Hello I'm Ally. Al to my friends. I am from Vancouver Canada and ever since I was a little girl I have wanted to move to the US. Most of my family on my dads side live their so I could just stay with them, it sounded fun. See, when I pictured moving to the US I thought of New York, or LA, or even Nevada. But when my mom told me I would be doing the last three years of high school in Utah I was shocked. Before I had time to disagree I was shipped to Salt Lake City to live with my Aunt, Uncle, and cousin Big Red. That pretty much catches you up to speed. I'm currently on a plane to Salt Lake City, Utah, Yay!
"Please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts, we are now landing in our destination, the beautiful town of Salt Lake City." The loud speaker sounds. The moment the plane lands my new American life begins. I guess I can say goodbye to free health care. Ugh I wish my life were a movie.
🦋🦋 I get my bags and stuff them onto the car. " Ally, we are so glad you're staying with us! You will get to stay in Reds old room now that he stays in the basement." My Uncle begins. " oh and don't worry it's not gonna be a ugly smelly boys room, we redid it when we found out you were coming to stay with us." My Aunt added. I gave a tight lipped smile and closed the trunk. It wasn't like I wasn't excited to be here, and it's not like I hated my family. As a matter of fact me and Big Red used to be very close. I guess we drifted apart when we got more mature. Still I'm glad to be seeing him again and catch up with him.
It wasn't long after we left the airport that we got to their house, or our house now I guess. I got inside and was surprised. It's not what I expected, at all. "Big Red, Ally is here!" My aunt called. "He'll be up soon, don't worry." My uncle said giving me a slight pat on the back. Like Beetlejuice, Big Red came running up the stairs. "Hey Al! How was your flight?" He said with a big smile. "Long" I replied. He laughed and a silence painted the room. My aunt clapped her hands together breaking the silence. "Red help your cousin bring her stuff up to her room please and thank you" and he did just that. He led me up the stairs and down a long hallway where a white door with a gold handle stood. I grabbed the handle twisted it and opened the door. It was like I had just been sucked into a Barbie movie because of how cutesy this room was. Not in a bad way. My aunt and uncle weren't wrong, this place looked like it had been newly added and never touched by my cousin. It was really pretty, it was mainly white and light pink, it had a beautiful bed in the centre. And little pink and white picture frames scattered around the room. Just beautiful. "Hey, one of my friends is coming over later if you wanna meet him, he's my age so a year older than you, but it could still be nice for you to meet someone before school starts next week." Big Red said with a smile. "Yeah, for sure. What's his name?" I ask in return. " Ricky, he's my best friend." He says full of pride. I giggle a bit and nod then big red leaves my room and lets me unpack. For some reason the Name Ricky sounded familiar, big red said that they were best friends, he might have been mentioned once or twice when we were growing up but I don't know. I finish unpacking my room and go to freshen up.
