It was about 12pm in England, I was totally jet lagged and super tired. I’m not used to flying on planes, and traveling. I was happy to finally be off the plane though, theres always that crying baby, and annoying children who wont leave you alone. I slept most of the way, but I couldn’t go an hour without something waking me up. I was exhausted, and I just couldn’t wait to get to our summer house. My mom was telling me on the way, that she knew we were gonna really like it there, so she bought a summer house. I didn’t expect her to buy a house, I just figured we were gonna stay in a hotel or something, but I guess not. Walking through the airport, peoples attitudes were MUCH different. Just by the enviorment you could tell that you were in a different place. I thought it would feel the same, but it really didn’t. I was excited to see what else was different, all I’ve ever known was america, I’ve never been anywhere different or new. I’m a small town girl, for my whole life i’ve lived in the same city, and basically never left, So this should be a totally new experience. The whole car ride, my mom was talking about what we were gonna do, and how excited she was to see our faces when we got to see the house for the first time. My brother didn’t care at all, you could tell, but thats normal. My brother doesn’t show much emotion, and he doesn’t talk much either. He always seemed to just go with the flow of things, and didn’t have much to say about it, execpt when it’s something he doesn’t agree with, thats when he won’t shut up. He should really be on a debate team, considering he likes to argue so much. My brother never really cared about where we were. He was at the point where he would rather just still be at home, doing nothing, and sitting on the computer playing his stupid computer games. He was glued to the phone the whole car ride, watching youtube videos and such. My mom was talking so much she was basically getting zoned out, all I had to do was look out the window, and BAM, all I heard was “ blah, blah,blah, blah” I just put in my head phones, and took a small nap. I was listening to the Ed Sheeran album, and drifted off. I had a weird dream, I was in England, ( like I was now) and I got to meet all these british celebrities. That’s what made me realize that ALL MY IDOLS were from here, and that I was one step closer. I woke up in excitement, and my mom could tell that I just figured that out. I love music, and lately all I’ve been loving is Ed Sheeran, Olly Murs, Cher Lloyd, Jessie J, Adele, Concept, and One Direction. I was super happy to be in the place where my idols were. We pulled up to a brown panelled house that was much nicer, and bigger then the house that we were living in currently. I was confused why my mom bought such a nice summer house, considering we were only gonna be there for about a month at the most, but I didn’t question it very much because it was a pretty cool house. The front yard had perfect grass, it was kind of like this was barbies dream house. The top floor had two balconys that led outside, and it had a small patio. I also peaked back into the backyard, and saw there was a seperate part to the house, that had a staircase leading up, it looked like it was a mini house above the garage, which was pretty awesome. My mom told us to grab all of our bags then meet her inside. Getting all the bags seemed to take forever, plus the fact that my mom left us with her bags to get too. You could tell she was super excited to go inside, like she had been waiting for this moment for a while. When my brother and I finally lugged all the bags onto the front porch, opening the front door seemed to become a challenge because our hands were full. I just yelled for my mom and she ran over to open the door. We put all the bags in the living room, and then started to look around the house. It was already furnished, and it had a very homey feel to it. The houses around here seemed to be much more vintage, and had more detailing to it. It was quite cool. After looking at the first floor, my brother and I ran upstairs to start claiming who got what room, when we realized there were only two bedrooms upstairs, and the rest of the rooms were studies, bathrooms, and a home movie theater. We ran back down stairs confused, when my mom just started laughing.
“Looks like someones gonna have to sleep on the couch....” she said
My brother and I pointed at each other saying
“He/she will!”
“ Do you really think I’d make one of you sleep on the couch? thats crazy.”
“ Well, you seemed pretty serious...” I said
“ Megan, I saw you looking at the suite over the garage, it’s yours.”
“ Really!?”
“ Yes really! I figured it would suit you best, AND we wont be able to hear you fangirling 24/7. Perfect plan, right boys?”
“ RIGHT.” My dad and brother said like they rehearsed it.
“ Well thannks.....”
“ You’re welcome” All three of them said.
“ Well kids, go get ready, take a shower, and make yourselves look decent.” my mom said.
My brother and I grabbed our bags and made our way to our new rooms for the summer, and I was excited about my room. I went over to the staircase leading to the room above the garage, and carried my stuff up.
“ Man this could really use an elevator...” I said to myself.
I opened the door to see probably the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. It had about three rooms, a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, and the best part was, its all MINE. I could totally have friends over, and have parties and all without my parents having to stalk me every second! I was super excited. I walked through the hallway, to see that this was even bigger than I thought. This was basically like my own apartment! I walked into my bedroom, and it was perfect. The walls were pink, and it had lights lining the ceiling. It looked like the perfect room to be on Tumblr, and get four million reblogs on. It seemed as if my mom was already here, setting up and making everything PERFECT for us. But it wasn’t possible, my mom was never away from us. Then my phone started ringing.
“ Hello?”
“ Megan, stop drooling over your new room and be ready.”
“ What are you talking about?”
“ Mom says we have family coming over, and that she wants you to be ready.”
“ Okay....”
“ Bye.”
“ Bye then..”
It was my brother.. if you couldn’t tell. I started unpacking and picked out one of the cutest outfits I had, after all, we had to make a good impression, I wouldn’t want my family thinking we were slobs, or couldn’t dress ourselves. I plugged my phone into my ihome and then hopped into the shower. I was happy to get all the grime from the plane off, and start to smell better too. When I got out, I curled my hair and did my make up. I went over to my dresser and put some earrings in, and wore a necklace that was a star. I then went to put on my summery dress, and my white cardigan. I looked innocent, but cute. I was still unpacking when my mom called me to tell me to come over into the house. I tidied up all the stuff I had taken out, and then made my way over to the main house. My mom then started to lecture my brother and I on all the rules of the house, and whos gonna have what chores and how I can’t stay in my part of the house all the time, and I have to show my face every few hours. It was a lot to take in, heck she made it seem like we were seriously living here, we were only gonna be here during vacations, it just didn’t seem like she needed to waste her breath on lecturing us.
