Florida is Forever Away

Recently I have been taking one of my best friends to school in the mornings. Friday I arrived at her house and she told me she had something to say, but she didn't want to say it in front of my sister apparently because she waited until we got to school. As soon as we walked through the lobby doors she informed me that she was moving to Florida. If it wasn't bad enough she went on to tell me that she was moving in about a week. I cried pretty much all of second period. She texted me during that period too and that resulted in the taking away of my phone. I was so upset because I hate getting into trouble with my parents and I didn't want one of my closest friends to leave. I cried the rest of the day. Luckily Brittany pulled me into her class, and Mrs. Matthews (thank you so much) let her talk to me for a while to calm me down. I felt better but I was still hurting about the whole situation. I didn't want to get grounded. My parents ended up letting me go to the game and my mom came to the school to get my phone and gave it to me so I could call her after the basketball game. I was so glad that she let me have it back, but they told me we "had to discuss it" when i got home. They told me that they SHOULD ground me and that they SHOULD take away my texting for the rest of the year, but they weren't going to do that because they knew how upset I had been all day and they wanted me to be able to hang out with my friend before she left.
