"Excuse me ma'am," I heard while being tapped on the shoulder. I woke up to glistening rays of sunlight shining in my eyes from the airplane window. "I'm sorry," I muttered feeling embarrassed. Everyone had left the plane and I was the only one left. I quickly got up and took up all my bags leaving the plane and thanking the air stewards and stewardesses.

Little did I know that this was going to be a whole new beginning for me.

To Lil' Bro:

Khloe: Al I just arrived!
Alec: Shoosh! I'm sleeping. Go to bed!
Khloe: Slept on plane. Going to Aunt Liz's hse now.
Alec: Yeah yeah. While I'm home with mom and dad right, cool. 🙄 Now stop pestering me.
Khloe: GTG anyway. Bye Alec!
Alec: May the force be with you!
Khloe: ♥️

Everything would change. New city, new school, new people, new me.

Upon arriving here in Brisbane, I saw the beautiful surroundings. Beautiful buildings, the architectural details were so beautiful. The blinding white bridge with geometrical patterns left me brainwashed. It was simply fantastic although the Golden Gate Bridge, London Bridge, and Penang Bridge were mind blowing as well. Perambulating down to the taxi area, people greeted me good morning. They were amazing.

Back to where I lived before, it wasn't very sunny. People just ignored you and watched you walk around, staring without hesitation. Despite that, Ho Chi Minh was a fabulous city. Albeit the air was a bit too polluted with all the cars and motorcycles jeering and causing traffic jams, it was lively and colourful with buildings all around.

This was the first time coming to my aunt's house, or even Brisbane but I was impressed by the surroundings.

My Aunt Liz's house was gigantesque! Nature secluded the bungalow and gave it a beautiful touch. Rainbow flowers dancing in the wind and birds chirping in the morning sun.

"Ding dong!" the doorbell rang. "Hold on! I'm coming Khloe!" my aunt screamed from the other side of the house.

Soon the gates opened revealing two cars. A Porsche and a Mercedes. "Wow!" I gasped. The house was in a creamy colour with plain white windows. It looked like a countryside home.

"G'day Auntie Liz!" I exclaimed. Without saying a word, she pulled me into a bear hug. Gosh, I loved her hugs, hey were always the comfiest, warmest, and softest hugs I have ever had.

"You've grown into such a lovely woman Khlo! You have become so tall. Your hair still wavy, eyes becoming more feline and upturned, and the same blossom lips," she stared into my black eyes. It was black on black and truly awkward. "Uhmm thank y-," I managed to reply when my Uncle Bob stuttered me, "Ey kid! Was e' flight good?" "My favourite Uncle Bobby!" I screamed. "Firstly, do not call me Bobby and mate, e' only have one Uncle Bob," he cried.

We stood there joking around until Aunt Liz screamed for brunch. We had bacon and eggs. "Fresh eggs from our chicken farm. Taste good?" my aunt queried. "Haven't tasted it yet," I replied.

I had a warm and savoury meal. The crunchiness of the bacon perfecting the texture with the main saltiness exploring my mouth. The eggs were scrambled nicely with the golden brown toast sitting below it.

It's only a week until school starts but I was really excited.

After brunch I had I walked to the ice cream parlour. Apparently they had the best ice cream in the whole world. Walking inside, the lady at the counter greeted me good afternoon. I waved back as well saying, "Mornin'. Nice day eh? How are ya?" "Fantastic, my name's Shelley and I'll be serving you today," she told my with a huge smile. "What would you fancy?"

I wanted the choco-mint ice cream (my absoulute favourite) but wanted to test some other ones first. I've never really liked Vegemite before but decided to try a little bit, "May I taste the Vegemite ice cream please?" "Sure," Shelley said.

"SOURRRR!!" I yelled. Some people were staring at me like I was a crazy person. I apologised quickly and turned away shamefully.

After I ordered my choco-mint ice cream I was finding a seat but the house was packed. I was looking around when I noticed two boys where one of them were crying. Because of the cacophony in the parlour, I didn't direct my attention there earlier.

I immediately ran over and hugged the bloke. Weird thing to do usually but hey, that was my instinct.

"Are you alright?" I patted him on the back. He hugged me back tightly saying thank you. I glanced into his sea foam jade eyes. They were beautiful but it all came back to reality when the other guy poked me.

"Ay," he said. "My name's Joe and my friend here is Harry," he shook my hand. I realised they were British, just like me.

Harry had smooth curly short hair. He was tall, and wore skinny jeans with a white t-shirt while Joe was a little bit shorter with longer hair and sipping on a cup of coffee. His eyes were green as well. He had thick eyebrows and a really long neck.

"So basically Harry he-," Joe stuttered. "Joseph Graham Sugg! Stop it," Harry said still sobbing. "Hazz, wait can I call you that? Anyway, it's going to be alright. Whatever happened will just be in the past. Let it go," I whispered.

Hazz conformed in me telling me what had happened. His girlfriend for six months had broken up with him because she supposedly 'found someone better', so Joe here decided to take him for some ice cream.

I hugged him again, "Hey, it isn't worth wasting your tears over some random arsehead who betrayed you. You're better than that. Why don't we go to a carnival to cheer you up. So brief introduction, hi, I am Khloe Rose Taylor, you can call me Khloe." "And, I am Harry Edward Styles. You can call me Harry or Hazz... Or just anything you want," Hazz said.

"Have you forgotten about me?" Joe asked. "Oh hahah. What are you going to say? 'I am Joseph Graham Sugg, call me Joe' or something? Haha,' I teased. "Yeah exactly," Joe replied.

"JOE! HARRY!" a bunch of girls emerged from the darkness leaving me confused.
