It was Sunday morning when we got ready to move into our new house in New York. We packed our things and went to New York in our car. We all were excited except me. Talking about me, I'm Adriana, an introvert wearing glasses and I almost look like a nerd. I'm pretty intelligent in schoolwork and was in the top 10 in my class. I didn't get bullied for my looks but I was still insecure about my appearance. While these thoughts drooled in my mind, we reached our new home. It was a nice comfy house, I thought.

That day, after I returned home, I felt that even though I was nervous at first, everything turned out great. Sofia supported me a lot in school and as a friend, she was friendly and kind.
