I wake up to an ear numbing sound coming from my alarm clock. It startles me from a dream I was having. I don't exactly remember the dream but I'm glad that I woke up from it. I slowly turn over -still a little groggy from just waking up- and give just enough force to turn off my alarm clock! I slowly roll out of bed and look at my bare room. All there is in my room is a blow up mattress,my alarm clock,my charger and phone,a duffle bag filled with clothes,and a couple boxes. As I make my way over to my cyan and hot pink duffle bag (with my name in rhinestones on it) my mom calls from the kitchen.

"Lexi,you need to bring the rest of your stuff out to the car so we could get going"

"Yes ma'am just let me get dressed and I'll be right out!" I respond back

I get to my bag and grab a white sports bra and put it on. I grab a white tank top, a geometric patterned sheer tank from Aèropostel, and some white jean shorts that have been over worn. I quickly get changed and slip on my white converse and throw my black and white Vans snapback. I then gather the rest of my stuff and throw it into a box and put the box onto my other box and go down the hall to the front door.I struggle at first to open the door, so I set my boxes down and open the door then grab all my boxes again. As I am walking out the door I bump into someone.

I hear the person laugh then hear them say "Hey watch it" I notice it's my friend Taylor.
"Hey can you please grab some of these boxes and help me carry them to the car?" I asked, he smiled his cocky little smile and grabbed the top two boxes and carried them to the car.

You see Taylor and I have know each other since we were toddlers! And on top of that were next door neighbors. Taylor is my bestest and closest friend I have here in Indiana.But sadly this is the last time I will be seeing him for awhile.

"I wish you didn't have to leave" Taylor whined,
"I'm sorry Tay,but it's not my choice. To be honest if I could stay here I would but,I guess California is just calling me for an adventure!" I remarked

Taylor look down at me with sorrow in his eyes. "Well I guess if you at least come to visit I will be okay." Taylor said wirily

"Okay coming to visit isn't even a question cause you know I'll be back here as much as I can be!"

"Even if you come to visit me I will still miss you like shit"

"Lexi we got to get going!" My mom yelled after me,

"OKAY!!" I yelled back

"You heard mom I have to leave Tay!" I said sadder than I intended

"Okay but you can't without giving me a hug first!" Taylor replied

*Taylor leaned in and we hugged until my mom came out*

My mom came and put the rest of what we had into the car and closed the trunk.

I got into the back seat while Mike got shotgun.

I rolled down my window to see Taylor still standing there in his tye-dye shirt and bandana on.

"Bye Taylor I'll call you as soon as we get there!"

"HEY LEXI REMEMBER ONE THING!" he called after me

"WHAT?!" I yell

"PUBIC HAIR!" he says with a smile on his face

I laugh and yell back "YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE WILL YOU?"

"NOPE!" I barely hear him as I see he's laughing

That is the last thing I hear as my mom is pulling out of our street and out onto the highway. This my goodbye to my life in Indiana.
