A new beginning

Lyrics POV
I was walking through the narrow hallway of St Claire's boarding school for girls one last time. I felt sad remembering all the memories I had at that school and I didn't want to leave, not yet anyway.

In around eight hours I have to leave England and go to live in America. I've heard lots of good things about it there, but it just doesn't feel right to move. All of my friends and family (except my dad who's going with me there) lived in England and I would miss them all too much.

My mother died giving birth to me and I've always felt bad for it like it was all my fault. That's why I'm kind of glad being at boarding school because I don't have to be around my dad and feel bad. Anyway four weeks ago I found out dad had a girlfriend I never knew about, from America and apparently she's moving back there and wants dad and I to go with her. It was really awkward because being at a boarding school my principle was the one who had to tell me. It was all so fast, I can't believe he never told me about her but I guess It was the disadvantage of living 500 km away from him.

Anyway I was walking down the hallway on my way to the principles office,where my dad was going to pick me up. As I was about to enter the office I could feel myself slowing down. I so badly didn't want to enter that room and never come back to this school.it was my last year of school and I had to leave everything behind. This girlfriend better be pretty good for making me and dad move half way around the world for her.

I knocked quietly but just loud enough for someone to hear and waited for about 5 seconds before I herd a voice call me in. Inside the room I saw the headmistress, my dad and the vice principle standing and looking at me. I walked over to my dad

"Hello" my dad said with a smile, It's probably been a year since I saw him last and I had missed him lots
"Hi" is all I could respond since I was still nervous about leaving and that the headmistress was right in front of me.

I then herd the headmistress talking about how it was a pleasure having me at the school and she wishes me the best for America. Then about half an hour later it was time for me to get my stuff and go.

The car ride from my school to the airport was really long. Dad and I had a good conversation and I forgot about everything, like moving when I spoke to him but I couldn't go on forever, after we finished talking I was nervous again.

" Lyric?" Dad asked referring to me (bad name i know right, my parents were really into music)

" Yes" I replied

"Are you okay, you seem a little down" he asked worried " I'm so sorry about it all, you know the moving but I think it will be good for us, Melanie is really nice and is very keen on meeting you" I'm guessing Melanie is the girlfriend

" it's ok" I lied " I'll just miss school and my friends"

" oh that's ok, Melanie said that the schools there are really good but I guess coming from your school it will be quite different and I'm sure you'll make good friends in America your a brilliant young girl" my father was so exited about the move I could just tell.

About 20 minutes later we arrived at the airport. I met Melanie, she was really nice, I think she must have been around 2 years younger than my dad which was ok, I was just wishing that he wasn't going out with some young girl in her twenties or something like that. I've heard dads can do and that just would've weird. We still had 4 hours until our flight was leaving so I thought I should just go look around the airport shops.
