Jamaican Princess

Jamaican princess

       

I was reciting my lines for the drama production play I was doing for school, The Wizard Of Oz, I was to be Dorothy. Then I heard a knocking on my door, it was my step-mom she looked sad, her face was gloomy and it made my room suddenly dark.

She explained that I was leaving school,Greenwood high in Florida, to go to a high school in Jamaica. She also said that we were migrating to Kingston,Jamaica

       I was traumatized I couldn't believe we were leaving I was stunned... I was more than stunned. I was speechless. Although I liked my grandparents in Jamaica I didn't want to leave my school in Florida and my new friends. My step-mom left after that and she said we were leaving next week and I should think of a high school I wanted to go to in Kingston . I immediately thought of  Cambridge High School For Girls. That's were my best friend, Shanelle, in Jamaica was going .

The next day when I went back to school I broke the news to friends. They were shocked, more shocked than I was yesterday in my room.

They were so upset i didn't know what to say to them. After school I texted my mom to pick me up in an   at Cool Catz cafe with my friends. While we walked   everyone was so quiet.

It was freaking me out and when I went to the cafe I made a lame excuse that I need to go to the bathroom

  " Excuse me I need to go check on my erm .......toenails."

It was weird because they gave me a weird look on their face. As soon I  them I ran straight to last bathroom and broke down in tears then as I reached out to get the tissue. I guess I yanked it too hard because the whole tissue came of and I was buried in tissue which made me cry even more.

Soon Ruth and Iqra came in. "I wonder where she is" asked Iqra "She's probably in the last bathroom, only Chelsea would use so much tissue" replied Ruth .

         

I chuckled at the last bit and I guess they found out it was me. They  peered in the bathroom stall and  saw me on the ground sobbing like a zombie bride . They came in and cuddled me and told me quotes that I would tell them when they were down. We were in there for about 20 minutes. Then they convinced me  to come out because my mom would come for me in about half an hour. When I looked at myself in the mirror I looked hideous, my face was stained with tears and my shirt was wet

We talked for the rest of the half an hour and then we suddenly realized that it was basically the last time we were going to see each other. However Ruth and Iqra did promise to try and make it to the airport to say good bye. We were all sad but we had to make fun out of the little time we had. When my mom came we did our big group bear hug and then I left leaving tears in my eyes

After the few short days   with packing and  everything going on we only had 1day left in Florida I went shopping I bought clothes,shoes and back to school items. On the day to leave,on Monday, I woke up at 5:00 and we left at 8:00 to get to the airport to leave at 11:00. Luckily I saw my two bffs for the last time. I hugged both of them tightly and said goodbye.

We boarded the flight and we had a 2 hour flight all the way to Jamaica. It was long but fun I was sitting next a girl about my age and we talked about different things and it was nice to talk to someone that was in my age group. We both feel asleep ad then I talked to my friends on Skype afterwards in a group chat.
