I woke up and realised today was the best freaking day of my life. I was moving to USA. Well not exactly moving, but going there for a year and half as foreign exchange student. God, I’m so happy today. 

It’s not like I won’t miss my parents or anything, not like they would care if I leave anyway. 

You see they don’t have 'time' for me.  Always working. 

 That’s probably one of the reasons why I study a lot. I try to do whatever I can to gain their attention.When I was young it was just breaking plates or expensive stuff. Now that I’m old, I try to do something else. It doesn’t work though. They are never at home. 

My mum’s Chilean and my dad is kiwi. I know, different but they love each other. I don’t have any siblings. One person I’ll miss the most is my best friend, Jemma.

I was so lost in my thoughts I didn’t notice when my phone went off. 

I checked the caller and smiled. I was really going to miss this girl, I picked up the phone and before I could say anything…she said‘I'm on my way, you better get your sexy ass up and get ready. We are going to the beach for a while before going to the airport’  and with that she hung up on me. 

I was still gaping at my phone because yet again she managed to surprise me. 

What the hell just happened?

This wasn’t new but just unexpected. One thing I know is that I love this girl to death. She’s always there for me.

She’s been arguing with me for a while now, over why was I going to USA when I’ve already done year 12 here. She makes sense, ay? I was going to do year 13 here anyway but I thought better off it and decided to go explore and enjoy plus I was going to graduate early because...Well, I’m nerd like that.

I spaced out again,I was doing that lot today. I went to put some music on and started getting ready. 

I chose to wear a black top with high waist shorts and my black converse. I love my shoes. I think I own at least 6 different colours for converse and vans. Its good since I don’t own any heels. 

I was about to open my room door after getting ready to head downstairs but someone beat me to it, almost knocking me down on the floor. I was still catching my breath from the sudden movement, and noticed that Miss Jemma was already picking my stuff to put it into car, all this while shouting how I should hurry up.

She was driving and I had no idea where she was taking me. She said we were going to the beach but it’s not the way. I looked around and yeah, we are near the mall. 

‘Why mall? I thought you said we’ll go to the beach and then airport?’ I asked her totally confused.

‘You’re not going in their missy, I am. Wait for me I will be back in like 10 minutes.’ And she took off. I swear this girl is something else.

Since I had nothing better to do for next 10 minutes,I started reading a book on my phone. I love reading.

 Wattpad.

Isn’t this app like the best app in the history of apps? I opened it and I was again lost in world of my own. When I read I don’t pay attention to what is happening around me.

Jemma came back after 7ish minutes; she looked at me then at my phone screen, she shook her head and mumbled something along the lines ‘I can’t believe you’re reading.’

‘Hey, why are you even surprised? You know me too well if you leave me alone and I’m bored, I will read.’ I said after catching up her words. 

She looked at me but didn’t say anything. I was waiting for her to mock me or something but nope, nada, nothing.

  

We were at the mountain, instead of going to the beach because I was not in mood for beach, to which she said I know a perfect place where we can go then. She parked the car, and we both got out. It was really cold up here. I asked her why here? This is the place where we usually come when we are bored, upset, and scared or anything to be honest. It was like our spot. 

We were sitting on the hood of the car and I poked her arm. She looked at me and hugged me that’s when I noticed the tear in her eyes. 

I patted her back, I, too was crying now. 

‘I’m going to miss you a lot.’ Jemma said after a moment of silence. I was going to miss her too.  She was like a sister I never had.

‘I’m going to miss you too, don’t worry man; I will be back in no time.’ I hugged her again. 

Then she handed me a packet, I looked at her with confusion clear in my eyes. ‘Open it,’ she said.

 

It was a charm bracelet from Pandora, it consisted my favourite things. I smiled while putting it on and hugged my girl once again while saying thank-you over and over again. She giggled. 

I was in the plane and thinking about all the things. My life in New Zealand and everything. 

It was an hour till we land. Far out man 12 hours of flight is damn tiering.

I started thinking again, I really hope people I’m going to live with are nice, now it was just a waiting game. Although, I had this weird feeling inside of me, it was different. 

Good different.
