I could start a something new there. Be another person, try new things. I would of course stay the same Maddie, but everybody needs change in his life. Everybody. 

When I entered in the car, I listened to some music. I put my earphones on and I turn up the sound so I would only hear the sound of my music. My new house was at some 4 hours from here. I never saw it. My parents went to visit it when I was at my best friend's, Brooke. They bought it and after, everything went so fast that I didn't have the time to say my last goodbye to everybody. I will sure can text and call my friends, but it won't be the same. It will never be the same.

Let's talk about my friends. My friends that I'll miss so much.

Brooke Wilson is my best friend. We say everything to each other, we are like twins. We always were together. Since we lived close to each other, we could see us all the time. When I wasn't feeling good, she was there for me et when she was feeling bad, I was there for her. When I learned that Tom cheated on me, I went to her. I had a broken heart. She comforted me and it's because of her I passed over it. Well... Almost over it. We were watching love stories movies while we were eating ice cream and candies. Even if she was on a diet, she ate with me to help me to pass over it and let me know I wasn't alone. But Brooke didn't have to do a diet. She is thin and beautiful, but she wants to have a career in modeling and, as she would say, it's better to start young. She wants to be skinnier, thinner, because she says it's what it takes to be part of the modeling business. I think it's really idiot to do a diet at 15 years old, mostly when you're thin like Brooke is, but Brooke has her own way to think. This way we can't contradict. But I love her anyway.

And then there's Alison. Alison was one of my good friends.She was part of our "gang" et, at first, she annoyed me, but I learned to know her and now, she's a really good friend. Always there to give a tissue when you cry. What's funny is that she doesn't care of the others opinion. Actually, it's not funny. I would like to have this quality. What's funny is that when Tom cheated on me, she went scream on him because he broke my heart. When everybody looked at me, she went scream on them to tell them to watch somewhere else. It was like one of my body guards. But Alison is an extraordinary friend that I didn't want to lose. She was unique and I'll never find another somewhere else.

I could describe all of my friends, but it would be too long, so I am dedicated only to the essential. Like I said earlier, I have a lots of friends. Brooke, Alison, Chloe, Eleanor, Gabriella, Mary, Maggie, Elisabeth, Jackie, Emmanuelle, Mackenzie. But I also have enemies. Some people I can't see. Some people I hate.

Let's start with Tom. Tom Anderson. At first, I thought he was perfect. Hot, tall, shaped, kind, romantic, adorable. But I was wrong. Totally wrong. I loved him. But now, I hate him. I don't trust men anymore. You have to understand, Tom was my first real love. Been cheated on at 15 years old don't give me a lot of hope in males.

After comes Ashley Williams. You probably noticed she has de same last name as me. It's not a coincidence, she's my cousin. The daughter of the brother of my father. Why do I hate her? Simple. It's with her Tom cheated on me. With my cousin! When we were younger, we were almost sisters. We didn't have real sister so we had invented we were twins. This was a good time. Now, she copies everything I do. Brooke says it's because she's jealous of me, because she wants my life. Well, my old life. The worst in this story is that I'll see her every year at Christmas and New Year's Eve. Because our fathers promised that Ashley's family would come for this week. Su-per. Do you see sarcasm there? You should. At least, I won't see her victorious look printed on her face at school.

I must have fall asleep for the ride because it didn't seem so long. The car stopped in front of a gigantic house. It was so big, I'd say two times bigger than the other! I went out of the car the mouth wide open.

-It's big, isn't it? asked dad. 

I didn't answer. I followed him. When he opened the door, I was fascinated by the beauty of the house. My dad had sell our old furniture so he could buy new, so the house was already full.

-Go on the other floor, your room is down the hall. Anyway, you'll recognize it, it's written MADDIE on it, said Dad.

My dad had hire an interior designer for the house and I wanted to see my room the faster as possible. I got up and I saw a door where MADDIE was written in big black letters. I entered. Oh. My. God. My room was like three times bigger than the last one! It was awesome. The walls were white and one was turquoise. I have a big Queen bed next to the wall. The blanket was white and turquoise. A big turquoise carpet covered the floor. A big white desk was in the corner of the room and... Wait... Am I dreaming? A MacBook is set up on the desk! I wanted one since forever! A balcony with glass doors gives on the back yard where a pool and a Jacuzzi are set. I'M DREAMING! It's the room of my dreams! I got a private balcony. My room is perfect. All it takes to be even more perfect is a little Maddie touch. I took my box where my personal objects like photographs were kept. There was a big board where I could put them. I delicately took them out the box because I didn't want to crumple them and I remembered all these old memories.
