This is a story about a girl...

           Have you ever been taken away from everything you knew? Well I have. My mom and step dad told me we were going to move (At the time i was living in South Africa) to the United States. My birth dad was not very happy about it, neither was I. My dad went to court because he didn't want his only children to be taken away from him again and I understood where he was coming from. After one year of fighting and screaming we finally got permission to move to the states. The next night  the whole family was at the airport, Cousins, friends, moms, dads, brothers, sisters. It hurt so much to leave. It wasn't just my heart that hurt but everything was aching. I left everything I knew, everything I loved. I was crying the whole plane ride to the states, all I could think of was when I said goodbye he put his sunglasses over his eyes covering up the tears that were about to come pouring out. I never saw my dad so upset before. It broke my heart all over again. When school started in Virginia, i wasn't excited at all, my first day of school was actually horrible but after a while i made friends and got closer and closer and started feeling like this was home. I started getting crushes and liking boys, boys started liking me. Everyday i still wished i was back home, my real home but i still managed to put on a half hearted smile. I went through a pretty rough time at such a young age but i think that kind of shaped me into who i am today. After awhile i started noticing my mom and step dad don't even have a job, we wanted to have a franchise for Menchie's but we could never find a location. We had to move again, can you believe it? i just started getting settled in started feeling like i belonged here and i had really close friends. Now i had to say good bye again. The following week after my mom told me we were moving i was figuring out a way to tell all my friends that i was leaving and had to say goodbye pretty soon. The one morning i just figured time was running out and i had to tell them so i met the in front of the school just before school started and i told them " You guys no i love you but there is something i have to tell you, at the end of this year i wont be back, i'm moving to florida" we all started crying but as the school year went on they started distancing there selves from me, i guess they thought it would hurt less if they weren't my friends anymore so i left Virginia alone. for the summer vacation we went back to south Africa, we all had a good time spent as much time together as possible but when we got to the airport to say goodbye my dad covered he's eyes with he's glasses again and i got that feeling where everything just hurt and i could even hold my self up anymore. When we got to Florida i was going through a hard time again, i just wanted to be left alone the whole time i didn't know why but i just wanted to be alone, i would lock my self up in my room and just lay there and look up at the roof. Once school started i had no choice but to make a few friends and so i did. Sabrina and Michelle we were all best friends and we were all new student so we didn't have anyone but each other but then the boy that Michelle loved, liked me and that ruined everything, the boy and i dated for 4 months (biggest mistake i ever made) i had no friends for the rest of the year but i still felt as if i had to tell them that i was moving to a different school, they didn't show any emotion so i though they just didn't care anymore and so i left the school a lone again. I am now no longer dating the boy, me Michelle and Sabrina are friends again, i have a good friend in the school i am in right now and i'm on my way to High school. I am so scared of High school there is gonna so much stress and we have to start thinking about out future but the future scares me, i don't want to go off to college i want to stay here in school. I know who my friends are, who i have to watch out for and to stay away from i have this whole school mapped out and when we have to leave none of that will matter. I know everyone says they are gonna stay in touch after High school but i know thats not true, i haven't heard from any of my friends in Virginia and its been a little over a year now none of my friends from south Africa hell i haven't even heard from my own step brother. Am i the only one?
