"Hey mom, I am going to the mall with Cala. I will be back in probably about two to three hours."
"Okay honey be safe. "
"Yeah, yeah, and I know stay away from the strangers."
"That's my girl."
"Bye mom"
"Bye sweety."
I grab my keys off of the counter and i begin to head out the door. But before I leave I grab around two hundred dollars and stick it into my wallet. I open the door, the alarm sounds saying "Front door open.", and "Front door closed." as I walk outside and into my car. I get into my jeep wrangler that currently has the roof and doors off and I start the engine. I go to pick up Cala from her house and then we head to the mall.
"So, what's new with life?" Cala asked me.
"Nothing much. Just been practicing for gymnastics the usual, staying healthy and all."
"Ohh yeah, so what do you plan on getting at the mall?"
"Well of course i'm going to get my victoria secret shirts, adidas shits and pants and the shoes, go to rue twenty one, and of course i need to go to charlotte russe to get some high waisted jeans."
"Oh, so the usual."
"Well duh." I chuckle.
"Are you going to go to practice tonight."
"Why wouldn't I?"
"I don't know."
We both exit the car and walk into the mall I immediately go and spend one hundred and twenty-five of my dollars. I gave Cala fifty dollars and I bought us both lunch then we left the mall and I stopped by Cala's house so she can get her stuff for practice and so she can gather her stuff for the trampoline park that we will be going to after we get ready at my house. Once we are done getting ready we head to the trampoline park, and we head inside and begin stretches.

"Grace you should totally do your roundoff back handspring back tuck."
"I can try but you know how that keeps turning out, I keep falling out of the tuck."
"Practice makes perfect."
"Of course mother."
After the trampoline park I drive Cala and I to gymnastics normally I am there from 12 in the afternoon to 6 at night every day except for Saturday and Sunday. Today is Friday. Once we get done with practice I take Cala home, and I drive myself home. I walk inside to find mom and Cade sitting on the couch like they were just waiting for me to come home so they could tell me something that i could tell by their facial expressions was a big deal.
"What's wrong with y'all." I say as I throw my keys sliding across the counter.
"You are going to need to sit down for this."
"No you can just tell me I need to get in the shower I am supposed to meet up with Cala tomorrow for extra practice at the trampoline park."
"You are not going to the park you are packing."
"What do you mean "I am packing?"
"I am so sorry to tell you this but we have to leave Virginia and move to Kansas."
"You mean I have to leave Cala?" I start to say as my voice cracks and silent tears roll down my face.
"Look it's for the best."
"Why?"
"Well I got a new job in Kansas, and you need to pack your stuff tonight I already put boxes in your room for you to put your belongings in the moving truck will be here tomorrow to get the boxes and big stuff. Make sure you put most of your clothes in your suite case."
"Okay." Is all I can choke out.
I make my way down the hall and straight to my room. I look around at all the memories. All the pain. Maybe this is a good thing that I am moving to Kansas. This will give me a fresh start. Or it will just give me more pain. I don't even bother texting Cala and telling her I am leaving it will most likely just hurt her worst. Like hey your best friend is moving TOMORROW!!! I slowly begin to remove the clothes and put into my suite case. I then take the clothes I set aside and I get into the shower. Once I get out of the shower I put my clothes in the washer and and begin washing them so I won't have clothes to wash at the new house well except for the clothes that I am wearing to bed (which will be the same clothes I will be wearing in the car ride). I head back into my room and I find a medium sized book-bag. I place my earbuds, rose gold beats, my makeup bag (which is a pretty decent size), hairbrush, wallet that consists of fifty dollars, chap stick, my ring-light for phone, and my extra phone case and pop-socket. I put my suite case, book-bag, and my penny board by my bedroom door for me to put into my car in the morning. I start packing the rest of my stuff into boxes and i take apart me bed. I push all of my empty furniture up against one wall and I have my mattress against another wall near an outlet so i can be near my phone while it charges. My phone is plugged up to the charger. My converse that complete my outfit stand next to the door with my bags. I text my mom since I am to lazy to get up and I ask her what time the crew will be here to get our stuff. She texted back saying at 7:30 am and that we need to be out the door by 8:30. It's a long ride from Virginia to Kansas. I just hope the house we move into is big and pretty and I hope i will buy a trampoline. I set my alarm and I slowly drift off to sleep.
