"Chloe, can you please do some good and sit on this suitcase so I can close it instead of you doing whatever you are doing now?" I grunted to the girl who sat on my bed doing literally nothing.
"Alright take it easy, I will help you. Just wait one second." my lazy best friends said. I was going down to London for the summer, earn some money before I go to UNI in Newcastle in the autumn. I have dreamt about this for the majority of my life. Now it's finally just a summer away. My mum will come over in the end of the summer and help me move. Dad will give me a lift down to London where I found a flat to let for the summer. You may think it's weird that I'm moving down to London on my own for a whole summer and then after that going straight up to Newcastle on my own once again. But I have always been an independent person and being 19 years old, I'm an adult.
We finally got the suitcase closed. It was full with things that I know I won't use, but I packed it down anyways. Being London, I know they have everything and nothing there. It's a bit different if you compare to old good Bridlington or where my mum lives. The reason why I'm going down to London is easy, I have always loved it. It might be boring since I'm from England and all, but London is one of the most amazing cities I have ever been to.
"Peach, you know I will miss you right? Like crazy." My best friend said whilst putting up a sad face. I would love for her to come with me, but she has her job here and she wanted to spend the summer with her family before moving down to Bristol for uni.
"I know hun, I will miss you too. But it's only a summer we are going to have loads of summers together after this." I say and giving her a hug. Dad and I will drive down early tomorrow morning and he will help me get settled, then he leaves tomorrow night. I found a flat in north London, not far from Camden Town. Talking about Camden Town, there is where I got a job, at cafe metro.
It was currently half eight and Chloe and I was sitting curled up in my bed watching reruns of Greek.
"I want to find my Cappie. I want to have someone who loves even if I'm going out with his ex-best friends who is a complete arse. I basically want Casey's life, well except the Toyota." Chloe said to me.
"You can take that life, I don't mind. I don't need a Cappie, I want to be as independent and determent as Dale sometimes but without his whole obsession over you. But I can take your Toyota." I laughed.
We have been watching Greek ever since it came out in 2007, when they stopped making it we were absolutely devastated. We have been re-watching all of the seasons ever since then. Sometimes I really want a Cappie, someone who loves you and still is honest with you. Someone who gets you out of your shell and help you become a better person. But still, I didn't have the time for it. I needed to think about my future and how to get where I want. I have so many dreams that I want to fur-fill. When I was younger, everyone used to laugh at my dreams. How I wanted to go to uni and study psychology, then after that travel all around the world to help people. Even my family thinks my dreams are too big, and I'm not saying I want to be a world famous actress. Because trust me, I don't. But even Angelina Jolie had dreams in her life, and I bet people laughed at her dreams when she was younger. But who's laughing now? See my point? Everyone says aim for the stars, reach the tree-tops. For me it's aim for the stars and see what will happens afterwards.
"You know that I'm really proud of you right? You going down to London by your own and then going up to Newcastle. And I know you will succeed with whatever it is you want. I know it. But don't put too much pressure on yourself, because I know that is one thing that you are really good at." Chloe said when the episode finished.
"I know, and I appreciate that your worry about me. But it's nothing to worry about, I will just earn the money I need. Get some alone-time before moving into a dorm with someone that I don't know. You know how I love being alone."
"You do need your alone-time. Talking about room mates, I think I need to give them a ring so I can tell them to hide when you are hungry or are too tired. We don't want you to go to prison now young lady."
I just shrugged at her words, because I know she's right. I can be horrible when I'm hungry. I've lost too many potential friends just because I have been hungry. But I guess my true friends are the ones who always has something with them to eat for me since I always forget it. Peaches in a nutshell.
"Have I ever told you how sorry I am about all the times you haven't been my friend when I'm hungry?"
"Yes hun, you have. I guess I'm just nice in that way. I'm a food machine." She said with a big smile on her face. It was in this exact moment I realized how much I was going to miss her.
"You know I love you even though you hate when dumb people are saying stupid things that just sounds stupid or when you are sleeping on me when we have a king-size bed?"
"Yes, and I love you even though you are unreal when you haven't eaten or when you start crying over some weird bands or musicians."
"They are not weird, it's just not music that everyone else listens to. I don't want to listen to everything that everybody else is listening to." I defend myself.
"I know, I know. How indie of you." She says in a sarcastic tone, I just hit her on the arm.
After another three episodes of Greek, Chloe needs to go home. That means goodbye for approximately three months. After that we both are going to university in two completley different places around England. Chloe is going to Bristol, her cousins lives there so she has somewhere to stay. After our goodbyes I went straight to bed. Because the day I had tomorrow would be long.

Alright, there you go. First real chapter! I have no idea how long it is, but they will get longer. I just didn't want to go straight to the next day. I will try to update as much as I can before school starts. I also want to post as many chapters as possible now. Because I don't really like to read new stories. So hopefully I can get 10 chapters as soon as I can so yeah. Please tell me what you think, all the four people who read the previous chapter. Cool.
