I know that it's short, but it will grow, very, very slowly. The whole
story's almost done. Yay! PLEASE REVIEW!!

Moving On
"But mom, why do we have to move in the middle of the school year?" Lizzie complained to her uncooperative mother. "Because your father can only get this job now, and he can't any other time. It's a one-time-offer." Jo McGuire, Lizzie's mother replied. Lizzie stormed out of the room, up the stairs, into her bedroom and slammed the door rather loudly behind her. I bet that Miranda and Gordo's parents would never move halfway through the school year, Lizzie thought as she lay on her bed. I wish that my parents were more like theirs...

"Hey guys, I'm glad that you're here, guys," Lizzie greeted her friends as they sat down. "I have something very important to say to you guys. I - I'm.moving." Lizzie suppressed a laugh at the look on her friends' faces. "You're joking, right?" Miranda asked. "Why???" was Gordo's response. "No, I'm not joking, and I'm moving because my dad got a job in downtown Seattle. He says that its unavoidable, and he'd be earning twice as much as he does here. I have to leave," Lizzie explained. "Well, we'll really miss you, and we'll send you two emails a day," Miranda comforted Lizzie. "OK and I'll send you guys three," Lizzie replied.

"I can't believe that this is your last day here," Miranda said softly. The three of them were sitting in the Digital Bean, sipping on cokes. "I know, I mean, you've lived here your whole life. Now you're moving to a completely different state. It must be so weird." Gordo added. All three of them sighed loudly. "Well, it can't be that bad, can it?" Miranda sighed again. "I mean, Ethan's been to Seattle, and 'Agent Cody Banks' took place there.so, everybody has heard of it, even people down in Canada, so-" "Canada is north, Miranda" Gordo corrected her. Miranda shot him a very nasty look. Lizzie broke the silence. "Hey, I've got to get home and finish packing. Wanna help, guys?" "Sure!" Both Miranda and Gordo said in unison.

Dear Diary,
I'm on a plane on the way to Seattle. I can't believe that we're almost there. I wonder what Miranda and Gordo are doing now. they're probably celebrating me leaving. Or maybe they're moaning over the empty space next to them at the Digital Bean and the school cafeteria. I heard the principal, Mr. Twitty, talking on the phone to somebody on Thursday: "Yes, Mrs. Luke, there is a spot for your daughter at the school, and as a matter of fact, one of our students is leaving tomorrow so Jenny can have her locker, and the seat in that class. Yes, it is a weird coincidence, isn't it, Mrs. Luke? Yes, we will be anxiously awaiting Jenny's arrival on Monday. Please be sure that she brings in her admission papers, please, Mrs. Luke. Well, goodbye now, Mrs. Luke, I will see you Monday morning... goodbye." And he hung up the phone. So that means that tomorrow will be Jenny Luke's first day at MY school in MY class and will be decorating MY locker. I just hate to see everybody forget about me so quickly.
