Story by Bethany, for Kanako

My name is Sara Hamilton. I live in MossyGrove, New york. Or, I used to live there. Now i live some where else. And i did NOT like moving.

First of all, I had never been to Hathaway. Who knew what it was like? My parents? "Oh, you'll like it, Sara!" won't help me. So you can see what i was like.

I was never in the town, I mean it could have been another new York City!! I hate the traffic, noise, crime, homeless people, and there are so many buildings with only a few parks! I hate that type of place. And I would hate for my little sister Katie to grow up in a place like that! So I wasn't happy at all.

I was leaving my friends, Nana and Poppy, and I was leaving my good life. (or so I thought.)

The next day, we reached Hathaway, Massachusetts. I was so sos so surprised! There were only a few large office buildings, I mean it was so so pretty, nice,GREAT!!!

The scene:
all nice buildings, some mountains, flowers, flowers, flowers!!!! We pulled into the driveway of our new, bea-u-ti-ful house!.

The nxt day at school, everybody was nice to me. At home, I made friends with the twins next door, Mindy and Missy Donahue. I really liked Hathaway, and I still do. And we're getting a puppy this summer! and we'll go to Cape Cod, Boston, Salem, EVERYWHERE!!

I am still penpals with my friends in MossyGrove, but now, I don't miss it as much.*

The End
