I Belong to Him

"New" that's what comes in my mind when I think about my life at this exact moment. My name is Emma Donnelly and I am sixteen years old, I have a sister named Anna and she is twenty-three years old and she studies Civil Engineering in Serres, a small town in Greece I really miss her because we are very close but I am happy for her. I used to live in Larissa but  I've just moved from Larissa to Thessaloniki, it's a big change for me and I wish I could go back to Larissa but that's not an option. You see my parents got offered a job in Thessaloniki and couldn't decline because our finances are tight at the moment and I understand that so I try to be positive, after all, back in Larissa I didn't have any friends and here I have Madeleine and that something. Oh Madeleine is my best friend well, to be honest, she is my only friend she is sixteen years old as well and we've known each other since we were both seven years old, I met her when I visited my aunt and cousins 9 years ago and stayed there for the summer. I met her one day when I went to a park and since then we kept contact.  "Honey we are here" my mum said to me smiling. I didn't even realize we arrived, I was probably lost in my own thoughts, that happens to me, a lot. Well, I guess this is it I told myself and I got out of the car and what I saw shooked me, my mum told me we bought a house but I didn't expect something like this. It was huge and very luxurious and then I wondered how did we even afford this. "Mum this place is huge how did we even afford it" I asked worried   she looked at me frowned " Don't you like it, Emma?" "No I love it and I haven't seen the inside yet, I am just a bit concerned" I admitted to her  " Don't worry your father's boss got it for us in a very good deal so we could afford it, now let's go inside I am sure you will love it" my mum said excited and I nodded.  The moment I entered and saw the inside of the house I fell in love with it. It was modern and really beautiful, almost every room had more than one window. On the ground floor, we had our living room and the furniture's colors were gray in the center was a huge TV and a fireplace, there was a balcony with many plants and a barbeque. Next to the living room was the kitchen which had similar colors to the living room both of which had some wooden detail. Near the living room, there was a dining room that had wooden details. On the first floor, we had another living room which would be used for movie nights, we had two bathrooms on this floor and three bedrooms, my parents would be the one and the other two would be guests' bedrooms. And on the last floor was my room, my bathroom,  a study room which I soon found out that it was mine, and a library. My room was cream-colored and most of the furniture was white. And then I noticed another door, I soon found out I had a walk-in closet. Then I went upstairs to the rooftop and I saw that we had a small jacuzzi and many plants and some garden furniture. This was all too much for me because our old house was very small and when my sister lived with us we used to share a bedroom. I started to run to my parents and saw my dad, I immediately jumped to hug him.  " Did you like the house princess?" my dad asked my while laughing  I then nodded rapidly and my dad laughed " Daddy it's amazing I love it thank you for everything" I told him and meant every word I said, I know they always try their best to provide me everything I need I just wish they were around more and weren't so strict but we can't always get what we want. At that exact moment, mum entered the room and said "Well you two are talking but what you should be doing is unpacking, Emma put your clothes in your closet and all your staff" and then she turned to face my dad "George would you be kind enough to help unpack well EVERYTHING" she said upset and I laughed, my dad answered quickly "I am coming right now, Christina" and they both exited the room leaving me alone and deep in my thoughts. Soon I remembered what my mum told me and went to my room to unpack, after all, tomorrow is my first day at my school and I am grateful for not coming at the middle of the year, that would be really difficult, at least, now there will probably be more new kids, right?  I started unpacking and it didn't take me much time considering the fact that I don't have many things. All my staff fitted in a suitcase. I don't own many clothes, shoes, and accessories and I don't have any makeup so unpacking was really easy for me and while doing it I talked to Anna, my sister about the house and about how anxious and excited at the same time feel, she really made me feel better and when mum called me for dinner I stopped talking to her. "So honey are you excited for tomorrow?" my mum asked me at the dining table. I was really scared and worried about tomorrow but I didn't tell them that "Yes, I actually am" I told them and then my father added "well that's the spirit! And don't forget to get as many classes as you can and talk to your professors and ask them what you have to do to get extra credit" of course we would end up talking about my grades and it's not that I am not a good student, at my previous school I was a straight-A's student and I rarely had B's but that's not enough for them. "Yes, fine I will