Cat from the woods

The move

Hello my name is Alice Cheshire and I am 8 years old with blue eyes and blonde hair. I love dresses and I'm pretty smart too. My brother, Lucas Cheshire, on the other hand loves video games, his friends, and girls! His is a good older brother though, anytime I was getting bullied he would scare them away saying he is 4 years older that me. Today we got up and started packing the heavy boxes into the moving van, today is the day we finally leave for good. I grab a breakfast bar and headed out the door when Lucas called to me " Alice where are you going mom said I have to go with you to say goodbye." I sighed and went back inside. I sat down smoothing out my ruffled dress on the only chair that was not packed up yet. After a few minutes I grew impatient and yelled " Lucas I will leave without you if you don't hurry up!" He came hopping down the stairs looking a little agitated, he slipped his blue converses and opened the door for me like he was ready the whole time. I got up and straighten the bow on my headband. Once we set out to say goodbye I pulled Lucas to Sophie's first. I knocked on the door and hid behind Lucas when I saw Morgan coming. He was her older brother and my brothers friend so I just waited for them to do their weird guy thing and I ducted between them and headed for Sophie's room. It was huge and pink and had many trophies, she was very athletic and I would miss her. I found her at her desk making me a farewell card. I poked her shoulder and she jumped a little. Her face lit up as so as she realized it was me. She jumped up and hugged me. She then handed me a present with a purple bow and the pretty card she was working on. I gave her a big hug and opened it. It was a aquarium colored journal. " I love it, I will write in it everyday thank you!" I spouted. " it's nothing really just I know how much you love to write. I hope you like the color I had Morgan help me pick it out." She stated. " no it's great I love the color, actually it's my favorite color."  Soon after I heard Lucas call my name " Alice it's time to go, mom is getting worried" I sighed and gave Sophie a big hug. " I will text you everyday day I promise." I said sadly, I hated moving because every time I make a friend we move. I walked down the hall to where my brother was waiting and slowly walked out of the door. We walked home in silence, like normal. My brother didn't talk to me much but I knew he cared and that was enough for me. We got into the car and waved goodbye to the house that we would never see again. Once we were on the highway I pulled out my book. I read for about 3 hours before finishing my book. It had a great plot but ended pretty bad. I grabbed a blanket and curled up passing out within minutes.
