Chapter 10-Good News and Alone
A couple of days after Christmas, I got the most wonderful gift I could have ever received and I became the happiest teenager in the world. My sister Cree was finally moving out. I would never have to hear her whine over a boy or hear her cry about her teachers hate her for months on end. I would be sister less for the first time in my life. I was going to be an only child until Spring Break.
Nothing could take away my good mood. Not even all of the extra chores my parents insisted I do. I rather do the chores than deal with Cree. I had too much time on my hands anyway.
The only true down side was Cree's room. It was bigger than mine was and I wanted it, but Mom said it was still my sister's rooms. Apparently, she wanted it to remain the same for when Cree came home on vacation or school breaks.
Even with that slightly bad news, I smiled. My other three siblings moved out a long time ago. Well, they were older than Cree and me. I missed them sometimes, but I knew they had to move on with their lives.
Later the night after Cree moved out, I found myself in my room. I was a bit depressed and lonely. It was not because my sister was gone. It was because I missed my friends. Sure, I got to see Hoagie and Wally sometimes, but it still was not the same. I missed Kuki and sometimes Stephanie. However, most of all I missed Nigel.
I did not know how much I would miss him when my friends and I made that packed on the last day of school before Winter Break. I missed his smile and his laugh. I missed his British accent and his bossy tendency. I just plain old missed him. He was special to me. I found I was looking forward to seeing him more and more each day.
I was missing school. Well, I never really liked school and now I wanted to go back. Just to see Nigel every day, just like before.
I knew that in another week, that school would be starting up again and I would be able to see my friends again. I smiled at the thought. Soon, I would no longer be alone.
