When my parents told me— I couldn’t speak, the blanket of saddness hit me–hard and I knew that this would be quite some news to my friends. I went to my room that day and just sat, I didnt cry or anything just sat and tried to accept what was going to happen in the next few weeks.
In 2008 I had to move from Lubbock TX to Austin TX and boy was sad. I had to move before we lived in Lubbock, but this was different like you keep switching milk but one day you go soy, this was differnt from the many moves I had done before, I had a best friend something I had never had before, and I was just finishing my major brain development and I could understand things a lot more in Lubbock at school.
I had already lived in Austin before and I loved it but I was so small and young
that I don’t recall my best friend in Austin. But in Lubbock my best friend was Blake Carter he got a phone in second grade he was blonde he already had braces, his house had an upper loft just for his room he was also obsessed with Ben10 he went to Colorado with us and after we moved away he moved to Shreveport TX. So I guess that you could say that I remember a lot about him.
It was a overcast summer day when we had to move and it started, I was remembering all of the fun things I did in Lubbock like: learning how to ride a bike, having 5 friends that live on my street, loosing my first tooth, and my first day of elementary school. But the last thing I saw was Blake’s sad, gloomy, teary face, his face turned to jello, then I lost sight.
But then we moved. A long 7 hour drive. When we got here I saw that I knew a lot of people from before we moved from Austin I just didn’t remember them. In Austin I made new friends and I would of never found my true love for lacrosse. So in conclusion moving back to Austin was a great thing even though I thought it would be a mistake. My mistake was Thinking that it would be a huge mistake, and it was only going to be good in Lubbock but I was wrong and I love Austin more and more every day.
I’m so sorry that you had to move! But you are right Austin is amazing and I hope you are glad that you moved here! I love how you show the pain and emotion of moving because it had a big effect on you, and you show that really well. I like the part when you were watching your friends face as you drive away, that part was sad.
