So as a newly welcomed teen too this neighbourhood, and left all of my three friends back home, I decided to in true, non english fashion and introduce myself to my new neighbors. Yesterday I made biscuits, with dad, and today, I'm going to go about on my own, possibly get killed or make great friends.

But first of all, it's 9am, I have had breakfast and got ready, now mum is taking me too my driving lessons, it's kind of awkward seen as I could drive back home but on the opposite side of the road, and now I have to basically learn all that again.

Me and mum went to my driving lesson, the woman took me to do a little corse about their land, I was doing okay until I went the wrong way on the roundabout, but we learn from our mistakes and at least I wasn't actually on a road, I feel like I'll be okay, I'm ready for it.

When it was over I called my mum to come and pick me back up, so when she did we stopped on the way home to a target, the closest one to our house, I loved it, and it was in walking distance, however I'm already getting sick of the American accent, can we have some french here or Spanish? I want some diversity.
I splurged on home wear in target, I'm a sucker for a bit of home wear, and it's essential right? Buying shit you don't need but maybe it'll come in handy one day? Yeah? Yeah.

I wonder how dad is doing today? He's had an introduction day, so I'm really hoping it goes well, he's the main reason we're here.
Max better be behaving or I'm going to wop his ass. With words, because we don't like violence in our household.

Anyways.

We got back in the car, honestly I didn't know how my mum was able to drive so easily. It's like she practiced, but that's impossible.

When we got home mum and I went separate ways she went to works and I heated up the biscuits in the oven. It was now an acceptable time to go and see some people.

I walked out of the garden and up too the front porch of next door, knocking on their door, which kinda hurt my hand.
A woman probably the age of my mum opened the door, she had beautiful dark skin and her eyes were like crystals.
"Hi, I'm autumn, I just moved in next door, I wanted to come and say hi, and bring some biscuits"
"Well aren't you sweet, I'm Lucia" a huge smile grows on her face showing her small gap between her teeth "come in come in!"
She invites, so I do what is said.
"Derek this is autumn, she just moved in next door"
"Hi" I say raising my hand to wave
Derek was a large man, pale like me, but balled, and again sharp blue eyes.
"Hi autumn nice too meet you" he holds out his hand for me to shake
"Nice to meet you too"
"Are you british?"
"Yes I am I'm from London, well kind of, Oxford"
"And you mover here from there? Wrong choice sweetie" Lucia laughs "Our girl Kirsten will love you, she loves brits"
"Oh yeah what school are you going too?" Derek asks
"Largo"
"Oh no way! That's where Kirsty goes"
"Hopefully I'll see her there then"
"I hope so, and if not you'll be next to us anyways"
"Would you like something to drink?"
"No thank you I'm good"
"Okay, so tell us more"

Me Lucia and Derek had a long conversation about lots of things. Like the uk, what it's like here, the best pizzerias, potentially me getting a job at lucias diner. I felt like I knew them for years. When it had only been... two hours?!
Okay yeah maybe I should go say hello to the others. Or maybe leave it for another day.

So I did I left Lucia and dereks and went home, I was ready to see my dad again I ain't gonna lie. I was going to go to the others another day. I was still very excited to meet them though.
When I got home I made myself a little coffee and realised that mum had gone to pick up max and they should be on their way home.

Max came home running though the door and jumping up and down in the middle of the kitchen. I'm guessing he had a good day, the biggest grin was placed on his face with rosey cheeks.
"Someone's had a good day" I say
"AUTUMN IT WAS AMAZING! I made loads of new friends and the teachers are so much better than the ones back home"
"That's not very nice I thought you likes mrs terry?"
"I did but these ones are better"
So yeah he had a good day, he continued to jump around me while I was making my coffee.
