A/n: None of the familiar characters come in until the end of this chapter, so if the first chapter seems a little weird, it will all make sense in the second chapter. Please also review!

"I can't believe you're leaving," said Brett, with his dark green eyes starting to water. "I am going to miss you so much."

"Text me everyday, or call, or IM, or email," sobbed Raquel.

"Trust me, I love you."

Oh my god, he has never said that before! she thought to herself, knowing she was in love so much. "I love you too," I said as I stroked his dark brown hair. "I'm sorry Brett, but I have to leave now if I want to get to the airport on time."

"See you on Saturday?"

"It's a date," Raquel said with a smile. She was moving all the way from San Diego to Boston, because her dad got a job as the concierge at the Tipton Hotel. They would be living there, in suite 2314. She got in their family's SUV for the 30 minute ride to the airport with her mom and her older sister, Michelle. Her dad was going to drive the other car and an Uhaul to Boston, and her older brother, John, was going to drive to Boston after he dropped off Michelle, Raquel and their mom at the airport. You can stand under my umbrella ella ella. Her Motorola Razr was ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey girl!" It was Melinda, one of her best friends since she knew since the 2nd grade. "Are you in Boston yet?"

"No, I just got to the airport; the plane doesn't leave for another 20 minutes."

"Remember, me and Clarissa are going to do a web cam video conference on Friday." Clarissa was her other best friend that they met in middle school.

"I am looking forward to it! What are you doing?"

"Oh, straightening my hair and putting in contacts, I just got out of the shower." Melinda was Hispanic, with black hair, brown eyes, and naturally tan skin. Raquel had always been jealous of Melinda's look, unsatisfied with her chestnut brown hair and her gray eyes, not to mention her beige complexion. Beep.

"Sorry Melinda, hold on, I got a text."

"Okay."

The text was her sister. "Miss Talks-a-lot, our plane is boarding. Hurry up for God's sake!" Ugh, how Raquel regretted this moment as she went back to her phone call with Melinda.

"Hey Melinda, I'm back, but our plane is here," Raquel said with such a shaky voice.

"My life won't be the same without you!" Melinda said, sounding like she was starting to cry.

"I'll see you on Friday, Melinda."

"I'll see you too."

Raquel frantically ran to the bathroom, so she could wipe off her tears on her cheeks. She never thought this was a good idea, but she had to move to Boston, and she did want to support her dad on his new job. She was going to make a sacrifice for her family.

"Honey, get out of the bathroom! The plane is going to stop boarding in a few minutes!"

"Sorry Mom. I'm coming." Raquel turned off her cell phone and walked onto the plane. They were flying on Midwest Airlines, so it was non-stop. It felt like practically the longest flight she'd on, even though it wasn't. She just sat there; awake the whole time, but she didn't think anyone stayed asleep because of all the turbulence.

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Boston," the flight attendant shouted into the speaker. Raquel Livingston was now starting a new life, feeling like it was in another universe.

Meanwhile at the Tipton…

"Staff, I have some news," Mr. Moesby said with a smile. "We are getting a new concierge on Thursday."

"Is he cute?" Maddie asked.

"He 43 and he are married with 3 kids."

"Oh."

"Anyway, he is coming Thursday and it would be kind of all of you to show his family around."

"Does he have any daughters?" Zack interrupted the staff meeting.

"He has 2." Mr. Moesby said losing his smile.

"Sweet."

Zack and Cody walked away, but then Cody said something. "You know what Zack; I have a feeling these new people living in the Tipton are going to make this place interesting."
