.:Good News and Bad News:.
After I got back from school I threw my backpack down on my bed and began to check my eMail.
"Wow!" I replied to myself as I scrolled down to view the messages. I had 50 new messages. I began to check them when I heard a knock at my door, "Come In!" I yelled.
"Kelli , we have to talk to you." My mom and dad entered the room slowly and just stood there as if someone had died, "We have good news and bad news." I heard my father reply.
"Well...." I said waiting for an answer.
"Well, which do you want to hear first?" They asked.
"Ummmmm, I guess the good news!" I answered.
"Ok. We ARE moving to Tulsa..." My father told me.
"AAHHHHHHHHHH!! OH MY GOSH!!! WHERE HANSON LIVES!! TULSA! OH MY GOSH! I AM SOOOO HAPPY!" I screamed in excitement as I hugged my parents.
"But....." My mother's voice trailed off.
"But what?!?" I asked.
"Well, we are leaving tomorrow!" My dad replied.
"What?!?!?!?" All of the color drained from my face, "What do you mean we're leaving tomorrow?" I asked. I was VERY mad now. There was no way that I was going to leave tomorrow. NO WAY!
"We found the house in Tulsa and they said that if we didn't get there by tomorrow that they would sell it to someone else. I'm sorry. This isn't how we wanted it." My dad said. He patted me on the shoulder and said he would see me at dinner. My parents left my room and left me in shock as a million things ran through my head. I called all of my friends, even the guy ones, and told them I was leaving. All of my friends and I met at my favorite restaurant, Mr. Gatti’s, and they threw me a going away party. I cried through half of it, but thought 'Hey this is our last night together, so why not have fun'.
After my party was over I went home and started packing, "How was I going to tell my BEST friend?" I asked myself. "I'll eMail her! No wait, she might not check her eMail for a while!" So I just decided to call her and tell her. I picked up the phone and dialed her number.
RING! RING! RING!
"Hello?" I heard Nikki's voice.
"Nikki, I gotta talk to ya!" I told her. The conversation went on and I told her how I was moving to Tulsa, but leaving the next day. We began crying and then she told me that she would be over soon. After I hung up with her I began to pack again. She came over and helped me pack. It was going to be a long night so I ordered a pizza and we began to talk about Tulsa. Before long it was time for Nikki to go home. I told her I would call or eMail her as soon as I got there. I stayed up the rest of the night and morning packing for our move.
