Prologue

I can't believe my parent are sending me half way across the world to live with my aunt Isabelle. It was just last week that I was walking my German shepherd, Roxy, in North Carolina. It was that day that my mom told me that I was to live with my aunt so her and my dad could go to Europe for a 5 year work aboard. I was devastated, I had to leave my home and my school for a place I have never even heard of, Sweet Amoris, California. The entire week we spent packing and getting everything out of my old home. I was so frustrated and said, "Why do I have to leave, why can't I stay here and just be independent like a lot of kids are now days?" My mom, with the look of sorrow in her eyes, said, "Sweetheart you know we don't want to leave but this is an amazing opportunity for your father and me. If we could we would take you with us, but you need to finish school." I sighed as we put the last of my things in a box. My old life is gone, but it could be worse right? As I got on the plane to my new home I took one last look around at my home town, then I stepped onto the plane to my new life.
