The Move.

Hi, I'm names Annabelle. I'm in the eighth grade and I'm 13.

I live in Mebane, NC. It's possibly the smallest town ever.

I have long brown wavy hair, hazel eyes and I'm tall.

I have a dad, stepmom and a dog, Gizmo.

*********

Today was the last day of school before summer. I was so happy and excited.

I decided to wear something really cute since it was the last day and I thought I should go out with a bang.

I wore a maroon dress from American Eagle and some gold sandals. I wasn't big on makeup but I wore some mascara and shimmery gold eye shadow. I curled my hair until every piece was perfect, or so I thought.

I walked downstairs with my phone and waited at the door for my stepmom.

She always drove me to school, and she was always ready before me but not today.

I heard something coming from my dad's room and walked in, he was on the bed crying. I hated to see him cry.

"Daddy what's wrong?" I asked him, sitting down on beside him on the bed.

"Sweetheart Lisa left us," he breathed in hard. "I don't understand why, but I have to get you to school" he wiped his face and I hugged him.

"Dad, it's gonna be okay, I have an idea." I had dreamed of this moment forever. "We can start over," I said blankly to him.

"What do you mean?" He looked confused.

"We can move dad. You know I don't like it here and I know exactly where we can go."

"We'll talk about this later sweety, let's go." He said getting up from the bed and walking to the kitchen and grabbing his keys.

"Dad I know you won't want to move but I do, this is a chance for us to be happier than we are now." I told him as we got in the car.

* skipping car ride.*

"Bye dad, love you." I smiled and jumped out of his jeep.

*last day of school was like every other last day, it's boring.*

"Hey, what's up sis?" My dad said as I hopped in his jeep.

"Oh nothin," I said looking at my phone. I was on a real estate website. Looking at houses for us, but I didn't tell my dad that.

"So did you wanna talk about this whole idea of yours?" He asked anxiously.

"Yes! Ok dad I've got it all planned. First thing first, I was thinking we could move to... Alabama!" It was my dad's dream to live there because his favorite team was Roll Tide!(:

"Are you nuts!?" He sorda screamed.

"Dad, look I know what I'm doing, we can move to Troy. It's a little town but so much better than here. Can you at least thinks about?"

"I guess, are you hungry?" He asked. When am I not?

"Duhhh. Can I have Chickfala?" I asked sweetly.

"I guess, only because I wanted that too." He laughed.

* At home after eating. About 7:30 pm. *

"Hey sis come here!" My dad yelled from the kitchen.

"What do ya need daddy-o?"

"I have news.." He grinned at me.

"What is it!!?" I begged for him to speak.

"Well I talked to my boss and he said there was an office I could work at in... TROY!" He smiled at me.

Before I knew it I was smothering him with a hug.

"Oh my goodness dad!" I screamed

I decided to post on twitter that I was moving to Troy. I figured no one would see it but that's not what happened.

* Same night 10:30*

-Clays POV.

I was just scrolling through my twitter feed like usual and for some reason I stopped on a girls tweet..

It read, " OMG I'm moving to Troy AL! Im so excited.(:"

Hey, I live in Troy how ironic.

I decided to look at the girls profile. It was a very good decision.

She was so pretty and looked so nice and sweet, so I followed her and tweeted her.

"Hey I saw that your moving to Troy, we should meet up. In a non creepy way tho. (:"

I hoped she'd see it.

I plugged up my iPod and fell asleep.

*Right after Clay tweeted*

Annabelle's POV.

TWING

I grabbed my phone and saw I had a twitter notification.

It was from a boy named Clay. He tweeted and followed me.

I favorited the tweet because I thought it was sweet.

I decided to message him.

"Hi Clay(: thanks for the tweet. I'm really excited to move to Troy. I moving to a neighborhood called Castlewood. Have you heard of it?

We should hang when I get there lol. Ttyl(:"

I followed him back noticing his profile pic.

Wow was he fine!? I'm such a weirdo.

I decided to go to sleep, so I plugged in my phone and turned off the lights.
