Room 421: A Short Story

Get to block one, geometry…
I quickly walk through the halls to find Room 421. One more time I’m late to class, I have detention. Once I find Room 421, I run just in time before Mr Thacker closes the door.
“For once, this week, you make it just in time,” Mr Thacker mutters. He has always hated me. All I do to him, or at least in his class, is talk; nothing actually harmful. I walk over and take a seat between Mackenzie and Bree. The three of us became friends last year.
Mr Thacker walks to me and says, “ First you barely make it to class on time then you are talking. You’ll have enough social time later. Take out your books and why don’t you read the first paragraph?”
“Sure, whatever you say.” I mumble back as I open my history book and

“ Okay, well don’t keep us waiting.” I respond back.
Mom looks over at Dad then says, “ Your Dad and I both got job offers in Maryland and so we may consider taking them, which means we have to move. New house, new school, new…”
“We are so not moving halfway across the country for some job! You don’t even need to finish your sentence!” I snap back. Angrily, I storm out of the kitchen, leaving my parents and siblings all speechless.
When I get to my room, I drop myself on the bed and start to cry. The year I actually think will be great, is now not going to be after all. Moving to a new school would mean having to make new friends, as my mom was about to say before I interrupted her.
I grab a tissue and wipe the tears flowing down my face. I hate new changes happen to me. I do not start over as well as other students. When I came to Hillcrest High School in my sophomore year, I was nervous, but now I realized there was no need to be. Now I am moving to Maryland, well, most likely. I already knew a few kids from Hillcrest High School before

When I walk downstairs, everyone is already sitting at the table talking. It does not seem like the news affected Jenny or Brandon much. Well, Jenny is going to college next year, it is just half a year she will be going to high school in Maryland.
I grab a cup of water and sit down at the table. “Sadie, did you finish your homework?” Dad asks me.
“I just need to study for English. Can I stay at Kenzie’s house? We were planning to study together and since it may be late, it might be better to just stay over.” I need to tell Kenzie that I might move and I rather tell her today, in person.
“Only if her parents are okay with it,” my mom answers. “I give her a call after dinner, and if it is fine, only then will your dad drop you off.” My mom seems like she feels bad, which is now making me feel bad. I should not have gone off on her like that.
“Okay.”
I finish up dinner and go to my room to pack my bag and the “essentials.” I turn around, Jenny walks into my room and sits on my bed next to me. I could sense that she knows I’m still upset. “Don’t worry about moving. It’ll be fine. You’ll make new friends very quickly like you did at Hillcrest High. Also, Dad said he’ll drop you off in 5 minutes, so pack what you are taking and come
