Walking toward my street from my new school, I was looking at the town and at the same time, finding my way home. I had made three friends that day, a record for just arriving at a new school. Oh, by the way, my name is Dixalane Sesto. It’s a mix of Greek, Italian, Asian and Australian. I like to be called Dixie though. My parents, my cat Angus, and I travel the world doing animal television talk show. I love to visit all the new places and see how different the world really is. Right now we are in Northern California, near Lake Tahoe. Snow was on the ground everywhere. I have never seen snow before. I was born here on November 12, 1989. Lets see if this is, yes this is the house. Stepping inside, I felt Angus rub against my leg. Picking her up, I went in to the living room and began to say,
"Hi dad! How are y..."
"Shh!" mom scowled, "Dad is preparing for his speaking this afternoon. Oh and by the way, ...um... Tuesday we are leaving for Mexico!"
Thinking and remembering today was Monday, I had eight days to pack, why do it now? Going to sleep that night was tough because for some reason, I kept thinking about Darry, the cute guy in my class. The next day, Darry surprisingly, came up to me at lunch and asked,
"You know...that Holiday Dance is uh...coming and...."he stuttered.
"I would love to.!" I quickly answered.
This is sudden. Inside my head this ran, thinking also that this could not be true. I am dreaming. Drifting off to sleep, I dreamt that Darry and I would be King and Queen Holiday and then in later years get married. Waking up the next morning was strange, as it had felt as if days had just gone by.
"Hurry and get dressed, he'll be here soon!"my mom informed me.
"What time and day is it?" I dumbly asked.
"8:30 P.M. on Monday evening. Just a reminder, that at 11:00, we'll come and get you and be on our way to Me-he-co!" my mom answered.
No! I thought. Not now! Not when the first guy decides to like and active girl like me! I changed into my blue and white winter dress I got from Hong-Kong, and shoved the rest of my clothes into the two suitcases I owned. I put on light blue eye shadow and raced into the kitchen to grab a salami sandwich and a glass of lemonade. I slowed done to eat and drink, then ran into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and jammed everything else but my two inch white platform shoes and my blue jacket into the suitcases and zipped them close. I took the suitcases into the living room and waited. Finally I heard a knock and a "Hello?" I open the door and walked to his dad's car. His dad is very nice. We were shy to dance at first, but we got into the swing of things after just a short time. Soon, it became time to nominate the King and Queen Holidays. We were nominated several time and finally, over the intercom,
"The new King and Queen Holiday will be...."the announcer paused and he played a drum roll, "King Darry and Queen Dixie!"
I was so shocked, that I passed-out right there on the spot after getting the clothes we were supposed to wear. When I woke up, I was in our motor home on our way to Mexico already. I was still dressed in the Queens clothes, and mom suddenly sprang to my bed and said perkily,
"Don't you worry Queen Dixie, I gave King Darry our new address and we got his in return, so now you two can be pen pals and write to each other!"
I then realized that my dream of staying together wouldn't ever last.
