Boarding School

"I HATE MONDAYS!" I yelled in the middle of the street. I was going home from school with my best friend Makenna.

"Calm down miss grumpy pants!" She said with her sarcastic tone.

I laughed as I kept walking down the road, it was a cool fall afternoon. The wind was blowing my brown curls behind me, I smiled enjoying the cool air. We came to our street and turned down it, me and Makenna lived by each other so it really comes in handy a lot.

Today it wasn't normal at my house, there was a really big moving truck and boxes in both of our yards. We looked at each other and started running and saw two men pulling Makenna's dresser out if her house. We looked at all the labeled boxes, they all had our names on them.

"Chelsey! Makenna! I really need to talk to you for a moment" Makenna's mom told us. We walked over to my house to find my mom to add her into our conversation.

"Mom, what's going on? Why is my stuff and her stuff all over the yard" I said gesturing to me and makenna.

"Well that's just the thing girls. Jim and I got a job offer in England, we decided to take it. Chelsey, we didn't want you going to boarding school by yourself so we talked to Makenna's parents and decided to send both of you. You have to leave before us"

"B-b-boarding school? England?" I started to cry at the thought of leaving America, leaving my friends.

"Mom we are only 16 and you want us to go to England and go to boarding school and leave before you guys!?" I practically yelled

"You and makenna are smart girls, I know you can make it there safely and the school is going to pick you up at the airport" Makenna's mom said.

I started to cry because I didn't want to go, usually most girls would be excited to go. Was I the only one upset about this though? Makenna is happy as can be over there.

"OMG England and British boys and new experiences and England and British accents and.....BOYS!"

Well at least she was excited to go, I set my bag on the ground and went up to my room. My shoes clicked on the stairs as I went up. I came to my door and opened it, empty. My room was empty and there was nothing on my walls. I walked to my closet and found a pair of sweats and my favorite sweater to wear on the flights tomorrow.

I heard a truck engine start, i looked out my window to see the truck with all of our things in it drive away. I went back down stairs to find everyone talking.

"So I have their passports ready to go, their flight tickets are in the car and their suitcases are already in the trunk" I heard my mom say.

"What time? What time are we leaving for the airport" I said barely audible.

"Your flight is at 10 PM so we need to leave here in an hour because its a two hour drive" my mom said calmly.

I nodded and went to find makenna in her house. Why did she have to tell us that we have to leave the day we have to leave?

"Hey, how do you feel about this" Makenna said

"Well I don't quite know love but we are about to leave so let's go get in the car" I said with a British accent making us giggle.

The whole car ride to the airport was silent. Not one word was spoken, we all kept our thoughts to our self until we came to a stop. That's when I realized we were parked at the airport. Before I got out of the car I hurried and changed into my comfy clothes. I hopped out of the car and found my pink suit case waiting for me, it was a carry on size thank goodness now I won't have to worry about checking a bag.

We walked into the airport, there were people going all over in all directions. We came to security check and that's as far as our parents could go without a boarding pass. I came to tears as I hugged my parents and Makenna's parents bye, we went towards security check and I took one last look at everyone. I waved goodbye one last time and went forward taking off my shoes.

We came to the end of security and I couldn't see our family's anymore. I checked our tickets for the terminal number.

"Terminal 14 INT. Thats over in the international terminals....we need to take tram 4" I said with a tiny bit of excitement.

"Well how did you know exactly where to go smarty pants?" Makenna said sarcastically.

I pointed at the sign behind her, she just awkwardly laughed as we walked towards the tram. We got on and it took us straight to the international terminals. We pulled out our passports and started walking between the gates.

"10...11...12...13..14! I found it!" Makenna yells.

We find two seats next to each other and sat down, I stood back up again and reached in my pocket for money. Without saying anything I went and got a coffee from Starbucks and I went back to the gate. The lady at the stand announced that we are boarding in 10 minutes.

"Wow Chels, we really are going to England aren't we? This is going to be so weird. All the different things and time change is going to suck. And we have to sit next to a stranger" makenna said.

"DIBS! Just in case he's cute!" I yelled in response.

Before we could exchange any more words the lady came on announcing that we are now able to board. We gathered our things and started towards the gate. She checked our passports and we went though. The plane was huge and there were tons of seats, when we came across our seat we let out a sigh of relief. We were so tired, we stuffed our bags above us and fell into our seats.

Not too long after a curly haired boy with green eyes came and sat next to me. I looked at makenna and she gave me an approving look. I faced forward and he started to speak.

"So you two are headed to England huh? Are you moving there or headed there on a holiday?" He said with a British accent.

"We are actually moving there" I said a little more relaxed. He also looks our age so this shouldn't be so bad, right?

"We'll that's cool. My name is Harry just to let you know" he said with a warm smile.

"I'm Chelsey and this is my friend Makenna" I said pointing to her.

He smiled and then turned on his music. The plane started to move and before you knew it we were in the sky.

"Bye America" I mumbled quietly with a yawn, before you knew it I was fast asleep.
