I went on tik Tok and lost track of time until I decided to get up.
8:18 am
I went downstairs and saw my mom unpacking boxes.
"movers came early" she said with a smile. I fixed my hair and walked down do help her unpack. I gathered my boxes and brought them up to my room. I've been wanting to redecorate my room for the longest time, and now that we've moved I can really do whatever I want with it.
I pulled out my computer from my bag and plugged the charger into the wall. I went online shopping for my room. I spent a few hours filling carts with room decor, and then I bought it... all. hopefully my parents would understand I just want a fly ass room.
11:38
I went downstairs and grabbed some cereal that dad bought at the store. after I was done eating I went upstairs and put on some clothes.

(the outfit^)
I said goodbye to my parents and went to explore the town. there was a huge shopping center I wanted to check out so I went down there first.
I walked around for a bit and found some really cute clothes that I got. after a bit I got hungry so I found a little restaurant and ordered a coffee and a bagel. I turned around and bumped into two girls.
"oh! im so sorry I wasn't looking where I was going" I said
the two girls looked at each other and exchanged a smile
the black haired girl faced me "your American!" she exclaimed
"yeah" I laughed
the brunette chimed in "oh and your all good we weren't watching where we were going either" she paused "im mille partridge"
"and im valentine Armstrong!" the black haired girl said
they seemed genuine and kind "im Melanie, Melanie Cordane" I thought to myself wait- partridge? isn't that the guy those girls were talking about at school?
"Cordane?" millie asked "oh my gosh! my moms friend just moved here from New York with the last name Cordane I think. are you from New York?" she said
I was a bit surprised "um yeah, I am.." I said
valentine piped in "I love New York! all of the shops... and boys" she giggled
we all laughed at that comment valentine made
"what a small world, that our parents know each other and we happen to bump into one another" I said
millie nodded "I know right!" she looked me up and down "I love your outfit by the way, very chic" she smiled "oh! and you can call me mil"
"and call me val" valentine said
I nodded "well, on the topic of nicknames you can call me Mel" I said to the two girls
"so, when did you get here?" millie said as she motioned for us to sit at one of the empty tables
"sunday, around 1 am" I responded
val looked shocked "woah thats early"
"yeah but I slept on the flight" I said
silence.
millie broke into conversation "so, Mel, tell us about you! what are you interested in, how is New York like?" she said happily
I cleared my throat "well, I like to read and draw" I said and they nodded "and I don't think im the best person to ask about New York, I tend to stay away from parties and.. well, boys" I laughed
"val could never stay away from boys" millie said laughing
val shoved Millies shoulder "hey! rude, but true" she shrugged
we talked a bit more
I looked at my phone "4:27 pm"
"it was so nice to meet you both, but I think I should get going now...'' I said
"aww" they both said
I looked down at my phone "well, here is my number, text me!" I say
"okay sure!" val said
I waved goodbye and went home
5:13 pm
"mom? dad? im home!" I said as I walked inside
"hi hunny!" my mother greeted me "how was your day?"
"it was actually really good. I met a girl called millie partridge, she says her mom is your friend?" I asked
"oh! wow, I forgot to tell you. yes the partridges are very good friends of mine and your father" she explained to me "they're mother-"
"their?" I asked
"yes, millie, issie, and Louis" she said "as I was saying, they're mother is hosting a ball, and we were invited." she said
I looked at her "a ball? like with fancy dresses and slow dancing?" I groaned
she laughed "yes, it will be fun, its next Friday night, then you can meet the rest of them." she paused "you may have heard the name Louis partridge before, he was in Enola Holmes; a very handsome young boy" she winked at me
"ew- mom, no. I haven't watched that movie yet and I have no idea who he is. but ill go." I said, rolling my eyes. my mom knows Ive taken a break from boys.
