"Bye, Ill miss you SO much! I promise Ill write every day!" I say, choking back the tears that were working their way up.

"Cherry, Im going to miss you! Why do you have to leave!" My best friend cried back.

Seriously I don't know, I don't know anything at this point. All I know is that I have to leave my life behind.

We hugged one last time before I stepped into my new life by way of floo powder.

Well I think I'd better start at the beginning. The very beginning is May 25, 1989. That is the day that Charlotte (Cherry for short!) Renae Parker was born in Sydney, Australia. From that point I lived a pretty average life I guess. You know, boyfriends, school, friends 'forever', and all that jazz. Then last month my father died.

My father was a great man, he worked for the ministry in the Department of Mysteries, so there's not much I can tell you about his job, or even how he died. All I know is that he's dead and never coming back again.

My mother and I tried to stay where we lived, but in the end it was too expensive. So here we are, my mother and I leaving the great outback, for some crummy England, or 'Great Britain', personally I don't see what's so great about it.

A Few Days Later

Dear Caleigh,
Life in Great Britain isn't that great. I miss you so fckin much! I swear on my life, cross my heart hope to die, that we will get together during the holidays. I pinky promise! Well the good news is I get to go shopping! Mom says that I can get a kitty! Guess what I'm going to name it? Right! Caleigh, after my best friend in the whole world. Well it's official I'm going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Seriously, who in their right mind would name a school Hogwarts, crazy Britians. So how's life? Has Chris asked you out yet? You guys are totally in love, and I swear if you don't admit it soon I'm going to write him a love letter signed, Your sexy Caleigh Williams. You know I'll do it! Remember when I sent that letter to Braxton Newton?

FLASHBACK

"Like Omg! Derek you're so funny!" The slutty voice of Cristina Curk shrieked.

Ugh one day that btch is going to get whats coming to her.

"Like you too Brendon!" giggle

Wait Brendon!

I looked over to see you know who flirting with my boyfriend.

Ok it's coming to her!

So that day when I got home I grabbed a scrap of pink parchment and wrote with a sparkley purple gel-pen with big loopy letters, and hearts dotting every i:
Dear Braxton,
You are the CUTEST guy I've ever seen, I love you! Would you please go out with me? Smartness is so sexy.

Much much love,
Cristina Curk

And thus mailed the love letter to the nerdiest guy in school, but first spraying some perfume on the pretty pink paper.

END FLASHBACK

Oh my gosh that was so funny, he followed her around for 2 months! Well I lurv you with all of my heart 3333333333333 Lots and lots and lots of love,

Cherry Cola.

PS: Write back soooooon!

I finished the letter and sent it off with my mother's owl Squeaks. True to her name Squeaks squeaked her way out my window.

Well tommorrow I get to go shopping! With that happy thought in my mind I fell to sleep.
