Surprises

Demi couldn't wait for the holidays. She was going to a California and staying in a hotel with her best friends, Mollie and Kaitlin. Usually her parents would never let her, but her older sister Dallas was going with them and she was already mad at them for making her move across the country. She had been born in Dallas, Texas, and lived there for about a year, but then they moved to New York and she couldn't remember being in Texas. They were moving to Grand Prairie, Texas, and she really didn't want to.

"Miss. Lovato!" yelled her maths teacher, waking her from her daydream of the beautiful California sun, and all the gorgeous gir-boys she would meet there.

"Sorry, miss. Could you repeat the question please?"

"I wasn't asking you a question, Demi. The bell went five minutes ago, and I want to go home!"

"Oh, sorry miss!" she said apologetically, gathering her stuff and hurrying out of the classroom.

Yes, she thought, the end of the day. Only two more days to go until the holidays!

The last two days of school passed in a blur of teary goodbyes and lots of 'good luck's and 'make sure you come back and visit'. And that was just the teachers. Demi was one of the most popular kids in the school.

At the end of the last day, all her friends were gathered around her in a huge group hug.

"We're gonna miss you so much, Dems!" said Chloe.

"Yeah, if you don't visit us enough, we'll all visit you in Texas!" laughed Rebecca.

"Thanks guys," she sniffed, tears streaming down her face, "I'm gonna miss you all so much. My life will suck without you!"

"Okay Kelly Clarkson, no need to be so dramatic. You're gonna make loads of new friends, and we can all still talk! There's this amazing new invention called Facebook, you know. its magic!" said Kaitlin. She always managed to cheer everyone up.

"Thanks, Kait. I've got to go, now, guys, my mum's waiting. I'll see you tomorrow, Kaitlin and Mollie, and everyone else, I'll text you later!"

"Bye!" they all said in sync, as I made my way across the parking lot towards my mom's car.

I was still crying when I got in the car, and my mum reached across and hugged me. I tensed up at her touch.

"I'm sorry honey; I know you're going to miss them."

"You're not sorry. If you were really sorry, you wouldn't be making me move across the country, away from all my friends. My entire life is here, mom! And it's all your fault that we're moving!"

"I am sorry honey, but it isn't just my fault, a lot of bad things happened and we can't live off of your father's pay check alone, and the only teaching job I could find was in Texas. And I only got that one because your Grandma knows one of the teachers, and she got her to put in a good word for me."

"Well, if you hadn't lost your job in the first place, we wouldn't be in this mess!"

"The school had to make cutbacks, and they couldn't afford seven music teachers anymore. It had nothing to do with me!"

"Well maybe if you were a better teacher they would have fired someone else instead of you!" I yelled. She didn't mean it, but she was just so angry with her, with everyone, and it just slipped out.

"Put your seatbelt on, we don't have the money to pay a fine right now." She said coldly, turning to face the road and starting the car. Demi knew she'd gone too far, but for some reason she couldn't bring herself to apologise.

They drove home in silence, and as soon as they got back, Demi went straight upstairs and ran into her room, slamming the door. Throwing herself down on her bed, she started crying. It finally hit her; she was never going to pass notes with Chloe taking the mick out of their teacher in science again. She was never going to sit in the cafeteria and complain about how disgusting the food was again. And she was never going to kiss Joe under the tree outside the music building again. Not that she ever really liked Joe, but he was the most popular guy in school, she was the most popular girl, so she felt obligated to date him.

She was still crying twenty minutes later when Dallas opened the door and came in. Sitting down on the bed, she rubbed her sisters back and told her that she would be okay; everything was going to be okay.

Eventually she drifted off, still with tears streaming down her face. She dreamt of California, and when she woke up, she was even more excited.
