"Lil!!" i heard mom yell. "Get down here right now. We should have been on the road by now". i don't know why my little sister doesn't want to move to New York, but if she doesn't get down here i swear i'm gonna go up those stairs and drag her down myself. I mean, this is New York we're talking about . That's where dreams come true isn't it. And i feel it in my bones that that's where my dreams will too.
Unless my witch of a sister doesn't get down here in ten seconds. That's it. I'm going up to get her. I got out of the car and ran into the house and went up to Lilac's (or Lil's room as we call her). i open the door to see that she isn't in there. i search around and find her feet sticking out from under her bed. I've got you now. "come on" I say as i drag her out from under the bed and carry her downstairs. She struggles in my grip but i manage to get her into the car and lock the door in time.
I put on my sit belt and notice my brother Jason(or JJ) busily texting someone. I roll my eyes. It's probably one of his girlfriends he's saying goodbye to before we leave. Oh i can't wait to leave. Like,um... let's hit the road already. "Rita!!" I yell to my mum who's still in the house. "can we get a move on" She comes out of the house holding her purse and says "mom" to me in a stern voice before sitting down and driving off .
throughout most of the ride Lilac is whining on about how she doesn't wanna go, which i find rather stupid. Jason hasn't said a word since left. I wonder what's up with him. Maybe having to leave all his adoring fans back at school. He shouldn't worry about it i'm sure he'll have many more in New York. Probably be the school heart throb.

Anyways, we're here. I can't believe it we're actually in New York. I'm like already obsessed. Look how tall the buildings are' i'm gonna explode. i literally can't even... I'm really excited about living here but i'm kinda nervous for school to start. i'm not really the best at making friends. People usually think i'm strange, odd, peculiar as some would put it. But i do consider myself a Unique People person. School starts in two days. Gives me a chance to settle in properly i guess.
OOh we just reached the apartment building. Boy, i can't wait to decorate my room. It's gonna be great!!!(vote if you get that reference). I ran out of the car and leave Jason to get the bags. I quickly follow mom to the apartment. Lilac stays in the car. before i'm completely out of earshot, i hear Jason talking to her. "hey c'mon Lil. Give it a try. It might not be so bad. You might even like it".
I ran into the apartment and looked out the window. God the view is amazing. Ooh I see central Park. "Rita once we get settled can we go to central park?" i asked Rita. "Yeah sure. And it's Mom. Jason can take you and Lil". Jason comes in and sets most of our luggage down. With Lil moping Behind him. "You're taking us to the park". I tell him pulling him back down the stairs. "wait what??" he looked to Rita. "Uhh, Rit-Mom ??" mom just nodded telling him to go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I ran ahead of the two slowpokes behind me and took it all in. I love this city. As i wander around the park, i bump into someone and knocked myself down."oh sorry ...um..uh...i'm so sorry. Let me help you up". I look up to see a really cute freckled boy. He had really curly black hair. Oh God. "hey. sorry i should look where i'm going. uh.. it's just my first time in New York and .. I uh.. was just wandering around..you know...taking everything in...it's a really big city. Well at least i'm here with family which i should probably find. " i blab on and start to walk away. I spot Jason and Lil across the park and run over to them.
"there you are Lav, i was getting worried."Jason said. "c'mon JJ, you know me better than that" I reply with a smirk. "Anyway can we go back home now?" Lilac asks, speaking to JJ. "yh Lav we really should get back, i mean, we haven't even unpacked yet" Jason says. "ugh whatever,You know just because you're the oldest doesn't make you in charge of everything" i say as i roll my eyes. "it kinda does"He smirks before turning and leading the way back to the apartment. i notice some girls checking him out and he gives them a wink. I literally can't with this guy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mom's already unpacked some stuff by the time we got home."Hey Rita" i say as i ran into my room to start unpacking some of my stuff. I hang up my dream girls poster and Lock my door. "Hey Deena, can you believe we're in New York right now" ok,ok, i know it's weird but talking to my poster helps me deal with stuff like anxiety and stuff like that. "I'm kinda nervous about school on Monday but i can deal. all i have to do is stay positive you know, It's gonna be great!!" i got of my bed and went into the kitchen for some Munch munch (food).
JJ's on the phone with somebody when i get there. Apparently, mom and Lil went to the grocery store to get some munch munch. So i decided to sneak into Jason's room and steal his guitar. Don't worry i do this all the time though he doesn't approve. I sneak past JJ who's still on the phone and go back to my room. As i play a soft melody on the guitar, for some reason i start thinking about that cute boy i saw at the park. I know i'll probably never see him again but that doesn't stop me from thinking about his freckles, and curly hair and those eyes. "L, put my guitar back, ooh and Smackdown Live is on" Jason yells from the living room. Oh smackdown live. JJ and i always watch that show together. And i mean always. If he ever watched it without me i would probably murder him.No, I will definitely murder him. "coming" i yell back before i returned his guitar and joined him on the couch. As i watch AJ styles enter the ring, I think about school on Monday. i really hope i don't become the school's weird girl again.Well we'll have to wait and see.
