Diana- The Move (chapter 1)

DIANA 1

Diana sat in the car looking at the trees and buildings go by. She was not happy about this drive. She hated the place to which she was headed. Well she had no reason to hate the place, seeing as though she had never been there. But she knew she hated it even now before she had gotten there.2

Her mother had decided she was tired of living in the city so her family had decide to move to a town. Away from everything that Diana knew. Away from her friends, her school, and just in general everything. Diana was so mad at her parents for making her move away from the city. She was a big city-girl.3

Andy sat out on Nick’s porch talking. Nick and Andy were talking about what they were going to do this weekend. Andy was just picking on Nick about who he would take with him to the movies this Saturday, when Andy looked across the street at the car pulling into the driveway. He watched as a girl climbed out of the back seat with a little backpack and headphones dressed in a pair of jeans and a tank top. 5

He watched walk up the walkway to the front door of the house. Andy had only been in that house once when he had gone with his parents to welcome the people that used to live there. He knew that the house was big. It even looked so just by looking at it. It was by far the nicest, biggest house on the street. And of course the most expansive house as well.6

~*~*~7

Diana walked into the house. It was big, just as her parents had said. It was, what her mother called, a “dream house”. Diana rolled her eyes at thought of this being a dream house. Hardly.8

“Where is my room, mother?” screamed Sean from the hallway.9

Diana walked up the stairs to the second floor. She walked around the floor looking into every room. At the end of the hallway was Diana’s room. It had two windows. One looking at the neighbors house and the other one looking out into the street at the houses across the street. She looked out of the window looking out into the street at the houses and noticed that there were some boys sitting on the porch of the house right in front of her house. She quickly looked away looking at her room tat only had her bed in it. She wanted to go back to the city.10

“That new girl was pretty!” Nick said to Andy after she had walked into the house. Andy looked at the house and watched as the rest of her family walked up the walkway There was a boy a couple of years older then Andy and Nick, whom he figured was her older brother. He also saw who he just guessed were her parents. 12

“Yea, she is very pretty.”13

“Oh, does Andy have a little crush?”14

“What are you talking about Nick? I just said she was pretty”15

“Uh huh” laughed Nick. Andy looked over at the house and noticed the girl looking out of the window upstairs. He smiled to himself.16

Diana put the last piece of clothing into the drawer, and turned around to look at her room. The only thing that she had from her old life was her room. This room looked just like her room looked back home. Everything in this room was comforting to Diana. She was happy in here it was her own way of being back home. Maybe she would get used to living here but she would not like it.18

It wasn’t enough to move to a new house and to a have to start over but now to have to start a new school as well. Diana now had to try ad make new friends. She wanted the ones she had back home. She wanted to go back to the life she had when she lived in the city. 19

Tomorrow was her first day of school and she was dreading going to that new school full of people that she didn’t know. To make things better, this school requested that its students wear uniforms, how was Diana supposed to be herself having to wear a uniform. But the thought of maybe going to school with the boy from across the street brought a smile to her face. The first smile since she’d been here.20
