I wake up at 7:30 am because I felt like sleeping in considering I could because I didn't need to shower I still had 2 hours before school. I got up and turned on the TV in my room the Ellen show was on so I sat and stared at the TV for who knows how long. After that I plugged in my ipod and listened to my tunes, it's the only way I can get dressed in the mourning. I grab my black tights and a pink crop top with a black tang top underneath. As the music played show you by Shawn Mendes I sang into my hair brush. Then I stopped and realized I needed to actually brush my hair and carry on with my day. I had long wavy brunet hair that looked like a birds nest when it was unbrusded. After brushing it I applied some mascara and a small touch of eyeliner,which completed my look. I walked out of my room and upstairs to the kitchen for breakfast and see my parents sitting at the table giving me this look that gives me a bad vibe like someone died today. I sit down and they stare at me, "what?" I speak aloud wondering what the heck happened. My parents sigh and give me another look I roll my eyes in frustration "just say whatever your going to say the suspense is killing me!". "Well April..." my mom starts " your father and I have put an offer on a house in Florida and we just got it today" she ended in a shaky voice " what we're moving what the hell we can't move to Florida" I screamed and smashed the table spilling my mother's tea cup. "Well honey we just figured that we have been living in the same place in the same town for so long that it's time for a change of cenoery and we found a beautiful house in a lovely neighbor hood and your gonna just love it" my dad said, "I don't wanna love it I love it here you know how hard it will be for me to make friends and how hard it will be to keep in touch with my old ones this isn't fair" I blurted " honey we knew you were gonna be this way so we'll just let you be and give you some time to tell your friends and adjust" my mom says then they both get up and walk out of the room. I sit in my chair stunned, my world was about to change.

I skipped breakfast and went outside to catch the bus right away. I sat in my usual spot and waited for my friend to get picked up on the bus. I waited forever I really needed to tell someone the suspense was absolutely killing me. My bus comes to a stop and the doors open, my friend Madison walks up the stairs cautiously her brunet hair is tied tightly into a ponytail she wore a black shirt that read "cosmic kiss" and a pair of blue jeans. Her face turns into a glowing smile once she sees me. She walks down the aisle and plops a seat right beside me, " hey Maddison" I say to break the silence that has filled the air between us. "Hey girlfriend what's new" Maddison always spoke that way she was always a girly girl ever since the day I meet her in grade 5 but she'll always be one of my best friends. "Actually a lot is new right now" I said in a nervous voice " we'll spill the beans girlfriend has somebody stole your heart" she said while putting her hands over her heart and pretending to faint, I gave a sheepish smile and laughed a bit but not a funny laugh more like an uncomfortable laugh. "Actually that's not it no matter how hard I wish it was that" I said while twirling my fingers together. "Well spill then" she said still sounding girly but more serious. "Well this morning my parents dropped the bomb on me that we were moving" I said and I could feel my throat closing up and my eyes started to sting with tears. " Your still gonna live in town right?" She said sounding scared." Actually we won't even be living in Canada were moving into America"

I felt my shoulder go wet because Madison started to sob her eyes out on my shoulder. It was awkward because every one on the bus was starring at me probably thinking who did she kill. I rub Madisons back to try and calm her even though it didn't do much. She cried until the bus pulled over in front of the school. She kept crying till our first period, I think I ruined her day. During history I couldn't focus I was imagining Madison crying during health with her makeup all smeared and ruined and embarrassing herself in front of everyone. I feel like the worst friend ever but it's not my fault it's more like my parents fault. But I still felt guilty.

At first break I sat with my friends and we chated about our day and what we did in our classes. It was nice to be with all my friends because high school is evil and only put some of us in the same class together. After a while u decided to drop the bomb about how I'm moving and all. "So guys I have big news" I said shaky I looked across the table at Madison and I could see tears forming in her eyes which made this even harder then it should be. All my friends leaned in closer to me which made me feel claustrophobic. "Well this mourning I was eating breakfast..."Madison burst into tears before I was even halfway threw. "Anyways..." I said trying to ignore her "this mourning my parents dropped the bomb on me that we are moving into... well... um... Florida" suddenly I was trapped in a storm of sobs and hugs. This was unbearable. The bell rang and I ran to my locker and left them all to cry in peace.

The end of the day went faster then I thought. I can't wait to get home the second I open that door I'm running into my room and going to sleep. I packed my bag as fast as I could before my friends found me. I ran out of the school and to my house by the time I got there I was out of breath and absolutely needed to relax. I threw my bag down and walked threw the kitchen,my mom stopped me and asked "how was your day sweet heart" I glared at her and responded "I could have been better".
