CHAPTER ONE

leaving life as you know it behind

- I can't believe you're doing this to me! - said Jane sitting down in the back seat of her Dad's old car.

- We don't have any other choice, honey. - said her Mom, Yvette. Yvette was a simple woman. She always tried her best to be a good mother and she never yelled.

Unfortunetly, her daughter Jane wasn't an angel.

For the third time in her life Jane was moving houses.

She was born in Aachen, Germany where her parents met.

Thats where she spent the first year of her life before moving to Serbia. She spent her whole life there, studying in a huge school. She had a best friend, Emily. They were best friends since they first met. Leaving her was the worst thing that ever happened to Jane. On the day of the move Jane woke up with her arms wrapped around Bloopie. Bloopie was a pink unicorn plushie Emily had since she was an infant. It was her favorite thing for years, what was it doing in Jane's arms?

Jane's dad walked into the room. His name was Alexander.

He was born in Aachen, just like Jane.

- Goodmorning, princess. - he said.

Jane didn't answer.

- She told me to give it to you so you wouldn't forget her. 

Jane was touched by the gift.

Emily had to visit her sister in Ottawa on the exact day Jane and her parents were moving. Emily's sister was twenty years old, studying in the capital of Canada. This was Emily's first visit since her sister Sophie moved away.

Emily's mother was not changing the date - ever.

But Jane decided to focuse on whats good.
