The muggy hot air presses down on me as I drive past my old small school. The place I grew up in has changed so much sense I’ve been here. It's been nearly four years I last been in Ontario. Construction sites are everywhere, new highways are being built, and new restaurants that haven’t been there before are now up for business. I drive past where my old house used to be and there is now a new family living inside with a red sports car parked outside. The faces here are different; no smiles, laugher or emotion, their all blank. As I text my friends we meet up at the mall. This mall is full of memories; some funny, sad and even scary. My friends and I walk past my favourite store growing up. It looks the same. My friends haven’t changed, their still crazy, funny, and the same friends I once loved. We walk around laughing at pointless things like we always used to do. It’s getting late and we head to the movies. We walk in and the movie theater is huge! There are twenty-seven movies playing tonight, we have a tuff time deciding on what to watch. We end up picking the funniest one and head towards the room. We settle down into our cozy seats and prepare ourselves for a night full of laughter. My friend threw a piece of popcorn at the back of a strangers head and ducks down, we all started to giggle. The movie soon finished and now it’s time to head home. We take the city bus back and say goodbye to each other. I walk home from the bus stop and it’s not dark because of all the city lights lighting up the streets. I come to my Aunts home and eat dinner with my family I missed so much. We stay up late catching up, and watching family videos. My mother told me it’s time to go to bed and takes me to the guest room to say goodnight. There’s no other place I’d rather be then with my family and friends back in Windsor, my hometown.
