Prologue
It was early. Too early to be awake on the first day of summer break. A little boy and girl were standing off to the side of a moving van. Neither was happy to see the moving van.
"I'm moving away today, and I'm not coming back, ever," the little girl said sadly.
"Why are you moving away, Kenzie?" the little boy asked.
"My mommy doesn't love my daddy anymore. They're getting a divorce and my mommy and I are moving to New York. And my daddy and Liam are moving to California. The said they want to put a whole continuant between them." the little girl, Kenzie, said.
"I think you mean continent."
"Whatever. I don't care. I've already decided not to take a bath or go to school until my mommy lets me come back here. Think it'll work?"
"No. It'll only make your mommy mad at you. And then you'll get in trouble."
"I don't care! I want to be trouble, be mean. I'll be the worst kid you've ever seen until she has no choice to let me live with you."
"Kenzie! Get in the car, it's time to leave!" a voice came from inside the house. "We need to get to the airport early, so we can make it through security." A woman walked out of the house, carrying a light green backpack and a pair of shoes. "And for crying out loud, put your shoes on before you hurt yourself."
"I don't wanna wear no shoes! I wanna stay here with Adam!" Kenzie yelled.
"Well, that's too bad, sweetheart, because we're going to New York, and that's final. Now put your shoes on and get in the car."
Kenzie just stood there, pouting.
"Mackenzie Jennifer, if you do not put your shoes on and get in the car by the time I count to five, you will be grounded as soon as we get to New York. One…two…" her mother started.
"Oh, fine, I'll put my stupid shoes on, and I get in the stupid car, but I won't be happy, ever again!" Kenzie yelled.
"Don't be so melodramatic, dear. Say good-bye to Adam and let's go. Phillip and Helen are waiting for him to come home, and we're going to be late."
"Bye Adam, I'll miss you loads. And someday, I'll write you." Kenzie promised.
"I'll never forget you, either, Kenzie. And I'll write you, too. I hope you like New York." Adam said, sadly.
"I won't like it! I'll hate, cuz you aren't there with me."
"I hit five three minutes ago, Kenzie, get in the car." her mother said.
"Promise me you'll always remember me, Adam." Kenzie said, starting to cry.
"Always and forever, Kenzie. You'd better go before you get in trouble." Adam said, starting to cry as well.
"Always and forever." Kenzie whispered before walking away.
She reluctantly got in the car, and watched out the back window as Adam and her house got smaller and smaller until she could no longer see them at all.
