- What are you talking about? Are you dreaming? *My mother take off my blanket*
- You better get up and get ready from today, we will flight to California tomorrow, don't tell me you still upset about it *She sit on the bed and shake me awake*
- Huh? Move to California? Is this some king of joke? *I sit up, still drowsy*
- Your father and I was transferred to the branch company in the US, Your transcript is more than good enough to get you into a high school there, maybe even better, but we don't want you to move around too far...
My mother keep talking about moving to a place call Fork. I look down, realize that my body become small, I take my phone and realize it a flip phone. I look around, this is my old room so far.
- Ly, are you listen to me? *My mother knock my head slightly*
- Yes, Mom *I hold my head*
- Alright, remember, my name is Margaret Dương now, your father is Cayden Dương, and your name is Julia Dương now
I try to pinch my cheek

- Hurry up and go prepare, we have a lot to do
- Yes mom I stand up and go prepare even i don't know anything now
... speed up to Fork...
I can't believe i really move in here
I carry my valise and stare at the house. From Vietnam to Fork, California, 15 hours sit on a plane and i already here, still feel vague about the reason for coming here.
- Hey, you guys must be new family, i have the report about it *A police officer walk closer and talk with your parents. You still moving stuff one by one in the car to the house.*
- Julia, come here, say hi to the sheriff of Fork *My father call, I walk out, looking at the sheriff*

- Just call me Charlie, Kid, I'm Charlie Swan
- Hello uncle Charlie *I look at his face, feel something familiar but you don't know what*
- How old is she? *The sheriff talk with my father*
- She 17 years old, she will enter Fork high school next week
- Oh how coincidence, my baby girl Bella will move in Fork and study in there too, they could be friend *the sheriff smile and have small talk with your parents.*
"Bella... Bella Swan...damn it... something wrong in here for sure...but i can't remember what is it" I walk to some big box, brace and carry them into the house. After finish, i gasp and lay down in my bed on the second floors, while my parents room in the downstairs.
- Ly, take a bath and come down stair, we will have pizza for dinner and i have some work for you tomorrow *My mom call*

- Slow down, jezz i won't suprise if you fall down on this stair someday *My mother scold*
