Kyla :: chapter 3

Instructions

Kyla, chapter 3: I've been adopted by the Azure family. I miss my parents. Why can't I go back to them? Everybody that I knew... I could never see again. I had to move schools too, so I don't know anybody there. There's only one friend that I can still see, and her name is Daffodil. I met Daffodil in ballet class, and I never liked ballet class, my parents forced me to do it because it was "girly", and Daffodil was the only reason why I liked going. She was an amazing friend, fun to talk to, and made ballet worth going to. I met up with Daffodil. "Daffodil, you WON'T believe what happened." Daffodil was curious. "What happened, Katie, why haven't you been at school?" Okay, I'll stop here for a second. You're probably wondering, why is Daffodil calling me Katie if my name is Kyla? Katie used to be my name. I changed it to Kyla because I didn't like the name Katie. Of course, as my parents wanted me to be super girly, they wanted my name to stay Katie. I know Kyla is still a girls name, but they wanted me to keep my name. Okay, back to me and Daffodil's conversation. "I haven't been at school because I got taken away from my parents, and I got adopted..." "WHAT!? Why, what happened?? Who adopted you??" Daffodil was surprised. "I don't know what happened, and I got adopted by a family and their last name is Azure. My name is now Katie Azure. Sounds nice, huh?" "Huh... I guess so. Will you ever see your parents again?" "I-... I don't know...." I looked sad, and Daffodil was sad with me. "Oh... I'm sorry, Katie." "It's fine. But we might not be able to see each other that often anymore, because I'm not in ballet class and I'm not going to the same school." "What? But what about us being BFFFL?? Best friends forever for life?? Don't you remember? Katie, don't leave, pleeeease!" "Daffodil, I don't want to leave. I'm going to try and keep talking to you. Too bad we don't have phones like all the other kids in 4th grade..." "Yeah, that's totally unfair, my mom said I can't have a phone until I'm in middle school..." "My mom said I can never have a phone, not even when I'm 30... Hey, what if my new parents let me have a phone?" "You think they would?" They said no. I didn't have a phone, Daffodil didn't have a phone, so we had no way to talk to each other. We've been best friends forever for life since we were five. I didn't want to break my promise. I was scared that I would have no choice. Friendships don't last forever, right? I wish they did. But I don't want to unfriend Daffodil... I don't know what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll make new friends at my new school, but I will NEVER forget about Daffodil, even if I don't talk to her for years...
