Chapter 10

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We are about to land in Manchester in roughly 15 minutes. The weather in Manchester is ten degress celcius, partly cloudy with a humidity of 94%. Enjoy your flight.

I got up still groggy and my neck was getting stiff from sleeping upright. I rubbed my neck a bit and shifted in my seat. 'We'll be there soon dear, just bear with it'. I looked towards Ian and saw that he was comfortably cound asleep. I unconsciously smiled at this sight. I rested my head back on my mum's shoulders and closed my eyes again.

The ride was getting bumpy and I naturally woke up. I knew that we were in the midst of landing. The plane landed and I got up to take my things from the overhead compartment. I noticed that Ian was still sleeping so my mum carried my things and I carried Ian. It was a wonder how he was so light. We got to the immagration counter and I woke Ian up. We cleared customs and went out to find my dad. 'Dad!' Ian was running towards him as he held out his hands for a hug.

We got into his car and he drove us to our new house. I wasn't sure if it was far and if so how far. I put my bag on the seat in between me and Ian and took out the scrapbook Kess gave me. I opened it up and read every single message people wrote. There were people I though didn't even know of my existence writing in it. A smile appeared on my face and so did a little tear.

We drove and drove till we stopped. I thought we were here but we just stopped for lunch. We had a quick lunch in a little restaurant and set off once again. I pulged in my ipod and listened to music as we drove.

We drove for what seemed to be hours because it was already getiing dark. Finally I heard the words, 'we're here!' I took my head off from the door and looked straight up. The house was bigger than I had ever imagined. It was at least twice big as our old one. I took my bag and immediately rushed in with Ian.

The living room was half empty with boxes here and there. The floor was all parquet and had a shiny surface to them. We rushed to see the kitchen and it was amazing. It had marble counters, a dish washer and two fridges! I couldn't wait to see my bedroom! I ran upstaris to see that our rooms already had been selected for us. The was a wooden plank that had my name engraved in it. I turned the knob and I was utterly blown away. My room was amazing!

The floor was indigo carpet, the walls were white and my celing was black and had splats of glitter on it so it looked like the sky. It was so beautiful. I had a really nice plain white study table and shelves as well as a white wardrobe. My bed had a beautiful white metal frame and I had matching side tables. I put my things down and immediately took my laptop out. 'Is there wifi dad?'. 'Yes hon!'. I quickly called Kess and showed her my room. We talked all day until Kess had to leave so I said bye. I left my laptop on the floor and started unpacking.

Soon, it was time for dinner. We were ordering delivery because we had no groceries yet so we had pizza that night. After dinner, we all helped to unpack things around the house. My dad took us on an official tour around the house. Apparentky we had an actual walk in pantry. My mum was so delighted to see that. That night, I quickly unwrapped my piano and I just had to play something nice. My parents had put it in a corner of the living room where there was a curved glass wall and it even had a platform. This place felt so perfect but I still missed Kess.
