The fire, the police, the lights, the crying it all came so fast. In a blink of my eyes my life was gone. Or at least I wished it was. All until I met my best friend. My house had just burnt down and I felt like I had nothing to lose. "Ok, while I'm busy, you are going to have to go with my friend ok? Her name is Lanette.", my dad says. "Ok.", I say dully. "Ok, are you ready?, the lady that I don't know says. "Sure.", I say. Once we arrive I walk in and was welcomed with warmness. "I hope you and Melody get along. She was very excited to meet you.", Ms. Lanette said with a smile. She had tattoos and short hair, but by far she was already a better mother than my own. "Melody's room is over there.", she said. I walk slowly over to the room with my bags I had packed to stay over. I knock twice, and the doors opens. I see a girl with brown eyes and hiar with highlights. "Hi! My name is Melody.", she says kindly. "Grace.", I say. It wasn't very easy to talk to anyone right now. "I heard why you had to come over and I'm really sorry. I would feel really bad if that happened to me.", she said gently. "Its fine. Where do you want me to set my bags? I don't want to be rude and set them just anywhere.", I say to her. "Oh um, you can set them there next to my desk.", she says with the same kindness. Hours passed and we had already made the best of friends. She showed same great songs I had never heard and a YouTuber I really liked. That night we stayed up late and het mom got onto us about going to sleep. But we still didn't. After that weekend I was feeling great. But I had to go home. "Bye Grace! I will make sure we can get together again soon!", Melody says. "Thanks Melody. Ill see you soon.", I say as I give her a hug. I get on the car with my dad and we drive away. The next few weeks passed by and we still had not seen each other again. School started and I heard no word from Melody. My dad drove me to school since no bus came to where I lived now. I walked into the new middle school and hated everything. I hate change. I kept telling myself.  I stepped into my classroom and I saw her. "Melody!", I say I little too loudly, quickly feeling embarrassed. "Oh hey Grace! I didn't know you went here.", she said excitedly. "I didn't know you went here either.", I say as equally excited. The teacher walked into the room and told everyone to sit down. For once I was happy with change.
