Emily p.o.v
*ring ring, ring ring*
I smack my alarm clock off as I get ready for school. I apply my foundation, eyeliner and mascara as I curl my hair with my new curler. The VS Sasoon. pretty happy with that birthday present. I put on my uniform and pack my bag,

"Bye mum, bye daddy!" I call out but no one answers. Oh well that's a tad bit funny. I go through the fridge and grab two tim tams and eat them on the way to the bus stop. I am going through my phone deleting the photos my friend Georgia takes. Like a hundred 😵😒. And I come across one of my mum, (photo at top). 'God I hope she is ok' I wonder to myself as I get onto the bus with my childhood friend Andy letting me on before him, all I really do is reply with a small thanks. Just so you know no matter how long you know me I am so quiet at times or I can kill people with my laugh at other times. It's a win-win situation sorta thing.
As everyone sorta peels into the bus, stop by stop my friend Meghan and her boyfriend Sam sit infront of me and go back to their usual making mouth babies "wonderful" I mutter to myself. To try and ignore the tonsil hockey going on infront of me I text my mum
To, Birthgiver💕👩
Hey mum I didn't see you this morning hope you are well and you are with daddy too. Love you lots and I'm in the bus too! See you this afternoon, love you forever 😘.

I sent her my message and wait for a reply. I still have no rely an hour later and that's when I am starting to freak out cause mum never doesn't message me like 5 minutes later letter-lone an hour. I get off the bus and walk into the bathrooms to find a mirror. I am a nervous mess right now and I defiantly don't feel like seeing anyone. As I say that I walk outside and walk into my friend Alex.

"Em what's wrong?" He asks and I can't hold it back anymore I latch myself to him and cry and panic as he comforts me. Not and more of my friends come over and I know I have to explain what's happened. After I do everyone comes and envelops me into a giant group hug and we have to walk to roll call as the bell goes.
,...TIME SKIP TO PERIOD 3...,
I am sitting in geography working on my sheets when a messenger comes in and tells me to go to the front office to see the principal.
As I walk to the office a million scenarios run through my head to why I am coming up here.

""Emily Paul, please sit down I have some news to tell you." mr o'brien the principal says.
"Emily I'm afraid your mother and father have been in a gruesome accident and have not made it. I am incredibly sorry." he says as he places a hand on my shoulder. I lose my shit and start crying. I cry and cry till no more tears allow to fall down my mascara skidded cheeks.
"Your parents had written down on their will that if this is to happen you will stay with their good friends in America." he speaks softly as I gaze up to look him in the eyes.

"I have to go to America. But all my friends are here and I just can't pack up and leave Australia without even knowing the people?" I say

"I'm sorry but this is to happen. You have to go home now and pack you leave for the plane in two hours" he replies as he escorts my back to my class.
"Sorry but I'm afraid Emily has to home. Please let her day goodbye to her friends" he instructs my teacher ms sacalle who loves me the most out of all my teachers. All she does is nod and pull me into a hug and whispers a goodbye and you will be ok into my ear.
