moving day. the day i have been looking forward to for the last six months. i can't wait to get out of this hell hole of Florida, even if it is to some hick town in Nebraska that i have never heard the name of until six months ago.
"Emma!" my mother screamed from downstairs, she was waiting for me as i said one last goodbye to my old room.
goodbye to the memories, the good and the bad. to my first blowjob to losing my virginity. goodbye room of mine. hopefully i never have to see you again i muttered as i flicked off my room and walked out the door.
i ran to the car as my mother shut the trunk and got into the front seat, "sorry i was checking to make sure i didn't forget anything" i said buckling as my mom started the car.

1 hotel stop and 18 hours later we were finally in Omaha. just me and my mom. it felt nice to have a fresh start. i directed the moving guys as they set up my bed and dressers in my room. i thanked them and shooed them out of my room. i sat down on my unmade bed and checked my phone. the time read 2:13pm.
i unpacked my first box of bed linens. once i was done i made my way downstairs to find my mom speaking to a women who looked to be her age. she had a- woah woah woah- muffin basket?? this lady is the shit. don't mind if i do.
"Emma sweetie, come here real quick?" my mother called for me.
i walked over and smiled at the lady. i just wanted her muffin basket. "this is Katherine, she is out neighbor" she introduced us, "Katherine, this is my daughter Emma."
"Hi nice to meet you" i smiled and shook he hand.
"Nice to meet you too, You said she was going to Westside? What grade are you in?" Katherine asked.
"I'm a senior." i said smiling again for the 80th time.
"Oh my goodness. My son Jack is a senior too. You should come over and meet him!" She offered.
Gosh lady i just want your muffin basket not your son. I thought not realizing that it would be her son that i want.
