Personal Narrative: My Decision To Leave Ohio

For the last couple of months I was stressed out because my father didn’t have a job. He just started his new job last Tuesday. However, now we are going to move to Blairsville. We now have a twenty two month old and a one month old living with us as my sister in law is having some health issues and my brother works. My parents want to move as soon as possible, so we are trying to pack. That is not an easy thing with two young children around. It stresses me out because there is so much to do and I am not good at meeting new people. My life is currently going through some big changes and I am expected to have a 3.75 GPA or higher so that I can get scholarship money for college. I enjoy playing Call of Duty on my Xbox. I find the clear mission

I quickly responded by saying, “Then why did you tell me you liked her during recess?” Eric’s face was tomato red now, and he replied by saying, “Because I thought I could trust you as a friend.” and just like that,he walked.

“Oh this is Piper, she’s new,” She said. I have to give it to her she was acting calm and collected if i was talking to someone i liked i would probably be a hot mess.

Blake and I, we didn’t talk much last year. He was more of an acquaintance until this year. Autumn who is one of my good friends and is a sophomore rides the bus with me. We live about 5 minutes apart, in walking distance. While we were sitting on the uncomfortable Grey seats that the bus provided, talking about this guy she liked. I glanced up at his direction to catch him with his chocolaty brown eyes gazed at mine. I was flustered. I quickly and nervously looked down at my hands, that laid in lap. I felt the heat of embarrassment raised up to my cheeks. I wasn’t embarrassed, though. I was more flustered with the thought of this cute, new guy on my bus that was looking at me. I looked up again, slowly, but not in his direction, but toward my friend Autumn’s.

"Can I tell you what I think? I know it 's not my place or anything but I feel like you 're a person I can really connect with. And I 'd like to get to know you better," Jasmine says kindly and I 'm astounded about what a genuine person she is.

“Sure, half the girls in this school have a crush on him because ‘he’s nice and all’. And it 's the way you 're looking at him. You seem to be lost in thought. Daydreaming abotu him, maybe?” MJ smiled.

"Ugh. Here, you know what," I said with a sigh, "give me a hug Ben. I'm sorry I'm always so snappy to you. Just then a smile formed on Ben's freckly face and greedily he raced toward me like a starved puppy."

The day started off normal, I woke up around 2:17 PM because I just got back from a trip to Japan the day before and I was really jetlagged. I grabbed my phone and called my friend Justin.

“You're right.” The mood suddenly getting better. “There's a lot of time for us to become a couple,” I say to her and smile. MY first real smile since leaving my house.”Speaking of couples, how have you and Ethan been doing.” I Ask her. She grins as a blush starts to rise up on he cheeks.

“Well, I guess we're going to be in here for a awhile. What’s your names? Mine’s Claire.” I ask, trying to start some small talk. I usually don’t socialize, but since we're trapped in this small space for awhile, I think it’s better to try and get to know each other.

“Come on Alaina!” I said shyly. “Come on, say more.” she hurried me to tell. I continued, “Ok, ok. After he tells me, I am just going to say, I like you and yeah!” I ended. “Oooh, sounds really good to me!” she paused. “I better go because it is awkward to be with you during private time with him.” she said. “Yeah and it is almost 8:00, he would be coming now.” I said nervously. “It’s ok and good luck.” she said while leaving. “Thanks!” I replied. “Love ya, see you later.” she shouted as she ran across the way we came from. “Love ya, too!” I shouted back.

"Uh yeah?" I ask confused with why a totally hot stranger is talking to me. "I just transferred here and I 'm not sure where my class is its room 201 do you know where it 's at"? I start to think where that class is. "Whose the teacher?" I ask "ms. Peterson" I smile "oh you got that evil old hag I have her class too just follow me" I turn and start heading off to the class I can 't stop smiling. "Thanks uh what 's your name"? I hear him say, I turn and smile at him "yeah no problem oh and it 's Audrey what about you?" It 's silent for a good five seconds "chase" walking backwards facing him I say " nice to meet you chase"

Logan heard what I had said and said to Elisa, “Did you just hear what Josh said about you?”

“First off, it’s not a date. Secondly, turn it down a notch,” I said slightly embarrassed. We both laughed as we walked to class.

The next day, I woke up late, thankful that it was Saturday. All day was spent smiling and messaging Josh. About three o’clock, my parents and I headed to Lowes in Pittsboro. The sun beat down on me in the back seat as I stared out the window at the grass and trees. The ride was boring and hot but Josh made it all seem better. With every message, my eagerness grew. I wanted to meet him. I asked him when he was free to meet, and he told me that he could that day.
