The Girl That Lived Downstairs
By Skylah Johnson
(Part 2)
W ell, hello again.
It’s Emma. I am now 16 and I am
moving out of my Mom’s house. I have to live with my
grandma. Ever since the beast left, my mom has been mentally
unstable. I had to leave, I didn’t want to see mom like that. I
moved to Mansfield, Ohio and my grandma wanted me to go to
Mansfield High School. I agreed, but I was nervous. It’s been
awhile since I heard from Lola. I heard that she moved to Dallas,
Texas, but I’m not sure of it. Tomorrow was the first day of High
School, I hope I will like it there.
*The next morning* I hear my alarm, I wake up and I get
dressed. My bus stop isn’t far so, I have to walk. I wait at my
bus stop and I see a girl about my age walking towards me.
“Hey! Are you new?”
“Yeah, I just moved here.”
“Cool! My name is Ava. What’s yours?”
“I'm Emma.”
“Thats a nice name Emma.”
