"Sure you got everything?" My dad asked, looking at me drag my 7th suitcase to the door. What? It's five months!

"I got it." I told him. "My bus doesn't leave til six, right?"

"Yup." He said, ruffling my already messy hair.

"Oh, and Dad?" I got his attention right before we both were walking over to the ravioli on the stove. "The school did pre-send all my instruments, right?"

"Yes." He said while scooping the raviolis in a bowl. "I'm gonna miss ya."

"I'll miss you too, Dad." I hugged him.

We sat down and watched a show called "Modern Family".

"Del, Delilah, Lily!" My Dad whisper shouted my name to get me up. "It's five am, you have be ready for the busses." I groaned and rolled over.

"Fine, don't go." He said, making me roll back over into the light.

I patted my night stand in search for my glasses. Once I found them and put them on, I looked down to see I was wearing underwear and an oversized sweatshirt, I don't really remember anything in the morning. After my Dad left the room, I shook my hair out and put it in a messy bun, applied a little bit of cover up and mascara, then put on comfortable black jean shorts and an orange T-shirt with the Oreo logo on it. I slipped on the first flip flops I saw, which were black yoga ones, and went to the kitchen.

"Mmreadeh." I said sleepily while rubbing my eyes.

"Eat something." Dad laughed, I put a bagel in the toaster.

When the bagel popped up I was so tired that I screamed since I wasn't prepared for it, that woke me up.

Dad and I got in his truck to drive to the school parking lot so I can take a four hour bus ride to the airport and fly next to strangers for another 13 hours. Great.

When we arrived at the parking lot, people were being interviewed, busses were pulling out, and Pix, Cohen, and Madi were sitting on a curb near the office.

"Dad, I'm going to say goodbye to Madi." I say blankly while walking over to my friends. There they were, crying their eyes out.

"Boo!" I yelled, scaring the, and I quote, 'living hell out of' them.

Madi and I hugged and cried a bit, then I said I was going to hang out with my dad.

When I went to find my dad he was being interviewed, probably because his only child was going to be alone in Australia with four boys the same age for five months, if you know what I mean.

"Daddy," I tapped his shoulder, interrupting his sentence, seeing that my bus was going to leave any second now. I hugged him. "Goodbye, I'll see you soon! I'll call you when I land and tonight and whenever I can. I love you." I said, all the sudden both of us burst into tears, so much crying. The camera man continued to film us. I kissed his cheek and he hugged me tighter, finally, we let go and I loaded my 7 bags onto the bus.

"I love you!" I yelled just as I was boarding our bus.

"I love you, too!" He yelled back.

I took a seat next to Cohen and Pixie.

Goodbye England. Hello Australia.
