University Of London (BEING EDITED)

Madeline’s P.O.V
Today is the day I’m moving to England. I’m going because I’m going to be attending the University of London. I can’t believe I actually got a place there. I’m studying Fashion. It’s always been my dream to study fashion and here I am! I’ve already shipped most of my stuff over I just have a suitcase and a carry-on bag to take with me. My mum, dad and my two sisters Brooke and Faye are dropping me off at the airport. I’m the oldest child in my house, I’m 21 years old, Brooke is 15 and Faye is 7. Out of all of them, I’m going to miss Faye the most. She’s my little sister and she relies on me. I know Brooke can take my place but I’m going to struggle not seeing her. She means the world to me.
Now, I’m not the poorest person in the world so I can afford amazing things but I’m not the richest either. I put on my black bralet and some high waisted shorts with my high heeled trainers. I put a red jacket in my handbag. It’s hot here in California but I know it’s not going to be in London. I know, I’m crazy to be moving from Cali to London but I’ve always wanted to go to the University of London! As an added bonus, my best friend Annabel lives in London and I’ve got my own place in the same apartment block as her. She moved there a few years ago because her parents wanted to get away from Cali, they had bad experiences here and couldn’t stay anymore. She’s the same age as me so she’s just gotten her own place too. She keeps telling me about this band called ‘One Direction’. I hate bands. They all think they’re absolutely amazing but I’ve never really liked any bands. One Direction are a British boyband that were formed on the UK’s X-Factor. The singers I like are Demi Lovato and Pixie Lott. I love solo artists and can’t stand bands! I don’t know why I’m like that, I just am I guess.
“Maddie! It’s time to go hun” My mum shouted up the stairs interrupting my thoughts.
“Okay! I’m on my way.” I shouted back. It’s time to leave. I grabbed my bag, paused to look at my empty bedroom and ran down the stairs. Everyone was already down there and Faye was crying. I went over to her and held her hand as we walked out of the door. When we reached the airport we said our goodbyes and had to prize Faye off of me so I could go. “I love you Faye, I’ll be back soon baby I promise” I reassured my little sister. She was so upset. I walked off towards my gate. I’m going to be waiting for about half an hour.
To: Belle
I’m at the airport in Cali. See you soon!:)x
I know she won’t reply so I went on Twitter and scrolled through the tweets.
‘My best friend is coming to London today, can’t wait!’ I saw Annabel’s tweet. Awh.
‘The plane is now boarding’ a women said over the loudspeaker. It’s time to go.

When I got into the airport there were loads of screaming girls. They’re probably waiting for a band, no solo artist would ever get this. I went to get my suitcase and called Belle. She was waiting for me outside. I spotted the exit and walked towards it. When I got outside it was freezing and dark. I took my jacket out of my bag, put it on and continued to look for Belle. When I finally found her she was in a purple Range Rover.
“Care to explain the car?” I asked climbing in.
“I’ve got money, I spent it.” I laughed at her bold response. She drove back to our apartment block.
“So, what’s it like in London?” I asked her.
“You know, cold, English and so pretty!” She was still the same person. She’s got long red hair which she had tied in a ponytail and really tanned skin. I guess she’s never lost her tan since she left LA. I’m pretty tanned too but that’s what you get living in the US. When we reached the apartments I grabbed my bags out of the back of her car and she showed me to my apartment. I unlocked the door and was amazed at what I saw. There are still loads of boxes to unpack and stuff but it’s beautiful! I have a living room with an archway leading into the spacious kitchen and then there is a corridor leading to the bedrooms. I have 3 bedrooms in my apartment so when people stay over they don’t have to sleep on the couch or on the floor. I started to unpack my clothes into my walk-in wardrobe. I was so lucky to have this apartment!
“So, about this band you like…” I said to Belle.
“Yeah, they’re our age and they’re so hot!” She told me. She must really like them and I hope she doesn’t think she’s getting me to like them. They’re a boyband; it’s never going to happen! Belle left to go home after we’d caught up a bit as it’s getting pretty late. I’m not on UK time so it doesn’t really matter to me, I’m still wide awake. I finished unpacking my clothes and went into the kitchen. My mum and dad have done an online shop for me and Belle collected it and put it away. I made some pancakes and looked for the syrup. After I’d eaten my pancakes, I decided to check if my Wi-Fi was set up. I took my laptop out of my suitcase and placed it on the breakfast bar. I turned it on and typed in my password. It loaded and automatically connected to the Wi-Fi. It works! I sat on my laptop for a while until I started to get tired. I put my purple bed sheets on my bed, put my pjs on, tied my hair in a messy bun and got into bed.
