~Rena's pov~

I love my mom, it always been me and her we didn't need anyone else. But when she told me we were moving to Australia for her job, freaking Australia!!!!! like c'mon mom it's my sophomore year of college and your moving me across the world.

Yes, I was very disappointed. I had never been really popular but I did have my group of friends and when I told my best friend, harmony that I was moving to Sydney, well let's just say there were a lot of tears and a lot of tissues.

We left the house at 4:23 A.M. to get to the airport by 4:40 and our flight took off at 6:00. All of our furniture took the flight the day before so it got there before us. We got on the plane and after a highschool musical marathon watching camp rock 2 twice because I didn't like the first one and a six hour nap we finally arrived in Sydney.

We ubered out to our small two room, one bath condo in the city. Once we got there we unloaded the sleeping stuff and knocked out. In the morning I woke up to my mom's favorite Latin album, the Buena Vista social club and the smell of beans and queso fresco(fresh cheese).

I walked out of my room to the kitchen took a birrote(roll) and sat down at the breakfast bar. My mom danced around while she flipped tortillas and grilled jalapeños. Mom had gotten up really early and started unpacking so there were less boxes than when we arrived.

"Buenos Dias amor Como dormistes?"(good morning love how did you sleep?) she asked I smiled and replied, "muy bien grasias mami"(really good thanks mom) we always did this, spoke to eachother in Spanish my mom was full blown Mexican and my dad well we don't talk about him let's just say he spoke spanish. So I was pretty much fluent in the language.

"so I was thinking" my mom said I laughed, "uh-oh that's never good" she smiled, "I heard the beaches here were pretty stellar and I have to go in for a welcome meeting. So intead of having you binge here all day I called an old friend of mine and she has a son around your age and he agreed to show you around."

I laughed way harder than I should have, "you set me up!" She almost coughed up her coffee, "no! I was just suggesting he's really nice and we'll you don't want to be here all day do you?" I smiled "yea that's cool what time" I asked she replied, "we'll it's 10:48 right now and he said like 12:00 so you should start getting ready" I nodded my head and walked to my room.

I took a hot shower. Once I got out I walked to my room and threw on a vans spirit jersey some black ripped jeans and my checkered vans. I never really did anything with my hair all my life I've been complemented on how preatty my hair was. By then it was 11:54. I applied minimal make up and walked out of my room.

At 12:00 we heard the door bell ring my mom opened it. As soon as my mom opens the door I'm face to face with this 6"0 giant, I'm 5"1. I look up and the first thing I see are two adorable dimple, then I see a head full of curly blond hair, and last I see two gorgeous green eyes. He had this adorable baby face.

"Hi, I'm Rena Nightingale" I hold my hand out and he takes it his hand are three times the size of mine and there rough with calouses he smiles, there are those dimples again. He's really really really cute this is gonna be way more fun than I thought.

Mom winks at me seeing my face flush completely red I look down at my shoes. He smiled seeing me blush. I walked through door and mom smiled as she shut the house door. We walked to his car and he opened the door for me. We drove and drove until he stop in front of the park. "Were going to the park?" I asked he said nothing and smiled
