Question

everyone kept telling me how lucky i was to be moving off - planet, but all i could think about at first was how much i would miss my neighborhood, my school, and my dance team. when mom and dad announced that we were selected for a deep space rotation, they acted like it was the best news ever. of course they were happy—theyve been training at the space academy for my entire life. but did they even care that id just enrolled in advanced ballet?
everything happened so fast. after they told us the news, i felt like someone had poured a bucket of ice water on my head. before i knew it, i was packing, saying goodbye to friends, and researching low - gravity ballet technique.
when we boarded the shuttle for earth 7, i couldnt help but share in mom and dads excitement. after all, how many kids get to go to middle school in another solar system?
