Chapter 1 When everything was about to change...

I'm Lai Levy, I'm 16. I live in Portugal. A beautiful country in Europe. You have a lot of beaches and sea, lot's of sea. I love to sale, with my family and to be free. I'm in a french school and I speak French, Portuguese, Spanish and English ofc. My life is perfect, I have nothing to complain about.

I have a lot of friends that are always here for me, family who support me but, there's always a but: I've always felt a void in my life and I think I know how to fill it.

I've always been fascinated with the US. I've been to half of the world, Asia (India), Africa (Mozambique, São Tomé, Guinea-Bissau , South Africa...), Europe (France, Spain...) and America (Mexico, Brazil...) but I've never been to the US. I feel like I belong there even though I've never been there, so I've decided to go to the US and finish my studies there with the IB program.

When I finally managed to convince my parents to let me go live my dream, I was happier than ever. I was willing to "give up" (not literally ofc) everything just to go there.

I was going alone, I knew no one, I was going to a new family in LA witch is a 10 hour flight away from my real family.

Preparing my departure. Preparing the goodbyes. Preparing everything I'm gonna need for the next 7 years.

The last month I was enjoying it till the end.

All of my girl friends gathered and we had a photoshoot together to always remember about eachother.

The last week: I was crying everywhere, thinking OMG how am I gonna survive without this...

The last day: everything was ready, I was ready to leave. Honestly I was scared but deep down I knew that it was going to be amazing and I'm super organised and mature so everything's gonna be just fine...

The day: I woke up in the early morning, couldn't sleep anymore. It was 5 am. I ate something and get off to take a run. I saw the sun raising up, it was amazing! I was gonna miss everything so fu**ing muchhhhhh.

My plane was at 10pm, so I spent my day with lot of friends and then my family took me to the airplane.

I had three travel bags with me that had all of my clothes, belongs and stuff.

On the plane I couldn't sleep, I had download 3 full seasons of FRIENDS.

10 hours later...

I got off of the plane and then went to pick up my luggage and waited for my new family to take me home. I was so tired!!

They were there with a cartoon saying Lai Levy with a <3. They seemed so kind and funny.

I approached them and they were "hey, are you Lai? We're so anxious to meet you girl!"

I said " yeah!! I want to meet you all so bad too! I'm really sorry to be like this today, I'm so tired, I promise that I won't be always like this ahah ".

They said "no worries! Go get some rest for this week before school to meet new people and new places! We're 20 minutes away from home, It's not that long."

We went home and quickly to bed, I was so happy!!!!!!!!

Sorry guys, I promise that it won't be crap, it get's better, I swear... Byeee I'm gonna try to upload next week <3
