Trying to hide my tears, I mumbled, “I’m just stressed mom.” “I thought Lola was going to help you pack? Where is she?” mom said with that look that moms do when they think you’re up to something no good. I lied, “She couldn’t come today, she was busy watching her siblings.” “Oh, that’s not what her mom said.” She gave me a disappointed look. “YOU TALKED TO HER MOM?” “Yes, why didn’t you tell me that you guys haven’t been on good terms? Your behavior has been unacceptable lately. I’ve invited her to our house for dinner so you can apologize.” “I’m sorry, but is that really necessary?” “Yes, Nevayah! Don’t talk back to me, she’s coming over!” then she slammed the door on my face. Lola “MOM!!!! ” I screamed at the top of lungs. She …show more content…
We all sat down at the table. No one ate anything besides my mom. My mom tried to make small talk with us, but we clearly didn’t want to talk to each other. When dinner was finished, my mom sent us to my room so we would talk. Lola The dinner was absolutely disgusting and really awkward. No one even talked. So we all just sat there stirring that nasty soup. Her mom then told us to go to Nevayah’s room so we could “talk”. We walked up the stairs silently. When we got to her room things got even more awkward cuz we had nothing to say to each other. Finally I say, “Wow…” “What?” she said in a rude voice. “I just can’t believe this all happening” I told her. “What do you mean?” she asked. “Well first of all, our friendship is falling apart. Second, you’re moving across the country. And you didn’t even tell me until 3 weeks before!” I yelled. “Well, you’re not the easiest person to talk to. I mean, once I told you about me moving you stopped talking to me!” “Seriously, how is this my fault! You’re the one who’s leaving.” “Doesn’t mean we have to stop being friends! Literally, you haven’t been talking to me just because i’m moving, how is that fair.” “I didn’t know what to say to you! I thought you hated me because you never sat with me at lunch and that was our thing.” “I would never hate you, I thought you’d come and sit with me.” “Oh..” At that moment we both started to cry. I needed to get out of there, so I just ran out crying and I ran
“So that’s it then? You’re just going to walk away? After everything we’ve been through just because things got tough?” she said as she wiped the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hands.
"You'll be alright, Beka. This is a great opportunity for you to make new friends" my mom said when she broke the news.. When my mom told me we were moving she said were moving to a small town, but she never really told me how small the town was.
She said while packing her things but it seemed like she wasn’t excited as if she had no choice. At that moment I was excited but also upset, I didn't want to leave New jersey and my bestfriend I made in my new school. I lived in New Jersey for about 4 years and I loved it there. I never thought we would move, but it just hit to me that we were moving leaving family and friends behind but also coming to my new family in Maryland that i have never met in my life that I don’t think i would be comfortable with them as i'm comfortable with my family in
“I also know I haven't um been very nice to you so i'm sorry for that too”
“I’m not ready to talk to you yet. You crossed the line in our friendship” I responded to her.
I buried my face in my hands and through muffled words spoke in despair, “Well, we might as well get divorced now.”
“Ok mom but I will have to make all new friends and it is the summer so I won’t know anyone in the school year.”
“So you’re leaving?” Her announcement causes my chest to constrict. Don’t leave me. Please don’t abandon me. Stay! “Okay, well….”
“One question, If you were my supposed best friend why would you not tell what they said about me? If it were me I would have told you?”
“Why don’t you guys come in to eat lunch and maybe you can solve your problem.” Mom yelled back.
“I understand perfectly. You think if you just roll up on her, and demand she return to suburbia with you, she’ll freak out and run away screaming.”
She figured that was his way of mending bridges while telling her she resembled a mangy dog. “That’s sweet of you, but I’m not in the mood to go out.”
“I was such a horrible friend. We were all such horrible friends. When we said we cared about you, it was
Evening came by, and its dinner time, the whole family gathered in the dining room, and while everybody is busy eating, mom at that
“We’re home!” shouted Mom as she entered through the backdoor. I got up from my bed and went to go see if the rice was done. I was right on time, I turned the stove off and went to my parents. They looked like they had already showered, and Dad was holding green peas and carrots. He gave Mom the vegetables and sat at the table. I got three plates out and put them on the table while Mom cut the carrots. She cooked them and put them on plates with rice.
