"Why can't I just stay in Florida while you're at work?" 16 year old Amy Dumas asked her mom.
"Because, Amy, it's a five hour drive and who knows what will happen to you there all alone." She replied.
"Yeah sure..." Amy muttered to herself.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing mom" said Amy and she turned away and fell asleep throughout the rest of the trip.
The Dumas family (Amy and her mom Christie) are on their way to Cameron, North Carolina to get away from the busy life they used to live and live into a quieter town. It took about 5 hours to finally get to their new home and Amy finally awoke.
"Good morning! You are one heck of a sleeper Amy Dumas." greeted Amy's mom.
"Mom, it's 3 in the afternoon." Amy said yawning.
Her mom just laughed, "Come on, we still have to unpack and clean and..."
"Yeah mom I get it" Amy interrupted.
"Good! Now get a move on" She said getting out of the car and unloading the trunk.
"Alright! Alright!" Amy said slowly getting out of the car.
Amy and her mom were unloading the trunk while the movers were carrying the furniture into their new home. Their house wasn't that big but it had enough room for all of their stuff.
"At least it looks homey." Amy said to her mom.
"Yeah, well, it was the best I can do. We can fix it up if you want." replied her mom.
"Hmm… ok!" Amy said tilting her head.
"You wanna do the redecorating?" Her mom asked smiling.
"Yup!" Amy smiled, "Can I go check out the town after unpacking?"
"Sure!" her mom replied. "Just be back for dinner and stay close, I don't want you getting lost on our first day here."
"Got it!" Amy replied.
