It was really unexpected. Especially when your fixated on your current home.
I live in California right now, I love the beaches the waves and I would surely miss all of it.
Especially my friends. They're good people, not like those bad influence.
The next morning;
My mum told me to pack up because we would leave early. But as usual the lazy part of me disobeyed my mum.
Instead, I went out to say my last goodbye to my friends I was leaving behind.
I went to our usual hang out, which was the mall.
"Urgh, were gonna miss you Perce." Cook said.
He was one of my very most bestfriend.
"Yeah, be sure to write to us."
Jessica added. She was the smart one of the group.
And she was rather bosy at times.
"Don't go changing on us now."
Derek said. He was the softy guy above all.
He was always really caring and usually the only guy who knows whats up.
"Yeah, And keep your virginity bro."
Jay said. His the 'bad ass' guy but deep down, his kinda like derek.
"Ahh. I'll miss you guys, alot. I'll be sure to keep in touch with you guys."
I said. And then i got a call from my mum telling me to go home already.
"I gotta go guys. See you in the summer." I waved them goodbye and thats probably the last time ill ever see them Considering the fact that its too expensive to even go to Manhattan and back.
I got home, packed up and got ready. I wore alot of layers just to keep warm,
Because my dad said it was pretty cold there.
"What the hell are you wearing?" My brother, Tyson, insulted.
I was older than he was.
But Tyson has alot of 'issues'. Lately, his been skipping school and flunking his grades.
I caught him once in his room smoking and saw him leave late at night.
There were traces of cigarette buds and even weed.
He probably goes out and go 'partying'. But the good brother that I was, I never told on him.
"Shut up. Don't you have better things to do than insult me?"
I said.
"Nope." He replied confidently.
"Come on boys! We're leaving!"
My dad yelled from down stairs.
I grabbed my blue bag. Looked at my room for the very last time.
The wallpaper was sky blue. My bed was on the middle of the room.
And the window beside it. I always look outside that window and look at the stars.
I let out a big sigh and looked down, closing the wooden door that ive probably closed and opened a hundred times.
I went downstairs and out. I turned around just to see the house I grew up in.
Now, you're probably wondering. Why are you moving if you love that house so much?
Simple. My dad's work. He got a big promotion that was hard to turn down.
Considering the big money that was involved, we just had to move.
Its either, be away from the family or go with the family. And he went with the obivious answer.
"Come on percy, we gotta go." sighed my mum.
I got in the taxi and headed for the airport.
Soon later, I'm in an airplane headed for Manhattan.
I think it was about a six hour flight which was super boring.
All I did was watch a movie on the screen replying a movie over and over.
We arrived and got to a taxi.
New York was awesome. They were tall buildings and stuff.
But hopefully, they'll be alot of beaches too.
We got to the our new house.
It was nice I guess. It kinda looked like an apartment.
It was white and had a red roof, a fence at the front and it was connected to another house beside it.
I guess its normal for houses to look like this in manhattan.
We got inside. The first thing you'll see was the kitchen. It was straight down the hall.
The living room was at the left side and on the right was the stairs.
It had 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Well, I was superior to my Brother so I got the room with the bathroom.
It had brown wallpaper, a bed in the middle, a desk on the side and a huge window at the left.
I guess it was pretty nice. But I would be changing the wallpapars soon enough.
I just wanted the color blue.
I layed on the bed. Staired straight on the ceiling.
And my mind floated with the thoughts of my friends back at California.
Especially Jessica, I really like her. Not to mention shes the prettiest girl in school.
And the thought of her being half way around the country sickens me.
But I know I had to put up with it. I know I couldn't do anything.
I was always afraid, I never fought for something that I badly wanted. I just go with the flow.
I wanted to tell my parents that I didn't want to move. I just wanted to stay where I grew up in.
But I just couldn't. I always do what they wanted me to do and everything stayed fine.
I got out of my bubble when the doorbell rang.
I heard mum opened it up and a people started talking.
And I heard footsteps coming up. A guy with dark brown hair and brown eyes was smiling at me.
And then it got to me. It was my cousin Nico Di Angelo.
"Sup relative!" He screamed and put his hands wide then jumped on me.
"Urgh, Nico. What are you doing here?" I groaned. But I was pretty happy he was here.
"Came to see my little cousin of course." He teased.
"Don't call me little were just the same height man." I replied.
"Yeah, yeah. Sure buddy. So, where are you gonna go to college again?" He asked.
"Goode College. Why?" I replied.
"Good. Then you're going to spend the whole year with me man.
I'm gonna make it worth while for you, trust me." He said with a sarcastic face.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I heard you've been a bit-" He squirked his face, "of a momma's boy and been good and obeying.
So we need to change that couz'"
"What? I can't do that."
"We'll see."
We were talking about my life in California and chatted a bit about him.
When a woman, not my mum, yelled from down stairs.
"Nico! Come on, we gotta go." She yelled.
"Is that your mum?" I asked.
And he nodded.
"Hi, Mrs. Di Angelo!" I greeted.
"Oh Hi, there Percy, How are you?"
"Good." I replied.
"See you tomorrow at school man. We got lots of plans." He winked and smriked then closed the door behind him.
I gave out a sigh and landed on the bed. Not soon after, I fell asleep.
