Chapter1#

It all started on a sunny tuesday at school when I asked Jamie Lock if she wanted to go swimming, and continued with a simple, one sylable word. "sure! " Swimming...............in my world that had a whole new meaning...relaxing, adventure, surprises! "is there anything you want to say to me?" I aksed with a full grin. "Like what she said?" My smile slowly turned to a frown. How could she not remember its MY birthday, nobody remembered! Not even my parents! Anger filled my body. I felt like a volcanoe ready to burst any moment! "nothing......nothiing at all...." I finally said. The walk to my house was quiet. The quietness stopped as Jamie stopped, she looked nervous. She stared at her silver watch on her arm and said "lets take a break". She stepped to the side and pulled out her phone. I could bearly hear her voice as if she were whispering. I muttered under my breath. I bet my brothers wrecked my room,called Jamie for help. and pretended that nothing happened. Just before Jamie hung up I heard her say: "perfect shes there, get ready" After hearing that I knew somthing was fishy. Jamie could tell what I was thinking, I bite my lips when I think really hard and Jamie plays with her hair to try to act ordinary while shes spying. When we arived at the house Jamie pushed me out of the way knocked 5 times on the door. Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Then stood next to me again. I was sorta creeped out. "Um....I have a key you know..." Jamie looked down. I turned the knob, the room was dark and looked gloomy.yikes! I turned on the lights and a room full of familar people stood. "SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!"

Chapter 2#

I stood there with my jaw wide open, I was happy and angry. The happy part was that my friends and family did remember my birthday. The angry part was that I was standing in the middle of the living room with a pink and blue unicorn shirt that said: Unicorns Rock!. My cheeks turned red as I stared at my shirt. Why was I wearing this shirt anyway!!! I never liked it. Oh yeah I wore it after I thought my parents forgot and thought they would remember.My grandma gave it to me for my birthday last yeat. I forgot to take it off before I went to school! "Um...WOW" I was speach less. "Thank you!" I looked around and saw a glowing figure in the backround. My neighbor blocked most of it though. "Thats not all!" Jamie said. A familar song filled the air. At first I could not put my tounge on it but then I remebered. I felt like crawling in a hole!
"Myth or tale unicorns unite!" Said the lead singer. The band Myth was here!!!! Myth is a band for LITTLE LITTLE kids!!!! I was turning 12 and they put out a band in my living room for 3 year olds!!!!! I guess drawing mushstahces on the unicorn poster in my bedroom means I LOVE unicorns!!!! "I DON"T" I yelled!! Suddenly the room went quiet. Thats not good! I'm thing too hard and saying it out loud! "You don't what? Jamie asked" "Um....." MY mind raced with thoughts. " "Don't you just LOVE the music" I said nourvesly. The room nodded and started chatting again. I sighed with releif. "LET EMILY OPEN THE PRESENTS" said Brent my cousin.
And so I did. I was surprised to see that I have not recived anything for the pool, such as a bathing suit or a raft. Nothing!! Pretty much right after that my parents brought out a unicorn cake. I was getting pretty upset. I gobbled it quickly. Then slowly everybody left. My parents told me to sit on the sofa and so I did. My dad handed me a sky blue envolpe with my name on the front. If I knew what was in that envolpe before I would have never opened it...............

Chapter 3#

" YAY you bought me that swimmers card that I wanted didn't you! "
My parents looked doubtfull so I knew I did not get my swimmers card I wanted. " My dad stared at the envolope and I realized he wanted me to open now.
I ripped the top of firecly and when I opened it i was surpised that there was a paper that looked like a PLANE TICKET! I pulled it out and read the information on it.

"Your dad got a promotion in England, We are moving in 1 week"
I thought I was about to cry! Every thing I'V done, and did will be shatterered! My dreams and EVERY THING! Anger and sadness was swelling inside of me then out of no where I blurted out: "HOW COULD YOU!!!" And I marched of into my bed room and slammed the door. My parents must of know I was going to do that cause they didn't yell at me for slamming the door. I grabbed my blue fishy pillow and held it to my face and started crying. And this time I don't think I will ever stop crying.......

Chapter 4#

I wanted to go call Jamie and vent. She was a good listener, I don't know how I'll ever find a better friend then Jamie. I was about to pick up the house phone at the edge of my night stand when I noticed a pecuilar squarish object in the cornor of the room. I walked up to it and gasped. It was the under sea diarama I wanted for 3 years!!! Every year I asked if I could have it and they always said maybe next year. I carfully opened the cardboard box while wipping my eyes. I took out the instrustions and began to read.

Instructions:

Take out fish eggs and turtle eggs. Place into warm water until they hatch

When hatched put in room temperture water to the aquarum givin.

Put the fish and turtles inside

Add some rocks and reefs also givin in the kit

Feed 3 times a day and clean water every 2 months

Enjoy!

I stared at the instuctions. I smiled, Well at least I get to take fish with me to England! I picked up the box and put it on my bed. I was looking inside for the fish guide but with everything so cluttered I gave up and desided I could look at it in England. "England" I said with a sigh. "Here I come!" I frowed again at the thought and stared at the box. I sighed again and looked out the window. This is going to be a LONG week

Chapter 5#

I logged on my computer, I thought that if I go to England I might as well know what it is about.BUt first I think i should check my e-mail. Well I was wrong, I should have NEVER checked my e-mail. I should have just googled: England sights. I should have been fasinated but NO I opened my e-mail. There it was. A letter from my mom:

Emily, I know you are upset. I know if I come in there you will be mad, that is why I'm e-mailing you. Here is the INFO on the place we wil be going to. There is a big oak tree and a flower bed,
That is all I can tell you. Good night!

~MOM~

Um.....odd. Oak tree and flower bed.....hmm......."MOM!!!!!!!!!!!" A few seconds later my mom came in. "I knew you were going to say that" she said. Here are the pictures of the house. I looked at the house. It was HORRIBAL!!!!! The front yard had dead leaves and grass, the oak tree BARELY had any leaves, and the flower bed had NO flowers. "THIS IS WHERE WE WILL BE LIVING!!!" I sreamed. This is a dump!.....
