When my dad died 7 years ago my mom, Marie Parker, started to date this britsh guy named Peter Parker four years after my dad's death, and married him about a year ago. He wanted us to move to the UK with him since he hated long distance. Of course my mom agreed.

My name is Maritza Corky. I know lame name. I have long wavy brown hair, my eyes are brown and almond shaped.

My family moved to Bradford, Leeds, United Kingdom, and this is the beginning of a new life.

----------------

Asmy mom is driving away from my hometown to the airport a tear rolls down my cheek.

"I'm gonna miss this place." I sighed as I plugged in my earphones.  

Don't get me wrong I'm excited, a bit nervous, to move to a different country, and start new, but I'm going to miss my friends; especially my best friend, Shania Pena.The only problem of moving to the UK is this very popular british boy band, One Direction. I get tired of hearing every girl fangirl about them, especially Shania. They just get on my nerves.

When we arrived at the airport it was 6am and our plane doesn't leave until 8am. It takes about 10-11 hours to arrive in Bradford. As my mom and I checked ourselves in I looked outside to see the sun shinning bright inside. "Trust me you're going to love Bradford.. I know it's a big change." my mom says while she pats my shoulder and hands me my ticket.

We got on the plane and I had a window seat even though my mom loves window seats. Ha! That's what she gets for making me move half way across theworld. When the planes starts to move and drive down the walkway I look out the window, "Goodbye Las Vegas. Goodbye America. Until next time." My mom over heard and shook her head, "you know you can come back on vacations."

"I know it just won't be the same." I decided to read my book, The Chain Letters. I started the book a few days ago, and I'm half way through. Man this book is good! It's been 5 1/2 hours since we've been in the air. I started to yawn and closed my book. My eyes started to close.

The next thing I know my mom wakes me up. "Hun, we're here! Get up or I'll embarass you in front of everyone." 

She wouldn't.. would she? I remember the last time she embarassed me.

Flashback

"Mom I'm going to school now!" I yelled when walked out the door.

"Not so fast! I'm dropping you off! It's your first day of high school!" she squealed.

"Oh no no that's fine no its fi-"

"nonsense. I'm taking you and that's final!"

When we arrived in front of the school all the teenagers were hanging out with their friends. All the popular kids on one side and the rest of the school just spread out. As I was going to close the door my mom yells out, "Have a good day sweetie! Aw gosh my baby is growing up it seems like yeaterday I was changing her smelly poopy diapers!" my face turned red and slammed the door. Damn it why did she have to do that. The kids started to laugh and point. 

My mom rolls down the window and continues, "I remember when you would come running up to me and yell at me that you have made a poopy. Well good luck and don't forget to flush!"

I walked away bright red while everyone just laughed. 

"Way to ruin my first day of high school." i whispered. 

I got my bags and got off the plane. I saw Peter, my step-dad, waving at us in front of his car; I loaded my things in the trunk and I hugged him after. He's a really nice guy I just wish he moved to the US instead of us moving.. I looked at the time.and it was only 2 a.m.. 

"Hey Maritza! Welcome to Bradford!" he started to wave his arms around like that one meme picture. I laughed and raised my hands, "please stop that you look like you're going to transform into an alien."

I just had a nap at the plane ride, but I had to sleep when I got to my new house, because Peter told me I had school in the morning. Great school on the first day I JUST moved.. Way to burst my bubble.. I'm scared shitless to go to the school. 

When we arrived to my new house I stepped outside and noticed his house is adorable. His front porch seemed like it was only 3 yards long. I walked in and the inside was bigger than it would have seemed. I walked up the stairs to my room. The walls were painted purple, my favorite color, the carpet were very soft and white. He decorated my room! The bed was twin sized. He placed a computer desk in my room next to the window which had an amazing view. As I placed my laptop on the computer desk, Peter knocked on my door. "I see you loved your new room. The lads and I remodeled it."

" The lads?" I scratched my head. I need to get use to the different slang words that's used here. I looked at him like a lost puppy.

"My friends. They remodel things, so I asked if they can help." 

"Well thank you so much! Tell them I said thank you as well. I love my room it's perfect!" He hugged me and walked out saying goodnight. I started to unpack my clothes, so it could be easier for me to choose my outfit for tomorrow.

Back home Shania and I made a promise to tell each other everyting that happens here and back home. I told her no matter the time difference I'll Skype her to talk to her, so I decided to see if Shania was online. I rang her up and she answered.

"Hey!" I happily said. Her room was shinning bright from the sun. It was currently 4pm in Las Vegas.

"Hey! I miss you already. Everyone was asking how your flight went" she replied. 

"I miss you too. Look at my room! I love it. Tell everyone I landed safely and that I miss them." 

"I need to visit during the summer. We will both me 18 by then and we could go.." she pauses and poses like she's singing at a concert, "CLUBIN'!!"

"You do need to visit and maybe we could go clubing. The seasons here are different so I might have school when it's summer for you guys." She laughs and nodded her head. "Well, it's past midnight here. And I have school tomorrow. Wish me luck." i jokingly said. I gave her a face that says kill me now. She puts her hands in a half heart shape and I added the other half.

"Goodnight and good luck!" 

We hung up and i went to bed thinking about how my life is going to change in a good way.... I hope.
