♫Your insecure don't know what for your turning head when you walk through the do-o-or♫

My alarm went off to my favorite song, What Makes You Beautiful, and I jumped out of bed. I peered over at my One Direction calendar and crossed one more day off. I thought to myself only 16 days left of junior year. Then I would be a senior, ready to conquer all things. My best friend Selena and I were already planning a summer full of crazy things to do. First thing on the list was go to a One Direction Concert. We had already got our tickets which included v.i.p. passes.

I walked into my bathroom that was connected to my room. I took a shower and quickly put on a cute outfit. I ended up wearing a bright pink top, and jean shorts with my black toms. I looked down at my clock and realized I had only 20 minutes before class started. I quickly put on some makeup and  ran down the stairs to grab some food. 

"Bye mom, I'm leaving" I said as I opened the front door.

"Wait sweetie, we need to talk" she yelled from the living room.

"Can't gonna be late for school, we can talk after school" I told her as I shut the door and jumped in my car. I absolutely loved my car. I had a baby blue 2008  volkswagen beetle that had a convertiable top. I love driving it with the top down and the wind blowing in my hair. It only took me about eight minutes to drive to school.

When arrived at school I saw Selena my best friend. She was always the more adventurous one. I sort of envied that of her. She was carefree and loved everything. We had met in middle school and had been best friends ever since. She had long thin dark brown hair that brushed the middle of her back. She used to be way more of a tom-boy, but I started rubbing off on her and she now dresses way more girlie. We were both into sports and ran together all the time.

I walked up to her and she started talking, "Hey there, so check out this article about One Direction."

She started reading me the article and I was paying attention until I got distracted when my crush, Seth, walked by. We had met back in kindergarten but went to different schools until high school. I always thought there was a connection between us and we had been friends for a long time. He was really cute. He had short brown hair that stuck up a little at the top and brown eyes. His smile was the best feature on his face. He was muscular and had a swimmers body. He was number one in the school and Selena and I had always gone to his meets. He almost always wore a tee-shirt and shorts, with his aviator sunglasses but sometimes when it was hot he would wear a tank top that would show off his biceps. Even thought he was into sports and was number one at the school for swimming, he was not the concited jerk that many of the guys on the football team were. He was kind and caring, and loved kids. I think that was what I loved most about him, that he was so good at taking care of them.

"Look there's Seth!" I put forth with a big smile on my face.

"Yeah, are you even paying attention?" Selena asked looking a bit annoyed. "And just ask him out already, it's the 21st century. Your allowed to do that."

"I know I am but I just can't I'm to chicken. But I'll see you at lunch" I told Selena as I headed for class.

After lunch was over I went home, because I had no more classes for the day. I plopped on the couch and turned on the TV to watch Vampire Diaries, which I had recorded from the night before. A few hours later I must of fallen asleep, because I was awoken by my mom.

"Hey mom, so what did you want to tell me?" I asked curiously. I had no clue what she wanted to tell me, but it sounded important.

"Sweetie" she paused taking a look around the room and then continued, "we're moving, but I think you're going to like where we are moving to" she replied looking a little concerned in waiting my reaction.

"Excuse me? What Why?!?" I practicly shouted. "I hope by 'we' you mean You, Dad, Isabel, and Ben (my younger sister and brother). Because it's almost my senior year, I cannot miss that! Unless were just moving downtown a little ways" I delared stunned at what my mom had told me.

"No, I'm afraid not" she affirmed looking down at the ground.

This is a joke right, I asked myself. "Just for the summer then right?" I questioned. "Because I am not missing my Senior year" I stated loud and clear.

"Your dad got a really good job in London. We will be there for a year. And hey maybe you'll meet that band your always talking about" she responded looking up for my reaction.

"London?!? We are moving out of the country!" What the heck was this? How could I be moving to London. I didn't even make sense. I started speaking again, "And mom, London is so big I doubt I would even see them there. And plus I was already going to meet them this summer. But I guess that's not going to happen!" I shouted as I ran upstairs in disbelief.

"Start packing we are leaving the day after school gets out!" my mom shouted up the stairs.

I quickly puled my phone out of my back pocket and texted Selena with the news that I was leaving.

Me: I have some bad news.... I'm moving.

Selena: What the f***? Seriouly your just joking with me right? 

Me: No, I'm moving to London.

Selena: London? Like as in the UK London? Because that would be so awesome because you could run into One Direction!

Me: Yes, London. What other London is there? And no it is not awesome. I'll be gone for all of senior year!"

Selena: Oh sh*t... That's not good... But what else is there to do... I mean its not like you can't go and it will be a great opportunity. And I mean its a great opportunity to throw a party.

I thought about I for a while. I still didn't know exatly how I felt about the situation at hand. After the conversation ended I texted everyone else in my phone including Seth. I told them I was moving for the year and that I was going to have a going away party next weekend.

The party came and went, and we had a good time. My family and I packed up our stuff and most of it got shipped ahead of us.

The day of our depature already arrived and we would be leaving any minute to go to the airport. I stood in my room making a mental picture of the same room I had grown up in my whole life. I sure was going to miss it here, but I would be back in a year, I thought to my self. My room looked so empty without all my things in it. 

"Sweetie, its time to leave for the airport" My mom shouted from the bottom of the stairs.

"I'll be down  in a second" I stated. I took one last glimps around my room at my green walls. I remember how one summer Selena and I had decided to paint my wall without asking my parents first. That was a good summer. I sighed and turned around and walked down the stairs with my luggage in hand.

We arrived at the airport and many family friend showed up to send us off. We hugged and cried and I told them not to forget me and I would be back before they knew it.

"If you meet One Direction" Selena paused holding back the tears, "get me an autograph?"

"Of course" I said hugging her one last time.

My family and I walked over to security and I took one last glance at my friends and waved goodbye.

We made it through security without any problems and had  a while to wait until our plane would be leaving.

Finally it was time for us to board the plane. I was sitting next to Ben on the first plane ride. It was just one of the small planes because we had to take a stop in San Fransisco first. Then it was a straight flight to London. We boarded the plane in San Fransisco at the local time of 5:05pm. The plane was due in London at around 2 pm the next day. I sat between Isabel and Ben. Ben was on the isle seat and I was next followed by Isabel on my left and then mom and dad next to her. I got confortible in my seat and slowly drifted off.
