Just to remind you in case you guys haven't seen my profile page: I do not own Twilight or any of the amazing characters by Stepehenie Meyer. I only own the plot and my own characters. Any other song, location, etc. is owned by their respective authors.
"Ana , hurry up we're gonna be late!" my mom yelled at me from the living room.
"Yeah I know, I'm coming!" I yelled back.
So, this was it. I still couldn't believe the last three months, everything just seemed fuzzy and overwhelming, I mean I guess it was a normal reaction after everything changes drastically in your life, or should I say, will change.
About two months or so, I graduated from high school, but here in Chile (for those who don't know, that's South America people!) the educational system was really different than that of the U.S. so that's why when I graduated I didn't exactly felt old enough to go to college and live by myself. And since I was planning on studying in the U.S., everything just seemed overwhelming: a new country, new friends, and a totally different culture… so yeah I was pretty nervous. That's why I came up with other solutions.
Very stupid ones might I add…
I was taken aback from my reverie by my not so happy dad.
"Ana gosh, what are you doing so much, if you miss your plane, I am not buying you any new tickets!" my dad told me for the hundredth time… dear lord why did he have to complain so much! I love him dearly, but common he always knows how to get the worst reactions out of me.
"Yes dad I know, could you please stop talking you're making me more nervous"
He just glared at me and left my room… finally.
After about twenty minutes fumbling around, I finally had everything I needed so I just took my stuff and went outside to wait for my mom, dad, sister and everybody that was coming with me to the airport.
(1 hour later)
"I love you too mom, I'm gonna miss you so much… I promise to call as soon as I am at Carla's house" I hiccupped and tried to stop the flow of tears from my eyes.
"I know honey, I'm gonna miss you too, it's not gonna be the same without my baby girl"
I rolled my eyes at that, and laughed, it was a weird laugh considering I was still crying.
My mom just smiled and hugged me for dear life. After that I hugged my dad also, who surprisingly looked teary eyed. And then I went on with my sister, her husband and my almost two-year-old nephew. I had already said goodbye to my grandfather at my house, considering he was 91 years old and couldn't exactly be walking around.
While in my first hour I started to remember why I had decided to come, and started to weigh the pros and cons.
Like I had said before I had chosen really stupid things, but maybe they weren't THAT bad…
I mean I guess I did need to repeat half of my junior year and then start AGAIN my senior year… oh well I guess it was already too late to complain, but hey at least I would get better grades, already having done junior and senior years. Everything was part of my well planned scheme: adjusting myself to the new country and its people. Now though I was having second thoughts about repeating my two last years of highschool, haha I guess I would know what all of the Cullens felt like.
Yeah I did say the Cullens! I mean common I'm totally obsessed with them, who wouldn't be? So, sorry if I forgot to mention this fact earlier, but I love the Twilight saga, I pretty much spent the last year reading countless fanfiction after I had already read the four Twilight books like five times each. I know my friends said I needed a life, but hey what can I say, I am a nerd and a book worm and proud of it! Everybody just looked at me like I had lost it when I said I would rather read at my house than go to some party, It's not like I didn't go to parties, I did, and they were pretty much awesome, but this last year I changed a lot. And I like to think that was for the best.
After about two hours sitting in the plane, I got really bored and decided that my iPod wasn't enough distraction, so I took out my Twilight book. Looking at the pale hands holding the apple I just couldn't stop wishing that I could find my own Edward, he didn't have to be a vampire, even I being such a fangirl knew such thing could not be possible, but I just kept wishing that the handsome, perfect, polite, and lovely guy would look at the simple girl for once, and not just be some story in a book.
I decided to leave my depressive thoughts aside. Being depressed has never worked out for me, and I pretty much spent my days depressed, I really had bad mood swings, even I knew to recognize the obvious. I guess the part of being a teen, plus my natural moody side made a bad combination.
Already having read almost the whole book (I read pretty fast) I soon found out that the flight was going to land in about half hour. I decided to look out the window. It was such a beautiful sight, the city lights shone in the darkened sky and they almost looked like little stars spread out. I was so incredibly tired, I had spent at least 12 hours stuck in different planes. The only moments I got to stretch my legs were while I was walking to the bathroom or when I needed to make a new connection in each different airport we arrived.
About two hours after the plane had landed I had finally arrived at my sister's house. Then everything just started to sink in. l just couldn't contain my excitement, I was living a new life, in a new country where nobody knew me, I was starting fresh. Maybe I might even stand out instead of blend in with the crowd like I had always done my whole life because of my looks, don't get me wrong, blending in was really good especially when you are kind of shy, but after having a really bad self-esteem you kind of liked it when you were different from others, that's was one of my reasons to come here also: I would be different for once.
After a week or so of finally settling in, I was pretty much used to my new house, new car, and new room. My sister was nice enough to give me a bedroom for myself. And it's not that I didn't like my nieces, I did, but I was seventeen and they were five and nine, so you get my problem there.
Also, since I had decided to come here, my parents had acted quickly and had sold the car I had back in Chile, they used the money they got from that and bought me a car, so I wouldn't depend on my sister, who had a busy enough life. I actually liked my car, of course it wasn't an expensive car, but at least it was new and pretty, it was a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe.
Life had been fairly nice the last few days, but I knew that after the calm came the storm, or whatever the saying said. So I was not yet mentally prepared for the upcoming Monday and the implications it brought, such as starting high school as a junior, once again, but this time not in the school I had been since kindergarten but in a totally different place where I wouldn't know a single soul. Hopefully I wouldn't need to eat in the bathroom like in the movies…right?
Sorry if I had any spelling erros, life's has been hectic and I actually had to repost this chapter after I found out I had many spelling things and stuff I just didn't like.
Please review, it would be lovely to hear what you think so far. I also take into account any ideas you might want to read about later on
