Chapter 1
"The Move"
‘God I hate this!’ Stephanie thought to herself as she watched the puffy white clouds wiz by her window. She was on a plane with her family on the way to Irvine, California. They were moving there from Alabama. Stephanie didn’t want to move. She’d miss her friends, her house, everything! They had to move because her mom got a great job offer in Irvine. She was happy her mom got the job, and she knew they’d all be better off because of it; but she hated to leave.
They left during the Christmas holiday’s so Stephanie could start back to school when everyone else did. Stephanie didn’t even get to have a birthday party with her friends because she had to leave before her birthday; which was December 30th and she just turned 15. She is in the tenth grade, and is really nervous about starting a new school. She shook off all her thoughts when they had to get off the plane.

A few hours after the plane landed they had all their things and went to get a taxi. They loaded the car and went to their new house. After about fifteen minutes they arrived at their new home. They got out and looked up at the beautiful two story house. Their furniture and stuff had already arrived. They all went inside to unpack and get settled.
After about five days of unpacking, they finally got settled in. Stephanie’s new room was just as pretty as her old one and it was a lot bigger, but she still didn’t feel right in it. She had just hooked up her computer and was online talking to her friends when her mom came in and told her, “Steph, you have ten more minutes. You need to get to bed. You start your new school tomorrow!” she said and left. “Great!” Stephanie mumbled sarcastically to herself. She told her friend Savannah about how she was starting her new school.
StEpHy87: I have ten mins. I have to get to sleep cuz I start my new school 2morrow. Blah!!

After she shut down her computer she got ready and got in bed. She lie there thinking about the next day until she fell asleep.
