This is all about me!=====

The Move By: Lindsay I really hate moving! Hi, I’m Lily. My sister, my mom, my dad, and I lived in California. My sister and I lived there our whole life. My dad got a new job in Michigan. He gets paid double. The place where my dad used to work was called G.M. Now he works at the J.D.I., which stands for Just Do It. I just made it into the popular group when my mom told me the “good” news. My mouth dropped to the ground. By the time I got home from school, my mom and dad had everything packed, except for my room. My mom said, “Go pack all your stuff in these boxes.” She pointed to five boxes, 3 big, two small. I looked at them and frowned but took them upstairs to my room, finding Coco, my puppy, in my bed sleeping. I gave him a kiss and started packing. It’s going to be a hard day telling my friends I’m moving, AGAIN! The next morning I woke up around 7:30 a.m. and walked down stairs to the kitchen. Coco, Kitty, and Jazzmen, my cat and dog, were all waiting at their food bowls. I stumbled into the garage, with my pets following. I turned around once I had their food. I put it in the corner with their totally empty water bowl. I watched as all three of them dug into their food. I picked up Kitty, Coco, and Jazzmen’s water bowl and put water in it from the sink. I put it down and slumped to the table as my mom came into the kitchen. She made me some pancakes and said, “Have a nice day.” “Are you going to clinical?” I asked. My mom’s a nurse and nurses do clinical. “Yep, like always!” She replied smiling. She walked out the door kissing Marissa and I. I looked down and saw to beautiful, brown eyes looking back at me. ”Sorry Coco I got to go to school now.” He started to wine so I patted him and stoked him gently. I grabbed my backpack when I heard the bus coming. I ran out the door and into the bus. //Today is going to be harsh!// I thought to myself. When I told my friends, Hannah, Erin, and Becca, they thought I was kidding but then they saw tears rolling down my cheeks. We all cried and cried. The tears felt like razor blades running down my cheeks. My principal, Mrs. Kirkwood, came running over to see what was wrong. I told her that I was moving. She hugged me tight and had my friends go to class. She took me to her office and talked until I felt better or at least a little. I went to class still feeling crummy. The last bell rang. I walked very slowly, wishing the day wouldn’t end or that I didn’t have to move. I slumped into a seat on the bus and waited for my friends. As they walked I noticed tears rolling down their cheeks. The next thing I knew, I was crying SO hard! People on the bus stared at us as if we were screaming louder then ten elephants “talking to each other”. We were home FINALLY! Hannah, Erin, and Becca used their cell phones to call their moms to tell them that they were at my house. Erin’s mom said she had to come home at 6:00, Becca’s mom said 8:30, and Hannah’s mom said she can spend the night. I was really excited! We all wanted a snack so we went to the kitchen. My mom was standing the making something. “Mom, what are you making?” “I’m making you and your friends some pizza. Are you girls hungry now? I’ll make you girls some snacks before I go to the store?” “That would be great but you’re making pizza, not ordering it?” “Well no, but your father is buying pizza. He’ll be home soon. When he gets home tell him I went to the store.” “Ok mom! Is Marissa home?” “Yeah but she’s going to go to do her tutoring job.” “Ok! See you in a little bit! Bye” I waved good bye and so did she. My friends and I sneaked to my room. We ate them quietly as we played clue. I heard my dad’s booming voice say “Hello?” We ran down stairs and into the kitchen. “Hi dad, how was work?” “Good, where’s your mom at?” asked my dad looking around. “She’s at the store. She said to take Marissa to her class.” I remarked looking at him. “What… Oh those classes!” he laughed. “Are you all packed? We need to be ready!” “Well don’t we have to sell our house first?” my friends looked at me very sad with tears in their eyes. “We already did! Here’s the pizza when you guys are……” We jumped to the pizza before my dad could finish his sentence. “Dad, I need to go to my classes now! I’m going to be late…AGAIN!” “Don’t raise your voice! We have time!” “Yeah five minutes dad!” “Ok gosh! Just giving the girls their pizza!” My dad and crabby sister left. “Come on guys! Let’s go outside and play!” “But I thought you can’t go out side when your mom, dad, or sister isn’t home?” Becca remarked. (not completed)
