"Moooom! Why here? Of all places? It's so boring. The schools are poor and none of my friends go here? I'm gonna be the new girl everyone will make fun of." I'm so mad right now I don't think I can introduce myself, but I will. It's not your fault I'm miserable.

My name is Deborah. Deborah Evans. I'm 16 years old and have the best life ever. Well, HAD because mom and dad forced us to move to Ian. The most boring and poorest place ever. It's out in the country, and as much as I love nature, I also appreciate a nice Starbucks and Bojangles. This town is so freaking small, like, there is only one most known restaurant, Subway. Not many people like it anyways.

I'm live with my mom, dad, and three younger sisters. I wish I had a brother so bad. Don't get me wrong, I love my sisters, but you can only get along with them but so many times before an argument breaks out. Plus, the two younger girls, Victoria and Isabella are so freaking girly. Whereas my sister Nikki and I are not.

Mom and Dad said it was time to move so we moved to Ian. We got this two story house in a nice neighborhood, but we left my sisters lives and mine behind.

We are unloading everything from our car, which brings us to the beginning.

"I already told you honey, we need space. Plus, it'll be a fresh start for you. You can be yourself and not pretend to be someone that you're not." Mom says pointedly at me. I keep quiet at this and keep on walking towards the house with the big heavy box.
Ever since I started middle school I changed, not for good, but for bad. I started hanging out with the wrong crowd and that's where I began cursing, having an attitude, and being a fake; even to myself. By the time I reached my sophomore year in Highschool, I learned that not every friend I had was a friend. Sure, i still talked to my "friends" and cursed and had an attitude here and there, but I learned to not go all crazy.

"Hey mom, can I choose my room first?" I hear Nikki yell. Then I hear Victoria yell, " NO! I choose first, I'm the youngest."
"Isabella is the youngest" Nikki replies.
"Yeah, but she's only 4 so she sleeps with mom and dad. Leaving me to be the first to choose." Victoria argues back. 
Mom sighs and goes upstairs. I hear the girls and mom arguing while I'm going upstairs with the box and set it in the "public" bathroom.

The house had 6 bedrooms with bathrooms. It had 3 other bathrooms and a half one. So 9 1/2 bathrooms. Yeah, we were wealthy, but we were humble. Well, my mom and I was. My dad liked to brag about it along with my sisters.

I was about to go down to the car again for more stuff when I heard mom call me. "Yes mom?"
"Since your sisters are arguing, you get to choose your room first."
Both my sisters looked at me and gave me puppy eyes.

I rolled mine and said,

"Let them rock, paper, shoot it, best 2 out of three to see who gets to choose first. Buuut, the attic and basement are mine, apart from the room I choose. Ya know, since I choose last."
They immediately agree and start. Victoria ends up winning and gets the 3rd largest upstairs room. She got that one because it had a small trapdoor.

Nikki got the 2nd largest upstairs room because it had a balcony.
I love my  sisters but they are slow sometimes. I ended up winning big time.
Not only did I get the attic and basement for myself, but I got the 1st and only largest bedroom of the entire house. It had a balcony that looked out to our backyard and the forest and beautiful countryside, which also had a lake. My room was huge, it was like both my sisters rooms combined together, including the bathroom, and they were huge.

I went back downstairs to finish unloading the car with my sisters and mom. Nikki had gotten the last box when dad arrives with Bella. He had gone to buy some Chinese food with Bella while we unloaded the stuff.

"Hey Dad." I say as I walk up to him and give him a peck on his cheek. I go to the backseat and unbukle Bella from her booster seat and set her down.
"Hey honey. Is everything done?"

"Yes, sir. We just now finished. We just have to unpack and we're done."

"Good, the furniture will arrive tomorrow around 16:30. You'll be home from school by then." Dad never went into the military, he was English but was raised in France. They do the 24 hour time and he's used to it.

"Okay. I'll make sure I'll attend them."

"Great, now let's eat. I'm famished." I laugh and we head inside.
We eat on the floor since we have no furniture. After dinner, we each head to our rooms. I look through one of my boxes to get my toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, floss, facewash, lotion, and face cream. I get my pjs out and go take a shower. After, I brush my teeth, floss,  mouthwash, brush teeth, floss brush teeth and mouthwash. Hey, don't judge. I love my teeth, I only do this because I eat a lot of candy.

Anyway, I do that. I change and brush my hair. I go downstairs to tell mom and dad and Bella good night. I give them a kiss and head upstairs to help my sisters.
We had to sleep in sleeping bags for tonight so I had to help them.

Once they were each settled in, I went to my room. I was too tired to play my guitar and piano and sing. I was too worried about tomorrow.

What if no one likes me? What if I make a fool of myself? No! Deborah, stop. You'll do just fine, just be yourself. The real you, it's a chance to start again and forget about the past.

......Adriel. That was my last thought before I fell into a heavy sleep.
