We get out of the car we rented at the airport and I can't help staring for a minute. The house we were now going to live in was much bigger than our other house.

"Ok, you're going to have to figure out what room you want. If I were you I'd get to the room you want first." He gestures toward the house. "Go, if you find the room you want it's yours. Finders keepers."

At those words we jump out of the rental car and run into the house. The door was already unlocked. We all stop when we get inside. The house looked so big on the outside, but it was much bigger on the inside. We take a moment but then we're back to running.

I rush up the grand staircase followed by Jay then Taylor. The staircase opens up to a wide hallway. I turn to the door on my right; Taylor chooses the door right across from mine and Jay chooses the one a little farther down the hall.

We all look at each other and nod then we open our doors and enter the room.

In my room I stare. It was well lit, with a bed in the middle of the wall in front of me. There were beautifully styled windows on either side on the bed, each with window seats. To my left against the wall was a wooden desk and the wall to my right had two doors. I walk over and open the one closest to the windows. I walk into my own private bathroom.

It had everything. It had a separate shower and a tub. The tub had water jets, color changing lights, and a temperature control panel identical to the showers.

The sink had granite counter tops. The cabinets were wooden and were spacy.

I close the door to the bathroom and open the other door.

Walk in closet. It had shelves and racks and drawers and compartments made just for shoes. And it was all made of cherry wood.

It certainly isn't anything like my other house. But I can safely say that this house was beautiful.

Taylor rushes in the room. Her face was red. She was excited about something, no doubt.

"Omigosh, Omigosh, Omigosh, Omigosh! My room is so freaking huge and it..." she stops and looks around. "Actually it looks almost just like this." She says smiling at me.

"I know right!" I say. "This," I say gesturing around. "Is amazing."

She looks over my shoulder and her smile grows. She walks over to the window and her eyes get big. "Not to mention we have a pretty good view."

"I know." But I knew nothing until I sat onto my window seat next to her.
