Victoria Lewis-Davis 6th Period Final Draft

Moving

“Why?” I asked my mother. “I don’t want to go, and I don’t want say good-bye!”
We were living in State College at the time, and my mom just told me that we were moving back to Philadelphia. I did not want to leave though because there was so much I was going to miss. I was going miss the play my day camp was planning, and I was going to miss my friends.
At day camp, after we heard about the move, my brother, sister and I told ours friends about the move. We were all so upset. We were going to miss each other.
Even though we knew we were moving, we still practiced for the play because we did not know exactly when we were going to move.
We acted as though we weren’t going anywhere. The last couple of weeks we spent in State College were so much fun, and that made it harder to leave.
Soon the day was here. Moving day was here. We said our good-byes and told them that I was going to keep in contact. We packed all our stuff and squeezed into the front of the moving truck. We wasn’t big, so that allowed five people to fit in the front of the moving truck.
The drive felt like it took forever to get there. When we arrived in Philadelphia, we got out and took everything in house. We stayed with my aunt. Nothing really changed, but at the same time, it felt as though it did.
A few days after the move, we got letters from old friends. They sent pictures of the play, and they looked like they were having a blast. I wish that I could have been there.
Sadly, to say this was the last contact with any of them. I will remember my old friends and all the good tomes we spent together. I will cherish those memories always.
I miss how it was, but I am glad I moved back to Philly, where I made new friends.
