"Mum im going to go for a walk" Said Alex
"Ok, but don't take to long"
The fresh air was a big welcome to Alex, as she had been unpacking for the past few days.
Alex, her Mother, Father and Brother, LJ, had just moved from Queensland to California two days ago.
All of the houses around Alex where huge, this was something that she was not used to. All of the laws were neatly mowed, and the gardens neatly cut. Everything was in its right place, even the flowers looked colour coded.
As Alex walked, she payed attention to her new neighbors, there were people watering their gardens, mowing their laws and talking to their neighbors. But they were all old! There were no children Alex's age; the closest were three young children skipping on their driveway.
A few people waved to Alex, and she smiled back, grateful that they were nice. She was now five houses down from hers and she noticed a boy walking towards her. As they started walking closer to each other, Alex realized that he was around her age! They were now a few meters away from each other, and Alex realized who is was. Nick Jonas, from the famous American band Jonas Brothers, she could not believe what she was seeing, Alex was a huge fan.
Alex was very different to a normal teenager who is a huge fan of the Jonas Brothers; Alex was not staring, or planning to even talk to him. She believes that famous people should not be treated any differently then any other person.
But as they were about to pass each other, Nick stopped next to her.
"I haven't seen you around here before"
Alex was extremely surprised, and it took her a while to process what Nick Jonas just said to her.
"Oh, um, I'm new here. I just moved over from Australia"
"Wow, that's a long way."
"Yer I guess" Alex had no idea what to say, or were this conversation was going.
"I'm Nick by the way"
"Yer, I know who you are" Said Alex, as she started to laugh
Nick smiled.
"Oh, I'm Alex"
"Nice name"
Wow, he is very nice. Thought Alex. Even though I know he is very mature for his age.
"There aren't very many younger people around here is there?" Said Alex
Nick laughed "No, there never has been." Said Nick, whilst he looked around "The closest people to our age are those kids" He pointed to the three children skipping, "and they're pretty far off". They both laughed.
"Do you like it here so far?" Asked Nick
"Not really. It's really different compared to where I came from."
Nick looked a bit disappointed at this. Alex saw this and said:
"But only because im not used to it, and I miss my friends. Im sure I'll grow to love it" She smiled as she said this
"Don't worry, you'll find friends here. And I'll introduce you to Kevin and Joe, you'll really like them. Joe is hilarious."
"Yer, I've heard"
"What grade are you going into?" Asked Nick
"Eleven"
"So we are one year apart" Said Nick
Alex nodded and said: "Do you get home schooled?"
"Yer I do, it would be way too hard to go to a normal school. When I get home schooled they are very flexible because they know what I have to do, but as long as I keep my grades up it is all good. Do you know what school you are going to?"
"No, not yet. We are going to look around soon, and see what there is"
"Are you looking for a private or public school?"
"I've always been to a public school, so probably that. But I guess it depends. I think I would rather private though."
"I went to a public school as well"
Alex nodded, whilst looking at her watch.
"I better get home, Mum will start to worry" Said Alex
"O', what is your mobile number?" Asked Nick as he was getting out his phone. Alex gave him her number as he typed it in.
"Thanks
for that, now at least I know there are people my own age around
here"
Nick laughed.
"Ok I will talk to you later, bye" said Alex as she started to walk away
"Y-yer defiantly…"
