“Nooooooooooooo” Ella said with a look of horror on her face. I can’t believe we are MOVING to the countryside of Ireland! Why why why is my life like a movie? My mom Eva is grinning as big as the Cheshire Cat but it quickly faded into a frown when she heard what I said . I didn’t mean to be rude. Anyway here are some things you need to know about my family. All of my family have honey colored hair,brown eyes,pointed noses, and pixie freckles (Even my dad) only my mom and my sister Alice have auburn wavy hair,and green eyes. 

“Yay!” Said my sister Alice, her eyes shining with excitement. “I will be sad to let this house fall out of my grasp! Do you think that’s good enough for my book?” said Willow, doing a dramatic fall on our couch and vigorously scribbling in her note book. She likes writing. She is writing her own books. My family lives in a small brick house. There were not a lot of trees where we lived but in the countryside there will be a lot. On rainy days I love to bring my sisters to the town library but that’s all going to change. 

 Alice is 12 and she likes sports and doesn’t like to take care of kids or like them at all(she is extremely stubborn). Willow is 10. She likes writing and reading. She is very dramatic. Daisy is almost 6,she loves animals particularly horses she has riding lessons. I on the other hand like cooking,baking and house work like cleaning. I don’t really like house work but I help my mom with it anyway. My dad is a teacher in the local high school.

 “You see, our new house means you all have your own room and there’s a guest room.” Said Eva. Alice did a victory dance around the kitchen table. Willow grabbed  Daisy and started dancing. Suddenly Daisy stopped and ran over to our mom and started looking at the computer. “Mom will we be able to take the dogs with us or will the people who move into our house get to keep them?” said Daisy in a starelleed voice. “And can I keep my bed? I like it.” We all start laughing. “Of course you can keep your bed and the dogs will come with us!” Daisy looked relieved. 

I wonder why my parents want to move. Anyway I really really really don’t want to move. I bet my sister’s don’t think it’s a great idea. I hope so because then we can all convince my mom and my dad it’s a really bad idea. This is so annoying it’s giving me a headache Argggggggggg!

“I hope our house in the countryside will have a big backyard.” Said Alice. “I hope that i will have a big bedroom.” Said Willow “All I hope is that I don’t have to share it with you.” Alice murmured. “Hmh.i’m not that messy!” Said Willow crossing her arms. “Yes you are more than that messy.” Said Alice. She hated sharing a room with Willow. Willow was the messiest person on earth while Alice seemed to be the cleanest in Willow’s opinion. Alice hated when Willow’s stuff drifted over to her side. Willow didn’t know how Alice keeped stuff so clean and it was even bigger mysterious why she wanted to but when Willow pointed this out to Alice she didn’t listen (she was very stubborn).

 When Ella came in and flopped on Alice’s bed(Willows was covered with clothes) “This is so horrible.” She said.” “What is?” they asked. Ella looked at them like they were crazy. “Are you insane? Have you been listening to what goes on in this family? We are moving, yes moving I said.” She said. Willow and Alice looked at her in horror. Ella, the  responsibull older sister, was losing her mind. “Okay so before you lose your mind completely it will be fun in our new town, well sort of town because there are no houses next to us but you know what I mean.” Said Alice. Now it was Ella’s turn to look at them in horror. “Fun fun do you think I will have fun looking at me now?” Said Ella. “No not looking at you now.” Muttered Alice. Ella gave Alice her best big sister glare. Alice threw her hands up in protest.“Willow back me up here.” Said Alice. Then Alice thought of something “Oh have you checked on Daisy. No? Well you better” said Alice and shooed her out.

Ella went down the hall and opened her sisters room Daisy was playing with their dogs Sam and Sunny. Daisy was not sad about moving at all. I mean she loved her street but all the kids in her class didn’t like her; they teased her a lot. Daisy was a wonderful kid just odd. She always wore overalls or shorts and had a top with a daisy on it. She also had some tools in the pockets of her overalls. They were: bobby-pins,tweezers, a needle and thread, paint brushes, paint and scissors. NOT even her sisters knew why she had them.

 Daisy loved her room. Its walls were covered in daisy’s , a bed with daisies on it , a closet, LED lights that she could control the color of and a hanging chair. When her sister knocked on Daisy’s door she let her in right away and she knew exactly why she was there because right before Ella went into Willows and Alice’s room she hid in there to see what she was talking about and she was prepared to answer the question.

 “Hi Daisy.” Said her sister and sat on her bed. “ I know what you’re going to ask me.” Daisy said. “You do? Well let’s hear it.” “You’re going to ask me if I want to move or not.” Blurted Daisy looking at her feet feeling ashamed that she had spied on her sister’s. “No, actually I was going to ask you something else.” Said Ella. Daisy looked up at her in surprise. “Well could you like um spy on mom and dad.” Said Ella fitcheting with her fingers while she says it. “Of course.” I proudly and Ella walks off my room but stops at the door. “Thank you.” She says and then walks away. 

I grab my binoculars and go to my mom and dad’s study. I hide behind the couch waiting for my mom or dad to come in with information. And sure enough my mom comes in with the laundry and my dad sits at his desk and looks at the paperwork on it. “I wish we moved sooner.” Said my dad. “Why?” Questions my mom. Bla bla bla thought Daisy oh, they said something interesting. “Well your new job as a farmer will be tough but you’ll get through it.” New job what the as a farmer what they all knew there dad liked farming his dad was a farmer but having that as his job. Daisy had to tell Ella right away

Everything was in boxes, they were getting ready to move. Alice never thought she would be sad to see this house go. She was really excited but also kind of sad but she was not with a capital n Nervous she was never scared. She knew she would love the new house, a big backyard and her own bed room. She had asked her mom the night before if she could have light blue walls in her new room. her mom said yes! But looking at all the empty walls was sad.

