Hi Guys!

This is my first chapter of my first story. It gets better and I will add more as i go along. Please review, but be gentle as I haven't had much feedback. This story isn't about any book inparticular, i just had the need to write, so I did.

Hope you like it :)

Prologue

Monday 16th May, the worst day of my life. Today was the day my dad and step-mum told me that we are moving to America. California to be exact. And that I will be enrolling in Hayward High School. Brilliant. New friends, new teachers, new life, when I am just beginning to be happy with my old life.

My name is Rose Cabella, I'm 15 years old, and my life has just been ruined.

Chapter 1: The Bad News

My best friends Hayden, Ginny and Casey are gutted.

We are in the tennis courts at the beginning of school when I decide it is the right time to tell them. I explained everything and waited for ranting that was to come.

"Why Rose? Why are you moving?" pleads Ginny. Ginny is stunning and she doesn't believe it. She has dark layered hair that stops halfway down her back and is a mix of light browns and dark browns. She has a round face with huge eyes that you can't help but look at as they are deep green. She has a different look on clothing as Casey, Hayden and I do. She likes things to fit, tightly and also she loves to show off her belly piercing she has had done recently. It suits her because she has such tanned skin and a flat stomach. I always call her a 'lucky bitch' as a joke between us.

"My Dad, he got a job out there. And it's easy for my step-mum, Kate, as she can teach anywhere", I replied, "It will be okay, and we can still keep in touch".

"Rose, you're gonna be in America, why would you want to keep in touch with us when there are so many people you can have as friends there?" Hayden replied, sounding a bit cheesed off. She always had a way of making this sound patronising.

"Hayden, don't be like that with her, it's not her fault", added Casey. I am very thankful to Casey. She always sees the logical side of things. She is brainiest out of the four of us. She has amazing curly, blonde hair that she wears up most of the time and a great figure that she takes for granted.

"Hayden, I can assure you that I will keep in touch. I promise you okay..?"

Hayden is pretty in her own way. She has brown hair that reaches the middle of her back; she is tall and has curves that girls would die for. She has been my best friend the longest and we know everything about each other, secrets, family problems, everything.

"They have a date," I mumbled quickly.

"When? Is it soon?" Ginny shot back.

"Friday 29th July".

"But that's only..." Hayden began counting on her fingers, "74 days!"

My friends are finding it hard coming to terms with me moving away. I have always loved the idea of moving to America, but now it's actually happening, I'm scared. I'm scared no one will want to be my friend; I'm scared that they will think I'm weird because I'm English, I'm actually scared of quite a lot of things.

3 weeks has passed since I told them I was moving and Hayden is still acting strange around me. I don't think she has gotten over it yet. I will miss her, I will miss all of them. Most of my year now knows thanks to her. She decided to start crying in assembly, and crying is not like her, so Miss Whitaker took her out and spoke to her. I do feel really bad but there is nothing I can do. I am moving whether I like it or not.

These past few weeks have gone quickly and it is now a day until the end of term. Today is the 21st July and we break up after tomorrow. Then it's a week until I move.

End of school has been and its now the holidays. Hayden, Casey and Ginny all came over to mine to say goodbye. They are all in tears but for some reason, unknown to me, I'm not. I am perfectly fine. I think that's what's upsetting them even more, the fact that I act like I'm not going to miss them.

*Knock knock*

"Rose, come on, wake up we have to get going" called Dad from outside my door.

"Mhmm, be there in a second!" I called back.

"Soon Rose or we are gonna leave without you. Rich and Jack have already been in the shower", he replied.

I climbed slowly out of bed and made my way to the door.

"Fine fine, I'm here I'm here!" I mumbled as I opened my door and stepped out.

I grabbed a towel from the airing cupboard and stumbled into the shower. I always spend 10-15 minutes in the shower but since we were moving today I thought I would have a quick one and make it 7 minutes long.

After my shower I dawdled for a bit deciding what to wear and trudged downstairs to find a bacon sandwich on the side looking amazingly tasty.

On the way to the airport I sat in the middle of our 7 seater listening to my music and sometimes reading a book. I love to read. I can get through about 4 books a month, which is a book a week, depending how busy I am during that week, and also how thick the book is. Also, it has to be a good book, or I will stop half way through and get another book to read. Talk about fussy.

We made it to the airport with 2 hours to spare of walking round shops.

Our flight arrived on time and now reality was kicking in. We aren't just going away for a holiday, and will be coming back in a week to 2 weeks time, this is it. America here we come. Now I'm beginning to get excited, I really want to go. My friends popped into my head and before I had to turn it off, I sent them each a text on my mobile telling them where I was and how much I was going to miss them. I got 2 texts back, one from Casey and one from Ginny. No reply from Hayden, typical.

Okay so that's the end of my first chapter.

PLEASE REVIEW! I will give a call out on the next to anyone who reviews!
