"Oh my god! Mom, you can't be serious?! I won't go! You can't make me!" Violet ran up to her room and slammed the door. Hard.

"Well, that went well." Mr. Stephens voice dripped with sarcasm. "Maybe we shouldn't force her like that."

"We're going to move in two weeks," came the reply of Mrs. Stephens. "She has to understand what we're going through."

"Just give her time, Ashley. She'll come around," sighed Mr. Stephens, massaging her tensed shoulders. "It's not as if she has any another choice."

"What if she runs away?" panicked Mrs. Stephens, looking at her husband frantically. "What if she goes on strike or something? I'm scared, Michael."

Mr. Stephens just gave another long sigh before standing up.

"We should head to bed. It's late and I have work tomorrow. We'll think of something by tomorrow, I promise."

"There isn't much time left. We have to think of something fast."

"Well, what do you have in mind?"

Mrs. Stephens seems to be lost in her thought for a while. "I know just what to do," she said with a twinkle in her warm hazel eyes.

Violet's PoV

'Why do my parents have to make that decision without consulting me first?' I cried into my faithful pillow. 'I'm their daughter, for Merlin's sake!' I punched my mattress angrily while tears clouded my vision.

'It's not fair. Everything's not fair including the damn decision. I should have a say in it BEFORE they gave the final word. God, parents are so unpredictable!'

I must have cried myself to sleep because I woke up to find my mother gentle waking me up.

"Violet dear, we need to talk. I'm sorry, I tried knocking the door but you didn't answer me so I let myself in." My mom sat her self on the edge of my bed.

"Umm, it's okay mom. What did you want to talk to me about?" I leaned on the headboard of the bed, watching my mother intently. 'Let's see what she has to say.'

"I know it's hard for you to leave your friends and all…" My mom shifted uneasily on my bed, her eyes never leaving mine.

'What is she on about? Is she trying to persuade me or something? Should I tell her it's not working? I don't eat sweet words from anyone, including my parents. I never have and never will.'

"Mom…" I began. "If you're trying what I think you're trying, I think it's not going to work."

"Just let me have a say, please," my mom replied with a nervous yet warm smile. I love that caring smile but now is not the time to get all-soft. I want justice right now!

"What about ME mom?" I shouted angrily. "Why didn't I have a say in this? You could have at least told me about it FIRST before making the final decision. I might just agree! I'm not a baby! I'm a big girl now! Hell, I'm a sixteen-year-old TEENAGER!"

"I know, honey," sighed mom. " But the odds of you in favor with us are not too big. We had to make the decision first. You're a big girl, surely you'd understand."

"I am a big girl and all I understand is that you forced me to move without consulting me first! That's what I understand!"

'Oh my god! I shouted at my mom. This can't be good.' I can feel my face go flustered and scarlet. 'I'm so ashamed of myself. I shouldn't have shouted at mom no matter how mad I am. God, I hate myself!'

The room was in an uncomfortable silence. Mom looked like she was at the verge of tears. I could hear a few sniffs from her. I felt so bad.

"Mom, I'm sorry for shouting at you. It's just.." I'm going all soft now.

"It's okay, dear. I understand what you're going through." Mom dried a few tears in her eyes.

"My mom and dad used to do this to me too but I finally gave in and moved with them. I wouldn't have met your father and gotten such a wonderful daughter if I resisted." She got up from her side of the bed and came to sit next to me. She pulled my hands gently into her own.

"I just wanted you to know that sometimes moving isn't that bad. You get to see new people and get new friends but never forget your old ones here in New York. Once you see your new school, I know you'll like it. You have my word on that, I promise." She gave me a hug and kissed me on my forehead.

I sigh a deep sigh. I can't believe that mom actually knocked some sense into me. I know she was telling the truth but the thought of leaving New York and all my friends is just killing me.

"Well, what do you say, dear? Are you coming with us?" Mom's eyes were filled of hope. I just can't hurt her by saying no. Gods, I am going soft!

"Fine, I'll go with you." Mom gave me a bone crushing hug and a huge smile. That made me feel good. "But before we move, can I have a farewell party with my friends?" It's my time to look at her with hopeful eyes.

"Anything you say sweetheart as long as you pack you stuff first and clean your room. Is that okay with you dear?"

"Fine by me. Thanks mom, you're the best!"

"I'm sure I am. Go to sleep now, it's already past midnight and you have school tomorrow." After tucking me in, she kissed my forehead and said goodnight. Tomorrow is going to be interesting, very interesting.

With the last thought, I fell into a deep sleep with dreams about my new school.

End PoV

After breakfast the next day, Violet made her way slowly to school. Even though she was a witch, she still went to a muggle school and has loads of muggle friends. Her best friends were Brittany, Mary, April, Kathy and Samantha, Sam for short. All of them were cheerleaders and were always the top in their class. All of Violets friends are beautiful and intelligent.

Violet however is the best among them all. She was the most beautiful one in the group. She has straight black hair, light brown eyes, and a clear and flawless complexion. Her body curves in all the right places and she is even the popular girl of her school not to mention a great cheerleader captain. She gets attention from every boy in her school but no one actually gets her attention. She is much more interested in studying, cheerleader practice, sports and hanging out with her best friends at the mall or somewhere else.

"Hey Violet! Wait up!" April called to her from across the street.

"Hey April. Come on, well be late if we don't hurry." April crossed the street and joined Violet. Sensing some one missing, she questioned April. "Umm, where's Kathy? Isn't she supposed to be with you?"

"Yeah, but she called me this morning and told me that Jason was going to pick her up. She told me to go to school first."

"I see. Well, actually, I need to tell you guys something. Can we all meet under the tree in the park after school? It's kinda important."

"Sure, I'll tell them if I see them. If not, we can just meet at lunch and you can tell them yourself."

"Okay, I'll see you at lunch okay?"

"Okay. Bye Violet."

"Bye April." After waving goodbye to her friend, Violet hurried off to her locker and got her books for her next class, History.

School seems to be taking forever today. Violet told all her friends to meet her under the tree in the park at 4 p.m. She needed to tell them that she's moving soon even though she's not really that trilled about the idea. She's the first to arrive because she wanted to think about what to say to her friends.

At 4 p.m. sharp, all five of her friends came. They greeted each other with their secret handshake and sat down around Violet, eager to listen to what she had to say.

Clearing her throat, Violet began.

"Hey, girls. I have something really important to tell you. I hope you don't feel bad or anything. What I wanted to say is…" she took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I'm moving to England next week."
