Ch.2 - Moving to South Park
AN: Heey guys. Sorry I took so damn long for this chapter. I was just really depressed because of a lot of things lately. There was also a lot of Schoolwork for me to do. It won't happen again and if it will then I'll inform you about it at the bottom of the latest chapter. I'll also respond to the reviews I get there. I'm gonna try to post a chapter every week or two. Hope you can forgive me for letting you wait so long and enjoy the chapter! :3
Sam POV
Kathy's House, 8:05 PM
I couldn't believe it. Not only that I had to share a house with my sister, but also that mom was going to take me away from dad. Even though he was a alcoholic with no job, I really loved him. I also had to give up my life here, but that wasn't such a big deal. I didn't really had any friends in this town, nor did I have a social status.
Not that I would care about the social status thing anyways… There was nothing to lose for me here. Katy on the other hand was the most popular girl in school. She really built up a name here. Almost everyone in Manhattan knew her.
"Are you kidding me?" she screamed at mom. "If this is a Joke then it's not funny! How can you do this to me? Why do you hate me so much?" she continued screaming."And why are you taking me from dad? I'm happy living with him!" I spoke up."Calm down. Both of you! I made this decision because I care about you two!" mom said with a strict voice.
"Care? You don't care about us! I have a life here! I have friends! You can't just take all this from me!" Kathy replied."And how exactly is taking me from my father against my will caring about me?" I asked. "Katherine, you will find new Friends there! I need this promotion! And as for you Samantha, your father is an irresponsible alcoholic! I'm not going to leave you alone with him in such a big city like Manhattan!" she responded.
I realized that there was no point in arguing with my mom when she got something in her mind. "Where are we moving anyways?" I asked."We are moving to South Park in Colorado." She answered."But it's freaking cold there! There is snow for almost the whole year! And I heard the town is small as hell! How am I supposed to find a good store?" Kathy complained angrily."No contradictions! We're moving there tomorrow right after you finish school!" Mom said.
As the two of them were arguing. I left the kitchen and looked for dad. He probably left the kitchen because he couldn't take it anymore. I found him in the garden, where he was smoking. He only smoked when he was depressed.
"Dad?" I spoke up."Oh, hey Samantha…" he greeted with a sad Voice."Are you alright?" "Yeah, of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?" "Well…your daughter is leaving tomorrow…"
There was silence for a moment. "I'm gonna miss you kid." "Yeah, I'll miss you too." I smiled a little, which didn't happen that often. "You know…you could just come with us." I suggested. "I already talked about it with your mom. She doesn't want to live with me and I don't have the money to move there myself. Guess I'm stuck here."
He made a long pause."You know what? Let's do something together while you're still here!" "As long as it has nothing to do with drinking I'm in."
Manhattan Park, 10:15 PM
The rest of the day was pretty awesome. After talking we both had some fun in the city. First we went to the Skate Park where we showed some posers how to skate. Afterwards we sneaked into the Cinema to watch an action movie. Then we ordered some expensive food at a restaurant and left without paying anything.
It was really childish, but I think that's what I liked about it. All this made me feel like I was a little child again. Usually I would be at Home and watch some movies, actually do my homework or dance and sing a was great to get out of the boring routine. We were even chased by the Police at some point. It's been a long time sense that happened…
We were both relaxing on a bench in the park right now. "Damn, these cops are slow these days." said my dad. "Well, that's better then them catching us." "Yeah, your mother would probably be pretty pissed at me if you ended up in jail." "Mom's such a bitch." I said a little angry. "She takes me away from you just because she's got a promotion…"
"Don't worry kid. I'll eventually find a way to get there. It just might take a while…" "I just hope I can put on with Kathy and mom for that long." "Yeah, just don't let them get to you, okay?" "Sure thing dad" "Well, it's late. I think you should go home and pack your stuff for tomorrow."
I sighed. Why did the day have to end so fast? "Alright, see ya tomorrow Dad." I said with a kind of disappointed voice. It was really nice to spend some time with dad before I'd move to Colorado.
Sam's House, 10:45 PM
I was pretty tired as I came home so i closed the door behind me and went to my room. Usually I would watch a Movie or practice some new dance moves. But today I decided to just pack my things and go to bed. After I packed my stuff I checked if I packed everything I needed.
