I opened the car door and got out. Today was the day that my parents, brother and I were having our “farewell” party at school. To be honest, saying goodbye to my friends was the only thing that I wasn’t thinking about. I was so stressed that whenever someone said my name, I jumped up in surprise. I was definitely not in the mood for partying.

“Dionne.” my mother whispered to me as we left the car park. I was really not in the mood for listening to whatever she had to say to me but listened anyway.

“I just want you to know that I am proud of you.” she continued, “Even though you didn’t want to move, you took the news really well. Just to make us happy!”

I smiled at her, hoping that she wouldn’t realize it was a fake one. What she said definitely started to make me think twice about my plan. I was starting to feel tension in my chest and the guilt building up inside of me. My mother was not going to be proud of me when she found out what Lauren and I are planning to do this afternoon!

“Oh, and Dionne. There’s something I really need to tell you something about moving to Lovelake...”

I leaned in, intrigued to find out what she wanted to say. Whatever it was, I'm sure that it was important.

“Your father is actually-...” she was interrupted by my loud teacher, Ms.Lens.

“Dionne! Lucy! How are you, little darlings?” she exclaimed as she rushed over to us.

“Ms.Lens, we’re just fine, thank you. Actually, we were just talking about moving to Lovelake...” I could sense that they were about to have a long conversation, so I slipped away while I could. Most of my classmates were huddled around the snack table, eating as many sweets as they could at once. I don’t think that they were all there to say goodbye to me. They were probably just happy to miss maths.

I searched the corridor for Lauren to try and tell her that I wasn’t ready to put our plan into action. Was I making the wrong decision? I really wanted to find out what my mother wanted to tell me. Besides, I was feeling so guilty about my plan that I just couldn’t bring myself to break my parents’ hearts.

Where is she? I thought to myself. Lauren was nowhere to be seen. I had looked everywhere, I guess that the only thing that had slipped my mind was that maybe while I had slipped away to look for her, Lauren had gone to start our plan. And that was exactly what had happened.

I hadn’t thought of that, at that point. Actually, I was almost completely convinced that Lauren hadn’t turned up. I only realized where she really was when I heard a loud voice coming from the auditorium.

“....do you really want your children to live in a place so cruel and scary? What do you think teachers? If you were Mrs. Lane, would you want your children to leave their safe home and move to Lovelake? Leaving all of her friends...her school...her home!” Lauren was talking into the microphone to almost a hundred students, six teachers, the principal and (worst of all) my parents.

I put my hand over my mouth in absolute amazement. I looked around the spacious room and at everyones’ faces. They were all shocked. Their mouths were open, some of them shaking their heads in disagreement. Then I looked over at my parents. My mother was close to tears and my father had an angry look on his face. I had done something truly horrible and I didn’t know how to fix it. I couldn’t fix it. I was so shocked that I didn’t realize that Lauren was still on the stage, telling everyone about Lovelake and what a horrible place it was.

“....So you can’t move! You just can’t! Everyone who agrees with me raise your voice!” she called. I could tell that she was willing to continue until my parents changed their minds.

“Lauren! Stop!” I screamed across the auditorium. She hadn't followed our plan at all.

My classmates glared and shook their heads at me. And my parents looked at me in disappointment and shame. What had I done?

"Alright, back to class everyone!" Ms. Jade, our principal said in a stern and worried voice. I could see her scold Lauren and tell her to get off of the stage. Great, she was going to get into trouble because of me. I would have felt really bad but I was too puzzled and confused about what was going to happen to me that I didn't even bother to say sorry as she walked past me and out of the door. I had made a big mistake. Moving was a private matter, what I had done was completely wrong and selfish. I guess that there are just some things that you don't say out loud.

I ran up to my parents to try and explain myself but they completely ignored me. I tried everthing I could to make them listen but they just wouldn't. It was hopeless.

"Dionne. Get in the car. We'll talk about this at home." my mother said in a stern voice.

When we got home, my parents rushed inside and sat down in the sitting room. Feeling guilty, I sat down on the sofa beside them.

"What were you thinking? Embarrassing us like that infront of everyone! And getting your best friend to do it for you!" my father shouted angrily. "Was it to difficult to see us happy?"

"No!" I said, pleading forgiveness.

"Enough!" my mother shouted,"I've had enough of you! Dionne, what you did was selfish and wrong. Grow up! We are moving and that's the end of that!"

"But mum, what Lauren said was true! There is something about Lovelake that is...-"

But it was no use. They wouldn't listen to me. They were too ashamed of me. We were definitely moving...to Lovelake.
