One Step Closer

Moved

Rosalie*

The wind is blowing hard, the bushes are rustling, the windows are creaking. This place seems like a ghost town.But of course it isn't. It is actually a village. A famous village where famous people live when they we're young. My mom saw this in a magazine and thought we should live there. If you thought that I was with my mom on this I was not I was totally against this. But my mom don't care what I think. She would buy anything without thinking about the consequences. I really wished we didn't move.

"Mom are you sure we aren't lost" I said annoyed "Of course we aren't lost.....I think"

"YOU MEAN YOU DON"T KNOW!!" I shouted

"How should know?" her mom said confused

I can't believe this is happening. As usual my mom is lost,she always get us lost when we move. Where are we anyway.

I took my phone and see what time it is. It looked like it was 6:00 or something. And maybe call someone to pick us up. Cause it seems like we are lost.

" Gosh " I said super pissed off

" What's wrong Rose "

" No signal at this place "

" Don't worry we're near our new house. " said her mom confidently

New house? I think haunted house, every house here looks like someone died in them. The windows are broken, the doors' locks are broken and there's no light at any of the houses. I wish our house doesn't look like the rest.

I just want to sleep and wish that I'm on my comfy bed. Everything around me started to blur.

I woke up when the car started to slow down and my mom told me something, the only thing I heard is "..... here " said my mom confidently. I yawned and sat up straight " Mom what was that " I said yawning. " We're here......look out your window "

I did what my mom said to me, I look at my window and saw a huge house. Its walls painted peach. Its roof painted dark blue. It looked none like the houses in the neighborhood. It look like the famous people lived in the house we'll live in.

My mom stop in front of the house we'll live in, she said something to me but I didn't listen. All I did is go outside the car and ran in front of the house to open the door. As I open the door I ran upstairs to see my room. I stopped at the room with a pink door and see if that was my room. But then someone caught my hand. I felt frozen, I coudn't feel my body. But I use all my strength and turn. It was just my mom. I gave a sigh of relief.

" Didn't you heard me " mom said

" Sorry mom I wasn't listening " I admitted

" I said help me unpack all the boxes " mom turned and went downstairs to get the boxes " Aren't you coming "

" Coming! "

Before I went downstairs, I went inside my room. As I went in I saw my bed,my dresser and all my stuff in there. I was excited to sleep but my mom is calling me again I have no choice.

I ran downstairs so my mom could stop calling me. I saw mountains of boxes on the floor. How come I didn't saw this when I ran inside?

" How come there are a lot of boxes? " I asked

My mom was sitting down and unpacking " Old books, Some documents and old clothes. Could you see what's inside those boxes. "

I took the box and open it, inside was old shoes. I took another box and open it, inside was documents that my mom saved. I keep on opening boxes until I found something that interested me. A box full of albums, but before I open it my mom tooked the album and the box away.

" Mom,why don't you want me to see that album? " I asked

" C-cau-se ... I need to put the boxes upstairs now. "

" Can I see what's in that album? "

" Um, maybe later I really need to put the boxes upstairs so it won't be cramped down here " My mom turned and went upstairs.

" Okay, hey mom can I go around the neighborhood? "

" Huh? S-sure but go here before 6:00 "

" Okay " I went to get my bag and ran to go out.
