Chapter 1

She looked out the window, thinking. It was the craziest thing she had ever done. Her parents would go crazy when they found out that she wasn't at Lily's house, but she had to do it. She needed to go, to get away from school, from her. To wake up and start living her life, and what better way to do it than to visit New York, the city that never sleeps.

She watched out of the window as the sun started to rise. She had left so early she didn't even remember getting ready. She closed her eyes and listened to the song emanating from her headphones.

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again

She didn't realize that she had fallen asleep until the person sitting next to her shook her awake.

"Wake up honey. We're here."

She stood up quickly checking her watch. "In New York?"

"The one and only."

She'd made it. She had done it. And she was also late. She ran through the train hoping to get to the platform as soon as possible. It was a few seconds before she saw her eldest sister. She was still amazed at how her sister seemed to just shine brighter then everyone else, making it even easier to see her even in the crowed platform.

"Karen! Karen, over here!"

Her sister turned her head in the direction of the voice that called out for her. When she spotted her sixteen year old younger sister her face light up with a wide smile.

"Karma! Oh it's been so long. Look how much you've grown" she said hugging her sister tightly.

"Look how cliche this is." Karma said, smiling as her sister squeezed her tight.

"Well you must be Karma". A male voice said behind her in a British accent.

Her sister let her go and walked to the man who had taken her bags. "Karma, this is Dev, my boyfriends."

He stuck his hand and Karma shook it smiling up at him.

"Shall we?" he asked

"New York, here I come."
