“Rosie! Rosie! Rose May Smith wake up! We've arrived to California and if you don't wake up now, then we're leaving without you,” said my dear mother. My mother's really sweet but she can be little sour when it comes to waking me up. Can't blame her though.

I groaned while waking up, surrendering myself after hearing my mother's warning bells. My dad, Joseph Thamos Smith, took my hand guiding me towards security check. After claiming our luggage, we got into a cab and started off to the place which soon will be our new home.

While in cab, I enjoyed the view of the city. Now I know why people always wish to come to this place at least once in their lifetime. The city is full of life. You see girls wearing shorts and sunny dresses , people having great time with friend and the beaches! How I always wanted to live in a place which is close to a beach!

My dad works as a general marketing head in an advertising firm which is London. After the success of a big project, he got promoted to the Head quarters of the firm which is in California and that's the exact reason why we're in Cali.

When dad told me about his promotion, I was so happy but later when he told me that we had to move to California leaving everything behind. It took me awhile to understand that this was necessary, that my dad deserves this and I need to support him.

I was really difficult to say goodbye to my friends, neighbours, teachers, my school. I may sound weird saying this but I'm even going to miss Katy 'the ultimate bitch'.

I was never into partying or going out to club. I don't know how it feels to be grounded or to sneak out of the house, to be with your friends or boyfriend. You must be thinking that I'm a loner but no, I'm not. I do have friends. I just avoid things which might get me into trouble. Bianca, my best friend, says that I'm just being a naive and that I should loosen a bit. I'm not a screw to loosen up! I'm perfectly fine the way I am. My elder sister, Sophia, is the party animal. She pulls the attention wherever she goes, she has that charm. I'm the one you'd find in a corner reading a book, basically avoiding human contact.

Tap on my shoulder helped me to come out of my thoughts. I turned to my right facing mum. She smiled at me and I returned it. “Rosie, I'm sure you're going to love this place, I promise. Joseph had shown me the images of our new home and it's exquisite,” said my mother. She started showing me pictures of the house. I hope it's as beautiful as it appears to be in the pictures.

I'm sure mum is already planning dinner and get togethers with our soon to be neighbors. That's my mother for you. I'm extremely tired and just want to sleep now. Soon dad told us that we've reached our destination.

That's all for now. Bye!
