Chapter One
My name is Alexis Anderson, but everyone calls me Lexi. I am 16 and have parents that are amazing. my mom, Victoria Anderson, is a cloths designer and my dad , Jacob Anderson, is a movie director. I have an older brother, Jason Anderson, who annoys me with his over protection, he's worse than my mom and dad combined. He's 18 and a senoir with a job as a waiter at a pizza parlor. Eventhough he can be annoying, i still love him.
My dad's job had become more and more busy. He was always out of town and my mom misses him constantly. they both decided that it would be best to move closer to the set. So that meant i had to say goodbye to Seattle and hello to Flordia. we didnn't move very much this was actually the second time. I moved once when i was four, but i was still to young to remeber much. i was nervous about moving. I mean no one likes to move away from where they grew up and where they have great friends.
So here i am, packing all my things. I pick up some old photos and the memories start to playback in my mind. There was one of me holding up my first place medal for swimteam when i was 10 and another with me standing next to my best friend, Jake at our kindergarden graduation. I smiled at the memories and packed the photos in my picture box.I packed my last couple of item and looked around my empty room. I couldn't believe i was acctually moving and no tears where coming out, not even when i first heard the news.
"Packed yet?" my dad said as he stopped by my door.
"Just finished. I'm really going to miss this place." i said sttill looking around my room and remembering good times.
"me too. Here, give me all your boxes." he said taking th boxes from my floor.
We walked outside and loaded the moving truck and dad's pickup and mom's Cadilac. I Put a pillow and blanket and some other neccesities by my seat in mom's car. I saw Jake riding his bike toward my house. when he came to my front yard he slowed down and threw his bike down in the grass and walked toward me.
"oh good. you haven't left yet. I wanted to give you something." he said flipping his blonde hair out of his eyes.
"What?" i asked.
"This." He pulls out a small box and pulls out a necklace that says "Friends".
"Thanks. It's very lovley." i said looking into his big blue eyes.
"No biggy. I have the other one thats says "Best". "
I let out a small chuckle, "Well, thanks. "
"Listen," he said looking into my eyes," Im really going to miss you Lexi. Like a whole lot."
"Me too Jake. You have no clue. I've been dreading this day since I heard i was moving. I'm like really going to miss you. Here, " I pulled out my school picture since I just got them yesterday and wrote 'i will miss you always! Love, Lexi with a heart."," have this."
He took the picture from my hand and read the back. "Thanks Lexi."
"No biggy." i said to make him laugh.
My dad inturupted our conversation, "Hey sorry to inturupt, but Lex we have to get on the road."
I looked at my dad then back at Jake. We embraced for long time and I finally pulled away. I got in the backseat of my mom's car and shut the door. As we pulled out the drive way I waved to Jake who stood in the driveway and waved back. Tears were rolling bown my checks and I wish Jake could wipe them off like he use to. I could see Jake's eyes get sad and he continued to wave. This is officialy one the worst days of my life.
