"Avalon! You need to get ready for school or you're going to be late!" These were always the first words I heard from my mom every morning. So, I got up and got dressed. On my way to school, I saw my best friend Anastasia. "Hey Ana! Its almost winter break. That means it's almost Christmas!" "That's right! Christmas is my favorite holiday!" "Oh look, it's Maddy." "Hey Maddy!" I said pretending to be pleased to see her. I don't know what it is about her, but she's just mean. Anastasia likes her though, so I just play along.

We finally got to school, then the bell rang. Ana and I both have Spanish first hour. Our teacher hates us so much. I think it's because all we do is talk to each other. I have an A in that class anyway.

"You should ask your mom to take us to lunch" Ana suggested. "Okay, I'll text her. Right now." So I texted her:
-Me: hey mom! Can you take Ana and I out to lunch today?
-Mom: what are your grades right now?
-Me: all "A's" and one "B".
-Mom: yeah sure. I'll be there at 11:25.
-Me: Thank you!

When lunch came, I found Ana and we went to the front office to get called out. My mom showed up at 11:25, as she had said, and checked us out to go to lunch.

We drove up to the sandwich place down the street. As we were eating, my mom looked a little scared. I asked her if she was okay. "Avalon, your dad just told me this morning that he is being relocated for his job."
