Okay this is my second chapter and is indeed a very short one. Sorry about that, but the chapters will get longer the further into the story you go.

Chapter 2: Arriving At Your Destination

The immense wave of heat I felt as we climbed down the stairs off of the aeroplane and onto the runway at Oakland International Airport was unbearable. I guess I should get used to this quick, I thought. We walked along the strip of runway into the main building to get our luggage and everything sorted and then collect our new car. Then, on the way to the house. The car journey is terrible. Rich and Jack constantly bug me as I try to listen to my music.

"Rich leave me alone!" I shout.

"I'm not doing anything!"

"Boys leave your sister alone" Dad's voice rang through the car, and the boys went quiet.

Dad had been to California earlier in the year with Kate to find us a house and also to enrol my brothers and I in Hayward High. I haven't been to America before and the views look amazing as we drive along a long straight road in our new 7 seater car. My life in England is officially history.

We arrive at the house and all I can do is gape. It's not like me to be speechless, but at this point in time, I literally am. Our house is amazing and it's on eastern Avenue just down the road from Hayward High. It's got 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 toilets, 1 lounge, 1 'toy room', a massive kitchen and dining room and a two story garage.

We each picked our preferred bedroom. I had a double bed in mine with a walk in wardrobe. HOW COOL IS THAT? I couldn't get enough of my bedroom. It was huge! You could fit at least 4 double beds in it, including a desk, chest of drawers etc. I started to unpack and sort my clothes into my wardrobe. I should go t bed now, first day of High School tomorrow, bugger!
