Indiana dad? You could've chosen ANYWHERE and you choose Indiana."
Before we go on any further, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rebecca. Rebecca Cline and I'm moving from sunny wonderful California to dull and dim Hawkins Indiana. I'm also a senior in high school, class of 1984.
"It's not that bad. I grew up in Hawkins. It's a nice quiet place." My dad replied trying to convince me that leaving California was actually a good idea.
My dad had been wanting to move back to Hawkins for a long time now. Mom got sick a few years back, so staying put in California where all the best doctors were was the best choice at the time, but now that mom was gone, dad thought it was the perfect time to start new.
"Mom would've hated this by the way. She hated roadtrips." I said trying to get him to talk about my mom. He hadn't really talked about her much since she passed a year ago.
"She would've." He smiled and said nothing more.
I put my headphones back on and put my Bowie cassette in my Walkman and hit play.

"I can't believe you're moving." Amy, my best friend, said with a sad look on her face.
"This is our senior year. What are we supposed to do without you?" My other best friend Priscilla added, as she dramatically threw herself into my bed.
"I know you guys and trust me I'm not happy about any of this either. My dad is just so set on going back to Hawkins. Nothing I could say was going to change his mind." I said as I continued to fold my clothes into moving boxes.
Amy, Priscilla and I have been best friends our entire lifes. There's not a single thing we don't do together. Our moms were best friends growing up so it only seemed natural we be just as close. They were right by side the entire time my mom was sick and right by my side the day she died and then again at her funeral. I love them more than anything. The thought of leaving them and not being able to see them everyday was agonizing. What if I didn't find friends like them in Hawkins?
"I'm going to try to convince my dad to let me come back for college in the fall. I'm applying as soon as I'm able to." I told them.
