When I get out of the airplane, I can already see Kate waiting for me. I wave at her, but she doesn't see me.
I grab my bag, I only took one bag, and walk along with the other people who were in the plane.

"SARAH!!!" Oh my gosh. It's Kate. And she dyed her hair, it's blue?!
"KATEEEE!!! Oh my gosh, Kate, your hair?!" Kate laughs, "Yeah, everyone at our school is dyeing their hair right now. Suzies hair is pink, haha."
"Oh wow.. Guess I missed a lot.." I feel a bit sad right now, Kate and my other friends still get to see each other every day, and do fun things together.. And I haven't seen them for like a month.

The next day, we went shopping with all of our friends. It was so much fun. I've missed this sooo much, having best  friends to hang out with..

One evening, Kate and I went to the roof of Kates house. We always used to sit there when we had sleepovers, and talk about subjects no one could know about, except for us.
"Sarah, how are your parents doing? I mean, they always had little fights, you know. Do they still have those fights?" "Well, it's better than last year. I actually don't know why, but I'm very glad they don't fight about everything anymore," I say.
Kate looks at me. "I'm happy for you, maybe moving was good for them."
Maybe Kate's right. There have been a few positive things that came with moving to America, right?

The rest of the week was amazing. I've never enjoyed being in England so much. And I really don't feel like going back to the USA.

When I step out of the airplane, back in America, I literally want to cry. My week in England was so amazing..
Then my brother calls me. "Sarah!! Where have you been all week?!"
"Stefan.. I-I uhm.. I went to England.." I start crying, again. "I just missed it so much.."
"Oh Sarah.. Why didn't you just tell me? I couldn't reach you for an entire week! Derek and Isabelle told us you were going to England.."
"Ugh shit," I say. "Are mom and dad mad at me?"
"Nah, not anymore. I convinced them that you needed it."
"Thank you so much.."

Stefan picks me up at the airport, with our parents' car. We talk a bit, about how my break was, and his break.
"Stefan.. There's something I want to tell you. Remember I told you that I really liked school, and had a lot of friends?" Oh this is so hard, even though I trust Stefan 10000%..
"Yeah.. I remember. Why?"
"Well, that was all lies. I hate school, and I don't have any friends. I spend my lunch breaks all alone on the toilet." There. It's out.
"Oh Sarah.. You should have told me before! You know what you should do? You should join a club or a team in school!"
"Huh? What kind of club or team do you mean?"
"Well, they have a cheerleading team, a debating club, gymnastics team, dance team.."
I interrupt him, "Dance team? There's a dance team? I miss my dance class in England so much!"
He smiles, "Sarah, this is the perfect opportunity for you to make some friends, and continue dance!"
"Thank you so much, Stef, I really missed you this week."

When we get home, we decide to go swimming in our inside pool. It was kind of awesome. Maybe living in America isn't that bad.
