The Move to Dayton
"Today is my first day at a new school. Awesome." I pull my hair back into a ponytail. The first day at Sliver Lake High was going to be my third school in 4 years. I am a sophomore in high school. My family just moved to Dayton, Ohio and I am not happy about it. My family stayed at our old house in Moblie, Alabama for 2 years, so I got comfortable. I made tons of friends, did great in school and really enjoyed like there.
My little sister, Sue was so happy for the move. She loved the long car rides to the new houses, and she loved playing around the empty house and running around the new yards. She is only 7, but I thought she would get tired of it after the second house. "Ashley! Asher! Get down here. Your gonna miss the bus!" Yeah. I have a twin brother named Asher. We got along good, but I'm so happy we are getting our own rooms in the new house. I could tell my brother and I had the same thought about this move, it is a stupid move. We were all so comfortable in Moblie, and my mom, dad, and sister all loved the rain. It's not that Asher and I don't want our family to be happy, it's just... It made us hard to crack. I use to be open and easily to make friends. But now, if I make friends I'm afraid that we'll move away and i will have to make new friends. Again.
I beat Asher downstairs and pull my hair out of my ponytail. I only put it up because I had to wash my face from last night. I let Sue to my makeup while Asher, Mom and Dad brought the boxes into the house. And I fell asleep as she was doing my lipstick. I looked like a mess, "well, look at the twins. Honey! Aren't they adorable!" I could feel him walk past me and we both rolled our eyes. My mom puts a hand on Ash's shoulder. "Don't worry guys! You'll..." "Grow to love this place. I promise this year is going to be the best." We both say. She has told us that since we moved the first time.
Finally, after 10 minute the bus comes and picks up Asher and I. I asked him if I could sit with him for today. He nods and we sat towards the back. I wanted to pull out my phone, but 20 minutes later, we had arrived at school. Asher stood up and looked out the window... "Another school," "another chance to change things." Our mother constantly told us that. But I use to believe it. I grabbed my bookbag and the bus driver told us where the office is. "Hey Asher, what if we actually stay here?" He sighs. "We thought that at the last house. But then that all changed when we moved." I know that he is tired of moving around, but he use to act at least okay with the new things. We finally made it the office. "Hello? Are you Ashley and Asher Jonas?" This nice lady asked us. "Yes we are." She handed Ash his schedule, then me. "Miss. Jonas, your first class is English, Mrs.Noah and Mr. Jonas, you have Math is Mrs.McLean." we both say thank you and then head to our lockers.
