What Swallowtail Papillon has in store for me is that a new high school has been established few months ago. They are need of more students who can help in building the school’s reputation.  Well education will always come first.

My Uncle Amos is my mother’s little brother. My mother used to tell me that Uncle Amos has been a rebel since his high school days. He would take risk to prove people that he was the best. He travelled to many countries and did many dangerous sports- bungee jumping, cliff diving, sky diving, parasailing etc. He climbed Mount Everest but didn’t really make it to the top. Sometimes Uncle Amos would come by to Lemonade Flower and give us souvenirs. He would then tell us about his adventures.

Then one day, he met with an accident while racing at a charitable event in Greece. My uncle sustained abrasions and fractured his left leg. He had to stop all his other activities and take a long rest. Of course, he was upset nevertheless he decided to continue studying in university and suddenly here he is the mayor of Swallowtail Papillon. Like I said before I have no idea how he came to be the mayor. 

All my stuffs have been packed and put into the mover truck one week later. I was told that I will be enrolled to the school immediately when we reached Swallowtail Papillon Town. I was not looking forward to it. The school I am going to was Crow Tit High School. It was pretty weird for a school to be called ‘Crow Tit’.

My parents were already standing at the driveway to see me off. My mother started to sob as she give me a tight squeezed. She told me to listen to Uncle Amos and to stay safe. My dad gave me a peck on my cheek and told me that we would skype every weekend.  My heart started to feel heavy. I can’t believe I am leaving everything behind. Lemonade Flower means so much to me. Sigh…it was probably for the best.

I gave one last big hug to my parents and turned around to see one last look of my small cozy home before I get into Uncle Amos’s Mercedes car. We drove off after that. I gave one last look and tried to remember every little detail of Lemonade Flower as we drove through the streets. Tears started to flow and I weep quietly at the backseat of the car and slowly I fall into a deep sleep as listen to the melody of the song.
