“Joana.. we’ve got something to tell you, “ my mom said in a sad tone.

“yes, mom? Go on..”

“its like this… We.. have to move out of this country.” My jaw dropped.

“WHAT?!?! NO WAY! LONDON IS BEAUTIFUL, MOM! I DON’T WANNA LEAVE!!!” I yelled on my mom.

“Look, dear. Your dad’s office was moved to a city named Oklahoma in United States, we have to move, dear..” my mom explained.

“Oklahoma? Really, mom?” I replied in disbelief.

“yes, Joana.. I know you wanted to go there so badly and your dad’s boss told him to pick a state. I suggested him to move to Edmond, Oklahoma. He told his boss about it and he agreed. So yeah, we will move there in two weeks.”

“seriously ,mom?!?! She would just fangirl all day if we move to Oklahoma! Her so-called boyfriend lives there!” my brother, Josh, said.

“if I picked New Jersey, she would totally complain to me all day and asked me to move to Oklahoma. It’d just be the same thing,” my mom replied. I was satisfied with my mom’s answer.

“but what about school, mom? What about Delia?” I cried. Suddenly, everyone stopped talking.

“I.. I don’t wanna leave her,” I said.

“sorry, dear. Decision was made. We can do nothing,” my mom apologized. Well, maybe I cant see her physical body but we can do a skype chat, right? We can tweet each other too..

I sighed. “I guess its okay.. we can do a skype chat, right?”

“yes!” my mom said. This is why I love her. She’s so updated and loves to tell us jokes. She’s like the most updated mom in the world!

I sneak out of the living room and headed to my room. I dialed Delia’s number and call her.

“yes, Joana? Miss me already?” she said.

“HAHAHAHAHA. VERY FUNNY, DELIA. But I’ve got to admit it. Yes, kinda..”

“hahaha! I knew it! No, seriously. Why did you call me?” she asked.

“umm.. I’ve got something to tell you,” I said.

“go ahead!” she said in a happy tone.

“please don’t be mad at me. Please. I didn’t wanna leave you too but I have too!”

“What do you mean? Tell me all, ok?” she said in a lower tone.

“umm.. its like this. My dad’s office was moved to the US-”

“US?!?! SO YOU’RE MOVING TO US?!?! Why?!?! You didn’t like it here? You hate London? Why, Joana? Did someone tease you because you’re Asian and you told your dad to move? Did I do something wrong that made you move? Tell me, Joana!” she screamed.

“LOOK! I’m sorry, ok! I didn’t want to too but my dad’s office was moved! Blame it! And no, I love London so much! And nobody teased me cause I’m Asian and you did no wrong!” I yelled. She stopped talking, its like she’s digesting my words.

“where will you move, Joana?” she said while crying.

“sshhh.. don’t cry, Delia. I’ll move to Oklahoma. We can’t still skype and tweet, right?” I tried to cheer her up.

“but I can’t tease you anymore! I can’t hug you!” she cried even more.

“Maybe I can visit you on summer or maybe you could visit me on summer?” I suggested.

“but things won’t be the same! You wont be with me during school time and weekends!”

“but we can skype-”

“EVERYTHING WOULDN’T BE THE SAME , JOANA!” she hung up.

Joana’s POV

Ugh. This girl is so hard headed! I didn’t move cause I’m Asian -_- Yeah , I’m Asian. I was born in England but both my dad and my mom are Chinese. My dad is half chinese-australian while my mom is pure Chinese. They lived in China and moved to Indonesia right after their marriage. But I understand Delia. If I were here ,I’d totally be mad! So mad! 

Ugh. We have only 2 weeks left before we leave and I’m not sure Delia would ever talk to me again. Anger is controlling her! I should talk to her tomorrow, I must. This move can't be the ending of our friendship.
