Chapter 1 - Zoë

It was almost time. In a couple of hours, I was going to be in IRELAND!! A lot of people never understood my urge to go there, especially because I live in London. Well, let me tell you this. First of all, I love nature, and there’s not much of that in London. And second of all, London isn’t that fantastic at all. It may be fun for the tourist, but when you’ve been there a couple of times, or live there, it gets boring. For example, I’ve been in the London Eye for about, let’s say, 7 times now? At night, day, summer, winter, autumn, spring, New Year’s, count it out. And eventually it bored me. Just another half hour and 60 pounds wasted.
But anyways, I was going to Ireland! The girl I was going to stay with, Lli, is very nice, I’ve Skyped with her a couple of times. She has a brother, who is not ugly. I get to stay with her a month and after that, she stays with me a month.
I was just about to go to Daisy, my best friend, when my little sister called me. “Zoë!!!!!!!!!!” “WHAT?!” She came pounding up the stairs, and suddenly hugged me. “I don’t want you to goohoooo” she said, almost crying. “But I’m not going far, and I’m away for only a month! And there’s Skype, Twitter, we can phone… You won’t even notice I’m gone!” She nodded and smiled weirdly while a tear streamed in her mouth. I left and blew her a kiss.
When I was at Daisies, nobody was there. I thought we were going to be meeting here, but apparently I was mistaken. When I was about to walk away, I heard a whisper. I turned around, and suddenly everybody was there. Not only Daisy and Claire, but also Sara, Sam(antha), Janice, Tom, Andy and Josh. They all yelled “SURPRISE!!!” and Daisy came running to me. She came in for a hug, but knocked me over, and we both fell on the grass. After 2 minutes we finished laughing, and we came up. The little party place they made looked beautiful. There was a goodbye sign, and all the stupid things I’ve ever said were on it. “But I mean, if someone said that you were dead, wouldn’t you’ve already noticed?” There was a table with all my favorite candy and food, and they even went up to the little restaurant in the North of the city, ‘cause it was my favorite to get some spaghetti. I almost had to cry, just because I’ll have to miss these awesome people for a month. They came in for a group hug, and after, we sat down and ate and laughed and had a great time. After 3 hours, I had to go away. I grabbed my suitcases, and went to the taxi-place. Daisy and I had to cry, but we had a settled time, and every night on that time, we would Skype. After I stepped in the cab, and said my destination "Gatwick." I took my phone and put on some music. I had a playlist, with my favorite songs. A several from He is We, and a lot from Taylor Swift. There also were a couple of Christina Perri on. I wasn’t really a fan of all the ‘cool’ people, lika all the others. I was, in music, a little bit an misfit. Except from Taylor, but how can you not like that girl? I mean, she is awesome. We arrived at the airport, and I gave the driver his money. I went through the check-in, and waited for the boarding. Lili would pick me up if the plane arrived, and the next day I would go to her school. It was all going fast, they even already got me a uniform.
