Looking around the plain empty room that i could no longer call my own, i thought about all the memorie that happened in this room and how they have all been wiped away. The door frame now painted white that once held all the measurements of me growing up. How i would smile and run round screaming when i beated the line even by a inch. i smiled at the memories, i just have to keep telling myself just because im moving does not mean ill forget about them. i take a long deep breath in and take one last glance before walking out saying goodbye to the past and hello to my future.

10 hours later and I find myself looking around another plain room but this time it's a canvas ready for my artistic touch, not that I have any. I dump the last box on the floor next to the others.
"Welcome home" i mumble under my breath. Why? Why did we have to move? I slump down onto my bed, i may be in a new room but at least i still have my bed, my soft bed. As I laid there I thought about my life in Britain and how different this was going to be here in America. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my mothers voice
"Aria dinners ready" I got up slowly and headed down stairs, only to realise I didn't know where the kitchen was. Shit. I entered the first room on the left which turns out was the lounge. I walked back to the hallway and opened every door until I found the kitchen. The house was similar to back home, the lounge connected to the dinning room, which had a door leading out into the hall.cnext to that was the kitchen.

"Dinners getting cold you know" sitting at the kitchen table was mum and Jake my older brother, eating spaghetti and meatballs. I looked at the kitchen and notice everything was unpacked. My mum was quick at tidying but I didn't think she would be that quick at unpacking it all. I knew for a fact my brother wouldn't have even touched any of his boxes. Although he was a year older than me you would think it was the other way round, me being the older responsible sibling.
"I couldn't find my way, I need a flaming map to find my way. I swear we could fit 5 extra people in here" I replied while sitting down opposite my brother and digging into my food. I had forgotten to eat with all the travelling, I was too concerned about my luggage making it safely. I refused to put my precious items in boxes for the removal people to shove of a plane and then collect the other end only to shove it in a van again.

*time jump*

After dinner I made my way upstairs and unpacked my room to the way I wanted it. When my eyes began to get heavy i found my phone to look at the time. 1:47am. Wow that took a while, I headed into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My brown hair that was just passed my shoulder was all over the place that even a hedge looked neater. I couldn't be asked to do anything with it, so instead I brushed my teeth and climbed into bed thinking about spending tomorrow exploring before i get stuck in a stuffy classroom. With sleeping finally taking control i let my body drift off into a peaceful sleep.

I woke up with the sun blaring into my eyes, I grumbled. I forgot to put the curtains up! I knew their was something that I needed to do last night. I rolled out of bed, literally landing on the floor. When I was in my lazy mood i always rolled out of bed before stretching and getting up. Unplugging my phone from the charger i checked the time to see it read 2:30, so much for me exploring, half my day has gone. I ran my hand over my face and decided that I could do a little bit of exploring. Luckily enough we lived on the outskirts of people away from all the busy city, it was more like a little town. The school and shops were less than 5 blocks away and was all walkable, well that's at least what mum used as her selling speech to me and my brother. My mum used to work at a magazine company back in England before getting a promotion and deciding to ship us and herself to America. I suppose it's not that bad but everything works differently here I would just be finishing school and heading the college but not anymore. Now I have to do a two years more at school. The joys!...
I grabbed my cream jacket which was hung on the back of the chair were I had previously left it the night before and headed out the door ready for my adventure.

Walking down the path i entered the little town section full of shops and diners. With the sun beginning to set and my stomach rumbling I thought it would be a great time to grab something to eat. With the nights still fresh and warm I brought a hotdog from a little cafe and headed to a park not so far from the town centre..
Walking further into the park I came across a pond hidden behind a hedge filled with water lilies and all things beautiful. I sat carefully down by the edge and watched as the fish came up for air and then swam back down. I began to finally tuck into my hotdog when a little brown dog turned up beside me. "Hey Buddy, are you hungry?" With the dogs eye locked on the hot dog I decided it would be only fair to give him a little bite. As I began to to hand the dog a piece I heard a voice behind me. "Wait, he's on a diet" I watched as the dogs eyes dropped in sadness and turned around to see a handsome boy staring at me. His dark brown hair, that was scruffy yet neat, I couldn't stop staring until I realised I looked like an idiot.
"Hey, you do realise that the way to a dogs heart is food?" I randomly blurted out. He looked at me with a small smile "Yes I do, how do you suppose he got that fat" he said tilting his head to the side and towards the dog. I let out a small laugh "Maybe he's just natural a chubby dog" I said kneeling down towards the black dog and rubbed its belly. I could feel his eyes blazing through me, I turned round and looked at him. "I'm Aria" I held out my hand towards him. " Nice to meet you Aria, I'm Liam" he gentle shook my hand, smiling. That's when I felt something, something different...
