       I can't believe it my junior year and my mum decides to move all the way out to "paradise" as she likes to call it. She said it would be a good change and all but that doesn't hide the fact we're moving because my dad got let go from his job. after 4 months of looking, he found a job in this little place called Outer Banks or something like that. My dad's name is Christopher and my mom's name is Marie, I have 1 sister and her name is Scarlet. My mum must have been on something while giving birth to me in order to name me Kat, Kat Johnson, who would do that to their child. (I personally love that name)

       As I opened my eyes as one does in the morning my room was the barest, I have ever seen it in my life. I can't believe my mum is really selling the house we grew up in, the house I will always call home, the house I would lie awake at night and rethink my life's choices in, the place I feel safe. Not to mention I'm losing my room in the prosses to. I get out of my bed which is the last thing in my room and go through the bag of clothes I have and change into my go to outfit, baggy jeans, graphic tee and converse. I also put a bandana in my hair to keep my hair out of my face when I carry boxes up to my new room which I know could never compete with the original. 

       As I walk down the stairs sorrowfully for the last time, I try to remember every detail of the house. as I'm halfway down my mum yells "KAT! get downstairs we're leaving in 2 minutes" as if she can't see me walking. " I'm literally right here calm down." how could she not be sad, were never going to go surfing on the same beach again, I'm never going to see my friends again, the list goes on and on forever and ever. as my dad is putting the last of the things in the truck we start to drive to Outer Banks.

       "What's up Kat?" my dad says as he tries to make conversation "what do you mean." I say as I lie my head on the window listening to my music. "You look like your mad." "Well of course I am you gave us a weeks' notice that we were moving to some random place which I've never heard of, you're moving me and scar away from our friends and family why, oh why would I be happy." "Think of this as a fresh start and look, schools out and its summer so you and Scar can go surfing and make friends maybe go to parties, I don't know explore get into trouble." Scar and I look at each other for a second thinking about it, maybe it wasn't so bad, maybe it could be good for us, and surfing would be super fun especially because we've never surfed here. "Yeah, I guess you're right, we'll give it a shot." 

       "SEE! that's more like it, I for one am excited about the house, I can't wait for you guys to see it." my dad said as he grabbed my mum's hand. as I looked at their fingers intertwined, I couldn't help but think how their relationship was so stable and happy, do they hide all the bad stuff from us? as I was dosing off to sleep the song moonlight on the river filled my ears, pondering how life could go in Outer Banks.
