The story of a 14 year old experiencing heartbreak, anxiety and depression. After her parents divorced she had to move cities with her mom. It was hard to leave all her friends behind. Although, she was excited to meet new people and go to a new sch...
I look out the window right when the plane touches the ground. Austin, Texas, new school, new friends, new lover ? Mom and I walk out the plane, I turn around to look at her, she smiles and continues walking. "Mom, can we get coffee before leaving the airport?" I say in a slowed voice. She gives me that look, which I know means "Yes" I head over to the Coffee Shop, a big sign read Paris Coffee Shop.
"Uh..Hey ! Can I Please Have A Medium Iced Coffee With Soy Milk And Caramel Drizzle ?"
"$4.50" Mumbled The Barista.
The Barista Was Stunning. Silky Blonde hair, Emerald Green Eyes And A Beautiful Smile. She Looked Like She Was Around My Age. I Peeked Down The Counter To See What She Was Wearing. She Had On A Black Sweater With Her Barista Apron Around Her Neck.
"Name Please?" She Exclaimed While Looking Down At The Cup.
"Sydney"
She Writes It Down, While I Get My Money Ready, I Put It On The Counter, Then Go To The "Pick Up" Counter. My Mom Was Wandering Around The Airport Shops. I Go On My Phone To Tell My Best Friend, Sadie That I Arrived To Austin, Texas.

"Sydney!" The Cute Barista Exclaimed. I Walk Towards Her To Get My Drink And All Of A Sudden We Touch Hands. I Get Butterflies In My Stomach And My Hand Get Sweaty. We Look At Each Other And Stay There For A Couple of Seconds. She Then Drops Her Eyes And I Take My Drink.
"Thank you" I Say In A Nervous Voice.
"Of course ! Um...May I ask you a quick question? " She asked in a calm voice.
My heart drops. "Oh my gosh, what do I say, what is she gonna tell me ?" I panic inside
"Oh uh, yeah sure !" I answered.
"What school do you go too?" she questions.
"Oh, I'm new here, I just moved as you can tell. I will be going to SunnySide Academy.
"Oh my gosh! I'm a Sophomore in SSA! " She exclaims.
I couldn't believe my ears. She goes to my school, OH MY GOSH!
"That's really cool, well see you!"
I walk away from her and look for my mom.
We hop into a car she had rented.
"What took you so long?" My mom asked.
"Uh nothing, I was just talking to the barista, she goes to my school."
"That's great! We've been here for 10 minutes and you've made a friend !"
"Mom, we talked for 2 minutes, we aren't really friends yet but go on."
She opens Google Maps and enters our new house address. I was excited to see the house and get a new room. Back in Colorado, I shared a room with my brother and it was horrible ! Glad to get some privacy and silence. My brother stayed in Colorado with my grandma. My father is in jail for 1st-degree murder.
I looked out the window, thinking "Woah, this is really different."
I connect my phone to the radio and played Sweater Weather.
"And all I am is a man, I want the world in my hands, I hate the beach..."
I played this song so much, my mom nearly memorized it!
"Here we are, this looks like the right place." Mom stated.
"Ohh fancy, who's that man in front of the house?" I say in confusion.
"That's the guy that's gonna be showing us around the house."
I hop out of the car, carry my backpack and put my sweater on.
"Hello ladies, I'm Lucas Martinez, Mr. Martinez. I will be showing you around."
"Nice to meet you, Mr.Martinez, let's get started !" Mom exclaims.
We follow the man in, the house is very spacious and simple. It had shades of white and grey. The kitchen looked big enough for me to make big messes. After visiting the downstairs, we headed to see my room. It was perfect, not too big, not too small. It had windows and a built-in closet. I was pretty happy about it. They gave us the house keys and left. It's a busy day tomorrow. We're going to get furnisher, a car, find mom a job and go around the city!
