It was a chilly morning. I woke up on Monday and as I headed straight to the bathroom I saw the photo of my dad. Memories started coming back. My dad left my mum for another woman and to this day i've always hoped that he'd come back. He told me he was going to move to New York but my mum didn't know that. I stopped looking at the photo and walked in the bathroom. However, just as I was about to pick up the toothpaste i saw a spider crawling. "AAAAHHHHHHH!" I screamed. I fell to the toilet floor waiting for the spider to escape. And it did. It went straight down to the bottom of the sink. I got up from the ground and began brushing my teeth as if nothing had happened.
10 Minutes Later
After I brushed my teeth i put my school clothes on. Then I went downstairs to eat breakfast where I found my mum cooking pancakes with syrup. "Morning Emily." Mum said. "Morning mum."I replied back. "Sit down and eat breakfast." she said happily. I heeded her order and sat down starting on my first pancake.... I looked at the time. I got up from my chair and went to empty my plate. "Have some more" mum said pushing me towards the food. "I can't" I said feeling really full up. "Plus I'd better go to school now. Bye" I said as I shut the door quietly. I started to walk up towards the bus stop.
5 Minutes Later
I was leaning over the road to see if the bus was coming and it was, so I put my hand out to gesture the bus to stop. I hopped on the bus and found a seat right at the back. I sat down and plugged my headphones so I could listen to music. I reached school in half an hour which meant I was early by 10 minutes. I walked to my class and stood there till the bell rang. "Hi Emily." Jake said. "Hi." I replied back and rushed in to the class to get a good seat. Moments later everyone walked in to the class and the seats started getting filled up. Mr Monty our History teacher came last and began with the lesson.
2 Hour Later
At last History was over. It was now break. I went to the playground where I met my friends Annaliese and Chelsea. "Where have you been?" My friends both said. "We have been looking everywhere for you." Sorry that i'm late but i'm here now." I said cheerfully. We were walking around the playground when Chelsea said "How were your Christmas holidays?" "It was good beside the fact that I was sick on Boxing Day and I had a really bad sore throat." "How was yours?" I asked Chelsea. She said "I spent mine at my grandma's, who I love very much". "Ananaliese what about you?" Chelsea said. "Mine was alright too" she said with an expression of happiness on her face." "I love eating chicken on Christmas especially with gravy." I said. "Yeah." My friends both said.....
Soon the bell rang and I was so happy because I had maths with my friends this time. We all joyfully walked in the class together. We always sat next to each other. Our teacher Mrs Cambridge started blubbering on about algebra which I hated but decided to listen... OH NO! As the lesson ended Mrs Cambridge gave us homework. "Work out what x, y and z is and just to remind you this homework is due tommorow so you'd better do it." She said in a terrifying way. The next lesson I had was English with Mr Harley one of my favourite teachers ever. This lesson I listened hard and worked hard too. I also loved Mr Harley because he rarely ever gave out homework. Maybe like three times a year. But that was our little secret that we kept. "YES" I said to myself. It was lunchtime. My favourite subject of the day. The chance to eat and spend time with my friends for a little bit longer. Meantime I queued up the lunch line. I got pepporoni pizza with chips and a bottle of water. YUM! One of my favourite foods. I was trying to look for an empty table to sit down and eat. Then over on the left side I met my friends eating at a table. They saw me coming. "We got a table" Chelsea said excitedly. I sat down at the table eating and talking to my friends. After for what seemed to be quite some time we all went out to the playground where we chatted until the bell rang.
It was form time. Our form time only lasted 20 minutes. Nothing special ever went on in form besides the register and our usual class discussions. I went to class. I had double science.... School was finished. I was enjoying the moment. I was walking up the bus stop when the bus came right behind me. I ran for the bus and got there just in time... "Hi Mum." I said as I closed the door. " Hi sweetie how was school today?" Mum asked me. "It was fine, still the same." I replied back. I went upstairs and in to the bathroom to shower....
When I came downstairs mum told me something that I didn't want to hear. She said "We have to move house." I quickly said "Why?" "I like it here. "I just got a call from work." She carried on. My mum's work involved her along with me moving places. So far I have moved schools four times. I have to make new friends all the time. "But you told me we wouldn't ever leave from here." "Four times is enough mum." I complained. "I don't want to leave this house or my school." "You can't really do anything because even I don't want to leave but it's my job that's making me." Mum sadly said. "Well you can get a new job." I suggested. I knew that my mother didn't want to leave and that she had no choice. "Well we're moving and you can't change my mind." Mum told me and went to the kitchen.
I knew I was going to leave school and house but I still had hope. Thoughts sprung in my mind of my dad. I wished my dad was here. He worked too but his job didn't need me to move school. I want to find him. I thought. But he was in New York which was countries away. It is a good thing I'm leaving In a weeks time because I can plan how i'm going to sneak on to an aeroplane to find my dad. I'm a bit nervous because I've never really done anything like this in my entire life. But I was also feeling kind of confident and strong. I mean after all though my journey is bad I do have a good motive. I just want my dad back. That's all.
