Trust me Chapter 1

" Your new President of The United States of America , by more than 1 thousand votes , John Murray !"

Burst of cheers filled our house , hugs spreading around the room , wine bottle tops popping. My name is Amanda , Amanda Murray; now I will be known as the Presidents daughter and nothing else , the truth is I really hate the fact that my dad is now President , I have to leave New York the city I love , leave everything behind for 4 years in the white house? I try to keep a smile on my face , while people I have no idea who they are come and hug me.

" I couldn't do it without you Amanda!" My dad hollered while he passed me , he tried to stay with me but got whisked away by a sea of people asking him 1 thousand questions and flash of the camera going off 1 thousand times.

Another reason why I want to stay here and not go to Washington , I wont be able to see my dad as often , with the problems of America , he will jetting off to places , going in meetings or just will be too occupied to do anything with us. Will I even have time with my dad or even my family? To make this problem so much better , the media will be every where and anywhere around us , trying to get a picture here or there... I'm scared of never getting back to normal.

Now that I live in the house of America , I wont be able to spend my last year of High School in New York with all my friends , I get a private tutor, so does my brother Nick who couldn't be more happier that our dad is the new "PUSA" as he calls it President of Untied States of America. He is mostly excited to get girls, coming to the new house and showing them around. Also he is a huge hockey fan , ever since dad announced he was running for president , Nick started to like the Washington Capitals , his favorite? Sam Smith center. There isn't one day he cant stop talking about him.

" Yes , YES , Y E S!" Nick pass's by me doing a moon walk while putting his fist pump.

" I see someones happy?" I said sarcastically.

" Well aren't you?" He stopped what he was doing and focused on me , waiting for my answer. I never told my parents or Nick how I felt about this , I agreed to whatever my dad wanted to make him happy , I didn't realize all the changes we will need to do to keep this huge change as "normal" as we can.

" Yeah Nick , I'm just so happy!" I tried to put on my best act by putting a huge smile on my face , he bought it , and continued with his moon walk.

I try to get out through the crowd of people in our living room , i must have said excuse atleast 100 times , and I'm not exaggerating. I finally made my way to the kitchen where my mom was getting interviewed , and a photo shot, I didn't like being the center of attention , so i quickly turned around to leave the kitchen ... but then.

" Oh ! Amanda ! Sweetie come over here!" My mom loved the attention ,so i turned around prepared to do another act , a put a smile on my face and went over to her. She gave me a hug then put her arm around my waist for a couple of pictures then let go . She looked great , she brushed her teeth and mouth washed 5 times , she was very nervous. Got her hair done in curls , with a beautiful dress she got in a little boutique , it was the 20th dress she tried on , and it paid off.

The reporters wanted to move her to a different spot with better lighting , and pushed me out of the way , of course my mom said nothing , just gave a wave to me. So i took that as my Q and went to find some people i knew and put yet another act on for them.

After hours and hours of meeting people I didn't know before but know now , I met most of the new workers for the White House , they were nice.. but just for now. They keep giving the Your so pretty !, what grade are you in? Wow love your dress, blah , blah , blah. It was about 3 in the morning , and there was only our family awake , Nick was first to go to bed , my mom and dad were going to celebrate, and i knew what that meant , so later after a snack I went to bed. Once my head hit the pillow , I realized I forgot to turn off the lights in the kitchen , so I go out of bed.

After i opened my door , i saw a shadow by the stair case , my room was right by them so I knew someone was there, it was a large muscular man but that's all I could tell. With my curiosity I stepped forward. Who could it be? My parents have gone to bed , and so has Nick.

I ran to the opposite wall and put my back on the cold wall , my back shivered as my back touched , I put my head around the corner and got a better angle of the man , he was in a suit and wearing a ear piece, you could see the white cord go from his ear to down his shirt , could it be a man from secret service already? No way , we haven't even moved into the White House yet! When I turned my whole body to face him , he noticed me right away , He keep shouting some code , next thing i know I'm getting chased by this guy in my house , i turn back down the hall way , then i felt warm hand grab my arms with such strength my body fell forward , my head hit the hardwood floors , I was screaming , I could feel the pressure of his body weight on me , next thing I know , I fell asleep.

The next morning , I'm in my bed , in my house, was that all a dream? The man chasing me just a dream? , when i went to go to my door I passed my mirror , I stop because i saw a bump on the top of my head! No way , that was real? After checking out my bump for minutes , I wanted to go get Advil because my head was pounding , when i opened my door , there was a man blocking my door way, I slammed into him, i fell on my back , Pain ran across my back , I was not going to cry in front of a guy I don't know , He came in my room and offered his hand. I was timid at first but then i took it , i rose and stood up.

" I believe we did not officially meet. I am Steve , I work for your father. I am part of secret service , I was hired last night to make sure this house would be secure for the new president , I am so sorry I didn't recognize you last night " Steve seemed not sorry for what he did , he had a straight face , putting on a poker face. I just looked at him confused. " You may want some Advil and ice for your head." Steve added ,

I agreed and pasted by him , I went down the stairs , meet Nick at the front door.

"Morning" I said as I saw him , I went to go by him but he pulled me back to the front door.

" You'll never guess who's here!" He sounded like a little kid on Christmas morning , his eyes where huge , he keep moving not being able to stay still.

" The secret service?" I said , because that was a suprise to me.

" Well , yes but I'm not talking about them. Oh I heard you scream last night! That was so funny ! You were crushed by a secret service guy ! Loser!"

Nice isn't he?

" Thanks Nick." i went to go past him again , but he did the same reaction the first time, he dragged me back to the front door.

"What is it now?" I asked impatient, I have a big head ache, I need Advil.

"Look!" he said as he opened the front door , when I saw it i didn't know how to react , so I just laughed.
