Going Away Party

Ashanti

I told everyone I was leaving and they are all pretty bummed I loaded all my stuff into the truck and it is going to be sent to California it should be there on Wednesday. The week after that I will be going to my new school, I'm starting after winter break is over then when i get settled in make some friends and stuff I will start music. I took a shower and lotioned up, and got dressed then curled my hair. I wen downstairs and helped set up for the party. Then people began to show up music played tears were shed and hugs were given. It was fun tho I danced and ate and had just the best time after the last day I was going to have with my friends. The party ended at 5 and my family and friends were there we all got into two cars and we drove to the airport I abandoned all my winter clothes since it doesn't get that cold in California and only wore what I was wearing to the airport everything else was on its way to California. I actually am getting a new wardrobe too but i brought some of my spring clothes. I walked to where we were supposed to go to get onto the plane. I hugged my mother, father, brothers and sister and said I'd call everyday. Then I hugged Sanaa then Vicky after her I hugged her boyfriend Kentay. Last was Josh I hugged him really tight and then kissed him for a bit then my uncle said its time for us to go I pulled away and walked down the hallway on my way to the plane.

I knew after that moment my girlfriend and I broke up it was so hard for me to let her go but she had to leave. I didn't understand it if she loved me enough would she have stayed? Does she even love me?  Was this easy for her? These thoughts were overwhelming for me I got home angry and sad, when my mom saw me she gave me a hug even though I tried to break free from her grip but she wouldn't let me go she kissed my forehead and said it'll be alright. I started to tear up which is important because people don't see me cry since I don't like crying. I couldn't believe this happened to me of all people why me. Ashanti was the perfect girl for me how could I let his happen. I vow that I will never love another girl like Ashanti, but I will date again when I'm ready.

18 HOURS LATER

I got off the plane and it was 11 am I got to my uncle's house and it was huge. I went and picked out the biggest room that wasn't his own. We went and got some paint and other stuff for my room and we painted the ceiling first which we made pretty fun. Then we took a break and my uncle cooked lunch for us and it was delicious we were laughing and having a good time. The ceiling paint dried and we then painted the walls. Then we watched a movie and then set up my bed and bought some stuff to decorate my room. After we did that I laid in my bed and took a nap while my phone was on the charger. 

TWO DAYS LATER

I washed my face and brushed my teeth, then got dressed my uncle then took me to the mall where I bought my new clothes. Tomorrow my stuff is coming. I had about 5 big bags of clothes while my uncle held my sneakers and timberlands. After that I went back to the mall and got accessories and hats and everything else I needed and wanted. The car was filled with stuff and I sat it by the wall, and texted my friends and stuff. Then went to sleep and had to wake up early because my stuff was coming at 7:30. That morning I got dressed and the movers came and brought my stuff. After words I loaded my stuff into my closet and dresser and put my mirror up and my shelf for my hair stuff. Then I unpacked and out my books up and everything else, it took about three days for me yo completely unpack and it took hours and hours to finish everything. My room was finally done and I got on facetime with Josh we talked for hours and then I had to get ready to got o a school that I was going to be registered to. My uncle showed me how to get there by walking and I finally got the hang of some stuff.
