Unwanted

Chapter 3

We started packing things up the next week. It made me even more sad to pack my stuff away than i thought. After a few weeks everything was packed! I know you can't believe we packed sooooo fast?! By Monday we had everything loaded up on moving trucks who were now on their way to the long trek of getting things to our new house in Alabama. It was my last night here, and I was even more devastated when I saw everything I knew and loved gone. I decided to go see my best friend Paulina Lorenzo. I needed to say my last goodbyes. As I slowly walked to her house I thought of all the memories me and Paula had had. When we went swimming in the lake, and fishing too of course. When Carlos played an April fools joke and told us he saw me changing and threatened to tell his other friends. Boy did i get him for that! Lets just say it involved a lot of cleaning up red stuff. When i finally made it too Paula's house i knocked on the door her mother answered. 

               "Hi Adriana" She said in her crisp yest soft accent. 

                "Where is Paula? I need to talk to her." I stammered her mother always made me feel uncomfortable especially at dusk! She was an older women with slightly graying hairs. She wore a dress made of cotton sewed with many patterns. 

                 "She is up in her room, make sure not to step on the third stair, it creeks" Th Lorenzo house was always quiet they savored silence and bottled up loudness and through it away. Of course i knew to skip the third stair i came here all the time yet every time miss.Luis always felt the need to remind you. 

                   "Yes Ma'am" i said politely you do not what to get on Luis's bad side! I climbed the stairs making sure to miss the creaky step and entered Paulina's room. Paula knew i was in the room before i even walked in, 

                    "Adriana!" She yelled then quickly covered her mouth.

                   "My mother is going to kill me" She said it as a joke but I could still see the fear buried in her eyes. "What did you come here for Riana?" Riana is my nickname and everyone calls me it. My mother and father will only use my full name if they are mad at me or trying to get my attention.

                      "I...came here to say my last goodbyes" I said sadly. 

                       "Oh" Was all Paula said. We spent the rest of the night talking about how were going to miss each other and if her phone could text mine from so FAR AWAY! We would live on ANOTHER CONTINENT!! When I made it back home, I went to my now empty room and slept on the newly blown up air mattress. Tomorrow would bring new worries but right now I needed to sleep.
