A Fresh Start

                                           A Fresh Start

    I stared out my balcony into the beautiful night sky, the beautiful city was lit up. I felt a breeze of cold air wash over me, I've decided to get away, become better, change. It’s for my own good. I needed a fresh start. My life took a turn so I decided I need to start over. Tomorrow morning i will leave. Tonight, I start packing. No one knows I'm leaving, God knows if i’ll ever come back. I walked away from my balcony and started to pack. I packed tons of clothes, my skateboard ofc, my toothbrush, etc. I decided to get some rest. After all, I have a big day ahead of me. I set an alarm for early in the morning so my family wouldn’t know.

     My alarm clock buzzed, I hit the snooze button about 5 times before I got out of bed. I sat up and stretched. I then got dressed and ordered an uber. I ate breakfast while waiting for it to arrive. After about 15 minutes my uber was here. I got in the car and told the lady driving “ I’d like a ride to the airport i’m going to London” I smiled. The lady didn’t say anything, she just smiled and nodded. I’ve always wanted to go to London since I was a child,but I never ended up going. I thought to myself after everything that happened that this would be my chance. 

    I finally arrived at the airport, I waited patiently until it was time to board the plane. Soon enough, I was walking onto the plane. It takes approximately 9 hours to get to London from where I am. “This is gonna be a while,” i thought to myself. I was on my phone for most of the time, that is until it died. As I was getting out a paper and pencil so I could write, a child behind me started to kick my seat. I turned around and said, “Hey um can you please stop kicking my seat? It’s bugging me.” The child surprisingly listened to me but seemed bored after that.

   I woke up from a long nap as the speaker squeaked that we would be landing soon. Wow, I made it, I'm finally in London, my dream place. This was so exciting I'm away from life, from everyone. I grabbed my phone and had forgotten I plugged it into my portable charger so it was now at 100%. I looked at my phone to see 48 missed calls from my parents and about 50+ messages from my family and friends. But I ignored them. I felt happiness, for the first time in months. 

   I grabbed my bags and walked off the plane with a smile on my face, a real genuine smile. But where do i go now? I haven’t booked a hotel. I pulled out my phone and looked up ‘Best hotels in London’. I picked the closest 5 star rated one that was near where I am. I pulled out my skateboard and plugged in my earphones. I felt the nice breeze of the fresh air fill my lungs as I played my peaceful music. Fresh London air. That’s all I need.

   I arrive at the hotel around 7 pm. I checked in and walked off to my room, room number 233. I scanned the card and the door swung open. “Woah,” I said to myself. This place was a luxury hotel. Hold up. How am I supposed to afford this if I have no money? Oh right haha, I took my moms credit card. That reminds me I should call her to let her know I'm safe.

   Mom: BABY WHERE ARE YOU??? ARE YOU OK-

   Me: Mom i’m fine i just, urm- went to London

   Mom: YOUR IN ENGLAND???! WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?

   Me: Mom, please calm down i just- i needed a break from life

   Mom: How long are you gonna be gone for?

   Me: However long i need to, i better get going

   Mom: Have you seen my credit card by any chan-

   Me: Bye, Love you!
