Thirteen

By Katherine, Grade 5

*Rielly you're gonna miss the bus* my mom said. It is the first day of school but it was just not the first day of school for the year. I never really tried to make friends because I know I will be moving again.

It was 15 minutes of constant yelling and screaming. I already knew I would never like this school. I went to my locker it was rusty and small all I could really fit was my backpack. I started going to homeroom and the first thing I see is a sign with bold letters WELCOME TO 7TH GRADE!

I looked so nervous I could puke. I suddenly started to like this school after a week but I could never tell anyone because I can’t get too close.

That same routine for the last 3 months it wasn’t fun. My mom always hangs around with me and my dad being gone for months.

I started to make friends and getting really connect there names were Reilly, Nicole, and Devan. We were called the techy we loved the name and we all are very good at creating games and coding we made apps. Then my mom gave me bad news, of course I was not ready I was just about to fit in but of course I wasn’t ready.

Then I heard something *ding dong*. My mom was definitely got me distracted she was glad for the that because of the bad news. Soon I run to the apartment door and I see dad. I am confused and the first thing he says is “how’s it going sunshine*!

I hug him tight and ask him why is he here?

He starts to spill the tea it is about to fall of corse after I heard it and then right away I went upstairs to my bedroom.

Crying with tear that could fill a whole glass. I didn’t want to move already it is has only been 3 months. Of course I happened when I didn't expect it. I started to scream that I had friends and I can’t let them go I wasn't ready.

*A Week Later* I started packing all my stuff throwing in into my walking dead suitcase. The next day we went to the airport extra early for no traffic. The first thing I see on my plane ticket it says *DELTA FLORIDA* I started to get worried It is always hot there even In the winter. I started to complain like I always to when I was complaining to go to New Jersey I had never even heard about it.

We went throw an hour of security and then finally got onto the airplane and two hours of fly.

I listened to the new playlist on spotify and took a long nap.

I open my eyes with the ear pop and ow. I said. I’m glad your awake just on time! My mom said. Then the flight attendant starts to talk when I start rubbing my eyes.

Hello fellow passengers I give you a big welcome to Florida! Then a big line of people I ee next to me. We head out and get some snacks and get an uber to our house. It was bigger and nicer than I thought it was going to be small. As soon we go inside and it is HUGE!

WE start to take a seat into the huge family room with amazing light coming out the windows. They said they had good news, I was ready this time and they say we retired.

I was happy but sad, I ask “Are we staying here for the rest of our lives”? The answer was yes. Squealed of happyness and start jumping in the clean house! And Reilly lived happily ever after with her new friends and family!
