"WHAT?!?!!!" I screamed at my mother.

"I DONT WANT TO MOVE!" I said again.

"Riley I'm sorry. We cant live here forever.We have to get out of this horrid town."

"BUT MOM ALL OF MY FRIENDS ARE HERE!!" I yell at her.

I can't believe she really wants me to leave my two best friends.

"Look Riley" she said to me. "I know that you dont want to leave your friends. But I I already quit my job here and I have one California. And were going to live on the beach!"

" Mom I don't even know how to swim and look at how pale I am!"I said to her.

"I will be an out cast there mom!"

"Riles our flight leaves in the morning. Why don't you go and pack the rest of your things so we can get on the plane?"

With I sigh I say " I'm really going to miss my friends here"

As I walked up stairs to my room I started to pack the rest of my stuff into a suit case and went to sleep.

The next morning I get my three suit cases and put them into the trunk of the car. I put my headphones in the hole of my iPhone, and turn up 'legend' by drake.

Walking into the air port was bad but getting into the plane is even worse. I can feel my heart sinking into the pit of my stomach as I see my hometown getting smaller and smaller.

What's even worse is that I'm sitting next to a smelly lady and in front of a kid that won't shut the fuck up.

Even though it's great to see my mom happy and everything I can't help but feel as though there is a hole somewhere in my heart. Not only that but I'm also nervous. Deciding there is no point in staying awake on this boring plane ride I go to sleep.

After I get off the plane my legs feel completely jellified and everyone is staring at me funny. I feel so insecure about everything that I'm doing. The way I walk, talk, and smell. No I'm not saying that I stink but I'm just insecure about it. DONT JUDGE ME OKAY!

Walking through the air port is okay but as soon as my foot hits the California pavement I'm burning up. Sweat is pouring down my Face and I can just feel the dehydration crawling up my throught and into my mouth. I feel like I'm spongebob in that one episode when he meets sandy for the first time.

Water! I need water!

Yup, that's exactly how my mouth feels right now.

We finally got into our rented car and we drove to our new house.

I'm not gonna lie it's huge. A lot bigger than our old house. But I can't spend slot of time dwelling on the fact that our house is so big. I have to get something to drink before my mouth becomes a Desert!

After running down random hallways, tripping on the carpet, falling down stairs and going in to random rooms I finally found the kitchen. Without thinking I run towards the refrigerator looking for something to drink, then realizing that there is no food or drinks.

Again without thinking I run towards the cabinet thinking that there will be a cup so I can get some water from the faucet and realizing  that we haven't unpacked anything yet.

The realization settled into the pit of my stomach. This cannot be happening. The world is ending. Everyone run for the hills! This is a tragedy!
