A Friend in Tuscaloosa
Yesterday I learned something very surprising. It began when the cheerleader girls screamed "Happy Birhtday" to Cara Smiley, as their always do for birthday girls in their clique. Shira, me, and Lalana covered our ears. After they were done, I exclaimed to Lalana and Shira, "There will be no end!"
That's when the news comes. "Actually," Shira tells us, "I'm moving to Tuscaloosa next summer."
"Moving!" I yelled.
"Yeah," Shira replied. "I haven't told you yet?"
"But, why?" I asked.
Shira sighed. "Dad's new job," she answered.
"Well, when you get there, you have to tell me what it looks like."
"I've already been there," Shira said. She told me that Tuscaloosa was a small town with hardly any stores.
For me, Shira going away was a big deal. Luckily, she'll have a computer, so we'll still be able to communicate. (Thank goodness for e-mail!) I also hope she'll visit St. Louis some time. (I know her move is not for a while, but the summer of 2007 will be here before you know it!!!)
Ciao for Now,
