1 Moving

My footsteps are slow and steady as I enter my new bedroom. I put the heavy box of books down and look around. New city, new adventures. Adventures in my head, like I'm getting out of this room ever again. Ha, this is really big than my last bedroom. The best thing is I would not share it with my older siblings. Wow, with more furniture and decorations this would look good, especially with the big window. With the money I have saved I can buy a full mirror. Oh, yes yes. This would look good. Expect my boxes, there is also a big bed in the middle, with one side the big window and one side the closet door. I need covers for the bed too. "DAD?!" I yell and my voice echoes through the house. Dad should have put any covers into the other boxes. I head downstairs, it seems in the only one that has brought her boxes from the car to her room. I see a box with big letters <<Margo>> Yeah, probably the only one. I look for the any box that has <<Bed sheets>> or something similar written on it. A middle aged man with a blond short beard and blond hair walks through the door. "Dad?" He puts down the two big boxes he is holding. "I need bed covers" he looks at me with my similar green eyes. "Did you check the boxes?" He pushes with with leg few boxes from his way and looks around. He moves towards were the living room is, right next to the front hallway where we are standing. "Kind of" I struggle my shoulders. He comes to a stop in front of a box, he opens it. I can't see the letters, it must be on the other side. He pulls out a pink blanket. No! Oh, hell no. Is that..? He hands it to me "Here you go sweetie, take from the box the other bed sheets. There are more boxes to come" the hallway is almost full with boxes "But dad, those covers are from when I was in elementary" he ignores my words "Do you wanna help with the rest of the boxes?" I quickly pull out the rest covers along with pillow covers and head upstairs quickly "I have to fix my bedroom, LOVE YOU" I yell the last word as I reach the top of the stairs. I go quickly towards the end of the hallway. I close the door of the bedroom once I'm in. I push everything I hold into my side to the floor spreading my hands. I run to the bed and jump towards it basically. As I fall I slightly bounce. My dad was transferred as a police officer here in Spain. My mom basically told us that we are moving to Spain the day Dad told her as we were having dinner. She just spit the words "Okay we are all going then" I don't even know what is this place's name, but it's okay. Sigh. I got to fix in here and text Avery. Oh, I'm gonna text Avery first. I get my body up. I grab my phone out of my backpack, opening messages 'How is Italy, my babe?' A text arrives seconds after starring at the screen. 'Sucks without you, but good. How is Spain, my boo?' I laugh at 'my boo'

'Good I guess. Just arrived at the new house.'

'Is it big?'

'Compared to our other house, yes' I'm surprised dad got this at a good price. I snap a picture of outside the window, with the view the green backyard.

'Love it already' she texts

I get a video call

"Show me the room babe" her voice sounds right after I answer

"Great to see you too Av's" I put the camera to show from the other side and show her the room. "Are you gonna fix that?"

"I am" I put the camera back on front and leave the phone at the side table in the corner. It has better view of all the room

"Ok, I'm helping you now. I'm a pro at this"

I laugh out loud throwing my head back before I look at her though the screen. I see her grinning with excitement. Avery charges her room style every two months, so yeah, she is right when she says she is a pro. Okay, let's do this. "Okay, first of all fix the bed. It bothers me seeing the pink covers at the floor." I grab the sheets and put them on the bed, then the pillows. I grab the blanket dad gave me. Oh, I hate it already. "Hahaha, shut up, I remember those teddy bears from anywhere. Ahaha, I didn't know you have kept that blanket." "Shut up. My dad just gave me those and I didn't know he even had them." I laugh and put the blanket on. "Oh, you remember my stuffed animal from second grade? Mom found them and look" she grabs something and shows me the blue giraffe. She laughs again "Okay let's continue now. Let's start with your closet, and leave the room for last."

That's how it went. Avery giving me instructions and speaking about her boyfriend.

I lay down on the pink teddy blanket. I hold my phone up my face, the light falls all over. "I like Joshua. He is a pretty nice guy. Easy to track down too." My hair spread wide. "Hahaha, yeah, I guess he really posts every time with exact locations" she really understands my jokes. I look out of the window and see night to have fall over. I should open a light but I'm bored "What time is in Italy? Shouldn't you be sleeping?" Her face rests on her fist "I'm not sleepy" "then why are your eyes closed?" She opens them "I'm just resting them" I smile at her "I miss you, Av's. I miss our sleepovers, I miss your whole existence" she puts her hand down "I miss uncle's food." "Oh my god, you miss my dad and not me? I'm deeply hurt, Avery Wilson." She scratches behind her ear "I don't care" I laugh with my legs in the wall up as I lay down. The door behinds makes a sound, I turn to find mom. "Food is ready, sweetie" "I be there in a minute." I get my legs off. "Time for me to go and eat, Avery" my mom stops leaving as she hears <<Avery>> she turns around "Okay, boo." "Is it Avery? Our Avery?" I stare at her "Yes." "Hey Avery, sweetheart!" "Hey, aunt! How's the fam?" "Good so far. Say hi to your mother for me. Tell Steven hi too." "Roger that, aunt Zoey" "Okay, talk to you tomorrow, Ave" I tell her "Goodnight" she tells me "Goodnight babe." She hunts up the video chat. "Let's go mom." Mom follows me "Avery, that sweet girl. How is she is Italy?" "She is good. What's for dinner?" I ask as we walk to the kitchen. Most of the boxes are empty. "Sandwich" I nod at her words. I take a sit next to Austin. "Sup' lil sis" he muffled my hair with his hand "Sup' big bro" I muffle his hair. Oh sweet comeback. I grab one of the sandwiches in the big plate. I take a bite. Mom sits next to dad but not before she gives him a peck on the lips. Ew, I scrunch my nose. Margo is sitting to the other side of the counter with a halfway sandwich eaten. That's my sister for you. Her brunette hair fall in her face. Although the twins have brunette hair I took after dad. "Tomorrow you all starting school" so soon? "Are the papers all ready so fast?" Dad nods "Can I have a car?" Austin asks dad "No" he keeps on eating. "I have a lot of savings" "No" now mom is the one to answer. Austin, of course should be giving up now. Wait, "Dad I haven't bought a backpack or school stuff." "You will use the ones from last year." Do we have them? I don't put mine on any box. "Your mom packed them too. There was a matter of fact before you guys started school again" I bite down at my sandwich. Oh god, first day's always suck. Ah, I need Avery.
