"But it's mid-term!" Rachel sighed looking at her parents.
"Rachel, we had to move…" Her mother started.
"But what about my friends?" She asked, interrupting her mother.
"What friends?" Her little brother said, before turning back to his DS. Rachel shot him a dirty look before turning back to her parents.
"You'll make new friends." Her dad told her simply. "Anyway, it's too late; we're moving in a week." Her father said, before packing a box full of ornaments.
"WHAT? That's not fair! How am I supposed to say goodbye in a week?" She shouted, shocked that she was only told this now.
"You'll find a way." Her mother said, before helping her father.

~~~ One Week In The Future ~~~

The ride to the Heathrow airport was long. It gave Rachel time to think about her friends and how she had actually said goodbye.

Rachel had told her friends that evening. Needless to say they were shocked, and some thought that she was joking. It wasn't until the following day that they saw she was deadly serious. "You bloody wanker!" Her friend had shouted at her, completely mad. The others just looked around and started to hug her.

All that week, she spent it with friends and family. Her friends organised a mini party for her. They held it at her friend's house and they had a great time. It was the perfect way to say goodbye. At the end, they presented her with a necklace with an English flag on. On the back the letters R.A. were engraved. "Don't you forget us Brits." They had said.

At the end of the week, they all saw her off. "You better text me, you bloody wanker, or I'll fly over there and make you text me." One of them had said, a fake smile plastered onto her face. One of them was really devastated.
"We lost contact for like six years or something stupid, let's not do that again." She had said, knowing fully well that they probably would. And the others just said something and waved as she got in the car and her parents drove off.

She sat there now, playing with the necklace. "This better be worth it…" She muttered under her breath as they arrived at the airport.

~~~ One Airplane Ride Later ~~~

Eleven and a half hours? Fuckin' Hell!

IKR! And we had to travel down to London!

Why?

It was the only place that did flights directly to LAX... Anyway, talk in a bit, going to new house…

In Los Angeles right?

Yeah :/

Lucky bugger ;)

Lol, talk later, bye :D

Good luck, byee :)

Rachel put her phone away, as they pulled up the driveway to her new home. "Wow! It's big! How the hell did you get a house like this?" Rachel asked, seeing the very large house in front of her.
"Houses are bigger in the US." Her father told her, stopping the car. They all got out, and her father opened the door.
"On the count of three, you go and pick your room." Her mother said. Rachel looked at her younger brother, and gave him a challenging glare. "One… Two… Three!" Her mother shouted. With that Rachel and her brother ran into the house and up the stairs. She ran into a few rooms, before stopping on one that was perfect. It wasn't massive, but it was big. It had a bay window with a window seat. But what won was the view. The view from the window showed a nearby beach, and at this moment in time, she could see the waves rolling in and the sun setting.
"I'm having this room!" She shouted into the atmosphere. She heard mumbles like "Okay" from down the hall.

Rachel took out her phone and snapped a picture of her room, and then the view from the window seat.

My new room :D (Attachment 2 pictures)

Damn you! That's bloody brilliant! Fuck off!

:P

Waaa!

Lol, sorry :L

Have fun in sunny 'Murica! I'll be in England, cold, sad and going to deal with your favourite teacher tomorrow :/ When you starting that new school? What's it called again?

Orbis terrarum schola…

That's what it's called? Who the fuck named this place?

Yeah, but it's nicknamed Hetalia High…

Cool, so when you starting?

Monday…

Four day weekend! Lucky bastard!

Yeah… Anyway, shouldn't you be sleeping? It's got to be like two AM over there…

Naa, only one, and I better be off or my phone will be taken away…

No it won't! Your parents are too lax to do that :P

I know :D Night!

See ya :)

Rachel sighed before putting her phone away. Tomorrow she'd deal with the jet lag, and over the weekend she'd prepare for school and unpack. According to her parents, she would be a sophomore in high school over here. It could be worse, everyone's only had a year to make friends, she thought. "This school better not be too messed up…" She said into the empty room.

Suddenly a wave of tiredness washed over her. "Shit, I'm still on English time…" She said. She looked at the room and realized there was nowhere to sleep but the window seat. "I'll sleep there then." She said, closing the door and curling up on the window seat. "If there is a God, please don't make me regret leaving England." She whispered before drifting off.

A/N: I won't put lots of these so this is just the start. Okay, so this is for my friend's birthday and if you have any criticism please say. Anything I need to correct, please say. This is an account that I created so my friend can't find the story. If you think it's good, please say - I need as much help as I can get :P My normal account is Accailia, but that is mostly Night World fanfics :) Please review if you can :) Thank you :)

*Disclaimer* I do not own Hetalia, that honor falls upon Hidekaz Himaruya :) I own the story line though :) I don't own the characters as they are actual people in some cases. This disclaimer applies for all chapters posted now and in the future.

Thanks