 “Hi.” Said a voice. “Ahhhhh.” Srekied Alice. “You scared me willow.” She grunted and being scared made her cranky. “Isn’t it sad to see blank walls.” Said willow. “No it is not.” Said Alice. Willow knew that Alice was sad; she also knew Alice would never admit it. “Go away. Check our room to see if we packed everything.” Said Alice. She was sad but she was also really excited to see her new room. She tried to Seattle on a box but nothing was in it so it caved in. Alice leaped off the box like it was on fire. She herded a giggle and then footsteps. Rats Willow didn’t leave yet Alice had hoped know one had seen her on the box. 

“Alice Alice honey.” Eva was calling her she must have dozed off. “Coming mom.” Replied Alice. Alice ran through the house what was left of it anyway everything was in boxes. She saw her mom and followed her mom out of the house. Eva was softly going over everything they needed. “My purse. Check. Daisy. Not check. Where is that girl.” Said Eva and quickly when’s back into the house returning a minute later with Daisy. “Get into the car honey.” Said Eva.

 A couple of minutes later they were all in the car. Willow was shouting directions up to the front seat. “Turn left when you get to the thing that looks like a rock.” Said willow. “Shhhhhhhh.” Shushed Alice. Ella was just sitting there silently. Finally they got there. “Whoa this is amazing.” Willow drooled. Alice ran into the house. “I call this room.” Muffed Alice. “Hey.” Shouted Daisy and Willow. And they ran into the house eager to call their room. Ella helped her mom bring in boxes.

A few minutes later Ella was in her new room. It was way bigger than she was used to. She started to unpack when her mom stuck her head in  her room. “would you mind taking your sisters out for a walk they are in my way.

“Hey he looks nice.” Said Willow. Alice put her head in her hands. Every time they came across somebody Willow would say “they look nice.” When they got back to their house they had to eat on a box because their table was not unpacked.

It was now the first day of school and Ella had already found herself a best friend. She had walked onto the bus to scan it for an empty seat.vA girl with blond hair nodded to the seat next to her. Ella sat down relieved . “ hi I’m Bree.” The girl said. “I’m Ella.” I replied. She was looking at her phone. “What are you looking at?” I asked. “Oh well I’m in a prank war with my brother. I have three of them. I was looking at my list of pranks.” She said. “Cool. I have three sisters.” I say. For the rest of the bus ride we talked about our brothers and sisters.   

Bla bla bla. Though Alice, her homeroom teacher Mrs. Kallywather was so boring. Alice was sitting next to a boy who had sandy brown hair and bright blue eyes, he looked as. Bored as her. Just then her teacher started talking about something extra boring and she dozed off. The next thing she heard was someone whispering “get get up”. Was the boy next to her. Alice quickly got her head off her desk just in time to hear the best sound ever made. RINGGGGGGGG the end of the school day bell. Alice ran onto the school bus and took a seat next to her sister.

Ella, Alice and Willow ran into their house all telling their mom what they did that day. “Calm down, calm down.” Said Eva . “Guess what mom I just made friends with a girl named Bree on the very first day of school.” Said Ella. “That is so cool.” Said Eva. “I fell asleep in class because my teacher was being really boring.”exclaimed Alice. “Arrrrrr.” Groaned Eva. “You’re not supposed to fall asleep in class.” Scolded Eva. “I know but she was being boring.” Wined Alice. She and Willow climbed the stories to their bed rooms.

The weekend came and all their friends were coming for a barbecue. Bree’s brothers and her parents, two of Willows friends, and Daisy’s best friend Mildred were all coming. Ella and her sisters were all setting up their big backyard with two tables. “This table is so puff heavy.” Puffed Alice. “Ya it is.” Replied Willow. They settled the table and collapsed on the grass. “You know there’s another one to bring out.” Daisy exclaimed happily. Alice and Willow groaned. “There here.” Shouted Daisy.

“ guess what my dad let me do.” Daisy Squealed. “What?” Asked Mildred. “ he let me feed the pigs.” “No way.” Alice and Bree’s brother were playing cards. “Yes ha ha i bet you i bet you.” Danced Alice. “Darn it.” Said Bree’s oldest brother Conner. All the other boys were laughing their heads off. “You lost to a girl who is like 6 years younger than you.” Said on off the brother’s. Willow and her friends were standing over the grill ready to shout “ the food’s ready. Ella and Bree  were going over their homework. Bree was changing a lot of her answers because she spent a lot less time doing her homework. Ella wanted her homework to be perfect because she was the kid.

“The food is ready” shouted Willow and her friends. Voices filled the backyard everybody was pushing and shoving to get food. Eventually everybody got their food and was eating. “Oaky foods over get on the trampoline.” Shouted Alice. “Oh brother.” Moaned Ella. Everybody tramped on to the trampoline. “Ow” “get of me get of me” everybody was screaming. “I bet i can do a flip.” Said one of Bree’s brothers. He tried but he just did a cartwheel. “TWEET.” A whistle blew. “ move it and let me show you how it’s done. Everybody streamed out eager to see who could do a flip. Bree was the last one in. She jumped and flipped and landed perfectly. Everyone jumped back in. Ella knew where she belonged not in her old town but in her new town on a trampoline with a bunch of kids all kicking and screaming.
