A New Beginning! June 15th. 2017
I’m an eighth grader but it’s the end of the school year, there’s like two and a half weeks of school left. Then I’m going to be a freshmen at a new school in a new neighborhood because did I mention I’m moving. We are moving to a small town known as Turner, when I say we I mean me, my sister, my mom and my dad.
My little sister Annie is excited to move but I’m not, to be completely honest I’m nervous, but who wouldn’t be when they know they are going from the top to the bottom. I live in north east salem on plow Ct. It’s a grey almost purple house with a beat up yard. If you're wondering the part of Salem where I lived was in hood territory. You know the Nick Kasye gang. The Jayce Mason gang. Those to people used to be friends but I guess no there not because they are into separate gangs now. The gangs are what made my parents want to move because they said it’s not a good thing to have them around when you're that young. But the truth is I’ve met Nick Kasye and her gang back when Jayce Mason was apart of them and they seem like nice kids. I kinda had a crush on her friend Sal for a little bit. That's how I met my good friends Tito and Jesse and Jayden. Tito is obsessed with stealing cakes and other sweets so everyone calls him the cake thief. I think Jayden is from Turner but I can’t remember.
We are supposed to be out of the house by June 16th and that's tomorrow but I’m helping my family move today, so I can't even say goodbye to my friends. We have the inside of the house all painted and stuff but it doesn't feel like home yet, I have lived 14 years in the other house and they just picked me up and moved me, I guess the only good thing about this year is that I’m going to high school.
I was sitting in the car on the way to my new house and I thought about that time when Nick Kasye and her gang was playing truth or dare with Tito and Jesse and Tito was dared to shoot a ball in the hoop that the adults were playing at. It was really funny she said some not so nice words about them and one of the guys heard them and walked over to use and everyone was getting ready to fight but that guy was dumb and believed her lie and walked back to his basketball game. Jesse was mad that he was called a woss. He was the Emo kid in the group. But he looks the most dangerous because know one knows what he’s thinking. Tito on the other hand is also hard to read and tougher but he's not as dangerous as Jesse.
So I’m sitting in the back of the truck thinking about all the good things that went on in this neighborhood and how much I’m going to miss it. My mom’s making fun of me because I’m writing this all in my Diary but what the Hell I don't care. This DIary has helped me alot these past month. My sister Annie has been mean lately and acting all cool and stuff but that’s how she normally acts. She’s not in the car with me but she’s still annoying.
When we got to the new house we started to unpack the trailers. We started with the furniture and went on from there. It took two loads to get everything from the old house to the new and when I mean two loads I mean three trailers full twice. It was really chaotic. I kinda fell asleep. When we first moved into the house we had to replace the floors because it looked like someone died and decomposed in the house and the house smelled like cat piss.
After living in the house we a month we went on a camping trip to randle washington with me and my parents, my grandparents and my aunt and uncles. We went on hikes and went swimming and other things like that. It was fun for the most part except for the hiking and that wasn’t fun until the walk back because I walked with my dad and that was because he made a whole bunch of jokes. After the two weeks spending the in washington me my sister and my cousin loaded up in my grandparents truck. We spent twelve hours in that small truck watching cartoons and movies. It was a long drive but we survived it I think.
