Today is the day, the day my life will change and a new one will begin. It's sad leave everything you've always lived with behind but if I want to achieve my dream I have to...I took one last look at my room, the room I've spent half my life in as those thoughts run through my mind and I clutch the suitcase tightly trying not to cry but when I turn around to look at my mother I can barely keep the tears from flooding my eyes as she reaches out to hug me.
"I'm going to miss you so much honey" said my mom
"

Me too mom" I said and I break away to look at her, she caresses my face with tears in her eyes and smiles.
"Call me when you get there okay?" She said
"Of course" I said and smile then I break away from her and I go down the stairs to head towards the entrance. I say goodbye to my father and my brother and I go to the taxi that awaits me at the door. As soon as I'm inside the car I flop into the seat and let the tears roll down my cheeks as the taxi driver drives in the direction of the airport. When I arrive, the taxi driver hands me my bags and I go inside the airport. I walk to the boarding area and hand over my ticket, the girl behind the counter smiles kindly at me and indicates that I can board.  As soon as I am inside the plane, I look out the window for the last time, then I text my mother to tell her that I have already boarded and I turn off the phone when I hear that we are going to take off.
9 hours later
I wake up when I hear through the loudspeaker that we are going to land and I watch through the window as the Los Angeles airport appears before my eyes, I feel a tingling in my stomach and I smile. 'You have achieved it Miriam' 'You are here, you are going to achieve your dream' I think to myself as the plane lands softly. Minutes later I find myself standing in front of the door of the small apartment that I rented before coming and I smile as I look around, hardly being able to believe that I am in the city of my dreams. I bring the key close to the lock and open the door, then go inside.
As soon as I'm done getting settled in, I get in the shower and get ready to meet Agapi, who traveled to Los Angeles a few days before me, I've missed her a lot and I'm really looking forward to seeing her.  As soon as I'm ready, I grab my keys and go out the door, we're close so I walk there even though I have to find the location on my mobile, I'm so focused that I barely see the boy in front of me and with whom I end up colliding, everything that we both carry falls to the ground and we both bend down to pick it up but when I raise my head to apologize my eyes meet such beautiful dark blue eyes  That take my breath away, I can barely take my gaze from his, his smile completely paralyzes me and I can barely speak.  I thank God that my catatonic state does not last long and when I am able to move I look away from his in an attempt to recover.  He brings me my things and offers me his hand to help me stand up but when his skin touches mine I feel a static electricity that runs through my body.
"I'm so sorry I didn't look where I was going, I was confused with my cell phone, I still don't know the city and I was looking for a cafeteria" the words come out of my mouth at full speed and I see how his smile widens when he looks at me.
"Don't worry I didn't look where I was going either" he said with that beautiful smile and I have to hold on to all my willpower not to be stunned looking at him, he is gorgeous, tall and strong with dark blonde hair and deep dark blue eyes, his smile is incredible and beautiful, quite a show of man.I'm so spellbound looking at him that I hardly pay attention to his words.
"Are you okay? Have you hurt yourself?" He asked gently and worried, I shake my head and smile.
"No, I'm fine don't worry, you're fine?  Tell me I have not broken anything valuable" I asked nervous and worried and I see how he smiles and shakes his head.
"No, I'm fine but I want to help you, I can show you the city if you want" His smile and his words leave me speechless, I barely know this boy and I have also met Agapi, I cannot leave her lying down so I shake my head while smiling kindly. 
"I would love to but they are waiting for me" He nods gently and his smile widens "Okay, nothing's wrong, we could do it another day if that's okay with you, Los Angeles it's a beautiful city" I watch him, 'should I meet him?'  'He could be a serial killer although he seems like a sweet and friendly boy, he also seems like he really wants to spend time with me' I think to myself and I smile when I look at him.
"Okay that's sounds perfect" I said and I see how his smile widens so much it could light up the whole city, I smile and I write down my phone number, then I give it to him. 
"This is my number, call me when you want to meet, now I have to go but I'll be waiting for your call" I say without stopping smiling and then heading down the street but before leaving I turn to look at him.
"By the way, my name is Miriam" I say with a smile and I see how he smiles.
"I'm Bryan nice to meet you Miriam, I'm looking forward to seeing you again" he said with a big smile and then he continues on his way, I turn around without stopping smiling and without stopping thinking about Bryan until my phone rings, taking me out of my reverie, I take it out of my pocket and I see with a smile a message from Bryan.

"I'm Bryan nice to meet you Miriam, I'm looking forward to seeing you again" he said with a big smile and then he continues on his way, I turn around without stopping smiling and without stopping thinking about Bryan until my phone rings, taking m...
