The school year has flown by so fast. The rest of the school year was filled with sports. I played basketball, swimming, and track. It was more difficult in the spring cause I swam and did track at the same time, but i made it work. The worst part though that  I had no time the whole school year to try looking for my birth mother, but I am determined now to find her. It is the last day of finals and I will have the whole summer to look for her. The hard part is I have no idea where to start! I hope that I can find her by the time summer is over, but I have my doubts.

 "Only one more class left!" I said to Jay. “And we already took the final in that class, so it should go by fast... I hope."

"Yep... I know!" Jay said. “So do you know what you’re going to do about the mom thing? You kept putting it off the whole year, so what are you going to do now?"

"I am thinking about going and staying with my brother for a while... Until school starts again," I told him nervously. "And I will start looking for her there."

“Are you going to tell him?"

 “That I’m adopted? Yes I think so..." I said looking at the walls of the hallway we were sitting in while waiting for the bell to ring.

"Well then... I'm going with you," he said.

"Wha..." He interrupted me mid-word.

"I said that I was coming with you! You need someone to be there when you tell him because it is going to be hard to do. I'm also the only one who knows, so I have to be there!"

"You don't have to do that," I told him. But I am secretly glad that he hopefuly comes with me. I hate even being separated from him anymore because he's the only one who knows what i really am and i can truly be myself around him.

"I know but you ARE my best friend and that's what best friends do for each other. They are always there for you."

"Rrrrrrring" the bell sounded.

"We'll talk about this more later!" I told him.

"Okay," he said while starting to walk to his last class.

  In my French 3 class I was playing poker. I wasn't texting Jay because he is taking his final. I don't think that the class could go by any slower. All I can think about is how I have to ask my mom if I can go visit/live with Seth for the summer. I hope she says yes!

"Buzz," my phone vibrated.

I looked down at it and it was Jay. The message said," All done with finals! No matter what I am going with you! Even if i have to stowaway in your car! When are you going to ask your parents?"

 "As soon as I get home," I texted back. “What about u?”

A few moments pasted then he replied, " Ok then me too!"

 "Okay! I g2g the bells going to ring so I will meet up with you at my car. "

 I walked out to my car and there he was waiting for me. He is the best guy in the whole world, and I looked into his eyes and know that I will love him forever whether we are friends or not.  I said, "Hey you."

 He turned around and was smiling big. Then he said, “Hi."

 "Do you want me to drive you home first, and we could meet up later or something?"

"Yah... So we are going to leave tomorrow?"

 "Yep."

"Okay, let’s go!" He replied.

I dropped him at his house and went home. I'm now waiting for my mom to get home from work.

 I hear the door open and run down the stairs into the kitchen. I see my mom and say, "Hhhhhhhhhi mom! How was your day?"

"It was good no one died. So how was your last day of school?" She asked.

 "Well that's real good! And school was good I had P.E. and French so I only had one final." I said then getting to the point, "So, I was wondering if I could drive up and stay with Seth for a while." I smiled big.

"No and no way are you going to drive all the way up to Oregon all by yourself," she yelled angrily. When she yelled it suprized me because she never yell at us... Well except the times that Seth snuck out and came back most likely no sober.

"But Mom, Jay's going to be with me and I won't be alone!"

She continued yelling, “The answer is still no! I don't want you and your, your boyfriend to go all the way to Oregon to do who knows what!"

 I said softly, "He's not my boyfriend..."

"Okay... it just seems like it because you have been hardly been apart this whole year! But the answer us still no," she said more gentile.

"Listen to me please. I have been through so much the last few months and I really need a break. All I want to do is go up to visit my brother with my best friend and relax. I just need to get away from here. And I have never done anything to make you not trust me. Look at how many times he has slept over here or I over at his house we have never done anything! So please trust me when I tell you that there is nothing going on with me and Jay other than us being good friends. And really all I want to do is visit Seth and relax. Please." I pleeded. It was mostly all true.

 "Mmmmmm..."

 "Please!"

 She breathed in heavy and hesitated for a second, “Okay... But I want you to call me or text me as often as possiable and please just be careful, okay! So when would you leave?"

“Tomorrow, if it's okay with you."

 "Okay." Then she walked up the stairs and into her room.
