"I don't understand how you can smile all day long but then cry yourself to sleep at night. How pictures can never change but the people in them do. How your best friend can become your worst enemy, or how strange it is when your worst enemy turns into your best friend. How forever turns into a few short months that you'd do almost anything to get back. How you can let go of something you once said you couldn't live without. How even though you know something is the best for you, it just hurts the same. How the people who once wanted to spend every second with you, think a few minutes of their time is too much to spare. How people make promises despite knowing how common it is for promises to be broken. How people can erase you from their lives just because it easier than working things out."
I close my book and set it on my desk top.
"Well that's depressing..." I hear a voice by my bedroom door, well technically its just a small cave opening but same thing.
"Mom! You should have hollered, I could have been changing my shells!" I say waving my hands all over.
"Hunny do I need to take you to a therapist?"
Huh?
Wait...
"Mom! I was reading my book! I didn't say that!"
"I'm pretty sure I heard you say it..."
"Mom you know I read out loud. That doesn't even relate to my life, its just depressing crap." I say while grabbing my book and putting it my drawer.
"I know, i'm just messing with you. On the serious note, you need to finish packing. Derek is done, we are waiting on you." She says giving me a stern look.
"I know mum, I just have my dresser left."
"You have five minutes, We will be packing up Cricket."
With a small nod she was out of my sight.

"Are we there yet?"
"Derek shut the hell up!"
"Language Ariana!" Mom yells.
I huff and swim farther from Derek.
"Aww you love me and you know it." Derek says hugging me from the side.
"First off, never. Second off you hair is in my face and I can't see!"
OK, I love him a little bit, just a little.
"My hair is beautiful and you know it." He dramatically flips his long brown hair the best he can. I mean its almost past his shoulders! He needs a large trim.
"It looks like a whale took a shi-"
"Ariana Grey Carson! What did I say about language!" Mom scolds me.
"Oh come on! You don't even know if I was going to say anything bad!"
She raises her eyebrows at me.
"OK even if I was going to, he started it!" I point at Derek who was now starring off in the distance humming an unfamiliar tune.
Seriously?
At least I got the last word.

"This looks similar to our old cave mum." I say.
"Exactly! Now start unloading. Aria you get the first room to your left and Derek your room is straight across."
After a hum of OK's we start unpacking.
I pause with a bag in my hand and turn to my mom.
"Uh Mum when will you start teaching me?" My whole life I have been home schooled because of my disability so my mum worried of me getting bullied but my brother just went to the closest public school.
"So I've been waiting to talk to you guys about that..." She reply a giving me a small smile.
Huh?
"OK what is it?"
"Wemovedheresoyoucangotopublicschoolwithyourbrother." She mumbles.
"Slow down mum!"
It took a good 5 second for her to break down the most shocking news of my life.
"Your going to public school."
