Dimitri's POV

I don't want to leave home. Russia is, and has been my home ever since I was born but, today we had to move. We, being my mother Olena, grandmother Yeva, and my 3 sisters: Karolina, Sonya and Viktoria. We live in Baia, a town in Siberia, Russia. As much as I loved this place, I couldn't wait to leave it. There has been many bad memories in this pace, especially for my mother. And I just want my family and I to move past it. My best friend, Christian and his Aunt Tasha offered for us to live at their home in America.

Christian Ozera is my best friend. We've only known each other for 2 years but we share everything that it's as if we've known each other all our lives. Christian is American but he, along with Tasha, moved to Russia after Christian's parents was murdered. Christian and Tasha are like our extended family, they once lived with us but that was before they found their own house here in Russia, we didn't want them to move but our house wasn't big enough to accommodate them. Several months ago, Chris turned 18 and so he inherited his parent's mansion in America. After a lot of discussions and arguments, it was decided that we would be moving to America with them to avoid our past here.

My mother is a nurse, so she will be working at a nearby hospital near Ozera's house while Viktoria and I will go to school with Chris. Chris and I are at our senior year while Viktoria is only a sophomore. Sonya and Karolina already finished high school and they didn't want to go to college so they would be looking for a job as well.

I was pretty nervous about moving schools, especially not a Russian one. My English is decent but I never had to use it often before, Chris and Tash can speak Russian. Yeva, my grandmother, is kind of psychic. She has told be something about school.

Flash back (this conversation takes place in Russian btw)

"Dimka, what's wrong?" Yeva asked me.

"I'm just nervous about moving and about school." I answered.

"Oh, Dimka. You don't have to worry. You will fit in in no time. Besides, you have Christian with you." Yeva said, assuring. "Oh and, give her a chance okay? She needs someone. It won't be easy to break her walls, it will take work but it'll be worth it."

Huh?

End of flashback

I don't understand what Yeva meant but if I had asked, all I would get in return is that she can't tell me anymore. That's frustrating.

I thought she was talking about Tasha then. Tasha have always expressed interest in me but we had tried dating but I didn't feel anything towards her but friendship and we decided that we were better off as friends, but that doesn't stop her from hoping we would be together again. Besides, she isn't really my type. Tasha has black hair and blue eyes while I have always been interested in Brunettes that have brown eyes. She is so skinny and she doesn't have any curves, I want a girl who doesn't worry all the time about her weight and eats anything she wants to but isn't overweight, not skinny either. I want a girl who's curvy and who will not break when I hug her tight. And most of all, I want someone who can understand me in way no one else can, someone who isn't afraid to speak her mind and stand up to what she believes in. I haven't met anyone like that yet but I know I will. Yeva said I will.

I took one last look at our house as I climbed onto our car and headed off to the airport. I would miss Russia, it would always be my home but I know I could call America my home too. I have my family and my best friend with me, what else could I need to call a place home?

We checked in at the airport and we saw Tasha and Chris. I gave Christian a one-armed hug and I was only planning on giving Tash a smile but before I knew it, she had me wrapped up in her arms where she lingered a little longer than necessary. Finally, after an awkward moment, she let me go.

"Are you excited, man? You get to see my home now!" Chris said enthusiastically.

"Yeah, man. I'm excited. I haven't been to America before." I replied.

"Well, it's gorgeous and nice. And hey, maybe you'll meet your dream girl." Chris said while wiggling his eyebrows at me. I frowned.

"Nah, I doubt it." I said, wanting the topic to drop because I know how uncomfortable it's making Tasha.

"Seriously, man. There are a lot of beautiful girls there who might fit your specifications." Chris always hated how picky I am with women. But the thing is, I don't want to lead them on then dump them when I don't like them; that's just cruel. The only time it happened was with Tasha, and that's only because she forced me to.

"Chris, drop it."I said. He looked at me then at Tasha then finally nodded his head understandingly.

We boarded the plane and I sat beside my younger sister, Viktoria who snuggled up to me. Within minutes, she was lightly snoring. My eyes were drooping now too, that's what we get for getting a flight at 4am. I took a last glance of Baia before letting sleep consume me.

X~X~X

When I woke up, I no longer see the provincial town of Baia instead I saw building, lots of it.

"We will be starting our descend in 5 minutes so please fasten your seatbelts and Welcome to New York." The flight attendant said. I fastened my seatbelt and did the same to Viktoria who is still fast asleep.

Before I know it, we landed and the plane doors opened. A summer breeze of warm wind greeted us.

"Ah, I have missed you." Christian said as he took a deep breath.

We went straight to baggage claim and went outside where a car with a driver were waiting for us.

"Ms. Ozera, Mr. Ozera, it's so good to have you back." The driver said.

"Thank you, Javier. It's good to be back." Tasha said politely.

We got into the car and it drove off.

"So, do you guys want to go to the restaurant to eat and then rest or the other way around?" Tasha asked.

"I think it will be better to eat first and then rest, I'm sure the kids are very hungry." My mama, Olena, said.

"And besides, we all slept throughout the entire flight, so we can't be tired." I said. All of them nodded in agreement and so it was decided that we will go home first to freshen up then go to a restaurant to eat our first meal of the day.

We stopped in front of a white house, a mansion! The gates opened and Christian frowned.

"What's wrong, man?" I asked.

He shook his head but Tasha answered, "The last time we were here was after his parents' funeral."

I nodded then patted Christian's back.

The house was huge and it had a huge garden as well. Tasha showed us our rooms and mine was across from Christian's. I grabbed a change of clothes got into my bathroom and took a quick shower.

Within the hour, we were all dressed and ready to go. More than ready in fact, we haven't eaten all day.

We arrived at the restaurant about 10 minutes later and it was right beside the mall. We were shown to our seats then we ordered.

"So Christian, Dimka and Vik. We have to go to a bookstore to shop for your school supplies because school starts tomorrow for you guys." Tasha said, all 3 of us just nodded.

We made little talk throughout the entire meal, we were pretty hungry. And I think my family is still a little shocked to be in America, shocked but relieved as well.

After an hour, we were paying for our meal then we headed off to the bookstore, it was around 8pm by then. So within half an hour, Christian and I have bought everything we need so we decided to wait by the book stall near the exit of the bookstore. I was checking out a book when I felt someone's eyes on me. I turned around and I saw her.

She's the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Her dark brown hair is almost to her waist and she has curves; she's not too skinny but not overweight as well, she's just right. I couldn't help as my eyes widened at the sight of her. She must get a lot of dumbstruck boys. She smirked, yeah she's definitely used to the attention, then she looked away. I still kept my gaze at her back and I couldn't help but look at her perfectly defined ass. God, she's perfect!

"Dimitri! Dimitri!" Christian said, as he was waving a hand in front of my face.

"Huh?" was all I said.

"Are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost.

More like an angel, I said to myself. "Uh, yeah. I'm fine. I just saw the most beautiful girl."

He chuckled, "Beautiful? Wow, you've never said that about a girl. Look at you, it's your first day here and you've already got your eye on someone." He laughed. I slapped the back of his head.

I continued thinking about the girl. She was so heartbreakingly beautiful. I can't help but think about her; what's her name? What school does she go to?

Damn! I hope I see her again. I need to see her again.

Whew!

Another chapter up.

So what did you think?

Did you like it?

Review please.

You know, it's kind of disappointing that I get 5

Reviews each chapter, sometimes less.

And that's the reason why I haven't updated in 3 days.

I'm just not inspired because I keep thinking that

I'm not doing a good job.

Sigh.

Please review and give me inspiration.

-jo.
