I am finally sixteen years old. My name is Alexie and I lived with my mother in a small town in Colorado until a tragic event occurred. Since I was eight years old, I have been bullied by the other girls in my school. My best friend, James, always manages to comfort me during the most difficult times for me. I've known him since my parents separated. Since that day, he has always been there for me. I fell in love with Brian the nicest guy in my school. I was in his chemistry class but I'm invisible to everyone. I am not like the others. I hate having attention on me. My mother died in a bicycle accident a few months ago. I was walking with my mom on a sidewalk and a cyclist rode straight at her. Since that day, I have a phobia of bicycles. I was living with James to finish my session but I have to move to my father who lives in Bologna,  Italy. I could finally rebuild my life and maybe find some brand new friends. I'm not very sure of the idea to live with my father. I didn't see him in the last five years. The reason why parent decide to divorce is because my father cheat on my mother and I'm not very ready to see him again. 
I am so anxious, my stomach is knot I'm not able to eat one bite of my lunch. When i finally got arrived to the airport of Colorado, I need to say my goodbyes to James and his family. I try to not cry but i can't. When I enter in the plane I feel my tears pouring down my cheeks. I take my place and put my music on and try to calm myself  for the next sixteen hours of road. I finally manage to calm down even if it's my first time to travel in a plane and also go in Italy. I decide to ask a hostess of the area an egg sandwich because i started to get hungry. I be able to eat the half. After 5 hours of trip, i start to be annoyed. I decide to search something to do in Bologna. I find an article who talk about several things to do there. I start to read it and make a to do liste of what i really want to see. I'm really impressed how many thing we can see there but i very want to visit the bologna tower, the Basilica Santuario Santo Stefano, the Palazzo D'Accursio, the Mercato di Mezzo, the Neptune's fountain, the Palazzo Poggi Museum, the Certosa di Bologna and the Bibliotheca Salaborsa. Of course I really want to try the Italian pizza and gelato when I would be there. I started to be very tired so I decide to sleep awhile. After a very long time i've finally got arrive. Every monument are the same colore except some of them. The view is simply beautiful. When the plan is landed, I quickly get out so I can finally stretch my legs. When i pass the custom I can go outside and feel the heat on my body. I see my father walk towards me. He seems very happy to see me again after several years of waiting.
