Prep High: Auri Dash

New City

Packing and unpacking is the worst I swear. My family and I just moved to D.C. from Atlanta. Dad got a promotion so we had to move. He is now the head director of a talk show they have here. It is called Talk To Me with Ashley Kurt. I personally think they should rename it because the name of it is retarded but hey who am I to judge? I mean I am somebody but my opinion would not matter to the rich folks. Ashley Kurt has been spoon fed her whole life. We have money also but we haven't always had it. My dad didn't start bringing in the big money until I was 10 and my sister was four. So I haven't always had it good. We were living paycheck to paycheck, my dad was the only one working while my mom was in school. Now she is like the superintendent of schools and what not. I know what being in low class feels like and I would never put any one down because of where they come from.  

Anyways I am beyond irritated with this move. I miss my friends and my city. My friends were like my family now I have to make stupid new ones. Girls can be cruel when your new and in their territory. I start my new school in three weeks. The school is called Prep High, its some rich school where you have to wear uniform. I saw the uniform on the school website and let me tell you it is hideous. Like what were these people thinking? My life is over here in D.C. 

While unpacking the box with my shoes in them one of the moving men brought my mirror up to my room. "Where would you like me to put this miss? "You can put it over there." "Thank you I say." Your welcome." Before he leaves he turns around and says" Welcome to D.C. I roll my eyes mentally and smile at him. He smiled back. 

I walk over to my mirror to look at myself. I am 5'8, have light brown skin, my hair stops at my shoulders and I wear retro glasses to see. Every now and then I wear contacts but that's only when I'm playing volleyball. I love volleyball it is my life and I have been wanting to go pro since I was a young one. My dad used to watch the Olympics when I was little and when I saw the game I knew I had to play. So I made my dad put me on a team. He was hesitant at first making me wait two weeks for an answer. I remember because that was the longest two weeks of my life. I kept asking him everyday and everyday he would say I'm still thinking about it Auri.  I had finally got the answered I wanted one day when I came home from school, I was in the third grade. My mom and dad were in the kitchen waiting on me.

"Sit down Auri, he said." I was a little hesitant at first because I thought I was in trouble. I sat down slowly looking at them with a million questions running through my mind. Dad broke the silence first. "Your not in trouble so you can stop looking like that." Whew! "Dad you just don't know you had me scared because I have been a good girl." Mom started smiling at my comment. Dad laughed. Look baby girl he said, I have got an answer for your question. You do?! I said. I looked at him with my eyes all big fearing the worst answer possible which is no. I have decided to let you play. I let go of the breath I didn't know I was holding, ran right into his arms and hugged him for dear life. He hugged me back then let go of the embrace. "Listen though if I'm paying for these lessons and for you to be apart of them team I need you to stick with it." No slacking on your game." Do we have a deal? He said this with all seriousness so that I knew not to fuck up. "I understand daddy, I am going to make you proud." Ever since then I have been playing my heart out to be the best.

"Auri! Come down we are going out to eat for dinner!" My mother yelled from downstairs. "Coming mom! I grabbed my jacket and left to go out to eat. We got to this restaurant that serves taco's and wings. Weird combination but I accept. I sit down next to my little sister Hannah who is like the biggest brat ever but I love her. She can be a big baby at times and its so irritating. She literally irritates my soul I don't know how just yet but I'm working on it. Sometimes I cant even be in the same room with her it's like why you act like this? Oh I know why it's because my parents have been spoiling her. They are going to learn one day that this behavior she has is going to cause major trouble in her and our lives.

Auri don't sit by me I want mommy to sit by me she said while pouting. Now mind you she is ten and she still acts like this. Hannah it is not that serious for mom to sit by you. I am going to sit right here whether you like it or not. I said as I huffed. Mom!! "Tell Auri to move so you can sit by me. "Auri get up so I can sit right there." Are you serious right now? My mom stared at me liked I done hit a nerve or something when in actuality my sister has hit mine. Yes now get up I don't want her to be whining out in public. I stood up with so much anger in me and I looked at my sister. I was about to say something but my mom stopped me. "Don't say anything to her Auri! "I don't know what's wrong with you but you better get it together! I looked at my mom in utter shock. I just sat down next to my dad because I did not have time for this shit today. "You lil brat I mumbled. "What you say Auri?, my mom asked. Nothing mom. I'm so ready to get this dinner over with so I can lock myself in my room. The food was good the company wasn't.

We return home from the restaurant and I am exhausted and still pissed. I'm going to finish unpacking tomorrow it's so much to put up. I pick up my phone to call my bestfriend back at home so I can tell her how my day is going so far. "Hey Auri", she said when she picked up. "Hey Kenya what you doing? Kenya is like the realest friend anybody can ever have. She is my backbone and vice versa. She is shorter than me and has red fiery hair. We became bestfriends in the second grade and haven't been separated since. Well until I had to move. She is like the closest thing to a sister besides the one I have across the hall. I tell her all my problems and she give me the best advice. We have never fought and I am grateful for that.

"Nothing girl just got in from hanging with rick and them. "Oh yea how they doing? I questioned. "They fine just dumb but tell me what's up with D.C. Ugh Kenya I hate it here, I just want to come back down there. Girl you just got there give it some time I bet you will start to enjoy it. I hope so, you know I hate new things and this one right here tops the cake. Plus my lil sister urked me bad today when we went out to eat today. "She did? "How? "You know with her always getting her way. "I basically had to give my seat up so my mom could sit by her and you know they always give her, her way. "They need to stop that before be hell when she get older. "I know but they never listen to me so I don't care she wont be my problem in a year. Listen though I'm going to sleep that drive has got me tired I will call you tomorrow. Ok bye girl don't forget. I would never, Bye.
