Caiden Amar'e Diya was the name my parents birth me with. I liked my name it was simple; I grew up in South Africa until I turned 13 . That's when both my parents had decided that they wanted to move to Los Angeles, California because my dad got a promotion on his job.  Great , they were being selfish; I'd have to make new friends and basically start over.

"But ma I don't what to move", I say following my mom around the house as she packed up .

"We have been blessed with a better opportunity", My mom says .

"We live great don't here ma", I say trying to get them to change her mind .

It wasn't working , she was ignoring me again . I mentally roll my eyes and head to my dad's study .

"Dad please can I just stay here with Mama and Papa please?", I begged pouting.

"No Caiden it's going to be great opportunity in America and you're going to love it", My dad says in his thick south African accent .

I was distressed . I ran to my best friend's Esabella house and knock on the door .

"What's wrong Cai?", Esabella asked befuddled .

"We're moving?", I say through tears. 

Esabella wraps me in her arms and tries to consoles me but she fails tremendously.

"We're moving tomorrow Bella", I say as she rubs her fingers through my hair .

"I don't want you to go",Bella says as tears fall into my hair.

"I know but my parents think America has better opportunity for us", I say pouting.

"But south Africa is beautiful why would anyone want to leave?", Bella asks smearing her mascara.

"I know but in America my dad going to get paid more and he says it'll help us out a whole lot", I say trying to make the situation better.

"I'm going to miss you Cai I swear", Bella says kissing my cheek .

"I'm going to miss you too Bella", I say hugging her really tight .

"Don't replace me as a Best Friend Cai promise", Esabella demands .

"Promise", I say.

Esabella and I dozed off and I'm awoken to the sound of my phone going off : It's my mother.

"Hello ma", I answer groggily.

"Cai get home immediately , we're taking off tonight", My mother says. 

"Okay", I say holding back tears .

"Esabella We're leaving tonight , I love you so much", I say in a whisper not wanting to wake her up.

I say my farewells to Esabella's family than walk home to get ready to leave . The mover pack everything away and we drive off to the airport . I was leaving , starting a new chapter in life.  I was leaving all I knew . I was going to miss south Africa and all it had to offer . It was absolutely beautiful here and I had so many memories here .

We arrive at the airport and than bored on to the plane . From South Africa to Los Angeles, Calfornia was 24 hours but least we were in first class so the ride would be comfortable . I dozed off and soon we're in the air . About 8 hours later everything started to hit me . New house . New school , and everything .But parents have new work schedules so I knew I'd barely see them .

"Dad how long do we have?", I ask .

"About 16 hours", My dad says reading a book.

I took out my phone and FaceTime Esabella . The look on her face is priceless .

"I've been missing you", Esabella says .

"I miss you too?", I say .

"Are you still on the plane Cai?", Bella asks .

"Girl yes I gotta about 16 hours to go, I thought I would of slept through it all",I said. 

"Lol unless you're depressed than no you wouldn't have slept an entire day especially since you're always eating ", Bella says matter of fact.

"Ayy okay but still I thought I would of slept through a big chunk of the flight, and it's absolutely boring honestly", I say disgusted.

"Where are your parents", Bella asks .

I look around the coach only to realize that I'm in there by myself. I know these darkies ain't leave me by myself . Wanna be nasty and y'all old.  Watch em fall out from a heart attack .I mentally roll my eyes .

"I can't even tell you", I say .

"You're Instagram post was cute ", Bella says

"Thanks girl" l say .

"Anytime", I say hanging up the Face Time. I missed south Africa but especially Esabella.

I lay back in my seat and endure the rest of the torturous ride . With about 16 hours ahead of us , I instantly regretted leaving south Africa and everything I knew behind . A tear slid down my cheek and I ball up in the seat . I never see the point of living a home town only to be judged for being different . That's exactly why I didn't want to go to America; They are ignorant and just say anything they want out of their mouth without thinking . Just to think I'd have to endure that nonsense until after graduation , I was totally dreading living in California.
