"Mom, dad... Do we really need to move away?" I asked them both. They decided it was better for the family to move to the U.S since dad got a new job. "Yes, darling. I've told you... We're still coming to Mexico to visit family and friends, but we won't longer be living here. Now please, take your bags and get in the car." My dad told me. I knew it was for the best, but I really love Mexico, and it's going to be hard for me to leave and fit in the U.S. I've been there before, and my english is pretty good since I've been tought since young. Now I'm almost 14. "Okay dad. I will." I said and did what he told me.
We got to the plane and I couldn't be more excited. Yes, I'll miss al my friends, and family; I'll miss my life. But I belive things happen for a reason. I'll make new friends and stuff... Maybe it's not going to be that bad. I focused all the way in the plane thinking of all the good things, trying to stay positive. I had a few friends I've made when I visited my aunt so maybe we'll get to know each other better, and maybe I wouldn't be that alone. I thought of how my life changed in three days, pretty amazing. Eventually I fell asleep, under sweet songs.
"Hun, wake up! We've already arrived. Wake up dear!" I heard my mom calling me. I put myself together and seated well. I stood up and took my bags and stuff. We went out of the plane and my dad called a Taxi. My brothers were still half asleep, as I was. We got into the cab and my parents started talking about how beautiful the house was. We arrived into our new home, and I was real optimist about it. It was big, and I was the first one to get in; wich meant: the first one to pick a bedroom. I took the one on the last floor. The upper one. It looked more like an attic, but it had potential. Some workers and helpers started getting my stuff into the room, so I went donwstairs to see everyone. I went to the kitchen and mom was already cooking lunch. They came before and took some of our forniture, so the house didn't feel that empty. "What do you think Lari?" Mom asked. "It's pretty nice, but I might need new forniture for my new bedroom..." "Well then... You know what you have to do." By that, she didn't meant work, well yes, but work in school. All my parents have ever asked me to do, was to do good in job. If I did, I'd get anything I deserve, or that's what they say. "Yes Mother. I'm gonna take a walk, just to see around. A saw a mall near, I'll be here by five." "Okay, take your phone if anything and be careful" "Bye!"
I got out of the house and put my headphones on. I got three new messages and tons of notifications. I answered the messages first. One was from an american friend, other from my boo and finally from an unknown number. I answered the one from my friend giving her my adress; to my boo telling her I was okay and not to worry; and didn't answer the one from the weirdo who got confused sending me his grocery list. I got to the mall and instantly got to starbucks, I know... cliche. I ordered a frappe and waited for it. When I finally got it I decided to go back home. I don't have money anyways. I was still on my phone when I crashed into someone. I checked myself and then looked to the other person. It was a boy.
"¡Ay dios mío!" I screamed, pushing my mexican away... "Oh my god, are you okay? I'm sorry I was distracted..." I said helping the guy to stand up. "Er... Yeah, no problem. Are you okay?" He said, and I was caught by his blue eyes. "Oh god! You're Hayes Grier...!" I said not screaming, but still showing excitement on my voice. "Can I take a pic?" I asked. "Sure" I took a pic and then locked my phone and put it on my pocket. "Er...What was the first thing you said?" "Oh, "Ay dios mío"?" I asked and he nodded, still confused. "Oh, is oh my god in spanish. I'm mexican!" I told him. While I talked I noticed him looking at my face, instead of my eyes. "Oh well... When I talk to people I apriciate that they look into my eyes, instead of my freckles and or achne..." I said. Maybe I sounded rude, but it was true. I'm 13, am a new teen and yes, I have pimples, so what? I don't like people staring at them... "Oh, sorry I was just-" "Don't be sorry. Is normal, I get that a lot..." I said. "Oh no I-" "I thought you were different. Again, I get that a lot..." I said walking away. Yeah, I felt dissapointed. I just met Hayess Grier, and he stared at my imperfections, I can't blame him so I just walked away. "HEY! HEY!" I heard someone, I looked back and Hayes was running to me. "Okay, so we started with the wrong foot..." He said still trying to breathe normally. "Can I get your number and maybe see each other again? right.." "Oh well, no. Like I said, I'm mexican. i just moved in today, I haven't got my line here..." "Oh well... can I get your kik or something?" I took his phone from his hands and add myself. "Oh I'm Larissa by the way..." I said smiling. And walked away.
"Lari, lunch is ready!" My little brother, Lucca, told me. I got down stairs and seated in the table. "So um... Luis, have you talked with your cousin?" Dad asked my older brother. "Yeah, I'll meet him later to see the school program and stuff... And maybe we'll go to the beach." "Okay, can you take Lucca with you?" "No dad." Luis answered. Lucca is only 6, and Luis is 16 and he would never take him anywhere. "Lari, what about you?" Mom asked me. "Well, I met a boy. And I'll see Ashley later, and yes, I can take Lucca with me..." I said, I knew I had no choice. "Great" After that we all ate in silence, till everyone was gone.
I took my time organizing my room and decorating it while listenning to music. I texted Ashley to see what we were going to do and aware her about Lucca comming. She finally decided to go to the beach. Her older sister and her boyfriend were going, and her boyfriend's brother and sister were going too, so Ashley had no choice. I told my mom and she was okay since Ashley's sister was older and could drive me there. I got myself ready. I put my black bikini on, got some shorts and a tank top with my sandals and helped Lucca get ready. I took a bag and put the towels, sunscreen, Lucca's toys and stuff there. I put my glasses on and waited for Ashley. This might be interesting. I can finally get to know Cali as a citizen. How fun.
