Just me II, Julie Collins [old books to read TXT] 📗

did it's fine with them."
As my mom left the room she told me to start packing. I got my leopard
printed suitcase. Then i started taking out my clothes. It took me about three hours to pack up my clothes. I'm beat so I just take my Michael Jackson poster down and put it in my special box. I look around my room and I realize I need more boxes. I'm way to tiered to ask mom for one. Like they say rome wasn't built in a day.
I wake up to the smell of bacon! I love having my mom back at home. I've been eating cereal for weeks. That dry tasteless food made me rush down the stairs.
"Hey honey, good night sleep?" My Mom asked.
"Yea, I am so pumped.I can't wait till we move!" I do a little dance in my seat. Just thinking about LA makes my heart skip a beat. I love LA like I love Michael Jackson, unconditionally.
Today we had Belgium waffles. They were de-lish-ous.My mouth starts watering just thinking about my moms cooking. We also had eggs sunny side up. I still had to go to school today.I didn't understand why though. My mom said it would be nice to say bye to my friends. Hah, friends yea right I don't have any there. My friends either moved last year or just don't talk to me. I don't stress to get their attention though.
School wasn't as bad as I though it would be. I kept a huge sappy smile on my face. Even when I got detention! I know what would I be doing in detention. I'm an Ideal student, every teachers pet. Lucy the kid in my math class didn't like the fact that I'm moving to LA. So she put ketchup in her hair and blamed me. I don't really care that she did that though, nothing and I mean nothing can ruin my day. As I ride my bike home I'm singing 'I'm walking on sunshine-the Aly & Aj version.
When I walked into my house my mom was sitting on the stair case. I notice she had a phone in her hand.I hope there is nothing wrong here. Maybe I'm just freaking out.Ya know jumping to conclusions, thats probably it. I hope. My mother and I just stare at each other for a while. It looked like she wasn't going to say anything.
"So mom what's wrong?" I said my voice shaking. To my surprise she just started laughing. At least there was nothing bad going on."Whats so funny?" I asked and then I took one more step. Suddenly I was soaking wet. I forgot Its prankster day. Prankster day is when adults get to pull pranks on what they call ' The Youngsters'. All I could do was laugh. Then skip comes out saying you've just been pranked, we gotcha. Just when Skip started laughing I fled the scene. His laughter sounded like a constipated donkey. Witch gives me a headache.
When I reached my room I closed my door. I could still hear Skips annoying laughter.Okay I agree it was funny but not that funny.Just then my door swings open. I'm searching for my face towel.
" They got to you too,huh?"
I swing around to see Josh standing there drenched.He looked like a drowned cat. I laugh at him and hand him my face towel. I now understand why the laughing went on longer.
"This is isn't funny abbi...Wait,I told Drake to come over do you think?" Josh said in a rush, but I caught it all.
"There's only 1 way to find out."
With that said we go downstairs. We see skip re-setting up the bucket. Josh and I decided it is really hot outside ,and Drake getting soaked would definitely cool him down. There are three quick raps on the door.No one went to answer the door so Drake comes in."Hello?" he says. Then his eyes see the water on the floor.I could tell by his face he knew it was a trap. He walks right into it any way.
"Why would he?" I said in a whisper then I went upstairs. I heard no laughter this time. What getting your own kids is funny, but when you get the neighbor?
I ran downstairs.It looked like he was playing my parents.Drake was fake coughing and sneezing?How do I know he's faking you ask? He winked at me then mouthed play along. So I go to him and say" What's wrong?"
He responds"I j-j-just f-f-found out that it is, Pranksters day."
I guess Josh was in on it too."Ma" Josh said "I think he has a cold."
My mom had real concern on her face.
"I'm so sorry Drake. Heres that towel." wow we are getting her good.Just when Drake was about to milk it, Josh started chanting 'we Gotcha!' I joined in then so did Drake.My mom was saying something but I couldn't hear her because of the chanting.The chanting got louder and louder, until some neighbors said shut up. This is going to be the fun memory of living in this house.
Since tomorrow was school and I wouldn't be attending I hung out with Drake all night. We made some stupid videos on my laptop. Then Drake helped me pack up all of the stuff in the room.Before we said our last goodbyes to each other, we exchanged our contact info.Josh gave Drake a webcam so that we could see each other often.
In the morning my family and I were headed of to LA. As we boarded the plane I took out my Ipod.This was a long flight and for some reason I only had 1 song on my Ipod.That song was Glitter puke.I know it sound weird but its a really good song.Plus its the only song I could listen to. S o I played that song till we reached LA. Witch the flight seemed like forever.
When I arrived at LAX. I couldn't believe it. The land of film and entertainment.I could kiss the floor right about now. A shrieking scream came out of no where. The sound made me jump a little. A girl that looked about my age was running toward me.It was Mac.I dropped my stuff and Mac and I meet each other Half way.
"Welcome to LA miss thang!" I could tell that Mac was supper excited." Ooh looks like you've already picked up the bubble eye trend."
"what?" Mac took my glasses and gave me square ones instead.
"Bubbles are a huge don't pool lenses are in!" Thank god for Mac and her fashion expertise. She told me all about the do's and don't of La. Man could matt talk! She talked all the way to her house. It felt like hours.
"And that was when I said like-
"Honey" Her mom cut her off thank the lord."Stop talking so much let your friend get settled in"
Settled in? I'm going to be living with Mac! Could this day be any better?
Mac took my bags and lead me to a bridge. Two houses connected. LA seems pretty cool. I don't mean the weather.I 't feels like some one set me on fire. Mac gives me a key. It looked like one of those old keys from A fairy tale.I open my door. Not sure what to expect I mean hello, I'm no longer in the busy Jungle. Or as some people called it the city of lights I am in LA. I can't really say what it's called because every one I know just calls it by the name.
When I open the door I see a huge room. There was nothing there just white paint on the wall. I guess this is how every house looks before you decorate it.I stayed in Macs room until my parents had the house painted. Every night was like a sleep over.
By the weekend the house was all fixed up. I moved into my room. I'm really glad I did. I loved sleeping at Macs place, but its nice to be in your own home ya know. I can't sleep in my...Awesome new room. I decide to write in my diary.
Dear Diary,
It's me! A lot has changed since the last time I wrote in you. Like I'm in LA. The biggest dream come true. It's really hard to sleep here. There are like no sounds. I know I sound crazy but I'm used to the Night Noise. Actually the night noise helped me go to sleep. I almost forgot I have to go to a new school. Justin says I'll be alright if I stick with her. Now that I'm in LA I will have more adventures. I just know it :). You'll be hearing more from me. It's almost midnight and I start school tomorrow.
Sweet Dreams.


