We're back!

Hehe!

Enjoy!

I awoke with a bad headache, and I groped for my alarm clock upon my beside
table. Paperback, cell phone... snooze button. Gotcha.

I turned over and tugged my duvet over my head, which was punding with each beat
of my pulse. Today was not a good day for me. Monday never was. Only the thing
is, this Monday, I wont be attending my high school back in Brooklyn.

You heard that right.

I'll be flying to California, to meet my newly married father, and his new wife,
my stepmother. Oh joy, joy, joy.

A voice called up the stairs.

"Honey, you're gonna miss your flight. Dontcha wanna see your old man? He hasnt
been here to see you in months!"

"Whatever, Gran," I said, throwing my duvet off me and got out of bed. "I'm on
my way to the shower as you speak!"

I turned on the shower and let the warm water drip down my body, as I rested my
head against the tiles. Moving to Carmel was gonna be hard to adjust to. The
palm trees and sun, I can take. But the school? Its bad enough it took me three
years to find a friend in my old one.

When I came out of the shower, I checked my emails. Or she-mails, and my dad so
amusingly calls them. Whatever.

See you there! said Dad.

I'll miss you babe, said Aimee.

Man, I was going to miss Aimee. God knows I was never going to get another
girlfriend in Sunny CA.

"Are you ready?" called Gran.

I stuffed a pair of socks into my bag, and thrust it onto my shoulders. OK, I
was ready. Just.

"Flight 17 boarding in ten minutes, ladies and gentlemen, ten minutes."

"Thats you!" said Gran, excitedly. I fished my ticket out of my bag and held it
in my teeth as I zipped up my JanSport bag.

"Oh hon, I'm gonna miss you something crazy," said Gran, hugging me tight.

"Gran... ow... Gran. Gran! I gotta go!"

"OK..." she said, releasing me. I got my breath back, gulping huge lungfuls of
air.

"Thanks Gran. Bye Gran." I kissed her cheek and set off towards the plane.

"Bye bye my Jesse!" she called. "I hope you packed clean underwear!"

Oh my God. My Gran didnt just say that in public... did she?

Haha!

Review please!

Lots of Love
