A New Beginning

Chapter 1 : Packing Up

I couldn't believe it . " It wasn't real . It just wasn't . This had to be a dream . No it's not real . " I said in my head . I was trying real hard to make myself think that I was just having a bad dream or something . But no . It was real . It wasn't some sort of dream . It was real .

" WHY ARE WE MOVING ?!?!? " I screamed at my parents . My parents had just told me that we were moving and that I had to start packing . " Me and your father can't pay for this house anymore . It's just too expensive . Like the electricity bill and the water bill . I'm sorry honey . " She said in a disappointed voice . " Wait... " I said as I realized what was going to happen . My ears plastered onto my head and my tail stopped on it's own . " Th...tha...that...that means I'm never going to be able to see my friends again...ever again... " I said in a quiet high voice . Memories with my friends showed up in my mind and swirled around in my head . So many great memories that I had with them . I could feel tears in the corners of my eyes , stinging my eyes . I held them back . " You will see them again . Don't you remember that you have that app that starts with Sky - whatever it's called ? " My mom said . " You mean Skype ? " I asked . " Yeah , that thing . Now you gotta start packing . " She told . My parents then walked out of my room . How did she not notice how upset I was ? I didn't know and I didn't care anymore . But it wasn't going to be the same if we Skyped each other . It just wouldn't be the same . I would need to see them in person .

Memories came rushing through my head again , overflowing me with sorrow . I couldn't hold it in any longer . I let a tear roll down my cheek and let another roll down . I then let all the tears out onto my pillow . Damn , my pillow was soaking wet from the tears . I must've been crying for at least and hour or so . I had to start packing up . I wiped the last tear that was so gliding down my face and I started packing . My mom had already put out all the boxes that I would need to put my stuff in . I opened the drawer and started putting my clothes in the one of the boxes . I had to keep out an outfit for tomorrow . I already had my pajamas on because it was lazy Saturday , where I just wear my pajamas all day . I put all my other stuff inside of the the other boxes . When I was done , I picked up the boxes and put them next to my mom . My mom was putting pillows away in a big box . " Hey mom , I have a question . " I asked . " Yes ? " She said as she shoved a teal pillow into the box . " Can we please see my friends tomorrow before we go ? " I asked . I was hoping she was going to say yes but I was wrong . " We can't see your friends . Moving is more important . " She said . " HM !!!!! " I mumbled loudly . I turned around and stomped my way upstairs into my room .

I plopped onto my bed and started staring at the ceiling . My mom has always hated my friends for some reason . I think it's because she doesn't have any friends . I think she's jealous on how great my relationship is with them . " How am I going to get to see my friends one last time before I leave ? " I thought as I started at the rippled ceiling . It was getting late . It was 7:39 pm . We can always go over to each other's house whenever we wanted . Except my mom wouldn't allow that to . She didn't want my friends coming inside my house without her permission . God , my mom didn't let me do anything . I am responsible in my house , in school , and in public , but how come my mom didn't think I was ? Sometimes I sneaked out of the house at night to go to Naomi's , Momoko's , & Ayaka's house and I was never caught . " Wait ! I got it ! I can call my friends and ask them if they can go to Momoko's house and meet me there . " I said in my head .

I picked up my phone and dialed Momoko's number . " Hello Asuka . How are you ? " She asked . " I have a question for you Momo . " I said . " Yes ? " She questioned . " Aren't your parents still at the hotel ? " I asked . Momoko had told me that her parents were taking a little vacation for a few days and that she was home alone . " Yeah why ? " She replied . I was wondering if I could come over . I also want Naomi & Ayaka to come . But when's a good time to come over ? " I questioned . " You can come over anytime , you don't have to ask me . " Momo told . " Okay , I'll be coming over at 11:30 . I'll see you later... I said in a depressing voice . " Wait , what's wrong Asu-... " Momoko said . I stopped the call while she talking . I then called Naomi & Ayaka and I told them to go over to Momo's house at 11:30 . It was only 8:30 pm . I was looking really forward to seeing them , but upset that I may never see them again in person .

Seconds felt like minutes and minutes felt like hours . Time was going by slowly . Very slowly . I must've looked at my clock about 5 million times . I laid in my bed staring at the clock and realized that it was 11:30 . I was about to bounce out of my bed onto the floor but I knew I couldn't . I slowly got out of bed and I walked quietly to the door . I had to make sure that my parents where asleep . The lights were off in the hallway so I assumed that my parents were asleep but I still had to make sure . I quietly and slowly walked up to my parents room . Once I got to the doorway , I looked at the bed . My mom and dad were asleep . This meant that I could leave . I slowly and I silently went down the stairs and to the front door . I already had a pair of socks on my feet so I could put on my sneakers . I got back up and silently opened and closed the door . I then I started sprinting to Momoko's house .
