Two more days till I leave for Barrow. It's my dad's favourite city as he grew up there.

Living in California, Barrow is my worst nightmare. I remember spending my childhood there with my grandparents. Apparently, I am the only one in history known to spend the summer in one of the coldest city in U.S! So yay me!

The only factor that kept me from running back to my home was my grandparents. They were cool just like my dad and I was free from my mom.
My mom has always been a strict person that I barely want to spend time with her.

It was just two months ago when my dad told me and mom that he got a transfer to Barrow. I could still picture the horror on our faces as he dropped this horrifying news. I guess dad was a little disappointed with our responses. Even though he never revealed it, I knew that he was.

I honestly don't want to leave this city. It's been my favourite forever even though I haven't been to a lot of places. I could feel tears flowing down my cheeks when I think of leaving my best friend.

Aimee has been my best friend since the age of four. We are 16 now and still our friendship feels good as new. I met her at the nearest park. Apparently I am not one of those people who gets into a group and talk like I've known them since forever. Aimee is just like me. We have each other. Always and forever. A little too late to realize if it's forever or not!

It didn't take her long enough to cry over all the time we spent together. I don't know if I will ever find a friend at my soon to be home, but none of them could ever give me the friendship I share with her.

I let myself fall on my bed thinking through all the happy and sad moments I spent here. Would it be different the next time I think of it?
Will I miss California and the warmth of this place?

Only one way to figure out
