I hate them! We moved here to Gothenburg from Stockholm a year ago and now we're moving again! And this time it's not even in Sweden. My name is Madeleine and I'm 18 years old, my life is not very interesting.. I'm just a normal teenage girl, stressed, depressed and band obsessed. Internet is like my life, no wonder I don't have many friends.. Well, here's the thing. I have a pretty good life in Gothenburg, 2 best friends, Emilia and Matilda. I went to a great gymnasium and had good grades. Me and my family lived in an apartment. I had everything I needed. But now, my dad got a new job in Brighton in England. That means I have to move like, 100 miles from my friends and the only place I feel safe! I'm so angry right now.. I don't know anyone in Brighton, and I have no siblings so that means I have to try to survive a new school without some kind of safe zone. People will judge me, everyone's eyes will be on me the first day. What if I get bullied? I'm not very good looking.. I don't have a hot body either. Bikini model? NOPE. I have two choices, try to make friends, or keep silent and focus on the grades. Right now I like the second choice.

"Madeleine! Get your bags, we have to be at the airport in 1 hour!" My mum yells even though she's in the hall beside my room.

Now it's the long way home.
