New Girl

Tomorrow was the day,the day I'm supposed to leave everything and everyone I've ever known behind and start a new life. I wasn't looking forward to it at all. I hate change and I hate the heat that's gonna be there. I have everything packed up that were allowed to take. A moving van came and got the bigger things yesterday and is driving to our new home that I still know nothing about.

I have 4 big boxes that I need to shove in my mom's car for when we leave to the airport. The airport now let's you ship boxes of clothes to your destination so we have a few to ship, mostly mine because I own so much. 3 boxes are full of my black clothes and the other is the black clothes with some color. As you can tell, I like black clothes more than anything. We the technically leave tonight since our flight is at 1 but we have to get there early for the boxes and to go through all the security stuff. All of my friends are coming and it makes me happy that our goodbye will be right before I go, just so its more memorable.

It's noon right now and I put my boxes in the back of mom's car, as I was coming in I had to stop right before the porch and take it in. I could see through the Windows at the empty bedrooms and kitchen. Memories flowed through my head of good times spent here. My eyes watered and I smiled and headed back into my empty home.

I decided to just go on a little walk since it was nice outside and I needed a little break from it all. I put in my ear buds and put on blink 182 and walked down the street. I'm gonna miss cali and the weather here and my friends and home. I'm not gonna be able to make friends in  Aussie, I'm a weird "goth" kid. That's what people would call me because I wear too much black I guess. It didn't bother me. But the thought of being alone in a place and school I didn't know, made me upset. I've never been good at making a good introduction to people and it truly sucks.

By now I'm a few blocks away from my house and I decided to stop by this cute little garden store. I looked around seeing if i could find any little plant I could give to Dakotah, she loves plants. She has a cute little window sill filled with tiny plants outside her bedroom window. They're actually pretty cute. I was looking at the cute little cactus' because I knew she didn't have any. There was all different shapes and sized. One made me laugh because it looked like a funny body part. I picked up a baby cactus that was literally almost a circle and I fell in love. Yes I fell in love with a tiny cute cactus. I decide I'd get that and put it in a little tea cup thing with some dirt. I browsed around the store looking at the little pots and there was actually one that looked like a tea cup. I squealed which caused some people to look over at me. My cheeks grew with a red blush. I picked the light purple one and went to the check out, I only had my emergency credit card but my mom won't care if I tell her it was a goodbye gift. The nice cashier smiled at me and said hello while he ringed up my plant and it's pot. "Seth" Is what his name tag said. The total came out to $12.37 which wasn't bad at all. I grabbed my bag and said thank you to Seth and exited the store to make my way back home.

I made it home with lots of time to spare. I wandered around my house looking for my mother to show her the cute stuff I bought. She was in the office packing the last box of pictures.

"Hey mom look what I bought for Dakotah"

I bent down and showed her.

"Very cute sweetie, are you gonna put it in the tea cup though?"

It totally slipped my mind that I should do that so I'm glad she said that. I nodded and said I should probably go do that.

I headed to my back yard to do this just in case it gets messy. I set the tea cup down and slowly took the cactus out of its flimsy container and set it inside the tea cup. I grabbed some extra gardening dirt that was in the bag by the garage. I packed it tight and was happy with the outcome. I headed back inside and to my room with just a bed and a desk. I grabbed out my phone to text kotah to coke over now just so I don't have to give her a cactus at the airport.

"Head over I have something for you" I hit send and waited for a reply.

"Be there in 20"  I received from her shortly after.

I opened the door for her and brought her to my room. Surely she would see it since it was the only thing in my room. I was right because as soon as we walked in she gasped and said "a new one for my little collection outside!!" With a squeal. I nodded and smiled. She held onto it like it was a child. She didn't stay for too long because my mom and brother wanted to have on more dinner here at the dining table we weren't taking with us.

We ate spaghetti on paper plates with plastic forks. Pasta will always be my one true love.

We finished and through our garbage away outside in the dumpster.

"Kids, it's almost time to head to the airport. We have an hour"
