Today is the day... We're moving out, for real. I'm sad. I will leave my friends that never weird-ed out by who I am. It's not my fault I'm childish. It's not my fault I'm short and stupid. I just want to be with my teddy all the time. Though I do have 23 cute and cuddly teddy bears and I can't cuddle with them all!!

"Honey, prepare your things," my mommy shouted. Oh, wait! I forgot my chocolates in school! What will happen to it? It's Saturday and no one's at school due to the recent news of someone doing the deed in one of the classrooms. Talk about having some respect. Anyway, the chocolate will be melted by the time someone found it. But right now, I really don't care because of the constant banging on my room. "Clara wake up," my down-to-earth brother shouted. Note the sarcasm. He's with different girls every night or maybe it was every hour?

"Coming," I shouted back. After hours and hours of packing my stuff and hugging my teddy bears. "See you soon," I said to my teddy bears. It's not like I will leave them, It's just that I need to put them into a box and see them hours later. I feel sad about doing such a cruel thing to them! They're my stuffie army, the ones who protect me against monsters at night and listens to my stories and plays house with me. I rushed downstairs and out to the front door. There I saw my parents and brother putting stacks of boxes into the back of the van.

The ride was very fast considering the town we were to live was just an hour away.
 And if we consider Dad's driving skills, yeah... We're in there only minutes away. "Honey, when we get there I want you to fix everything alright? No lazy people in the house okay?" Mommy asked me to which I replied with a simple yes. Soon, darkness and kittens were all I see and I was fast asleep. When we arrived at the town which was very creepy I might add, since there was not a single soul you can see roaming the streets and was very silent. The only sound you can hear was the engine drumming. Big brother was still asleep with his headphones on his ears while mommy was busy reapplying her makeup.

We did arrive at the new house we're gonna live in for awhile until Mommy found a good job and Dad found someone to babysit me. Honestly, I think they should stop finding work when all we needed was with us. My stuffies, my blanket, mommy, dad, big brother and even more stuffies... Well, I guess we still need more money for food and school stuff. Snapping out of my conversation with myself, I started fixing my things and as soon as I was done I was fast asleep.
