Andrews insisted that I called her Jasmine from now on since we’ll be working together on a daily basis. Jasmine and Stanley arranged for us to travel first class from London to here. Everything was so glamorous and luxurious. My seat moved backwards and forwards and I had my own TV and my own little fridge beside me. I honestly felt like royalty, I must have taken a thousand photos throughout the flight. My favourite photo was the one the flight assistant took of Jasmine, Stanley and I, holding champagne glasses. I sent the photo to Mum once we landed so she knew we were doing well. I had to leave two days before Madeline’s eighth birthday. I hate having to miss it. I wrote her a letter during the flight since it would be eight hours before we landed. I thought she’d appreciate it more coming from the USA. Also, if I sent a text it could be deleted or forgotten within a day. Letters can be kept and reread over time, as long as they’re not burnt.
Madeline,
Happy birthday Sis. I ’ m so sorry I can ’ t be there to celebrate with you. You won ’ t be disappointed when you ’ re joining me on the red carpet and meeting all the hot male celebs! I can ’ t believe you ’ re 8 now, you ’ re making me feel old! I didn ’ t buy you a present at home because you already have everything you little spoilt thing! So I ’ m going to get you something over here and post it back to you soon. I know Mum and Dad can be frustrating but be patient with them, chick. It won ’ t be long until you ’ re heading out here to visit me! Once you ’ ve finished the next couple of weeks of school, we ’ ll arrange for you all to come visit. Take care Madeline, look after Ethan for me please. I know he will be missing me (even though he won ’ t admit it.) I ’ m sure he ’ ll visit you at some point and wish you Happy Birthday.
All my love, August.

I haven’t been introduced to anyone yet. I was told to settle into my accommodation last night, and I would be introduced to everyone today. My hotel suite is like something you would see out of movie! I have two floors! Downstairs I have a kitchen and living room. Upstairs I have my bedroom. Everything is so beautiful and modern. There’s a window in my bedroom, but I’m too small to reach it. So I don’t have much of a view, but that doesn’t bother me. My favourite piece of furniture is the chair hanging from a wire on the ceiling. It’s almost like a floating birds nest. I have to hop into it since I’m quite small, but once you’re inside you feel like an astronaut. It’s perfect for taking naps in or watching TV. It still isn’t home, so I’ve fetched a couple of family photo frames from home and also Ethan’s clock. There isn’t a clock upstairs or beside my bed so it’s helpful that I fetched it. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are brought to my room by butlers, so I don’t have to cook! For breakfast they fetch up various cereals and fruits for me to choose from. While I’m having breakfast they leave you a little card to tick for your choice of lunch and dinner. Half of the things on the card don’t make much sense. It just needs to say pizza or spaghetti . Not leek and watercress, served with caviar and spinach. I made that up, but the menu is very similar to that. This must be costing whoever pays for all this a fortune to provide if I will be staying here for two months. I’m extremely anxious to meet everyone. I hope they like me. This won’t be fun if no one likes me or we don’t get along. I’m determined to make the right impression with everyone though.
At around 11:30am, Jasmine was at my door to escort me down to meet everyone.
“Nervous?” She asked.
“A little,” I replied, tying up my hair.
“Don’t be. They’ll love you.”
We took the stairs down so it gave me time to compose myself and prepare myself for meeting everyone. We stopped at a lounge door.
“How many people are in there?” I asked.
She winced.
