Goodbye
“ Do we have to move?” I asked my mom, who was packing up all my belongings. “Yes, now come help me pack your stuff.” She said as she threw a shirt at my face. “I don’t want to move. I have friends here, my life’s here, and what about school! You’re the one who told me to keep up my grades. What if they drop, then what?” I started to ramble until I got hit in the face with a shoe. I looked at the culprit with the deadliest glare I could give. “If only looks could kill, my dear sister.” My lovely twin brother, Mason, said laughing. So I did the first thing that popped into my head I threw the shoe right back hitting him right between his eyes, stopping his laughter. Then I ran straight for him to get more revenge. I ended up tackling him to the ground and I started to tickle him. It’s one of the secrets I know about him, he is one of the most ticklish people I know. Well besides me, we tell each other everything. From the stupidest things we did to our deepest darkest secrets. Neither one of us likes to admit it but we have always been each other’s best friend. I don’t know what I’d do without him, he feels the same way too. Anyway back to reality, I’m sitting here tickling him until we both get hit by a pair of shoes. “Découpez tous les deux maintenant, avant d’aller chercher votre père!” (Both of you cut it out now before I go get your father!) That made me and my brother stand up quickly, but it didn’t stop him from pushing me back into my room and running off. You know she’s pissed off when she starts yelling in french. Believe me, my mom is as scary as a dog with no bite, but dad only has to raise an eyebrow and you know you better stop then or run. I love them regardless of what they do or say. Surprisingly, my dad practically has all of his hair. It’s light black with a little gray to it. He has ocean blue eyes and a short beard. My mom has dirty blonde hair with beautiful hazel eyes that change to a light green depending on what she wears. Long story short my parents are gorgeous. Me and my brother, on the other hand, are blessed with their good looks but we are not graced with either one of their hair colors or eye colors. We were both born with white hair and violet eyes. No one knows how or where it came from. They just knew that we were unique. Our parents call us their snow angels because of the color.
My name’s Madison Stone I’m 17 years old I have a twin brother named Mason. My parents recently told us were moving to a place called San Antonio, Texas.“Vous nous manquerez” (We’ll miss you) My friend Marry said. “Vous feriez mieux de nous appeler dès que vous atterrissez.” (You better call us as soon as you land) said my other friend Karen. I am going to miss them so much, I don’t want to move but dad got a new job. Besides, it’s not like I can stay here by myself... “Hey mom,” I said in the sweetest voice ever. “No, you can’t stay.” Gosh, it’s like she read my mind. “But Je suis une grande fille, I can take care of myself-ish,” (I’m a big girl) I said. She replied with a NO AGAIN.So I stormed back off towards my friends and said my last goodbyes before I hopped in the car and put in my headphones as tears made their way down my face. My brother got in next to me and wiped my tears off. “You always got me no matter what.” He said trying to comfort me. I nodded my head and then laid it on his shoulder. We started to drive off and I waved at my friends as we drove. I’m gonna miss all the adventures I had in Paris, but I have a feeling moving to San Antonio will bring many new adventures. I’m just not sure if they’re gonna be good or bad.
We made it to the airport in 20 minutes, found our gate, made it to our seats and flew a 15-hour flight to our new home. I was excited yet nervous to see what my new home would look like, if the house was big or small, if it was a 2 story or not. I felt a light shake and turned my head as I opened my eyes to see my brother standing on my side of the car with the door open. “Are you going to get out by yourself or do I have to carry you?” He asked me. I didn’t say anything. I just extended my arms towards him so he can pick me up. He’s super strong but doesn’t look like one of those guys who you know look likes their muscles are bigger than their head. He started to carry me to the house but before we got to the door mom called us to come help with the luggage. I replied with a groan. “Mom I’ll come get Maddi and I’s in a second, I’m just gonna put her in the house. She’s really tired.” My wonderful brother said. “Madison can come get her own. Like she always says “Je suis une grande fille”.” My mother called out. ”Merci d’avoir essayé Masey, (Thanks for trying Masey) I said to my brother. He just nodded his head as he set me down onto the ground.
After we brought our luggage into the house mom told us to pick our rooms out. My brother and I shared a look and ran upstairs we both found rooms right next to each other and smiled. “Do you want the left or right door,” he asked. ” I want the right cause I’m always right,” I said as I giggled. I walked into the room on the right the same time as he went into the left. “Wow,” I said as I look around my new room. It was huge, and I mean not the simple bedroom it was as big as our old living room. It had a walk-in closest, a balcony. “OMG, there’s a bathroom”, I said as I opened the door to it. I walked in and was amazed it had a tub the size of a jacuzzi, a shower that could fit 10 people and there was a double vanity (2 sinks). As I was gawking at the sinks I didn’t realize that my brother was coming up behind me. “Huer!” (Boo). I yelped when he scared me. "Tu m’as fait peur connard,” (you scared me asshole) I said. It took me a second to realize that he was in my bathroom. “How are you in here?” I asked him. “Magic,” he said. I looked at him like he grew two heads. He shook his head laughing “The door chère sœur," he said with an are you stupid look on his face. It took me a second to realize that we are sharing a bathroom. I gave him my famous death glare, "You better not get my bathroom dirty" I threatened and left him standing there before he could say anything else. I shut my end of the bathroom and crawled into bed but right before I fell asleep Mason comes in and jumps on me. "Don't forget to unpack and keep a set of clothes out." He said as he jumped off my bed and started running back to his room before I could through a shoe at him. An hour later... I finished unpacking and got out a set of clothes for tomorrow. I crawled back into bed and stared at the ceiling not being able to sleep I unlock my phone and text my two besties I left in Paris telling them that I made it to my new house and that I'll call them later. I made sure my alarm was set for 6:00 am. I check my phone one last time and it said it was already 12:30. "ugh, today's going to be a long day."
