Personal Narrative-Moving

Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! There was a knock the door late at night. There was a letter, it was from the manager at the sunny slope apartments. The next morning we opened the letter. It said we were getting evicted. We didn’t know why. But we knew what it meant, we had to move! We were so worried, because we didn’t know where we could move or even worst of all we didn’t know if we were going to have to move a different school. I had been at that school my whole life, and known all of my friends there.

"Sadie and Parker are egging them on, That's kinda shitty, they do the same thing." He shakes his head and opens his locker.

One day, Melinda tries to run away from Mr. Neck, and she finds a janitor's closet that hasn't been used in a long time. She thinks it's a perfect hiding spot and she also cleans it up after school. Later that day, Melinda went to a pep rally with Heather ,even though she didn’t want to go. Some girls behind her asks if she the one that called that cops at Kyle Rodgers end-of-the-summer party. At dinner one night, Melinda's parents get on Melinda's back about her grade and that she can do better. After Melinda leaves her parents start to fight. Melinda decides to at least try. She starts focusing in science class. Her science teacher, Ms. Keen, is very smart. So is David Petrakis, Melinda's lab partner. Mr. Stetman, Melinda's algebra teacher, is also very smart, but he can't convince the class why they need to know algebra. Heather joins a group, called the Marthas. The Marthas make Heather decorate the teachers lounge for Thanksgiving. Heather convinces Melinda to help her. When Marthas come into the lounge to see what Heather did, they aren't happy to see Melinda. Heather says Melinda is the first person at school to talk to her. Siobhan (one of the Mathas) says, "She's

It was the summer between my eighth grade graduation and the start of my first year of high school that my family and I left behind our city dwelling first-floor three-bedroom apartment on a one-way street in Connecticut to the rurally side stacked townhomes and sub-divisions of Virginia. I had not put much thought into why we moved or what might come of moving. I did come to the conclusion that this move would be “better for us” as my mom would say because through copious amounts of research she discovered that the education provided would master that of our public school system where not all students had the books they needed in order to learn and even do homework. As the night transcended and we packed into our vehicles it was

"Do you use magic ink on all the girls that stroll through your door?" Allison asked teasingly, raising comically skeptical eyebrow then laughing.

“Skylar, come on! The truck is about to leave!” my mom shouted as she walked outside to the U-haul truck containing precious memories of the past thirteen years of my life. “Alright, mom!” I aggressively shouted back to her, knowing full well she would not appreciate my tone. Despite my resistance towards the events of the day, I trudged out of my bare room with the last of my Vera Bradley luggage and loaded up the truck.

It is Melinda's first day of high school and she is dreading it. She gets on the bus and sits in the middle, not wanting to be lumped with the "losers" at the back of the bus or the little kids at the front. By the time the bus pulls into her school, however, she is still sitting alone. All of the ninth graders are corralled into the auditorium for an introduction to high school life. Melinda sits alone, noticing and annoyed by the various cliques forming around her. She spies her former close friends — Nicole, Ivy, and Rachel — joining new groups, leaving her alone. The only person who speaks to her is Heather, a girl from Ohio and with a mouth full of braces. A teacher who Melinda labels "Mr. Neck" gives a presentation to the ninth graders

“We’re moving.” I heard those words at least once a year growing up. I never minded moving because I liked a change of scenery and making new friends. But at what point does moving, then making new friends, and then having to move again get repetitive? It never did for me but the hatred for the reason we had to move all those times still runs strong throughout my mind.

I open her door. “Let’s go.” I say as I wave my arm back towards my house.

The move across town had me excited about the new house, sad about changing schools, and happy to have found a best friend in the end. The summer before ninth grade my mother moved to her first home in the beautiful historic Old Cloverdale. Our new home was a four bedroom, two-bathroom single level home on Park Ave. The great front porch, spacious rooms, and nice sized kitchen was a huge change from our old apartment.

"Bye Maddy!" She said, waving to her friend as she hopped off the bus. The bus left, and she ran across the street to her dad's old mini-van. The door swished open, and she hopped into her seat.

"Her name is Elena, and yes she is." I sit on the spot next to Harry so I can see the screen. My heart picks up as I see Niall. He furrows his eyebrows.

“Aren't you a little old for that game?” Erin said. “What are you guys, like thirty?”

Yet, how could he notice them if he was texting. Then finally, “BAM” goes the truck, hitting every passenger in all three cars, and the parents were out cold. Gina, Teighlor, and Jourdan were at school during that time. They got the news later that night, and all of them were bursting with tears. During that time, Gina realizes that not everything’s gonna be the same, and that everything changes. That’s how Gina got herself living with her grandparents in an apartment. At first, it took some time to get used to it, but now she is. It was morning, and Gina couldn’t wait to go to school because today she has Science class. Right after eating breakfast , Gina runs to school to Homeroom. When the second bell rings for the first period , Gina sprints to science and when she enters the classroom, her mouth drops. She couldn’t believe what she changes. That’s how Gina got herself living with her grandparents in an apartment. At first, it took some time to get used to it, but now she is.

Exactly nothing but, something on the board with the words “Science Test” on it. Gina gulps. She totally forgot about it. Now how would she be

Rose showed the people who were in front of her the school name and her paperwork.
