Chapter 1:Ella

The city lights twinkle like stars as I gazed out from my room window of my new house. It was a far cry from the small town I grew up in, where the only lights came from the stars and the occasional passing of cars. I felt excited but also nervous for starting a new life in the city, it meant new school, new people and new places. I didn't expect the city to be so huge, its like it never ends and just keeps on going, roads leading to different places, sounds of people chattering on the sidewalk, honks of the cars and musicians playing in the streets.

My mom and I moved here a week ago because she inherited the job as a CEO for Russo Incorporated, one of the most biggest companies that my grandpa owned before he died and soon after a few years, I will inherit the company and become the new CEO, this all felt surreal. The towering skyscrapers, the constant hum of traffic, the diversity of people rushing to and from places, it was different from the quietness of my hometown. But it was breath taking.

I just sat there watching everything unfold. The lights made everything look beautiful. This is New York, known for its lights and chaotic moments. It was calming in a weird way. I wondered if the noises ever stop.

I felt a pang of wonder as I took in the sight. As I gazed out at the city, I felt a sense of possibility. This is the new chapter of my life, full of unknowns and a new variety of different opportunities. I'm determined to make the most of it, I'm going to explore this city, find new hobbies and just be free.

I knew it was not going to be easy to adjust to the city, but for now, at this moment, I felt like I belonged here. The city might be overwhelming, but it was full of life, full of energy, and I was ready to be part of it, ready to open up to new people and especially to my new school. Ready to face my fears and become a whole new person.

Tomorrow I start my first day at Westwood High. I was nervous about fitting in and making new friends. First impressions are extremely important especially on the first day of high school. I already had my outfit planned, it was not fancy or too little, it was just plain. I stared out the window one last time, just enjoying the view. I stood up and quickly had a shower and changed into my pajamas. I placed all my teddy bears in one corner, just to keep things neat and tidy, I then scrolled through my socials and replied to every text from my old friends.I told them about how lovely the city was and that they are missing out. I turned off my phone and then the lights and went sleep.
