This will be my third time moving to a different school (this time, cyberschool). The first school I've been to was a private school, and I've attended it from kindergarten to third grade. In the middle of my third grade year, due to bullying of my sister, we moved to another private school. Although I didn't have many fond memories of the old school, I had to leave my two friends behind which saddened me. I tried to stay in touch with them, but they stopped contacting me for unknown reasons.
At my new school, I made some friends, but it was quite the struggle for me as I suddenly withdrew from social life and ran upon some obstacles. I fell into depression during my four-and-a-half years at the new school. Attending from the middle of my third grade year to seventh grade, I had trouble making friends and staying happy. On my eighth grade year, however, I found a girl who shared the same interests as I did, and we bonded through that, becoming close friends in a few days. I felt that I was closer with her than my old friends at the other school.
Unfortunately, my sister, again, began to experience bullying from her "friends". My parents decided to move schools again -- this time to cyberschool. It was a free program, and you could also audition in center to take special classes such as drama, music, art, dance, etc. In the past, when I had struggled with friends and depression, I had begged my parents to let me in cyberschool so I wouldn't have to face humans face-to-face. They had said no. But now, since I had made a good friend and a few nice acquaintances, I wanted to stay in that school. My parents didn't listen to me that much as they feared for both the mental and physical safety of my sister. I had no choice but to obey and accept cyberschool. We signed for the free program and went to the center to the audition against more than a hundred students. We all had a good feeling we would be accepted in the center. I wasn't allowed to tell anyone at school that I was leaving as it was not confirmed whether we were actually going to go or not. I struggled with that, wanting to tell my friend that I might be leaving her. Instead, I dropped several hints, saying things like: "What if I don't come next year?", "What if I die and don't come back next year?" I even played a prank on her on April Fool's Day saying that I was leaving the school in a couple of weeks. She never took the hints or even considered them.
Finally, after school had ended and summer had come, we received the results from the center saying that we had not made it, but we had not failed it either -- we were put on the waiting list. My parents decided to let us attend the cyberschool program despite the fact that we could not get into the center and receive special classes. My sister and I could now tell anyone that we were leaving for sure. I delayed telling my friend till now, near the end of summer.
I don't know what to say, and I'm wary of what her reaction will be. I don't want to lose our friendship like as I did with my old friends. Even though it's been just one year of friendship with her, I really treasure it and our memories together. I would hate being alone for the rest of my cyberschool years without her. I just don't know what to say. How should I start it out, and what should I say? I apologize for the long story, and I appreciate your help in advance.
