The Bombshell

The day started out great. The first lesson at school, in which I normally have the worst teacher ever, turned out a lot better then usual. We had a substitute teacher. We hardly did anything all lesson. The day carried on from there. At lunch they had my favourite meal, chicken wraps, on the menu. On the way home me, Megan, Vicki and Chloe (My best mates) had a laugh. Megan likes this lad from school adn he just so happens to walk home the same way we do. We were pretending to be spys following him and hiding behind trees. It was hilarious. When I get in from school I normally have the house to myself for a bit before my brother, Jacob, gets home. However when I got in mum was sat on the couch watching TV.

"Hi mum, What are you doing home?"

"Hiya hunny, Well me and your dad have some news. I won't tell you now. Wait till everyone is in."

"Your not pregnant are you?" I asked worried, looking at her stomach adn back to her face.

"Don't be silly dear. Of course I'm not pregnant. I can only just handle you two! Why would I want any more?"

"Then what is it then?" I never liked suprises and the suspence of this was killing me.

"I've told you! Wait till your dad and Jacob get home!" She said walking to the kitchen and starting to make tea. I tryed to calm down.I mean, What could be so bad? Someone in the family has died? Mum or dad have lost their job? That one can't have happened though as dad is still at work and mum is too happy to have lost her job. I wonder what it could be. I sat down and turned the TV over to my favourite music channel. I need to to stop thinking of all the bad things that could happen. Anyway, it could be good news.

Not long after I sat down dad and Jacob walked through the door. Mum came back through to the living room and we all sat on the couch.

"Will you please tell me what the news is?" I almost pleaded as mum and dad looked at each other.

"Well dear, You know how me and your dad don't really like living in the city but we do because there is no where else we could go."

"Well we have been looking on the internet," dad continued. "At some cottages down in Cornwall and we have found one that we really like. So we bought it."

"WHAT!! We are moving to Cornwall!" I almost screamed. "NO!"

"Now hunny, calm down. We know you don't want to leave your friends but think of the good points. You get your own bedroom and you can decorate it however you want. It's going to be a brand new start."

"But, we can't go! What about school? I'm startiing my GCSE's next month! You don't want to mess up my education!"

"Bella, You're a bright girl," dad said. "You'll easily catch up."

I could see then that there was no way I was going to win. I'm moving to Cornwall.
