It was just a month left before school closes for summer break. I was sitting down in the classroom, in my seat, during six hour which was the last hour (class) for the day. I watch my friends as they were talking and playing happily. It made me happy and at the same time sad knowing that I will not get to have this moment again with them next semester. But the moment I had with them will forever remain in my heart.
All the plans we had will not be completed. we planed on how to work hard and study together in high school, so as to get in the same college. We never even thought of any of our family moving to a different state.
I still haven't tell my friends about moving. I meant to do so a long time ago. But didn't know how to say it. It is better to tell them, than for them to hear or find out from some else that my family moved. I walk up to them with a sad face. Anyone, even from a distance could tell that something was bothering me. They all stop playing and looked at me. "What is wrong with you" They all said together at the same time. As friends, we always help each other and do everything possible to make sure that we are all important and we need each other in our lives.
I promised myself to say it out this time. I hold back my breath for a moment, breath out and look at them and said in a low voice "I won't be here next semester". They look confuse for sometime and I explain to them further more that my family will be relocating to a different state soon. After saying this, their facial expression changed. I could feel their sadness. I did not wanted to tell them, there was nothing I could do other than telling them and there was no other best time I thought of, that I could possible tell them.
My mom and dad got a new job and it was in a different location and the only option for my family was to move and stay closer to where they will be working.
They glanced at me for some time. I felt their feeling because it was the same feelings I got when first heard that we will be moving and I on the other hand will be leaving them.
"I thought of saying this a long time ago but I did not know how to say it. Time is running out and I needed to tell you all before I had no time left" I said playing with my fingers and looking at them.
My friend walk up close to me with pitiful faces, wishing I didn't go.
Many things happen in life. Some we can change and some we can't change but plan to make it look good in the future.
We decided to stay connected through our parents until we get our own mobile phones. We made a promise to be friends forever. No matter how far we were or we will be apart, our friendship will forever be the same. We spend the time talking about how the future might be and what the future holds for us all.
School was over for the day after the bell rang. I sat down in the first seat in the school bus counting the amount of days I had left to ride on the bus. Looking around, I saw all the beautiful places I won't get to see after a month from now. Before I could think of what happen entirely on the bus, The bus got to my stop. I walk out of the bus and say thanks and goodbye to the bus driver.
It takes about three minutes to walk on foot from the bus stop to my house.
I ride on the school bus because mom often pick up Ethan after school and go with him to his after school activities. Dad work until five and sometimes six in the evening having no time to pick up me from school, on the days he work. The days he doesn't work, he pick me up from school.
Briana drives. We go to the same school district but the location of her school was different from mine since she was in high school and I was still in middle school.
New environment was all I could see when looking at the house in my neighborhood. Have I not be paying close attention to the environment or is it because I will be leaving that everything is beginning to look new to me? I thought to myself.
I got home, open the door, went straight to my room, take off my back pack, dress, shoes, and put on different cloth. I went to the kitchen open the fridge and look for something to eat.
The day finally comes to and end when I finished my homework which was due at 11:59, at eleven O'clock.
