,,That's fucking 11 thousand kilometers". I screamed in horror. ,,yes but we need this money". Said mom. ,,but but... here is all we have our family, my friends, my school , Mom our life is here. And if someone asks me where is your home I say Chicago and not Seoul. I guess that will never change because Chicago is and will be my home". ,, honey , yeah I know everything is here. Do you honestly think I'm so keen on moving?" We continued talking but when she left I just threw myself on my bed and snuggled into my pillows. This year only had 2 months and I wanted it to end.

The next morning I got up with a headache from racking my brain with dads words the hole night. I went down to the kitchen and saw my parents there. I just wanted a headache pill and some water. After that I would go straight back to my bed and wish that none of this had happen but my plans changed when my dad started to speak ,,we should look at apartments in Seoul". He said to mom. ,,wait what? We are seriously moving back into an apartment even though we had been looking for a house for so long?". ,,Good Morning sweetheart, in Seoul there are apartments that... how should I put it... are built like houses. So you also have a staircase in the Apartment and large rooms, only there is a stairwell and neighbors." I didn't say anything after that but I thought to myself ,,wow esra you waited for a house for 2 years, you moved in here when you were 13 and now when you are 16 , you have to leave it again".

When I got back upstairs, I took the tablet and sorted my bookshelf afterwards. There were two reasons for this: 1.whenever I am stressed or annoyed, I do it. And 2.It was time for it again.

When I reached the middle of my Spotify playlist and my bookshelf only needed a little redesign , my phone rang. Tara called , my best friend. When I saw her name on my display it occurred to me that I would have to tell her that and then leave her. I felt sick at the thought.
