The New Girl...Again

As I close the last box, I glance around my bedroom. For the 5th time this year I have to leave the friends that have made and move to another school, another city, another home. Once again I have to start all over again.

"Chloe, sweetheart are you ready to go yet?" my dad yells up to me. He promised that this would be the time that we would stay until I graduate. But he has promised me about 5 times now. I guess that some things never change.

"I'm coming Dad!" I yell back down to him. I take one last glance around the room as I head down the stairs and walk out of the house for the last time.

Four hours later my dad is shaking me awake from the driver's seat. "Chloe...Chloe, come on hon were here, we have to get unpacked.

"Wha-" I say mumble still half asleep. I look up at the house and am instantly frozen in place, eyes wide, jaw to the floor. The house was huge. The house was painted a beige colour had windows all over the place. It had three stories, the top being the smallest with a cute little balcony overlooking the roundabout driveway that we were currently parked in.

I walk inside to a grand foyer, still mesmerized by what I'm seeing, the house was even bigger on the inside. I stand there in awe as the movers walk past me bringing all the boxes into the house. I walk up stairs to the second floor which contains 4 bedrooms, a private home theatre, a rec. room, a library, and a gym. At the end on the hallway there are stairs leading up to the third floor. I find my dad up there looking around. It is huge, and also the master suite.

It contains a luxurious en suite bathroom containing a shower, a separate bathtub AND a hot tub. The bedroom itself has a large king-sized bed, a huge vanity, and an enormous walk in closet. I go onto the balcony I saw from outside to marvel at the gorgeous view of the front of the house, overlooking the gardens out front.

Then to my surprise there is a slightly larger additional balcony facing the gigantic backyard that had a pool, more beautiful gardens and a large deck for entertaining guests.

"Daddy this house is huge. How did you afford this?"

"Well right now it belongs to the company, but they have allowed me to pay for it in installments and hopefully one day it will belong to me. It's my dream house, I designed it."

"You designed THIS! Daddy it's gorgeous!" I exclaim.

"Thank you sweetie I'm glad you like it, especially your new room." He replies and I wait a mement to let the information process to make sure that I had heard him correctly.

"This is MY ROOM!" I said yell in awe."

"Well as you know I'm probably going to be away on business a lot so I decided that you could have the master as you'll be getting more use out of it than I would. You are almost 17, I trust you."

"Thank you Dad!" I squeal hugging him.

I stand on the balcony overlooking the backyard. I can't sleep, I am so nervous to start school tomorrow. What if nobody likes me, or the teachers are too strict. Sigh. I guess I will have to wait and see.
