Moving On

Moving On Part 2

I stared out the window and the rain as it bounced off the black tarmac.The grey clouds blocked the sun, and although it was midday everything was dull. America. It actually wasn't a joke. Mum was marrying John and there was nothing i could do about it. We were leaving Leeds, my friends, my home and i was helpless. When i first found out, i was so shocked i didn't move, the only thing that was going through my head was mum's words , echoing repeatedly in my ears. "we're moving to America, we're moving to America..." Again and again. i paniced that night , thinking about my life here. I;d have to start all over again. The new Brit kid .

However as the weeks went on, i realised how a new start wouldn't be so bad. Over here everything was fake, from the girls to the clothes they wore. People just pretended they liked you because those were the rules. But everyone knew people were secretly backstabbers. And i soon came to realise the only thing about Leeds i would miss was Emily. She was the only person i knew cared about me, i knew she were true. I was planning on telling Emily two months ago when i heard, but whenever i saw her smiling face i couldnt. How could i? -

" Miss Scotts?" i heard a voice shout from a distance. Suddenly, i zoned back into reality and saw the classes eyes looking back at me . Oh no, just act yourself."

"Yes miss?" i replied dazily.

"When you decide to wake up, i would like to stand up and explain to the class and i why you haven't got your tie, honestly Kaitlin, don't you know the school rules.?" miss Crow squeaked . Her blotchy red face looked as it was about to explode. she hated me and i loved tormenting her. The class awaited my genius reply, and seeing as i was down in the dumps, miss crow had just changed my mood.

"Well miss- i believe we should be able to wear what we want and how we want. Tie's are a health hazzard, i mean you could die, people could get strangled, and you don;t want to be the cause of us lovely children dying do you?" i said innocently . The classroom was filled with "ooohs" as the children waited for Missc Crow's reply , but before she could open her mouth the bell rang and in seconds we were out .

As i walked towards Emily's class, a pair of hands snaked round my waist. Harry.

"Hey babe, that was hilarious! did you see Crow's face?" he laughed crazily hugging me close, his strong aftershave stung my eyes.

i replyed with a smile, before he kissed me roughly with his lips. Other girls would have loved to be in my position, and i would gladly give it to them. He began moving his hands up my shirt, Oh no. I pushed him away roughly and stared angrily at him.

"what the hell harry!" i said fuming.

"Kaitlin, we've been gong out for two months, its not like i was trying to get you in bed, we'll do that in a few weeks" he said laughing. Yuk what a sleaze.

"i can't go out with you," i said as he tried pulling me back into a wet kiss. suddenly he jumped back , anger firing in his eyes. "no one ever dumps Harry Stone" people always said.

"What the fuck Kaitlin? YOUR dumping me? Why? he said shaking his head. he obviously wasn't used to this. Damn, had i really hurt his feelings?

"i'm - i'm m-moving" i whispered. the sound of students in the corridor obviously blocked the noise as Harry looked at me and mouthed ,"WHAT" to me.

"Im moving harry" i shouteed over the kids. he laughed then hugged me close again. he obviously didn't understand what i meant, pulling back i shouted,

"I'M MOVING TO AMERICA!" he stared in shock slowly began walking away into the crowd. Great, at least he was off my chest. As i turned around to walk away, i saw Emily looking at me, horrified. She hadn't heard anything had she?

"Emm? you alright?" i said waving a hand in her blank looking face. Crap.

"y-your moving to America?" she whispered as we stood in the now silent corridor. She knew about John, my mum's american husband to be.

"yeah, i was meant to tell you bu- "

"save it Kaitlin, you go without telling me it's fine, some friend" and with that she walked off angrily. We'd never fought like that before, had i really just lost my best friend?

As i left school that day, the word of me leaving had spread. people kepyt walking up to me asking me the same question , and i answered with the same three letter word. Yes. It was going to happen one day anyway. The teachers knew but the whole school was another thing. Rushing out the school gates, i ran onto the bus. Finally, i was free.

I tried ringing Emily constantly that night but she wouldn't answer. So i decided to text her.

'Em , y wont u answer? im really sorry but how could i tell you? your my best m8 and i didnt no how 2 break it 2 u, please ring me im really sorry'

5 minutes later she rang. I explained everytihng to her, and after tears and laughter she understood, like always. After an hour on the phone, i decided to talk to my new stepbrother adam from California. Id seen him twice , and he was HOT! blonde shaggy hair and blue crystal eyes. He made me laugh so much, and with him being my age, i had grown to get along with him easily. I logged on to Facebook and began chatting:

ME: Hey adam :)

Adam: Kaitlin, you okay?

Me: yup, prettty rough day today but i guess its okay now, yours?

Adam: It was good , i got onto the soccer team, believe me once your here next year i cant wait to cream you at it.

Me: its called FOOTBALL :) and yeah yeah we'll see . 3 months now! :S

Adam : Dont worry, you've got me and the schools huge, youl make friends in no time :)

Me: If you say so :/ well i'm off here see you soon, coming over in two weeks! bye x

Adam: i know see you then ! cya dude!

Laughing to myself i shut the computer and got into my bed . Things were going to be okay .
