Night and Day

Chapter 1 Moving

Today I'm moving to the Gold Coast of sunny Australia.

"Do you have to go." my best friend Ashley said

"Yea I do, I haven't seen my mom in like two years and if I stayed here I would've moved in like a month or two." I said " and I really don't want to deal with moving around with my dad."

"Well you've been living with your dad for a two years and have been putting up with it." she said angrily

"Come on Brooke we don't want to miss our plane." my mom yelled getting into the car. Me and Ashley grabbed a long and tight hug. I took a last look at my home in Zimbabwe, Africa and was ready to see my new home in Australia.

Hours later

We landed at the airport and hitched a ride. "mom how come you never stayed with dad in Africa." I asked trying to make conversation.

My dad has lived in Africa for his whole life but would always move to different places there. Since my mom is white and my dad is black that makes me mix but I inherited everything from my mom, her long black silky hair, her color and her eyes. I'm not even sure if he's my dad.

"I don't know honey after the argument I just needed to leave." she said not really wanting to talk about it. When we got there I noticed how big the house was. We lugged our stuff into the house, I dropped my stuff on the floor at the door and ran into the kitchen. "hungry much." my mom joked, that's one thing I love about my mom she loves to joke and mess around. Plane food doesn't help my appetite I said digging through the fridge only finding eggs and some other things I didn't want. "Can we go to the store?" I moaned

" Can you wait, I'm making burgers your favorite" she smiled nudging my arm.

"Yea, I guess." I said frowning.

"Why don't you go exploring." she said seeing my frown.

"And so you won't have any trouble I'll unpack your clothes ok." she said willingly "

Alright." I said heading for the door

"bye." my mom said as I shut the door behind me. I was walking toward a café named the Juicenet. As I walked in it was totally crowded. I found an empty seat and headed toward it. I almost had my butt on the chair when I fell hard to the floor.

"Sorry I didn't see you there or at all." a boy with brownish hair who wasn't that bad looking.

"Um it's okay." I lied the blood rushing to my cheeks while people were giggling.

"Hey, I'm sorry Zane's a bit of a jerk." a pretty blonde curly haired girl said

"But I'm your jerk." he said bending down to kiss her.

"Get a room" a brunet girl said

"I don't complain when you and Lewis kiss." she said

"Yes you do." a blonde haired girl said

"Oh my name is Rikki and this is Cleo…" she said pointing at the brunet "…Emma.." pointing at the blonde "…Lewis.." she added pointing at a blonde haired boy "…and you see Zane." she said. Without saying my name I walked out the café still embarrassed.
