Val's pov
I was looking outside the jet through the oval window, lost in thoughts.
"Earth to Val," I heard Uncle Reece exclaim.
"Oops, sorry, looks like I spaced out again," I sheepishly said.
"Mind sharing what's on that little mind of yours?" He said
"I was just wondering if I did the right thing by writing a letter to my friend instead of just seeing him," I said. I think a letter was a stupid idea but... *sigh* I don't know.
"Come here," Uncle Reece said, patting his lap.
I went over to him and sat on his lap. I wonder why both of my uncles along with my dad like treating me as if I'm a kid, though it's not that bad.
"Now listen to me, don't think about negative things, yeah? Just be happy, we are going to America, and if I'm right it will be your first time going there, right?" He asked, and I nodded.
"Superb now all you have to do is to think about all the fun things you will do when you get there, maybe you may help with my music, I mean you play instruments and sing very well so you will be helpful".
"You mean I can play instruments and sing with you?" I happily asked.
"Of course that is, if you don't mind."
"Oh my god, uncle, you're awesome," I said, smiling and kissing his cheeks excitedly , and he laughed.
"I don't want to ever see you sad, so always keep that smile, yeah?" he said, and I nodded.

"PUT YOUR SEAT BLELT ON, WE ARE ABOUT TO LAND," a voice was heard from the speakers.
Uncle helped me put on my seat belt before putting his.
After the jet landed, we got out, and my uncle's bodyguards carried my luggage to one of the cars that lined up near the jet.
We went into the car that was in the middle with the help of the bodyguard, of course, and set off to what I think is my uncle's place.
I looked out the window in awe because of the beautiful places we passed.
"Close your mouth or a fly will get in it, plus you haven't seen the most beautiful places yet," Uncle chuckled
"Anyways, welcome to New York City, sweetheart," he said.
"New York City? Oh my god, we are in NYC, " I excitedly said.
"Eso es magnÃfico, hay tantos lugares que me encantarÃa visitar." I shouted happily, not noticing that I was speaking a different language.
T: That is magnificent, there are so many places I would love to visit
"Eh Val, what did you say? and what language were you using? cause I'm sure it's not Italiano
"Oh, I just got carried away, and you're right it's not Italiano rather it's Spanish and I said that there are so many places I would lovto visit" I sheepishly looked at uncle. I forgot that he's not like my dad, who knows how to speak many languages.
"Oh, don't worry, you will surely see all the beautiful places in NYC even in other cities," he said, looking at me amused.
"You're the best uncle ever, no, you and Uncle Marc are the best uncles ever," I said.
"I'm the first best uncle, though," I heard him mumble to himself.
After hours of driving, we arrived at the huge gate, which opened upon our arrival.
The driver drove to the parking lot. When the car stopped, the bodyguard opened the door for us, and we got out.
In front of us,stood a mansion, it was too beautiful.
"I know my mansion doesn't even stand a chance against your father's, so I don't know if you'll like it."
"It's beautiful, uncle, and I love it"
We went inside the house, and oh my god, the interior was fantastic.
"Come on, let me show you to your room, so that you take rest first" he said and I followed him as he walked upstairs.
"This is your room, my maids already decorated it, I hope you'll like it' he said once we reached the closed door of what I assumed was my room.
"And Val, between going to school and being home-schooled along with my friend's child, what will you choose?"
"Is the child my age?"
"Yeah only a year older though, and it's a girl her name is Everly Hart"
"Okay, I choose home-schooling then" I said. Maybe me and her could become best friends.
"I will call them over for dinner, so that you guys get to know each other before you start to join her" he said and I nodded.
"If you need anything or if you're bored, come to me, or tell one of my maids or bodyguards, okay?" he said.
"Of course uncle, stop worrying, I will be fine," I smiled at him.
"I will be downstairs if you need me" he said and left.
I looked at the closed door before opening it and going inside.
The room looked comfy and it was beautiful. I opened the two doors which lead to the bathroom and the other lead to the closet.
It's really beautiful, with that thought in mind, I climbed my comfy bed and went to sleep.