Day Of New Starts

I wake up today, without an alarm clock. Well how you ask? It was like super hot today. Even more than yesterday. Now I know why people here wear mostly shorts and tanks. I look at the clock it's 4:30 in the morning. I jumped back into bed. Then my I hear some one at my door.
"It's Mac are you up?"
"Yes, come in." She tiptoed in. Then WHAM, she slammed the door!" Way to go Mac people are still sleeping"
"Every one should be up by now. I'm doing you an favor."
"Ha ha you're so funny. What did you want?"
"I'm here to help you pick out clothes. It's very important, you're the new kid you'll be judged. I want to make sure you get a ten. All across the board."
" They judge by style? You know I'm a tom boy!" Ugh LA is not really a difference from Ny except the climate.
"I'll make you sporty! Yea you'll look good in blue."
" Okay, if you say so." Mac and I played dress up for about 2 whole hours. I love Mac, but I hate being used as a barbie doll. This time she even did my hair. I actually looked good. I still don't like the color blue. When she is done getting me dressed she takes me to her room.
"Abbie, do you want cereal?"
"Umm, I don't care." I wasn't really hungry. What will this new school be like. The students, would they dislike me? It's first day of school. Well for me anyway. Is Josh going to my school? So many questions and make already answered most of them. Mac handed me pancakes. Pancakes?
" Where's the cereal?"
"IF you ate cereal, I'd have to eat cereal too. PLus It's your first day of school. You should be having like a buffi !" Mac always goes overboard! I still love her though." Lets get you a backpack. You can choose from my selection."
She towed me to one of her closets. I opened the door. She had like a million book bags. They're all color coded. Now that's something she picked up from me! I go to the baby blue section. She hands me a two strap bag.
" Um, Mac those went out of style like last month!"
" Oh, I know.I'm making them be in." I was confused. She told me how almost everyone tried to copy her. It gets annoying so this year she's
