Grow old together

The letter

"Abz. This is for you." mum said as she passed me my letter.

"What is it about?" I asked

"I don't know love, have a look."

I opened it.

Dear Mrs Abbie Jade Fletcher,

I am in charge of a soccer camp in Australia and we teach children between the age of 7 and 16 different skills and sessions in soccer. We have great coaching staff and looked to bring in more.

However our course doesn't have that many girls interested. So we're looking to expand this mainly in the older categories. In order to do this we need more female staff. Which is why we have contracted you today.

We would like to offer you a place at our camp. You will be paid and your accommodation will be included. We also have your transport over hear as well.

We hope that you choose to join us over here. Please contact us if you are interested tested and we will confirm your place and we will contact you with extra details.

Thank you.

Christopher Johnson
Camp leader

"Abbie?" Carrie said

"Yeah?" I said looking up.

"What's that about?"

"There's a football camp and they want me to go and coach."

"That's amazing abz! Why arnt you happy?" Mum said

"It's not that I don't want to do it it's just I won't see you guys. I don't want to move?"

"You will see us. Plus your 18 so you will have to move out at some point. Where is it?"

"Australia." I said

"Oh. Well that doesn't matter. There's Skype?"

"I don't know."

"Listen think about it. But this is a good opportunity for you."

"I will." I smiled as I finished my coco pops.

I went up stairs to get ready.

I put on my the script band shirt and a pair of jeggings with my red converse.

There was a knock on my door. Carrie then walked in and sat on my bed.

"Hey." I smiled through my mirror as I was doing my hair and make up.

"You know I think you should do this."

"I do really want to. Its my dream. Thats why I applied. But ... what about you, mum, dad, tom, the lads..."

"You will make more friends over there. It's a Australia after all. Your so lucky to get the offer. But I think you should do this."

I nodded at her carrie was right.

"Go down to the studio and speak to the lads. take it with you and see what they say."

"Yeah I'm going to ring dannys mum and see what she says."

"Okay, I'll leave you too it."

I put down my curling wand and sat on my bed. Should I really do this?
