Living in New York City was always what I wanted and the day my Mom told me that we're going to move to a small little town in Washington was definitely the worst in my whole life.

You know my Mom works as a reporter for a big Radio Station here in New York. She's responsible for all the criminalistic news all around the city and the close Suburbs. She's really good I have to admit that, but that's still not a reason to offer her a job at the other end of the country. Especially not when it's Neah Bay which is smaller then New Yorks smallest suburb.
As my Mom always wanted to leave NYC she was pumped from the second she got told, and she sure enough had to agree.

I hate her.

The high pitched voice of my Mom coming from downstairs woke me up this morning.
Why is she always so happy and over excited? There is nothing to be happy about in my opinion. It was my last day at New York High, before we'd move to Neah Bay, and I was in a terrible mood already.
I got out of my bed and made my way to the bathroom, nearly tripping over a box laying in front of my door.

"For fucks sake Mom!" I screamed while slamming the bathroom door shut.

I fucking hate her.

As I arrived in front of the NYH building my stomach dropped.
'I really don't want to leave' was all I could think about.
I shook my head and made my way to the old tree right next to the student car park where I could see my friend Hailey waiting.

While I was walking, I felt that burning sensation you get, when someone is watching you. I stopped and turned around but I couldn't see anything suspicious, everyone was too caught up with their own businesses.

I shook my head and tried to focus on Hailey while I was approaching her quickly.

Hailey waved and chirped happy as always.

"Good morning Sunshine"

"Morning" was all I mumbled.

"Oh come on Rosie, everything will be fine! I'm going to visit you every month and we can Skype and FaceTime everyday if you'd like to."

Haley is literally the best friend you could ever ask for. She's always concerned about me and she always makes sure I'm fine. I can't imagine what it's going to be like without seeing her everyday. Who am I going to talk to when my Mom and I are in one of our arguments? Who's going to hug me whenever I'm sad or afraid?

All those questions were running through my head for at least two weeks now and they were always causing fucking headaches.

Haley's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. She had a puzzled look on her face and was obviously waiting for me to reply.

"Sorry I was thinking again" I gulped down the lump in my throat and watched my feet nervously shuffling over the dirty courtyard floor.

I started sniffling an I could immediately feel Haleys arms around me.

"Oh babe, don't worry about it. Please it's hard for me as well but we'll make the best out of it!" She lifted my chin and smiled at me reassuringly.

"If you need to talk to someone just call me and I'll catch a flight to get to you as quick as possible, I promise" she wiped away a few tears that were falling from my eyes and gave me another tight hug.

"Pinky Promise?" I asked with a small smile appearing on my lips.

"Pinky Promise!" Hailey shouted while we crossed our fingers dramatically.

She never failed to make me laugh and I was already in a better mood, ready to face the last day at New York High.

"Thank you Hailey, you're the best, I love you" I gave her a quick kiss on her cheek and ruffled through her hair, which caused her to squeal and we both cracked up about how stupid she looked.

The school bell rang and I had to finally suck it up and try to be as though as I always pretended to be.

You know being the popular kid at school isn't really easy. I have to pretend to be someone else all the time and I fucking hate it with all of my heart.
I'm actually a pretty smart girl and school was never a problem for me until I met my friends. When you're popular you're definitely not part of the Mathletes even if you're really good and you're really enjoying it.
So in order to be accepted and especially to keep my popular friends, I had to stick to my role and mimic the dumb and heartless bitch everyone thought I was.

I shook my head to get rid off all the things I kept overthinking and pushed Hailey towards the entrance.

"Let's go lazy, we're late already and I really don't have the nerves to cause a scene in front of the whole class right now"
