MY DAY. MY LIFE.
By: Camille Santos
Chapter 1
Surprise!
Hi. My name is Camille Joanna Rose C. Santos. But I'm mostly called by Cam, Camz, or just Camille. I'm 11 years old and I will tell you a story, about the most dangerous yet hatred adventure I had 3 years ago.
It all started when I was eight years old, me and my family were all happy, no worries, blah blah blah…until my dad announced…
"We're moving to the Philippines!" my dad said excitedly
"Phil-a-what?" my 13 year old sister, Airiel, asked
"Philippines. It's where your mother and I were born." said my dad
Curiously, I asked, "What is in the Philippines?"
My mother walked in and said "Wonderful things! You'll get to see some of your papa's family and mine there too."
"When are we going to leave?" I asked
"On Monday" My father said
I counted the days. Today was Wednesday. 5 days. What about school?
"What about school? It's almost the end of the school year…we can't leave before the last day of school!" my sister said, as if reading my mind
"Don't worry we'll talk to your principals. They'll understand" said my mom
Excitedly, my mom and my dad went to sleep, since it was already late and it was a school night. My sister went to bed with an upset face. As I climbed in bed, I feared for the worst. Philippines? I never heard that name before. I hope the people are nice there. What if I don't make friends? I fell to sleep with a lot of thoughts on my mind.
