The week went by in a blur. I didn't what to go. I really didn't, but my parents wanted me to go. Maybe they wanted me out of their hands. To be completely honest I am scared. Every day that pasted. I got my hopes up that week I was supposed to leave; a big storm came, and I had to wait another week to leave. I guess I could say I had more time to pack, and say my goodbyes. I also mad sure I packed everything I needed, wanted to bring. I made a check list.
Clothes, (aka my favorite my whole wardrobe plus shoes) my guitar, (playing it helps me keep calm), my computer, its charger, my headphone (two pair) , my camera, my makeup, and more random things I threw into the bad. When I was done packing I have 2 suitcases plus my guitar case. Okay, check list done now time to wait 2 more days until my flight.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_2 DAYS LATER-_-_- _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Getting up at 3 in the morning is horrible! I made sure I packed everything again, and brought my 2 suitcases and guitar case upstairs. There I grabbed my money my mom left on the counter for me and some food. Outside waiting for me to bring me to the airport was my best friends sister. She said she would love to give me a ride to the airport, for the low price of 30 dollars. I said yes to this because I didn't want to wake up my family. So here I am walking over to her car. Putting my luggage in the back, and heading off to start a new chapter. I felt like bringing that book about Anubis. It is something to read while on the plane for 8 hours, and on a train for 4 more.
"So, you excited! Starting high school in ENGLAND! There will be a big difference. I bet." Bella, Annalise's older sister said as she begun the ride to the airport.
"Well I won't know the difference, I'm in 9th grade. Never been to High School. " I said rolling my eyes. I bet Anne could fill me in on what is going on in America when I'm gone.
"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot, you act older than you look. And aren't you 15?"
"Yeah. Just turned it on the 9th."
"Oh, cool! What did you do?"
"Nothing, my mom was working, and I was packing/ getting ready."
"Oh so you didn't get a present?"
"Yes I did, 200 dollars. It is only for England though."
"Cool." She said as we arrived at the airport entrance.
"Great, I guess no turning back now." I put my hand to my head and took a deep breath.
"Hey wait! Here my sister wanted to have this it's her favorite lipstick she said to use it for your first day of school makeup look, or whatever." She handed it to me. I grabbed it and went to the back of the car to get my bags. I waved goodbye and started walking into the airport. I'm so tried everything I did is a blur. Walking, handing my ticket, going through security, and boarding the flight. After sleeping about 4 hours I became more aware, that I am on my way to a boarding school. All my life my mom has been, "If you act up ill send you to boarding school far away." Did my mom really want me to go? Who cares I'm to far in to go back and ask.
I am bored. I don't feel like reading so I don't know what to do! I'll just look up spark notes for the book.
Search: The Mysteries of House of Anubis
UGH NOTHING WHY CAN'T I FIND ANYTHING. Ok... I'll look it up on ebay to see if anyone is selling it. This is weird. Umm. I'll look at the author who is it by. There is no author. No publisher. NOTHING. This is 100 percent weird. It is like the book IS NOT A BOOK. It is not any book website, or anything! I need to talk to Anne. I'll call her when she is out of school, I think she is in it right now.
Well, my brain has been fried enough today. I'll continue research when I get to where ever I'm staying. I don't even know where I'm going to be "living." Maybe they emailed it to me. I will check my emails. Oh look a new email. Ok, my classes, I'll take a pick of that right now. I take out my phone and take a picture and set it as my screen saver so I don't forget my classes. Oh and the house I am staying at. Anubis House. That is so weird.
"Please put your seat belts on we are now landing." I hear from a speaker. Okay, time for the 4 hour train ride. Yawn. I guess I'll sleep on the train. I get my bags, and get into a taxi, that takes me to the train station. There I hope onto the train, and take my seat. Then I pull open the book. I read this mysterious book, about this girl who solved mysteries. The mysteries were not clear, and the way she solved it was not, but it mostly talked about her being "The Chosen One" and what that means. I get why this book was taken off the shelf, you don't even get to know how Nina solved the puzzles. Or even what the puzzles are. At the end of the book it states, "Now whom ever has this book, it is your turn." Nice ending... I think. This is weird. First I find out I am going to boarding school, then I'm going into the House of Anubis like the book. Its just one big coincidence... Right?
As the train stops, I see a taxi waiting for me. Most likely sent from the school to pick me up to take me to school.
"Are you Melissa Martin?" The man driving the taxi asked.
"Yes I am." I reply as I take my 2 bag and guitar case closer to the car."
"Okay, just put your stuff in the trunk."
"Okay." I put all my stuff in the trunk, and got into the car. The man started driving.
"So what is a American girl like you going to the British boarding school?"
"I got a scholarship, and my mom wanted me to go."
"Oh very nice. Well we are almost there!" He said when he turned into the entrance of the school. My heart started to race. Ugh... Is it to late to back out now? OF COURSE IT IS! I need to power through this. It is a once in a life time CHANCE! I got this I can do it!" Here you go, House of Anubis! Want help with your bags?"
"No I'm fine." I say as I step out of the car and grab my bags. I wave goodbye to the friendly driver, and I start walking up to the house. It is so big, and beautiful, I keep looking at the house, and walking forward, what a bad idea.
"Ow!" I said as I fell backward, my bags falling all around me.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." The sweet and kind voice I heard as i look up top see this boy holding out his hand. I grab it and he helps me up.
"Hi, I'm Melissa. Is this Anubis house? I'm new here so, I don't know if this is the right place."
"Yes, this is the place. I'm Fabian. Nice to meet you. Do you need help with your bags it look like a lot to carry."
"Oh my goodness please! I should not brought this much but ya know." I laughed trying to break the awkwardness. He grabbed my guitar case and walked me in.
"Welcome to Anubis House!" He said with a smile. I Smile back.
