1 LATER THAT EVENING

Later in the evening, we sat down at the dinner table eating the delicious meal of pasta and meatball, really this food is good: my dad married a good wife. My dad started asking us what do we think about this new house and the area, Rachel said it was great but I know that she likes this place because of some guy she just met today, Isaac said it was okay that he thinks this place is cool typical teenage boy what did my dad expect him to say. Then my dad asked me and I said I think it is okay but before you judge me you should know I am a growing adult but seriously what does my dad expect me to say, I can't tell him I hate this place or that I miss my friends Sophie and Grace because of them; my school life was perfect. Now I'm stuck here, resuming a new school and meeting new people but I don't want to meet them. I just want to go back to crenshaw and continue my life as it was but no this stupid transfer came and took it away from me. I can't say what on my mind because if I say it, I will be tagged as a selfish, self-centered teen and I don't want that so I will keep it to myself and just smile and pretend I am okay with the house and say okay since it is the only acceptable word in the room right now. My dad was pleased with the response and told us that very soon we will adjust and make new friends but I know that I won't have friends as loyal and good as Sophie and Grace.I WENT TO BED AND I LAID DOWN BUT I WAS SCARED MAYBE BECAUSE I'M NEW TO MY ROOM BUT I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORNING TO COME. THUMP THUMP THUMP! I'M HEARING SOMETHING, IT IS COMING CLOSER BUT I'M NOT SEEING ANYTHING. CAN ANYBODY JUST COME TO MY RESCUE? THUMP THUMP THUMP, I'M SCARED SOMEONE SAVE ME! When I was away from you, I'm happier than ever, I wish I could explain it better, I wish it wasn't true.Cause I don't talk shit about you on the internet never told anyone anything bad, because that shit embarrassing, you were my everything. I wish I could just stay back in Crenshaw. This house is terrifying.
