The new life
(They sad and
talk about the day)
Do we have more
homework to do?
No I don’t
think so.
Okay, what
shall we do now?
We can go
outside, and play with your little brother Sipho?
Oh yes, that’s
a good idea!
(Outside
playing)
I don’t want to
play football anymore. Can we do something else?
Oh sure. What
do you want to play?
I don’t know.
What do you want to play Sipho?
I don’t know…
Oh, I got a
good idea. We can go inside and watch TV.
Okay good idea,
right sipho?
Oh… I don’t
know. I think I will stay out here.
Are you sure?
Yes (Sipho is
smiling)
Okay. Come
Abby.
(Abby and Emily
is going inside, and watch TV)
Later
Hi Abby and
Emily.
Hey
Oh, hi dad
Abby. It´s
getting late. You should go home now.
WHAT DAD??...
Oh Emily, it´s
okay. I´ll see you soon. Bye bye.
(Abby was on
her way home)
Emily I want to
talk to you about something important.
What is it?
We have to
move.
What? You don’t
mean that, you can’t!!
I do, and we
have to move soon.
Why?
They offered me
a job in Springfield.
SPRINDFIELD,
WHAT. You must be kitting me!
No, I’m
serious.
But dad…you…I…
I know
sweetheart, but we have to move.
But, I don’t
want to move. I want to stay here! I love this town, and
I have many good friends here! I don’t want to move,
please dad!
EMILY STOP!! We
are moving no matter what!
(Emily began
crying and she couldn’t stop)
I know you had
some really good times here, but we have to move soon.
You must tell it to Abby, I think she has to know.
I can’t, and I
don’t want to!
You have to!
2 weeks later
(Emily was
writing in her diary)
Dear diary.
Now we moved
to Springfield. It´s okay, but I really want to move
back to New Jersey!
Sipho likes
our new house. It´s very big, and very beautiful, but we
are living in packing cases. I´m really tired, so I am
going to bed now. Goodnight.
The next morning
(Dad goes into
Emilys room)
Good morning my
sweetheart, it´s your first day in your new school.
Hmmm… I’m not
going!
Emily come on,
you are going to have new friends, maybe like Abby.
No one will be
like her! I miss her daddy.
I know, but you
must let go.
I can’t! She
was and still is my best friend, and no one can change
that!
Call her one
day, and see how she is.
Yeah you are
right dad.
Great, but now
you must get ready to school.
Yeah dad
Good
(Dad goes out
of Emilys room)
10 minutes later
I’m ready to go
to school.
Fine, are you
coming Sipho?
Yeah, I´m
coming now!

going in to the classroom, everyone are looking at her)
Look at her,
