Heads up Tiaras down

Chapter 1

Sleeping is still hard for me, even though I take medicine every night to help me with that. Like what do homeopathic pills do anyway, besides tasting like sugar?
I've spent the whole night thinking of my first day of school and how my life has changed so much in less than a year, but we'll get to that later, my life it's all about shitty coincidences you'll see.

I like to think of myself different from most people my age (not a weirdo or anything like that, or maybe just a little? ) seriously, I have an eidetic memory or photographic memory same thing like only 7% of people in this world have that. If you've seen Suits you know it's pretty cool, anyway, that's the only coincidence of my life that's not shitty, so all the others might be a punishment for either that or my cockiness about it. So since I have this condition I'm a sixteen-year-old who is about to start senior year.

My favorite part of me is my younger sister Chloe she is almost six years old and she is the sweetest little girl, we used to live in New York, but now we are living with our aunt Sophie in London because our parents died in a car accident on Christmas Eve, that was just five months ago but it feels more recent than it actually is. I really wonder how to get over the constant pain, being happy again without feeling guilty about it seems impossible right now. Since my parents death I did like my feelings died with them too, so I show myself like a strong and brave person that cares about nothing else but herself and her and her little sister but the truth is that I'm broken inside and I actually do care about people, it's just hard to do it with the constant fear of losing them. Chloe doesn't suffer so much, because she thinks that they are invisible and that she is the only one that can see them sort of like an imaginary friend so that's good.

"Zoe breakfast is ready, hurry up."

"Yeah, coming."  But I'm actually still laying in bed staring at the ceiling.

Aunt Sophie's house is pretty big and modern, it has huge windows there are almost no walls, so you can always feel outside, in the first floor is the living room with a gray fury carpet and a huge fireplace, she has the biggest kitchen I've ever seen in a house, Sophie is a Chef so she spends most of her time there, she owns a restaurant one of the best in London. In the second floor is a library with all the books that you can imagine Sophie and I love reading so we have all kinds of books, our rooms are on this floor too.
The next day we arrived Sophie took us shopping, we got to choose everything for our rooms and we also bought new clothes, she is new in this because she has no kids so I suppose that was her way of making us feel comfortable.
I like London but New York, yeah... there is nothing like New York, even though I know that the best for Chloe and I right now is to be here I can't help thinking of how much I wish to go back.
"Zoe, you're late!!!"

"Coming." I run down the stairs in my new uniform.
I've never worn a uniform before so I really liked it was really classy, a blue skirt with a white shirt and a red tie, a blue blazer, blue socks and blue shoes.

"ZOE!!!"

"Morning Sophie."

"That skirt is too short!!"

"Yeah but its cute isn't?"

"Oh, God...You are just like" – she didn't finish the phrase.
And my appetite was gone.

"Yeah like my mom I know..."- I stood up from the table.

"I didn't intend to..."

"I know" I said without even looking at her "Thanks for breakfast."

I went upstairs to brush my teeth, then I went to Chloe's room, she was still asleep I gave her a kiss and then ran to the door.

"Bye."

"Do you want me to drive you to school?"

"No thanks, I'll take the subway"- I said smiling and closing the door behind me.

I really enjoy being on my own and walking through the city just listening to music, the subway was only four blocks away from Sophie's house, so it didn't take long to get there. As I was walking I saw other kids going to school but with different uniforms.
As I arrived at the subway, the warm and noisy station made me feel welcomed, except for the fact that it was less chaotic than the one in New York. I looked at my watch, 7:44 as I was walking downstairs and I saw the subway arrive. I ran so I wouldn't have to wait for the next one, I made it to the platform but the doors were already closing. "Fuck". I felt the person next to me examining me. Did I said that out loud??
I faced the person, his lips were moving so I took my headphones off he was probably twenty-something he had light brown hair and caramel brown eyes behind those nerdy glasses that everyone's wearing now, the typical Oxford look, and quite good looking.

"Sorry?" I said a little confused, he smiled.

" I was just pointing out that it was unusual to see an ABA student taking the metro, but then I noticed your accent so that explains it." He said with a grin on his face.

"ABA? And what's wrong with my accent, what's that suppose to mean?!" was this guy making fun of me?

He laughed. Am I so entertaining?

"Ascot Brown Academy, from your uniform, you must be new. And as for your accent, I believe it's from New York so that also explains why you are going to school in the undergrown, you miss home don't you?" Was I that easy to read? I looked at him with shock at first but then I narrowed my eyes at him

"And you think you know everything don't you?" all he did was laugh... then the next subway arrived. Thank god.

The doors opened and unfortunately had to sit in front of the know it all, I took out my phone and turned the volume up. He took a book out of his dark green messenger bag "One Hundred Years of Solitude" my mom's favorite book, not my type though, but after she died I've read it three times so I could feel close to her somehow.

I noticed that I had to get off at the next station so I stood up and saw that the smart-ass was behind me still looking down at his book.

I was in front of the street when I realized I had no idea where I was going, Sophie's directions were completely wiped out of my mind. 7:57 fuck, I looked around me just in case I saw something familiar but I was completely blank, I stopped the music because I was about to ask someone for directions

"Its this way," a familiar voice said behind making me jump a little.
