I swung on the tyre swing, deep in thought; a tear came to my eye, I was thinking of my father.
He had built this tyre swing, he had built our entire house, but now it was just me and my mom.
"Neila", my mom called. I jumped off the swing and looked around me, this place held a lot of memories, it was a place where only I went (with the exception of a few friends), this was the place where I fell and broke my leg, this was the place where I had my first kiss , with Colin Harris in my second grade. This was also the place where I last told my dad how much he meant to me.
I ran through the trees and across our garden. I walked to the back door.
"You called me?" I asked.
"Yeah, it's almost time to go, a few of your friends are here to say goodbye", she said.
"Thanks", I said as I walked in to the front room, and standing there was Marie and Emily.
I was always so jealous of these two, they had everything, Marie was captain of the cheerleading squad and had long brown hair that was always perfectly straight, her Hazel eyes complimented her hair and skin tone so perfectly, and Emily was all round perfect, she had long blonde hair and perfect blue eyes, that made guys stop to look at her. They were so different from me, I had Long strawberry blonde hair (I will never admit that it's actually Ginger) and dull green eyes and freckles across my nose. My looks really displayed my Irish heritage.
"Hey guys" I said sadly, before I was engulfed in a hug.
I heard a jumble of 'I'll miss you's and 'I can't believe your leaving's.
"Aawh guys, I'll miss you too", I said sadly. I put my head on Emily's shoulder and just stood there, not wanting to forget the feeling.
"Neila" my mom said walking in "I'm sorry but it's time to go", she said apologetically.
"Ok" I said "I'll miss you guys so much", I said holding back the tears.
They walked out the door and down the street. I walked up the stairs and into my room. I looked around my room, some posters still on the wall that were stuck with a Permanent Sticking Charm. I grabbed my trunk and walked down the stairs.
"You ready Sweetie?" my mother asked.
"I guess so" I muttered.
"I'm going to miss this place, but it's for the best, this town just reminds me too much of your father"
"Yeah I know" I said begrudgingly
"Unfortunately, we have to travel the muggle way, apparating long distance is just too difficult and Floo and Portkey takes a lot to set up", she said "Anyway best we go, we don't want to miss the Aireoflame " she piped up.
"It's Airplane "I corrected.
"Oh right, this is why you are getting top marks in Muggle Studies and why I dropped it as soon as I could" she laughed. "Well grab on anyway, we can apparate to the Airport."
"Okay" I said just before the twisting sensation of apparating. It felt like my limbs were being pulled apart.
"Ugh, I hate apparating, I muttered while trying to get rid of the vomiting feeling.
"Yeah I know, anyway lets go" she said excited at the idea of getting on an airplane.
On the plane, I took one last glance at New York.
"I'll be back" I muttered under my breath. I sat on the plane for 8 hours before we finally arrived in England. We apparated to our new house, and went inside.
"Well your rooms is up stairs, first door on the right, I didn't decorate it because I figured you'd want to" she said smiling.
"You know me too well" I laughed.
I ran upstairs to my new room, it was quite big with its own bathroom, it wasn't exactly much now, but with a bit of work it could be better.
"Mom, com here I need help!" I called
"Yes dear?" she said arriving.
"I need you to change the colour of a few things, because you're not allowed to do magic here if you're under 17", I stated.
"Really in America its 15" she said shrugging "sucks to be you" she teased.
"yeah yeah" I said, "just change the colour of my duvet to white and the colour of the walls to dark purple and then the furniture to white too , Oh and the lamps and stuff in white" I said.
"No problem" she said, while changing the colour of everything. Now everything looked so much better.
"Thanks" I said while she left, I started unpacking everything, and placed some pictures up on the walls.
I ran down stairs and after looking around I found the kitchen where I knew my mother would be.
"Hey mom, I'm going to go explore the place, if that's okay" I said.
"Yeah okay, just be back for dinner at 8" she said while unpacking the mugs.
"Thanks" I said while leaving.
I walked around for a while , around a forest to be precise, before I came to a tyre swing that looked kind of like my old one, except this one appeared to be held up my magic, unlike my one which my father built the muggle way. I sat on the tyre swing, just contemplating what had happened today, when I felt my eyes getting heavier and before I knew it I was asleep.
Well there is the first chapter of my first ever story, :L Let me know what y'all think,
so yeah
