Chapter 2: The house

The inside of the house was just as incredible as the outside, sure everything was covered with dust and was in the need for a thorough wash. 

    "So, since it's only us two living here and there is about 9 bedrooms you get to chose which one you want." My mum said when we got inside the front door. "Most of them are on the second floor, but there are three on the third." I look at her with shock in my eyes, i just can't believe it. Firstly, there is 9 bedrooms, why would we ever need 9 bedrooms, and secondly, i get to choose which bedroom i want. 

    "Are you serious now mom?" She barely has time to nod her head before i go running towards the stairs. 

When i reach the third floor i run to the end of the korridor and open the door. It's so big! There is a king size bed in the middle of the room. There is also two other doors inside the bedroom. I go too one of them and find a huge walk in closet, then i walk over to the other door and find the most luxurious bathroom. It has both a large shower and bathtub. This is where I'm going to live. 

The moment i emerge from the bathroom my mom walks through the door. 

    "This is a really good choice, i have to admit. Just right for my almost 18 year old girl" I laugh a little. "I just wanted to say that i will be staying down the hall and that I'm going to make a run to the shop and buy us some food for dinner. If you don't mind there is a lot of cleaning and unpacking to do, so could you get started on that?" 

    "Sure thing mom!" She just nods her head and leave the room. Well, there no time as the present, i just have to sart cleaning. The first thing i do is clean my own room and move all my boxes up. To say there is a lot of dust would be an understatement. Two hours later my mom is still not home. I go down to the kitchen and start cleaning out of every kitchen cabinet. It's been three hours before my mom comes back.

    "What took you so long?" I ask as she is putting the groceries away. 

    "I just met some old friends and lost track of time, how far along with the cleaning are you" she askes.

    "I've cleaned my room, moved all my boxes up, and are about done with all the cabinets here in the kitchen." she nodes her head and thinks for a minute. 

    "This house is really big, if we are going to clean the whole thing, empty all the boxes, and get the house ready, it's going to take us at least one to two weeks. And i'm really not exited about cleaning for a whole week. How about you finish your room, i will make some phone calls to get a cleaning crew in and clean the house and then i make us some 'homemade' lasagna? How does that sound?" I can't help the smile that spreads across my face.

    "I think that's a great idea! I'm not that exited about cleaning for a whole week me neither."

    "Then it's settled. Go unpack!" 

I run up stairs and start unpacking. First i orginise all my clothes, the all my way to many books, then the bathroom. About two hours later i'm almost done and my mom is calling me down for dinner. When i get down stairs the lasagna is already on the table. 

    "I talked with the cleaning crew and they will be here first thing tomorrow and start cleaning. So after dinner take your time exploring. I know for a fact that there is a small gym downstairs, as well as a home theater."

    "That's really cool mom! i will check it out."

One week has passed. The cleaning crew only used three days to clean the whole house, and mom and I used three days to get everything in the right place. There is a huge gym with an indoors pool, and there was even a home theater in the basement. On the main floor we have two living rooms, a dining room, two bathrooms and a kitchen, and on the second and third floor there was together 9 bedrooms with attached bathroom, three studies and one library. 

It's been a week and it's my birthday today! I stand in front of the mirror in my amazing new room. All my books is sorted to perfection, of course after color! Suddenly my mom is knocking on the door.

    "Hey sweetie! Happy birthday!" I turn around and see my mom standing there with a present. "I have a gift for you, since you start school in a week this will help you. And as a second gift we are going to have a shopping spree!"

    "What? are you serious! Thank you mom!" She hands me the gift and i open it, inside there is a new laptop! "Mom, are you serious? this is amazing! Thank you so much!" i run over to her and give her a big hug! "Thank you!"

    "Get dressed Julia! We are leaving in an hour!"

    "I'm almost done, just have to eat a bit and then we can leave!"

    "Good! This is going to be a lot of fun!"
