Chapter 1

I looked around my room one last time before I had to leave. I walked to my now empty closet and sighed. This is it, I'm moving. All the memories I had in this room are here and in my heart. Mostly here because some of those memories I want to forget in order to move on.

I remember coming up here for the first time, I was grumpy as hell. It was the first time I saw my new house. The time I first moved here. God I used to hate this place it was so ghetto and dirty. After awhile I got used to it though. But we all now Pawtucket will never change.

With its terrible schools, gangs, fights, and such. It's not all that bad as people say it is. I mean you just have to stay clear of those types of people who cause trouble. Which we all did, my dad, mom, Sofi, and I. I was kinda worried for the safety of my little sister, but she didn't care much I means she's only 8. Well we don't have to worry about that soon, Miami here we come.

I particularly hate the idea of this move. I got by here in Rhode Island. I was semi-popular and people loved me. I was captain of my soccer and basketball team at school. There was nothing really special about Rhode Island, well for me anyways. School was okay and I was pretty comfortable here. I mean I made a lot of friends here. Yes, I have a lot of friends here, do I plan on keeping in touch with them? No, but they definitely weren't planing on doing that either. I mean they're nice and all, but I don't see our friendships going that far. There is one person I plan on keeping in touch with though, Kani.

God, I'm going to miss her. I remember all the times we had fun in this very room. Fun indeed it was, I smirk. I mean we have been together for a year now. She's my girlfriend and I plan to keep it that way for awhile even though I am moving. I met her in middle school, she was mesmerizing. She is Puerto Rican, Cape Verdean, and some type of Asian. With her big brown eyes, and semi long straight hair cut into layers. Her light brown tan skin complemented her eyes. She was on everyone's mind. I mean you should just see her, oh and her butt, OH MY-

"Camila! Are you ready to go?" My mom snaps me out of my perverted thoughts. I closed the door to my room and walked down the stairs.

"Are we gonna go by everyone's house to say goodbye?" I ask. And by everyone I mean, my Aunts, Sofi's friends and Kani's house. Like I said I plan on cutting off my "friends". She nods half way out the door. I see Sofi running after her. "Where's dad?" I question.

"Oh, your father is already at your Aunt Liza's house, saying his goodbyes." She stated. "You know how much your father is going to miss seeing his family." I nod. My dad's side of the family lives here in Rhode Island, while my mom's live in Miami, Florida. I put my last bag in the car and headed towards the passenger door.

"Camila, Camila! Aren't you gonna say bye to the house?" I hear my sister yell. I sigh and take her into my arms lifting her off the ground. I nod my head.

"Are you going to miss it here Sofi?" I ask. She shrugs, and looks back at the house in thought. Her little nose scrunches up.

"I don't know, Mommy said Miami is really nice. Will you miss it Mila?" She looks at me. I thought about it. I know that Rhode Island isn't anything like Miami but I will miss it. Well I'll miss Kani.

"Yes, I'll miss it here Sofi. I'll miss Kani. Won't you miss grandpa? How bout all your little friends?" I question. She nods her head. I squeeze her a little. My mom gets into the car and starts the engine.

"Come on girls we have stuff to do!" I hear my mother shout from the open window of her car. I put Sofi down and hold her hand. She starts to walk away but I pull her back.

"Aren't you going to say bye to the house Sofi?" I raise my eyebrow. She looks at me then at the house. She waves her little hand back and forth vigorously.
