"Well there goes the new dinner plates mom bought this morning." I said to myself as I hear them being thrown about downstairs from my room. I needed an escape from the bickering and the arguing as well as reality so I grabbed my earphones off my bed side table and played sugarcult until the arguments were just another noise.

The next thing I remember was my mom in my room opening my curtains. The light flooded in. I found myself burying my head into my pillow

"Get out, I'm trying to sleep." My voice croaked

"No Emma get up! We need to go before your dad gets back from work."

I sat up, my hair sticking up in every direction, and looked at my mom trying to comprehend the words she had just said.

"Go where?" I questioned.

"San Diego with grandma. Now do me a favour and get up and pack up your room."

Then it hit me.

"WHAT! WERE MOVING!" I shrieked while turning my head to check the clock.

It said 4:30AM

Oh hell no

"No I'm not moving till at least six." I said as i lay back down.

I felt a rush of cold; my mom had taken my covers off me.

" my plan is to spend as little time packing as possible so you getting out of bed would be a good way to start." She turned on her heal and walked out the room.

Though I loathed the thought of being awake at this time in the morning, I retrieved the boxes from under my bed and began to pack.

As i packed my things my mom began to yell at me as time was getting on and we needed to go.

When we got to grandmas it had suddenly sunk in that i may never see my father again...

Did he miss me?

What about school?

I lay on the sofa with my feet against the back rest and my head dangling off the edge staring blankly at the empty TV...

I was suddenly snapped out of my trance, my mom's upside-down face came into focus.

"Everything okay?" she uttered

Those words bothered me ... no I wasn't ok she just split me from my father , took me from 103 miles away from any friends I had ever made and she's expecting me to be fine with it.

"Yeah I'm okay." I paused and looked at her "what about school?"

Don't worry me and your grandma have transferred you to a school a few blocks from here. Think its called mission bay high school." She pulled me in for a comforting hug.

"Thanks I guess" I replied just to be nice but even I could the tone of mild anger in my voice. I got up from the sofa and walked away without another word being spoken,

In 3 days I'd be the new girl.