"Clothes, family pictures, headphones, an Mp3 player with my favorite songs, a few songs I wrote myself, my skateboard, some sports medals, my guitar …" Nope, everything was there. "I should probably head to bed now" I said to myself and sighed.
Tomorrow would be a big day. My life would finally change…
Manhattan elementary school, 7:50 AM
*Damn, this is the first time I came early to school* I thought as I casually walked into the school.
As usually everyone was sitting in groups. My sister was already there, complaining to her minions. "This is so not fair! I totally don't deserve this!"
I past her and sat at my table. Of course I would be the only one sitting alone. After a few minutes of relaxing I saw my sister coming over to me.
*Great. My sister is coming over here to accuse me of mom taking us away from here. Just what I needed.*
"Can you believe that mom is taking us away from here? I mean, isn't that totally unfair?"
*Is she seriously not bitching at me right now? I must be dreaming or something…*
"Uhh…well…yeah I…guess so…" I answered awkwardly. It was very rare that my sister wasn't arguing with me. I can't even remember when I was having the last real conversation I had with her. "You…guess? This is awful! I mean, she's taking us away from all our friends! How can you not be all pissed off because of it? "
*You mean your friends…*
I simply shrugged. "I guess I'm just not the type to be really angry…" That was true…at least for a part…It wasn't that easy to piss me off. But I also didn't really have anyone I would miss…except dad of course. But as I know him he would probably figure something out. "Ugh, you're so weird! No wonder no one is ever hanging out with you!"
And with that, she went back to her seat. Like on call the teacher just walked into the classroom. Here we go…
"Hello kids, please sit down." He waited until everyone was sitting "As most of you already knew two of your fellow students are going to leave us."
Some of the kids were looking surprised, some looked like they already knew about it and others looked like they didn't really care. "I know this is going to be really hard for some of us but Katherine and Samantha Hood will move away." I could hear everyone mumbling.
Manhattan elementary schoolyard, 10:00 AM
After two hours we finally had a break. Just as expected everyone was standing around Kathy and talking to her. No one seemed to care about me. Not like I cared. I didn't really want them to surround me anyways, so I decided to simply ignore the crowd. Instead of watching them I lay down on a bench and looked at the sky.
*Maybe it won't be that bad. I may actually make some friends there...*
Sam's House, 16:07 PM
After school I had only a few minutes to get my suitcase and get to the car. My dad was waiting for me in the living room. He already got the suitcase from my room.
"Hey there kiddo" he said casually. Dad was really good at pretending he didn't care about stuff and persons. He always acted like an asshole to almost everyone so they couldn't hurt him. I could see through the facade though.
"Hey dad…what are you doing here?"
"You think I'm going to let your mother take you away from me without saying goodbye?" He stood up and gave me my suitcase. "I packed you something special in there."
"Really? What is it?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Something special." He grinned. "Promise me you won't open it until you're in Colorado!"
"Alright, I'll try my best." I grinned back.
In that moment I heard a car brake in front of our house. "I think I have to go now."
"Good luck there kid." He playfully messed up my hair. I giggled a little, which was really uncommon for me. Then I went to the door outside, but turned around the last time.
*I'm really going to miss you dad…*
Even though I wanted to say that out loud I didn't. I was too proud for that. Just like him. We both knew that we were going to miss each other though. That was some sort of weird and secret communication between us. Instead of saying something I just smiled at him and went outside.
My mother looked really impatient at me as I got out of the house. "About time you arrived!" she growled. It looked like Kathy really got on her nerves. No surprise there. "The moving van is already on the way. Now get your luggage into the back of the car and get in!" I did as told.
South Park, ? PM
I was staring through the window over the whole time. My sister fell asleep a while ago. "Wake up your sister Samantha. We'll be the in a few minutes." Suddenly I saw a sign which said: "South park"
There were lots of Houses which all looked the same, except that each house was in a differed color. There were also some people looking at us. Some girls who apparently just went shopping were looking excited, some boy with a green hat and an orange jacket looked kind of curious and boy with blue clothes and a blue/yellow cap was flipping me off. Of course I returned the favor.
"Wake up Kathy, we're here." I shook her. She mumbled something like "Don't touch me, punk." and rubbed her eyes afterwards. After a few minutes the car stopped in front of a dark red house. "We're here!" my mom said a lot more cheerful than before. That was it.
*My new home…*
