Friends with Benefits

The Move

A/N: Hey gais and gals. I forgot what i was going to tell you bc i have a sister who's annoying. So I'll say that this takes place when Maya is 7 spoiler alert, shes a little sassy. Alright letss goo.

(Maya's P.O.V.)-

I can't believe this is happening. My mum just told me that we are moving HALF WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY OF AUSTRALIA! I mean from Darwin to Sydney? That's really long away. I'm so mad I could... I could.. Ugh!! I could just scream!

"But mum! I have so many friends here!! Why even are we moving?! No one knows me there. No one will like me there! Ugh I'm so mad right now! Why didn't you tell me early that we were moving basically across the country?!" I scream at her.

"Honey we are moving because your father got a new job I've told you this at least a million times already." She explains, "You 'll make new friends in no time! I'm sure everyone will love you when they to know you, and they'll know you eventually when you get be open to new people, and  please don't act miserable."

"Fine." I huff and walk back to my room.

This is the last time I'll be in this room before I leave for Rouse Hill, Sydney  tomorrow morning. I decided to go to bed early tonight. I've said goodbye to all my friends and shared a few cries. I'm exhausted. I soon fall asleep to the sounds of Lana Del Rey's album Paradise playing in the background.

[Next Morning]-

(Maya's P.O.V.)-

"Maya.."

"Maya.?"

"MAYA!"

I scream and sit up.

"I'M AWAKE. I'M AWAKE!" I yell. Seeing my mum standing in front of me with some more empty boxes for the extra little things I needed to keep out such as my bed sheets, my alarm clock, etc. She also has an armful of clothes for me to wear today.

"Okay good. Here's an extra box for some of the things you still have out. Put this outfit on and pack up. Come downstairs for breakfast when your finished." She smiles at me as I stand up and take the items from her arms and set them on my bed.

"Okay, thanks Mum." I start to change and shes walking while mumbling something along the lines of what time we need to leave to get to the airport and what were having for breakfast so i just nod my head and finish dressing. Then I go to my bathroom and throw my hair into a messy bun.

"I'm going to miss having my own bathroom." I sigh. Then go off to start packing up.

I finish packing and go downstairs to put the box along with all the others labeled 'Maya's Bedroom". Then walk in the kitchen to get a chocolate chip pancake with a glass of milk. I gobble it up and go back upstairs and see what my mom is doing. I walk into her room and see her in her bathroom. I go in there a little hyper from my breakfast.

"Watchy'a doin' Mum?" I say in a really high pitched  voice.

"Oh, just packing up some extra things we left behind. Why?"

"I wanted to know if youv'e seen my phone charger?"

(A/N: lol yes i know she's 7 right now.. but let's face it 4 year olds have phones now a days, ok.)

"Uh.. No I don't think I have. Check my dresser. My iPad charger might be on there."

"Okay, thanks Mum, Love ya!" I say walking back into her bedroom.

"Love you too Honey."

Sure enough she had a charger on her dresser. I go back downstairs and plug my phone in knowing I'll need some battery for this long ride to Sydney, Australia. I put my gold iPhone 5S on the floor of what was our living room. The movers just finished packing up the couches and tables. All that's left is the T.v. and the little table that it's on.

I turn it on to see what time it is and it's only 8 so we have at least ten more minutes before we need to leave to make it to the airport in time. I yell to my mum and tell her that it's already 8 o'clock. She tells me to wake up my 2 year old baby brother Lucas so I jog up the stairs and into his room. I shake him a bit and tell him that we're leaving soon. So he gets up and I help him get dressed and take him downstairs for his breakfast. I warm his pancake up and put some syrup on it for him and make him a bottle of chocolate milk just the way he likes it. He finishes his meal and I rinse things off and clean up a bit when mum rushes down the stairs to put the rest of the silverware and dishes into the last open box and close it with some tape. Label it 'FRAGILE, KITCHEN" and carefully set it with the boxes that say kitchen.

I was playing with Lucas when I checked the time on my phone and it was 8:12. I yelled to mum and told her that we need to go. So we all get into the car, and she calls dad. He went to the airport early to make sure the tickets were correct and pay for them. She says we're on our way and we'd be there in 15 minutes or less and with that we're off to the airport.

[At the Airport]-

(still Maya's P.O.V.)-

In no time were here. We meet dad at the entrance to our airplane, he hands us our tickets and passports, and we enter the long hallway to the airplane. We get on the plane find our seats and get comfortable. This is my first time on an airplane so I'm really nervous. Lucas is asleep so he won't get to fully experience his first plane ride, although he wouldn't remember it anyway.

A while later, and I mean a long while later, the flight attendant lady tells us about safety and all the things they say when you get on an airplane and she ends by telling us to put our seat belts on and thanks us for flying with whatever company this is. The jets start to whirl and we start to move. It's not long after that when we're in the air. I'm not nervous anymore I'm actually really excited. I watch us fly until i got too tired to pay attention to anything. So i close my eyes and drift off into a long nap for a very long plane ride.

(A/N)- This is my first chapter. I've never been on an airplane so I kinda just guessed on some of this, lol oops sorry not sorry. Anyways, I hope you like it. I'll update again.. Maybe on Thursday.  I want to get into the habit of updating every Monday and Thursday. Oke Baii
