in Connecticut
March 13th, 2002
I was soooo mad when my parents told me. And in front of all my ten brothers and sisters too!We were moving away from everything that I had ever loved! My boyfriend and best friend, my school and the museam, the park and the icecream shop down on the corner! We were moving. I would have change schools and live in a new town were I didn't know anyone. I would have to make a new best friend and have a new boyfriend I would have to go to a diffrent museam and play in a new park and I would have to go to a new icream parlor down on the corner. Being a teenager and the oldest of 10 kids was bad enough but moving too! My life was over!
I called Catrina(my best friend) and asked her to meet me on the corner of Jennis Drive and Penny Blivard. There I would tell her my bad news.
I walked down the street dreading to moment when I would tell the most important friend I've ever had the worst news that I can tell her. I noticed the sun start to go down as I saw her kicking up dirt on a bench at the bustop. ''What's wrong?'' she asked when she saw my usually happy face droop with pain. I took a deep breath and said the the three most painful word that I would ever say to my best friend in person. ''Wwwe..Arre...Movvving.''I croaked out the words as if they were the last words ever said. Slowly and timidly I lowered my face to the ground. There was silence following those horrible words and then there was crying. Not my crying but Catrina's. She was crying for me. I lifted my face and saw her face buried in her hands.
Hwo will Ctrina react to more bad news in Chepter 2? Find out!
