Chapter 1:

As I drove to the airport, so many things were running through my head. This was finally it, finally the day that I was starting the rest of my life. For years, I had been dreaming to go to London. I was always a small town girl, I mean, the population of my graduating class was only 60 people. Yeah, I know. But today, everything was going to change. I was going to spend my summer in the city of London and in the fall, go to university to study acting, something I dreamed of ever since I was in grade school. I had been taking drama classes ever since I was thirteen. My parents supported me completely. Although it was expensive, I was their only child and they wanted me to be happy.

While looking out the window of the yellow taxi I was sitting in, my phone rang. It was my best friend, Mandy.

"Hey! I almost forgot, when you meet your sexy British boyfriend, don't forget to bring me back some sort of David Beckham." She said.

"Mandy, trust me. You didn't forget. This is only the billionth time you've reminded me." I laughed "Plus I'm not going to find a sexy British boyfriend. London is the time for me to focus on my upcoming career. Soon, you'll see me on the big screen!"

"I know Kellie, and you better not forget me!"

"I would never forget you! You're my best friend. I'm going to miss you so much" I told her, fighting back tears. I had already said all my goodbyes to my family and friends but no matter how excited I was for London, I was still terrified to leave my loved ones and face it all by myself.

"I'll miss you too." She sighed.

"It's okay babe, I'll be home soon enough! I'm really sorry, but I'm almost at the airport. I'll call you later!"

"Sounds good. Don't have too much fun without me!" She laughed.

"I won't. Bye Mand, love you!" We hung up.

As we pulled in front of the airport, I waited for what seemed like hours to board the plane. I felt my heart pound as I realized that this was actually the day where it all began. Before I stepped onto the plane, I took one final look at the outside around me.

"Goodbye America, hello London." I whispered to myself and walked onto the plane.
