"Chris! Are you ready?!" Y/N called from the exit.

"Yeah! Almost!" I called. It was the second day and today we will be going to Birmingham. It was nine in the morning and I was wearing a brown leather jacket and blue jeans plus white trainers that Y/N had brought for me yesterday. Apparently, she said there was a pizzeria where they sell free ice-creams and pizza  just between a place named Solihull and Birmingham. I don't know if it was the one that mum was talking about which was named: Freddy Fazbear's Pizza but I'll soon see. I was so excited. We were going to live in a place that I've never seen before! I rushed to the exit from the bedroom and dashed downstairs into S/N  S/F/CB (Sibling's faviourte car brand). It was a f/c S/F/CB and it seemed so brand new too. I hopped in at the back, as Y/N hopped into the passenger's seat beside him/her. As we started heading off, I looked outside the window, seeing if there was something new that I didn't know there was. Y/N had sent her stuff in boxes to a van yesterday and it'll be there around two today. So we had plenty of time to explore the area as well before they arrive.

"So, Chris? Got anyone that lives in Birmingham?" S/N asked, looking at the mirror at the top to look at me as he/she drove, keeping his/her eyes on the road. I shook my head.

"No. Not a single friend there." I responded, looking at him/her and back to the window.

"How about your school? I didn't seem to think about it. Are you sure you still want to move and leave all your friends behind?" Y/N told me. I sighed. I also didn't think that one through. How about Sally? She's my best friend... How could I abandon her like that? I could've gone to her house and ask her if she wanted to run away with me... But it's too late now...

"I... I don't know. I'm still positive I want to get away from Lucus. He'll give me hell. I don't care about school back there. The school was also hell. No-one really liked me anyway, except Sally that is." I saw S/N and Y/N glance at one another in confusion.

"And... Won't you miss her?" Y/N questioned.

"Nah. I'll be fine." No. I wasn't going to be fine because Sally was the only girl and friend I've ever had. She cared for me. She would defend me whenever I was bullied by my brother or by his friends too. She was more than a best friend to me. She was like my sister except for a school sister friend. I WILL miss her a lot. For the rest of the journey, I kept looking at the window but then I eventually fell asleep. Not knowing how long I was asleep for, I heard a loud siren roar past us as I awoke in an alert. I looked outside the window and noticed that we were in a random place that I didn't know of. Then it hit me. Birmingham.

"Are we here? In Birmingham?" I asked, excitedly. Y/N giggled and shook her head.

"No. Almost though. We will be in a few minutes. Look out for the door F/N." She told me. I nodded and looked outside the window. F/N. Right. That's when we went to a corner and there stood tons of buildings... I stared outside the window but when I realized S/N was speaking to me, I turned to look at him/her and relaxed in my seat, stopping to look for the door number.

"Wait what? I didn't hear what you said, S/N. Whatchya say?" I said, confused.

"I asked if you would like to go to F/P/S/N (Faviourte Primary school name)," he said simply, as he kept his eyes on the road.

I shrugged. "Alright..." Is all I said. F/P/S/N... I've never heard of that school before... Hmph. Anyway, I just hope I would get a good life there for the meantime. Not like my old primary school, Tawery Primary School. As we turned to a corner, I looked outside the window and saw the lane, Solihull. I then kept an eye at the door numbers.

"210, 245, 212, 213..." I counted quietly as I watched the door numbers suddenly blur out from the amount of time I've been staring outside the window. I shook my head and looked outside again. Then everything slowed down and then I suddenly saw the door. F/N. There it stood. A F/C front door. S/N parked the car and I bolted out from my seat, opening the car door. Y/N followed on behind, saying a farewell to S/N before coming towards me with the keys.

"I see you're excited." She said, smiling as she unlocked the door.

"Excited?! Hell Yeah, I am!" I shouted and as soon as she opened the door, I dashed inside. Straight away, I knew I would love my new life here.