do that" I said frustrated and then added "now excuse me but I am going to my room to talk to Madeleine" I got up and then my mum said "Emma I've told you many times I don't like this girl, she is a bad influence for you! The only thing that concerns her is boys and how she looks. She should care more about her grades and her future" she said to me "well she is my friend and sorry for not wanting to spend her time closed in a room studying" I yelled at her "Young lady lower the tone of your voice, and we both know that the only reason you hang out with her is to make upset" she said, "actually mum no I am hanging out with her because she is my only friend and even though we didn't live near she still hang out with me and helped me no matter what!" I said and left the dining room crying. After a few minutes, I managed to stop myself from crying and then called Madeleine and explained to her how I felt and everything that had happened. "Came on honey they just want the best for you and they don't understand that they are pressuring and making you feel bad" she said in a sweet tone. "I know that Mad but I am just sick of this, they treat me like a seven-year-old kid, anyways, let's talk about tomorrow what are your plans?" I said while trying to change the subject. "Well, I will come at your home to show the way to school because if I don't we both know you will be lost" she said while laughing " that might be true" I responded, "Oh and Em?" "Yes" I responded unsure "Could we pleaseee go shopping after??" she asked me "well I am not sure about that Mad" I responded uncertain and then added "I am not sure if we can afford it and you know shopping isn't really my thing" I finally said " Okey I don't want to pressure you but there will be a party tomorrow night to celebrate the start of the new school year, and no offense honey but the only clothes you own are sweatpants and hoodies" she said and that wasn't an entirely lie "Well that's a lie I own 1 pair of jeans" I said and we both started laughing and then I just realized what was happening "Madeleine Willow Daniel no way I am going to a party" "Oh come on Em you have never been in a party it will be fun" she said "Yes exactly I have never gone to a party because I don't fit there" and then added " look Madeleine I love you and i am thankfull for always being there for me but look at you you are beautiful and popular and i am just me" I tryed to reason with her and i wasn't lying  Madeleine has the perfect body and the features of her face are unique. She is 1.67m or 5.48 ft, she is 47 kg or 103 lb, she is thin but has curves. Her breast is big and her strong feature. She is light pale and has black straight hair, her eyes are black and she has big round pink lips she has a piercing in her nose and 3 more in her ears. She is beautiful confident and social and all the boys like her and trust when I say that I don't look like her!  I, on the other hand, am 1.64 or 5.38 ft and 61 kg or 134 lb I have curves as well, my breast and butt are the way they supposed to be at least that's what Mad says because if you ask me I will tell you I am just fat. My skin isn't as pale as Mad's but is a bit a have brown eyes and I have brown long hair my lips are big and really pretty. I am not saying I am not beautiful because I don't believe that. I think my face is really beautiful and many people agree with that, the problem is my body which is definitely not beautiful. Boys don't even notice me probably because I only wear sweatpants and I am really shy, the only reason boys talk to me is to make fun of me or to ask me the answers of a test.  Then Madeleine interrupted my thoughts "Stop saying bullshit you are beautiful inside and out and my best friend no matter what okay?" she said "okay..." I answered and was thankful for having her "Oh and no way you are getting out of this you are coming at the party with me tomorrow and we are going shopping you need a change in your garderobe and I mean you need a huge makeover" and then she added " and if you can't afford it then I am going to pay everything and you will give the money when you can, and now you have zero excuses" she said and was right as always " fine we will go shopping but what will my parents say when I tell them I want to go to a party? its the first time I will ever do something like this" I pointed out "you are right" she said "well the party will take place at my brother's best friend house and after you can come to sleepover to my place and stay all the weekend with me" she said excited "it's not a bad idea but when will we study? you know how my parents are" I said " you will bring everything at my place tomorrow before the party, after all, we will get ready at my place" " that's not a bad idea I kinda like it" I told her "she that's the spirit she said excited "but we have to study okay?" I said "Don't worry Emma we will study after all I want to have good grades this year" she said " that would make my mum very happy" I said and we both started laughing and talking about how the new school year would be after we decided it's time to hung up because it's late and we had school tomorrow. The only thing that I had on my mind before going to sleep is how will I tell my parents I want to go to a party? and with that thought, I fell asleep.
