I lay here, wondering, as i stare at the ceiling. Tomorrow I would be going to live with another family while my mom goes to New York for a year or 2. She promised that she wouldn't let her company transfer her until I had graduated but she simply coudn't turn down this offer.
I was in my Sophmore year in high school. I was the captian of the basketball team, volleyball team, and cheer squad. I was also the most popular girl in school.
But, sadley, I have to say goodbye to my life in Los Angeles, California.
Starting tomorrow, I would be living in Alberquerque, New Mexico with my godmother, godfather, and their son. I had known my godmother & godfather, Lucille and Jack Bolton, quite well. As for their son, Troy,
I barely knew anything about him. All I know is that he is the same age as me and that we will be attending East High together.
I never knew that they had a son until my mom told me about 2 weeks ago. I barely even knew the guy and now i have to live with him!
I guess I'll just have to try and deal with it. Who knows? Maybe he is a nice guy...

I looked around my empty room as I finished packing all my things and sighed. I was going to miss this place.
I could have went to go live with my mom in New York but I wanted to be away from my mom for a little while.
Sure, I loved her but I've always been stuck by her side my whole life. I just wanted to be on my own without her.

-----------------------------------------

I turned back and looked at the house before I put the rest of my things in the trunk and got in the passanger seat.
As we drove to the airport, I looked out the window to my hometown. I just smiled as I thought of all the good memories i had here.
Once we got to the airport and got all of my stuff inside, we sat down and waited for my flight to be called.
My mom would be leaving later on tonight to New York.
We heard my flight called and stood up.

"Be safe. I Love You Honey." she said after we shared our goodbye hugs.

"I Will. I Love You Too Mom." I said as I started walking to the gate.

When I got on the plane, I sat down by the window and put my things in the seat next to me.
I'm glad my mom got me a seat where I can sit by myself. That's all I wanted to do at that moment.
As everyone else boarded the plane I stuck my headphones in and turned my iPod up.
Once we were safely in the air, I looked out the window and started wondering how my life in Alberquerque would be like.
I could barely hear the music anymore as I drifted into sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------

I awoke as we were getting ready to land. I strapped in my seatbelt and turned off my iPod.

Once we were safely on the ground, I unbuckled my seatbelt and grabbed my things.

As everyone was getting out of the plane, I started to get nervous.

What if their son doesn't like me? What if he thinks I'm som stuck up cheerleader who only cares about herself?

I guess we'll have to find out...

---------------------------------------------------

I looked around, trying to find my godparents.

Once I had found them, I ran over to them an hugged both of them.

"Gabriella! We've missed you. How was your flight?" Lucille asked as she released Gabriella froma hug.

"It was good. I've missed y'all too." She said before she turned to Jack.

"Hey Jack. Hope we're still on for that game of basketball. Ready to get your butt kicked by a girl?" She said with a big smile plastered on her face.

"Not gonna happen," he said as he laughed.

"Well, we better go get your luggage," Lucille said.

Jack and Gabriella followed her toward baggage claim.

---------------------------------------------------

After we got all my things, we got into the car and headed off to the Bolton household.

"Our son, Troy, is at home so you'll get to meet him later on."

"Oh,okay." I said, looking out the window.

"Y'all will get along great. He really loves basketball, just like you. Maybe you can beat him one day." Jack grinned as he turned on the street where the house was.

As we pulled up into the driveway, I looked up at the house. It was really nice and big. There was a basketball court in the back and it was 2 stories high.

When we got in the house Lucille showed me around.

"Down the hall is Mine and Jack's room," she said as she pointed to a closed door. "Upstairs is where yours and Troy's rooms are. A bathroom joins y'alls rooms so, I hope you dont mind sharing a bathroom with him."

She looked at Lucille and just smiled. "It's fine."

"Well, just make yourself feel at home." Lucille said as she returned the smile.

Gabriella looked at the back door as someone opened it and that's when she saw him...

Well, there's chapter 1!

Like it?

Love it?

Hate it?

Tell me what you think(:

xoxo, Lilly.
