I threw my hands up in the air, dancing in the backseat of the car and sang along to the radio as we cruised down the expressway in our convertible. My parents sat in the front and my little brother Hunter and I were partying like idiots but we didn’t care, we were getting out of crappy New Lenox, which is on the outskirts of Chicago, for good and moving to Florida - Naples, Florida.
A few months ago, around in February, my dad got offered a job down here but he waited to move until my freshman year was over; and now it finally was. I hated Illinois and I was so ready for a fresh start. Let’s just say my reputation had been trashed completely and I needed to get out of that school as fast as my dad would let me.
Not to mention, I’m terrified about starting school here because everyone’s known each other for so long! But my mom is best friends with our new neighbors, the Ferm family I believe, and one of the son’s will be a sophomore, too, so as long as we get along I won’t be a total loner. I’m relieved to get out of my old school and I’m just blessed I made it out of their mentally sane.
Although, the person I’m going to miss the most is my boyfriend Jake. I left him back home so I’m a bit nervous on how our relationship will be because we’re now managing long distance. But Jake’s such a sweetheart and we’ve been together for almost a year so I have faith. He would have loved living in Florida; it’s beautiful and we always talked about living there someday and now I finally am.
Palm trees lined the side of the roads and the sun is blazed into our sunglasses. As my dad pulled onto the exit, my stomach dropped from excitement. I was getting away from everything and I was just going to hang loose and just do whatever this summer. I was a free spirit!
I peeked around the seat to glance at the GPS, and it’ll be another 10 minutes. C’mon man, let’s go here! I wanted to see my new house already and I was getting anxious.
Sighing, I rested my head against the seat and closed my eyes, feeling my blonde wavy hair whip against the wind. I couldn’t help smirking to the satisfaction that I was going to enjoy the sun and beach instead of staying trapped in that hell hole of New Lenox.
But now that I was escaping that place I felt free and let the sun was beat down on my face; then again it was a little bit past noon so it was expected. The beat of the song on the radio, pulsed through my ears and I nodded my head to it.
Finally free. Away from all the drama. Away from the betrayal.
I’ve never felt so happy and my mind began wandering thinking about all this things to do this summer and the possibilities were endless and I smiled with the thought of every idea: beach parties, bonfires, skinny dipping, surfing, skateboarding, late nights out…
Suddenly, I felt the car slow as we turned down roads and then the radio got muted. I jolted up in disgust but instead of following through with my arguing I realized that we were looking at our new house.
Our. New. Home.
