Walking down the street Amanda took out her Mp3 Player from her pocket and changed the song to "Miss Independent" by Kelly Clarkson. Putting it back into her pocket she looked ahead. The street was beautiful, the long strip of sidewalk was surrounded by fully grown trees that were every shade of Red and Orange you could Imagine. It was truly beautiful in London during the fall season Unlike California, London had drastic changes in the season.
The fact was that Amanda Had moved from California the week before. Her mother had gotten a promotion in her law firm. More Money, less hours, everything was great except for one thing. The Job opening was in London, Hundreds of miles away from their Home in Riverside, California. So two weeks of packing, two planes and a Cab later. They were in London, standing in front of a lovely flat big enough for two families.
Amanda who had already missed the first half of the school year was on her way to her new All girls School. The School was named "Elizabeth Shaw Girls Academy", it was one of the Highest Ranking Girls school in the world. Luckily it was only half a mile away from their new home.
As she walked up to the Grand Gates of Elizabeth Shaw Girls Academy she saw a sight incomparable. Up on a hill was a three story Building that looked more like a House then a School. It was Painted White with Blue Shudders, and the whole house was surrounded by Blue flowers of every kind.
Before going to the gate she took a look around just up the street a little ways was another building Similar in Stature but in a little worse shape. Looking at it she saw boys of ages from 10 to 18 playing Football and cricket. Smiling as a blond boy who didn't look older then 17 make a goal while playing football.
Finally her thoughts went back to the school in front of her. Taking a deep breath she walked through the gates and up the two flight of stairs.
