Chapter 1: end of term

As the bell went for the end of term at Green mount high school Samantha was just saying good bye to her friends before heading for the school gate.

"I can't believe you are going to Paris tomorrow, it's just so unfair Amy" said Sam

"You know what my parents are like Sammy besides you could go anywhere with the amount of money your family makes. You're the lucky one not me.

Although for Sam she didn't feel lucky. She lowered her head and closed her locker door, knowing that poppy, her best friend, was waiting for her at the gate she hugged Amy and left. The noise of everyone's urge to go home and start enjoying the holiday was getting louder and the amount of people flooding through the doors was getting bigger, but Sam still felt down as she saw poppy waiting.

"HEY SAM, WHAT'S TAKING YOU SO LONG?" SHOUTED POPPY

She saw that something was wrong with Sam as she approached.

"You look like your about to cry mate, what's wrong? You know you can always tell me"

Sam looked up at poppy and sighed with just a little mumble that poppy could just make out "nothing"

As the pair started walking the hill Sam suddenly remembered that her mum and dad were supposed to be visiting today. With that in mind she started walking faster making it harder for poppy to keep up.

"Slow down Sammy…what's the rush?"

"My parents are visiting me today"

Poppy remembered what happened the last time her friend said that however, she knew that if she was in Sam's position she would be eager too. So she did her best to keep up. As they reached the top of the never ending hill poppy confirmed arrangements for tomorrow with Sam.

"So I'll see you tomorrow as planned at 10 sharp?"

"Sure I'll be there "answered Sam

Poppy could see that Sam wasn't interested in the plans they had made so she carried on walking huffing and puffing from the steep climb up the hill. The two said goodbye as they both were about to part ways Sam walked as fast as her feet could take her along the long road turning left at the end until she finally reached her destination

"Good afternoon Samantha, and how was school today?" Sam was happily greeted by the maid

"It was fine thanks Emily, Is my mum and dad here? Asked Sam looking around intensely

Emily hung Sam's school bag on a hook and looked at her with sorrow eyes.

"I'm sorry Samantha but they are just too busy, your mother has been called for book signing in Loss Angeles and your father has been given the lead role in a movie in New York" Explained the maid.

Sam lowered her head again and felt like she had just been struck by lightning- she had to understand that her parents couldn't be with her all the time as they are famous people. Her father is an actor who has been awarded lots of Oscar's, her mother is a professional chef who has recently released her third cook book.

"It's okay… I…I understand. I won't be wanting any diner tonight" said Sam as she walked up the giant stair case in to her room.

Emily bowed her head and walked off while Sam sat in her executive chair and watched her mother's cooking program. This was normal for her though because her parents are never around. As Sam watched her mum on TV she thought back to what Amy said about her being lucky. A tear stretched from her eye and rolled down her cheek, life was just not fair or exciting. By 10pm Sam turned off the TV and dragged herself to her bed where she lay wide awake with no clue as to what to think about her family.
