HOME

 Where is home, Really? Dictionaries say one thing, while love says a whole other. If you really want to know, then too bad. Nobody REALLY knows where home is, because it is different for each person. One person's home could be in a book, (Where THEY feel most comfortable.) or could be out on a sports field. It differs depending on your personality.  For instance, there was character in this book I read, (the Last Olympian, Rick Riordan.) named Annabeth, And her home was a place that was secure, down to earth and would NEVER collapse OR betray her. Mine? Well, I really don't know. But I am writing this book to tell you about a friend of mine. SHE is the main character in this book, not me. But first lets set the stage. My friend Amber lives in Pennsylvania, Right next door to me. She has moved many times, She lived in New York NY, until she was six. Then she moved to Boston MT. Next, she moved to Pittsburgh PA. Her parents were GOING to get divorced, but they never actually did. Not legally, anyway. They were just divorced love wise, they moved apart, she lived with her father,  and she slept over at her mother's during the weekends. She had a dog, and a crush. The only problem with living in so many different places at  SUCH a young age, was that she had a crush. He was perfect in EVERY way. He was smart, considerate, kind, respectful, CUTE, and not much smaller than her. She would have him as her boyfriend, except for one itsy bitsy little tiny problem. He lived in Massachusets! She thought he broke her heart, because he didn't return any of her letters. But he never got them! Any of them! So very recently she wrote another one. She's been awaiting the reply letter. When she went to school the day after she wrote she was talking to her friends during recess. "MYRA! MYRA! HELLO? MYRA? HAVE YOU GONE DEAF?" Myra turns around as soon as she hears Amber. "Sorry, Amb. I have this problem with my ears." Then Myra started talking about her ears, And Amber started about HER injuries. "Myra, you totally ditched me! I was waiting for you by the classroom so I didn't have to go down alone! But, as you can tell, I DID! Why is that?" Myra looked confused at first. Then realization spread across her face. "Wait, I thought you meant to meet you out here!" Myra said, still looking confused. "No, Myra. 'Wait for me in the Classroom' means, exactly what it says! meet me in the Classroom! And after I told Hannah and the gang that they went running of in the other direction!" Myra and Amber suddenly looked straight into each others eyes. "CHEERLEADING!" They said in unison. They both raced to the recess teacher, but at that exact moment the bell rang. They both realized they had missed it. "Oops?" Amber said to Myra. "Oh, my, god! I am sooo going to get those Bozos! Why didn't they come get us! I am SO going to get mad at them when we see them during lunch!" Then Myra and Amber raced off to lunch with their teacher and friends. There they DID get mad at Hannah and the gang. They raced off to their different classrooms and
