A Big Move
Amanda leaned down and reached into the cardboard moving box. She pulled out a big, heavy piece of crumpled white paper and threw it onto the ever-growing pile. Underneath, there were other, smaller pieces of paper, each carefully wrapped around something she used to think was important. Today, nothing felt important at all.
She picked up one piece and took the paper off. It was her jewellery box. When she opened it, a big clump of tangled necklaces fell into her lap. She picked it up and tried to undo the knots, but it was hopeless. Tears in her eyes, she dropped the mess back into the box, closing its pretty painted lid. Maybe that was enough unpacking for today.
Leaving her room, Amanda ran down the stairs. The house had a half-finished feel, like someone had built it but forgotten to add whatever made it a home instead of just a place to live. All of their furniture was there, most of it in exactly the same places it had been in their old house, and it made her feel sick to her stomach. Nothing was right. Everything was just a little bit off. She felt dizzy and tired.
She walked into the kitchen, where her mom was unpacking bowls and plates from a box labelled Kitchen Stuff.
They’d gotten pretty lazy with labelling near the end of the move, and that was making it really hard to find anything now. Last night she’d spent an entire hour looking for her toothbrush. She’d opened five boxes and dumped them all out before finally finding it in a box she’d written Last Minute Stuff
on.
Hey kid,
her mom said. How’s the unpacking going?
Can I go out?
Out? By yourself?
Amanda rolled her eyes. No, out with all of my friends. Oh, wait, I don’t have any, because you made me leave them all behind in Vancouver.
Her mom sighed. They’d been fighting like this for weeks, ever since her mom and dad told her that they were leaving Vancouver and moving across the Strait of Georgia, to the much smaller city of Victoria. It was at the very southern tip of Vancouver Island, and it was the provincial capital. To Amanda, it might as well have been the moon. Her parents hadn’t even let her finish the school year with her friends. Here she was, in April, with less than three months of grade seven left, trying to fit in with a whole new group of people.
Her dad thought it was better this way; he wanted her to have a chance to meet some new people before starting high school next year. Amanda thought it was a waste of time; they wouldn’t even all go to the same school! Some kids would go to the English school, and some would go to the French Immersion School. Plus, the elementary schools were smaller, so kids from three different schools would all come together in one high school. Why couldn’t he just have waited, and let her finish elementary school with her friends? Maybe then she wouldn’t be so lonely, so angry, and so lost.
Her dad wasn’t even here for her to be angry at. He’d made them move so he could take a new job, and he was working ten or more hours every day. They’d been here for three days already, and he hadn’t come home in time for dinner a single time. Not even on the first day, when Amanda was scared and the house felt way too big and empty. She’d never say she was scared, of course. If anyone asked, she was bored. Or better yet, she was too good for this place.
Yesterday was her first day of school, and she had spent the whole time with her
