Being a senior in high-school felt amazing. Didn't have to worry about any school after you graduated unless you wanted to go to college of course, but you actually had a say in if you wanted to go or not.
As I made my way down the halls I lift my hand up in a wave to a few people as they pass. A smile was planted on my face as I felt relaxed. The first day always went buy rather calm mainly because it was getting to figure out what classes you would be stuck in and meeting the new teachers that taught them. I let out a small sigh and walked into my first class, English. My smile grew when my boyfriend came into view.

"Hey, baby," his sexy low voice called out. I let out a giggle and walk up to him quickly pecking his lips before taking the seat right next to his. After a few more minutes passed the teacher walks in with a pile of papers in his arms. He glanced up at us and his eyes fall on me specifically making my heart race a little bit. When he looks away I let out a small breath that I didn't know I was holding.

"I think we all know how this is going to go so I will get right into it. You'll be assigned a seat that you'll have for the rest of the year. If you have hearing or eye issues please let me know now before hand. Today ill let you sit where you want since its the first day."

A few kids groan here and there and before the teacher could start talking again the principal walks in making the whole class go dead silent. He looks at me as he gently says my name.

"Elizabeth may I see you in my office."

That was all he said before the class erupted with ooos which annoyed me to be honest. I didn't do anything to get into trouble so I really wasn't worried. He probably just messed up my schedule or something.
As I left the class room the principal started walking towards his office in silence. When we enter I found my parents standing there with nervous smiles plastered on their faces. Then the fear started too settle in. What exactly did I do to have my parents in the principals office. I swallowed a lump that had formed in my throat as my eyes traveled to a now seated principal. He let's out a sigh and gathers up a few papers.  

"So to get this straight you want me to transfer all her files to this school you have provided for me?" Chills ran down my spine and I was frozen in place at the principals words. 

"Wait what?" I asked in almost a whisper, but loud enough for the three adults to hear.
The principal looked at me slightly confused as if he thought I knew what was going on.

"Well hunny... surprise?" My mother more so asks than says. 

"Surprise?!" I bust out in a loud shout not really knowing how to react at this point.

"Hunny please don't shout like that. We didn't know how else to tell you because we knew you loved this school."

I grabbed a fist full of my own hair and take in a deep breath. My eyes shut tightly as I hold back a few tears threatening to spill.  

"You didn't give me any warning. Didn't prepare me. Did you really think telling me all of a sudden was going to be better? When do we even leave?" I say quietly as I try not to let the tears fall. I didn't want to cry in front of them. I didn't want to cry in general because maybe I would still live close enough to this school and it wouldn't be all to bad. I push the feeling down and look my father in the eyes.  

"We didn't want you to be upset knowing in advance. We wanted you to be happy until the moment we left which is actually going to be tonight.." My father says getting quieter towards the end.

My heart beat got faster and a sudden panic filled my whole body to the point I felt weak and couldn't even stand. As I'm about to go to my knees my father catches me in his arms. Then everything went black. That's how most of my panic attacked happened. Always felt the numbness right before everything went away until I woke up in some sort of bed or couch only this time I woke up in a moving car.
