"Mom, why again are we leaving?",i asked my mom as i loaded another box of stuff, labeled kitchen, into the moving truck.
"Because i need a new job and there is a great, high paying one where we are moving",said my mom as she loaded some small boxes into the truck.
"You still haven't told me where we are moving to",i said to her as i walked up to my house, my old house.
"I told you it is a surprise",she said as she smiled at me.
"The place we are moving to is a surprise",i said."We must be moving to the moon or some other planet like...Mars. Yay, i get to be the first person on Mars. Yeppty freakin' do".
"Ha ha, very funny mister",my mom said sarcastically."We have two more boxes and your backpack then we can get going".
I nodded and headed inside to take one last look at my house. This was the longest we ever lived somewhere. We lived here for 6 and i fourth of a year. I was here for all of middle school, them my freshmen and sophomore years. I was one-fourth done with my junior year when i heard we were leaving. My mom didn't tell me where we were going just that she got a new job and it was far away from here. When i went to school here i had maybe one or two good friends but no one else. I was a loner most of the years, it didn't really bother me because i was one of the best sport players in the town and in the school and because of that a lot of people liked me and always said hi to me.
I looked down at me feet to see two boxes and my black backpack. I put my backpack on and picked up one of the boxes while my mom came in and got the other.
"I'm going to miss this place",i told her as we walked out of the house.
"I am to, this was a good place but we have to go. We have a long drive to get to where we are going",my mom said as she picked up the other box and started to walk outside with me.
My mom closed the door behind us, she picked up the box again and started to walk to the truck. We put the boxes in the back and closed the back of the truck. I then walked around the back of the truck and got into the passenger side while my mom got into the driver's seat.
"What will happen when we get there?",i asked her.
"Well, when we get to the airport there will be some guys that will take all of the stuff from the truck onto a plane and meet us at the place we are going",she said.
"How long is the airplane ride?"i asked her.
"About 5 hours",she said.
"What is the house like?",i asked her.
"You will see when we get there",she said as she turned onto the highway.
"Can you tell me anything about where we are going?",i asked.
"It is a small town in a state that has really weird weather",she told me."Now quit asking and wait till we get there".
I opened my backpack and pulled out my phone and earphones. I put my earphones on and started some music. I then leaned my head against the window and fell asleep.
(All of the places in the story are real and i had to look up some of them. By the way they started in California. The reason i didn't make fake places is because i couldn't think of any)
I was woken up by someone shaking me. I opened my eyes to see my mom.
"We are at the airport",said my mom.
I got out of the truck with my mom. I saw two guys walking towards us. They stopped right in front of us.
"We can take it from here",said one of them.
"Thank you for doing this",said my mom.
"No problem ma'am",said the other guy as my mom and i walked towards the airport.
When we got into the airport there were lots of people. My mom and i took a left up some escalators. At the top of the escalators was security. After going threw all of that we gave our tickets to a lady and got on the plane.
I got the window seat.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying Delta. Please fasten your seat belts and only unbuckle them when the captain says you can. We will be arriving in-",before i could hear the rest my mom covered my ears.
When she moved her hands away she said",Buckle your seat belt".
"You really don't want me to know where we are going",i said to her as i buckled my seat belt.
"I told you i want it to be a surprise",she said as the plane started to take off.
Once we were in the air i put my earphones on and closed my eyes thinking that in 5 hours i will see my new home and get to start over, again…
5 hours later
I woke up right when the plane landed. I grabbed my backpack and followed my mom out of the plane. As i exited i saw nothing that was different. I followed my mom through the airport.
"Where do we get our stuff?"i asked my mom.
"We will get the truck and all of that stuff outside"she said as we walked to some double doors. We walked outside into the cold weather, which i wasn't used to.
"Why is it so cold here?",i asked her.
"Like i said before the weather here is strange",we walked up to the moving truck as the two guys got out.
One of them handed my mom the keys to the car. We both got in the truck. My mom started the truck and drove out of the pick up area. As we left i saw a sign that said Des Moines International Airport. Where is Des Moines?
"Hey mom where is Des Moines?"i asked her.
"It is where we are right now",she said as she took a right onto the interstate.
"What state?",i asked her.
"Iowa",she answered.(The reason i picked Iowa is because not a lot of people think of that state so it would be cool, i guess)
"Iowa, really?",i asked her.
"Yep but we aren't staying in Des Moines. We are going to a small town outside of Des Moines",she said."It is about an hour away maybe less if there is no traffic".
Time Skip
We came up to a sign that had 3 flags behind it. The U.S.A. flag, Iowa's flag, and a...blue jay flag. Below all of that is said Perry, Make Yourself At Home.
"So we are living in Perry, Iowa?"i asked her.
"Yep. This place isn't that bad i don't think",she said as we took a right and went down the main street.
Once we reached our house, which was about a mile and a half away from the school. The house was two stories and white. I got out of the car and walked up to the house. I opened the door which was unlocked and walked inside. Right when you walk into the house you are in the kitchen. On the right was a staircase that lead upstairs and on the left was a door that i was pretty sure lead to the basement. I walked threw the kitchen to a doorway that lead to the living room. On my right in the living room was another staircase. I walked up the stairs. At the top of the stairs was a door right in front of me. On my left was 4 more rooms. I walked past two of them which was the big room and the bathroom. Past those rooms was one more bed room and then a door that lead to the attic. I walked into the second biggest bedroom that was in the house. I walked over to the window that was there and looked out it. Our back yard was pretty big. It had a cement slab that then had a pole on one side of it with a basketball hoop. Past that was just grass and a fence.
"Rollan come down here!"i heard my mom yell at me.
"Coming!"i yelled back down at her.
I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen."Mom where are you?"
"In the basement",i heard her say.
I looked at the door that was open. I walked down the stairs to the basement.
"Look at the basement",i heard my mom say.
The basement was pretty cool. It was like a living room that was down here. There was tons of space, two rooms, and a bathroom. There was even nice carpet and not cement.
"This is pretty cool",i said as my mom came out of one of the rooms.
"Well, what do you think of the house?"she asked me.
"It seems pretty good",i said.
"We better hurry up and get unpacked, you will start school tomorrow",my mom said.
"Yay",i said sarcastically.
The next chapter will be better than this one don't worry.
