When my parents told me I was going to a new school, I was voluminously shocked. Why did I even have to go to a new school? I liked the school I was in now. Though, there are some changes I would make, but, still. I was comfortable in the school I was in. There had to be a perfectly good reason why I had to transfer schools. Where was this school anyway? Hopefully it wasn't all the way around the other side of the world.

"Mom," I complained for the billionth time. "Why do I have to go to a new school?"

My mom, Lori sighed and said, "Dave, should we tell her?"

Dave, my dad, turned from washing the dishes to face her and shrugged.

Lori sighed again. "I... don't think we should tell you now. You should wait until you get there."

"Lori, did you also mention this isn't some school you go to, and come home at night?" Dave asked.

Lori put her hand on her forhead. "No... I didn't."

Then it hit me. "Your sending me to a boarding school!?"

"Veronica, please don't overreact," Lori said putting both of her hands in the air. "I think once your comfortable in the new school, you'll want to stay there. You can always call me on my cell phone. I always have it on me. Your dad does too. You have my work number."

"That's not the point!" I basically screamed. "What about me? I don't even know how to tell my friends about this! I have to say bye to them?"

"Veronica-"

"Why didn't you ask me first before you signed me up, or whatever you did to get me in there? You never even asked me first!"

Lori ran a hand through her golden-blonde hair.

"I can't believe this!" I yelled as I stormed up to my room.

I closed my bedroom door behind me furiously. Okay, so now I was moving to a new boarding school which I don't even know where it is. I have to say bye to my friends, and have to pack my things. I didn't even know when I was going either, which they should have told me. It wasn't like I was leaving tomorrow- right?

I guess I should start packing now. I walked torwards my closet and slid open the door to the right. I always kept my traveling bag in the left hand side corner. I crawled over my stuff, and my hand was pinched by something sharp. I made a soft "ugh" sound and lifted my hand up to my face so I could see what it was.

No, I wasn't bleeding - which was good. I looked on the ground and realized that it was a pen I let my hand fall on. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my blue traveling bag. I got out of my closet, and slid the door closed. I put the blue traveling bag on my bed and zipped it open. Something... smelt funny. What was it?

I examined the inside of it, then I found what it was. I slowly lifted it up in the air. Ugh! Gross! I don't even remember the last time when I washed or wore these socks. I quick;y threw it in the laundry. Just when I thought I was along for a few minutes, there was a knock on the door. I wonder who it could be this time.

"Veronica?"

I sighed. It was my mother.

"Lori?" I replied, with an attitude.

She turned the doorknob and opened the door. I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"Veronica, I was wondering if-" She sniffed the air. "What's that smell?"

"Just some nasty socks that were in my traveling bag."

"Oh..." Lori took the body spray that was on my dresser and sprayed the room with it as she talked. "I was wondering if you would like to go shopping for school clothes. We can get some stuff from Hollister, if you'd like. The mall isn't very far."
I shrugged. "Sure."

"Okay," Lori put the body spray back on the dresser. "Meet me back downstairs when your ready."

I nodded, as she shut the door behind her. She sprayed way too much of that body spray, I thought as I started choking.

Atleast it smells good now.

I bought ten shirts from Hollister, that fit me perfectly. I was amazed myself. I loved the designs on them though. One of the shirts were white and showed two coconuts hanging from a Palm Tree. A few inches away from that tree, was also another Palm Tree, with a hammock connected to both of them. It actually looks prettier than explaining.

We walked passed a jewellery store, and I peeked in. I did need some jewellery, now that I think about it.

"Can we stop in here for a second?" I asked.

Lori nodded and waited at the door for me.

I walked in, and spotted a red pearled necklace that I thought was beautiful. I picked it up. The price wasn't even expensive. I couldn't leave it behind.

"Got everything you wanted?" Lori asked as I walked out of the jewellery store.

"Yeah."

--

Lori helped me pack my bag. I put all my new clothes in it, including the pearled necklace. How could I leave it behind?

"Your all set," Lori said.

I nodded. "Yeah."

My mom left the room, and now I was here... alone. Gave me some time to think about the new school. Won't I have one more day at the school I went to now? This was all just too much. I wanted to know why I had to go to a new school. But, why couldn't I go to a public one I had now? I had to go to a boarding school. Was that supposed to be a hint?

I was so tired. Could barely keep my eyes open.

A/N: What did you think ? Heh. It was Okay.
