Aviano Middle School
I woke up to the sunrise smiling at me through my window. I got out of bed and ran to the living room. My mom sat there, drinking her coffee. My mom started saying, “I got a call last night, We’re moving to Germany.” I ran to my room, my eyes filled with tears. I put my face to my pillow, and I sobbed into it. What about my friends? I’m not gonna meet any people like me. I’m scared. Why does this have to happen now? All these thoughts running through my head at the speed of light, I didn’t stop to think that I’ll probably make friends that act just like me. Is this really happening though? I think. What about my friends here? I’ve known them forever and now I’m leaving them like a ladybug wishing you luck. I know not everything lasts forever, but why now, why when I’ve just started middle school here, all I feel is emptiness like a glass bottle in the middle of the road. My mom walks in my room telling me it's all gonna be okay, but is it really? Will I really have friends, will I graduate from there, will I… be happy?
