Tug Of War
Before we moved to the house on Inez st. we lived in a house in Garnet st. I have never been good at rememebring street names. I always remember the street by its surroundings.
We used to live in a house with my cousins. We decided to move and my parents searched for a house. We found the house and it looked like a piece of garbage when compared to our old home.
Our old house was painted in sea foam green colored paint. It had five bedrooms, two bathrooms, one large living room, a large kitchen, and a beautiful pattio with a garage and garden.
The new house we were going to move to had three bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, a living room, and a crimson red colored patio. The house looked old with white paint which was very dusty.
I did not want to move in to the house and begged my parents not to buy the house. Sadly I had no say in that and they ended up buying the house.
I had to move schools and had to say goodbye to my friends. I stopped talking to my parents and wished they never found the house.
My parents tried to convince me to give it a try but I would not give in. I pulled at the rope, saying I would never let go. I would never accept that I lived here. Eventually I could not keep holding on and let go of the rope…
