I moved here since I absolutely hated my old school, and my brother was going into the big bad world of secondary school. He's a nerd too. He would hate it there too, so my parents decided to move away from it all and start fresh. Erica was the only one of us who seemed genuinely bothered by moving. My parents were pretty happy since Dad's best friend lives in town too, and my Mum had always wanted to live out here.
Erica has a thing for winding me up. She just looooves bursting into my bedroom with an annoying announcement that she's claiming my bed as her kingdom or that if I don't get out she'll feed me to the sharks that dont exist. I just try to ignore her, but its almost impossible to ignore a 10-yearold who's screaming in your ears. Danny doesn't get any of this bother, I have no idea why. Erica seems to prefer getting on my nerves. Maybe it's just because Danny is younger than me, only 2 years older than her. Danny and I often team up and kick her out of both our rooms, or join forces and play on the PS3 in my room, and lock her in Daniel's. Usually works.
Anyway, School starts in a few months, I'm not exactly worried that I'm going to get bullied, but I know it's inevitable. There are always bullies. I have a good feeling about this place though, I'm sure there are plenty of like-minded boys and girls, just waiting to make a new friend, and defy the bullies' wishes.
