i have one rule - ruel

1 : the move

mila's pov

i can't wait to move to australia. family has been really rough, my dad lost his job about a year ago and didn't have anything to do so he stayed home and relied on my mum. eventually he got bored and started drinking. a lot. he drank so much to the point where he would start to be abusive to my mum. they got a divorce and we moved from north london to central thinking that he was far away enough. he wasn't. he started showing up at my school, at my mums work, and he found out where we lived. we all were terrified of what he could do so we decided the safest thing to do was to move country. thank god my mum was offered a job in sydney or else i don't know where we would've gone, but we decided to go for it and move to sydney. how is my dad going to get us if we are on the other side of the world? exactly, he won't. i hope.

school life has also been hard. i lost all my friends because a new girl came to my school. everyone slowly one by one just cut me out of their lives. i tried so hard to find out why exactly they replaced me with her but i guess they just don't care about me.

i'm packing up my last box full of clothes and i stare at my empty room. all that's left is a bed and a table. i'm kinda sad to be leaving. i mean i've lived here for all of my life but i'm so glad that we are moving far away. i can get a fresh start where no one knows me and i can just be myself. i bring the last box out to the car, my uncle and my mum drive off to the post office to get them sent to australia a couple days before we leave so we get there the same time.

"this is kinda sad don't you think?" my brother liam says as he closes the front door

"ya but aren't you happy too?"

"ya, i guess" he said, recently he has made a lot of new friends and is finally having fun

"come on, it's fine this is the only way we can be safe" i say hugging him

i go into my room and start looking at my new school. it's kind of intimidating, it has a lot of students that are overachievers. i'm just okay. i see on the google page that some famous person goes there but i don't read it. probably fake or something.

*two days later*

i bring my suitcase out to the car and my family and i all say our last goodbyes to the house. we arrive at the airport and i can't believe we are actually moving. i am so excited. i can't wait. we check in and wait for our plane to board.

we board the plane and are finally on the way to sydney, australia. oh my god what if the people there are nasty to me? what if i don't make any friends? am i overthinking? oh my god.

a good 22 hours of flying later we finally land in sydney and it feels so good to be here. i can feel the heat through the windows as it is january. very different to london's weather at this time. we go through immigration and got our bags and we took a taxi to our new house.

"so guys here we are" my mum said "what do you want to do first?"

"i think once we settle in i'm going to walk around the neighbourhood, maybe go to the city for a bit" i said looking out the window

"i'm going to see my friends for a bit" liam said

i'm kinda mad he has friends here but i guess it's better to have a complete fresh start.

once we arrive at our house i unpack my clothes into my closet along with the boxes we sent. i finish making my bed and hanging up a couple things on the wall but eventually i got bored. it's around 2pm now so i decide i want to discover australia a bit. maybe go to central i don't know though. i throw on an oversized pink golf wang t shirt with biker shorts underneath. i put on my white converse one stars. i walk downstairs into the kitchen.

"hey mum can i go out for a bit?"

"oh sure here" she hands me money "oh and have fun sweetie"

"thank you mum, love you" i head out the door and start walking towards the bus stop.

i hop on the bus and head towards the nearest train station. once i get there i hop onto another train and decide to head to circular quay. once i get there i immediately see the harbour bridge. this is such a tourist thing to do, see the harbour bridge. but i just walk around and all of a sudden i hear some person singing call out my name by the weeknd.

i can't see who is singing but it's so good. i start walking towards the voice until i find this cute and tall person singing into a microphone and playing his guitar. there's a huge crowd, mainly filled with girls, he's obviously such a chick magnet. he has that smirk that makes girls so crazy. i stay and watch him sing. i'm standing a few meters in front of him. i'm in awe, normally i stay for a song but something about this boy is making me stay. he looks up at the crowd and suddenly stops and makes eye contact with me. he's still staring at me. he's probably not looking at me so i look at the people next to me and then back to him and his eyes are still on me. he does that fuckboy head nod thing and smirks. wow.

i stay watching him until he stops. most people are gone and he packs up his stuff. everyone claps so i join in too. he looks at me again as he's putting his guitar back in his case. he winks again. what is he doing to me? i've only been in sydney for a couple hours. how has this happened? i smile back and i feel myself blushing. i start to walk away and take in the gorgeous view of the harbour bridge. i stand against to railing and i just stand there in my own thoughts, i'm so happy. but i can't stop thinking about that boy. no i'm not thinking about him. he probably does that with every girl he sees. i turn around to go find something to eat but i see him there. standing in front of me with the biggest smile on his face.
