Meet the street dancers

New start

Have you ever come home from a normal day to find your mom moving you half way across the country? No... Oh, I thought it was normal for mother's to rip their daughters live apart with one conversation. New York to Chicago. That's roughly 789 miles!! All because my mom has met a new guy. The amazing thing is me and my brother haven't even met him yet. However because he's sooo nice it's all okay. Mum says we'll 'love him'. But I find it highly unbelievable ! How don't we know he's not a psychopath ? Or has a creepy collection of some kind?  Or worse a serial killer?

I really don't think I'm being over dramatic here... imagine living in New York for the 16 years of my life and being picked up and moved a crossed the country! Not only do I have to deal with an unfamiliar place and new house, I have to deal with a new man... I'm used to it being me, my my mum and my brother, James. Now I have to welcome this new comer.

Seen as I am leaving tomorrow morning -what I find unreasonably unfair! I've had two days to pack all my things... and I have A LOT of things - I'm going meeting my friends at our usual hangout spot. It's going to be weird not seeing my friends everyday. There like family, who's friends aren't, especially when you've know them most your life. Will and Sara were my first friends, I will always love them but I'm will be glad I'm not third wheeling anymore. Then I have Caitlin, Molly and Georgina who I met through cheerleading. Because of them we met Liam,Jake and Sam who are apart of the Soccer team, I know so cliche but it happened. Sadly I am blackmailed to watch every long soccer match they play, however over the year I have learned to enjoy the games. Even though I will always complain about being bored and cold I will miss immensely.
In live I expect we'd all go our separate ways, yet I didn't realise i would have to leave them so soon. There the only people who truly know everything about me, we had so many plans for next year and moving has crash a halt on most of them.
I sat there alone waiting. Trying to process that this was probably the last time I'd be sitting in our regular corner. That there was no more skipping class to come here, or ending up ditching parties to just come and relax. Cause I won't be here.
Soon they all came in one by one. At first I was numb as I didn't know how I was going to cope without these guys. They were my safety net and it was like it's suddenly been ripped out from under me.
After reliving a lot of memories I felt a blanket of comfort surrounding me. They reassured me they'll still be with me. A Skype call wasn't the same but it would have to do for now.

It was getting later and later. I had to set off early tomorrow so I had to leave and reality crept back in. It was hard saying the last goodbye to them. It physically hurt. Jake walked me home because we lived close. He was one of my closest friends, someone I could trust with anything. He's isn't perfect but he's dam close;great sense of humour, perfect style ,caring and handsome. Can you get better? It's fair to say nearly every girl has a crush on him. I won't lie I've even caught feelings. However he is no good with girls that's one of his few flaws . He'll never use a girl, he just doesn't know how to keep them, he always cuts it off before it gets too serious. You can't blame him though his mom hasn't had the best boyfriends... We talked about everything on the way home. How we first met, all his birthdays, parties. I was in my own world with the memories flossing in so I didn't realise we were at my house. It was time to have the horrid goodbye hug, I didn't want to let go, I felt the last bit of hope disappear. They would officially never be an 'us' if I was hundreds of miles away.
"I'll miss you" he whispered
His hand found its way to mine and I was paralysed, it was ever now or never I guess. I'll probably never see him in person again anyway. As I was eating up the pros and cons of kissing him, I felt his lips on mine. Finally one of us made a move! Theres been many times this tension has been present but both of us were too scared to take it any further. We broke the kiss and it went resumed back to normal. He kissed my forehead and for me to text him when I get there. Then he was gone...
" welll then... Jake and Tanya is officially??" my brother teased as I walked through the door
"really? Spying on me now"
"Mee never"
"Sure" I said throwing a pillow at him.

I have no idea why James even cares about my relationship status but he's always bothering me about it. Then again he doesn't get much attention in his own life. Apparently girls thinks he is 'cute' but that's it. I really don't see it. However I may be bias, half the time I do want to kill him and seen him at every awkward stage.

I got told to finish packing my things as we're leaving tomorrow. How is anyone expect to pack a full room and wardrobe in one night! It's ridiculous. But yet again if my mum wants to go now, we have no choice but to go now.
