"I know Grace! I'll call you at least once a week....... I'll miss you too. I've gotta go. Bye" I end the phone call with my best friend when the speaker calls my gate number. I think the only thing I'll miss in Tampa is Grace. It's hard, ya know? We've been best friends since 6th grade.
Once I get situated in the planes seat, I pull out my phone and text Nicole (or Mrs. Moran)Me: "Hey Mrs. Moran, it's Maddy! I just got seated on the plane. Thank you again for letting me stay with you! I'm wearing a blue shirt and jeans, so keep your eyes open for me! :)"
I bite my nails and stare out the window. What if they don't like me? I mean, I'm a stranger who's suddenly bombarding into their life's. I should've just stayed at home and suffered. My thoughts get interrupted by the familiar beeping of my phone. It's a text from Nicole... Oh god, here comes the rejection. She's gonna be shocked that I'm coming!! Maddy what have you gotten yourself into?!
Nicole: "Alright sweetie, see you in a few hours! Glad you're coming to stay with us. The boys are really excited too! How does a 'welcome to California' lunch sound? :)"
....okay then. Maybe I was getting myself worried for nothing. Who knows, well just have to wait and see.
I send Nicole a short text, telling her thank you. I put in my earbuds and start playing a Green Day song. Just as the next track starts, I'm asleep.

I wake up right when the plane starts to land. Good job, Maddy. I've always been an easy sleeper.
I put my iPod and earphones back in my backpack and wait for a flight attendant to tell us we can leave. Lucky me, I'm in one of the first rows.When she gives the signal, I text Nicole and tell her that I've landed. She replys; telling me her and her family are at baggage claim.
I spot her as soon as I get to baggage claim.. Why? Because she's holding up a big poster for me with my name written in huge purple letters.
Okay Maddy. This is it.
This is your new life. This might even be your new family.I smile to Mrs. Moran and start walking towards her.
Here goes nothing.
