Change. Something I despise the most. And just as much as I hated it, my parents decided to push me into it.
I lived in Chicago. It's what I called home. The best home anyone could ever wish for. I grew up here and I loved it. Everything was absolutely perfect. I went to Hamilton High, one of the best schools. And, I had great friends. What more could one possibly ask for?
I came home from school. It had been a hectic day. The academic year was coming to an end and just two months were left for finals. It was hard to believe that 10th grade was coming to an end. Time flew by so fast. It had been an amazing year.
"I'm home!" I called out as I entered my house.
My parents were in the living room.
"Hi Dad. How come you're home early today?"
"Mavis! We have good news!" my mom literally squealed. I laughed. She wasn't usually so hyper about anything.
"What is it mom?" I said, still laughing at the comical expression on her face.
"We're moving to California!" she said.
I stopped laughing and stared at her. What just happened?
"Your dad got transferred. We're moving in two weeks. Isn't that great?" she went on.
My mind went blank. It took a moment for it to sink in. This is 'good' news?
"Mavis? Aren't you happy?" my dad asked.
I couldn't believe he was asking me that.
"Happy? Dad, seriously? Do you even know what you're saying? I have my finals in less than two months. How in the world do you expect me to shift schools at this point?" I yelled.
My parents looked at each other.
"What?" I snapped.
"Mavis. Honey, we got in contact with one of the schools in California. We've sent them your previous academic reports. They're ready to take you in" mom said.
"How long have you been hiding this from me?" I asked. I was fuming.
"Come on honey. It is going to be great. Give it a chance." dad said.
"You guys are unbelievable." I snapped. I rushed to my room and slammed the door.
Its like my whole world had turned upside down. Just the thought of such a big change made me want to disappear.
Hi guys. This is my first story ever. And it isn't that great, so no hate please. Maybe I'll get better yes? I'm trying my best and I hope you all are supportive.
Thank You. x
