That was easier to write than I though it would be. BZZZZZ Thatâs my cellphone.â¨Itâs Justin! It saysâŚ.â¨I need to tlk to u â¨ASAP after skoolâ¨gym bleachersâ¨alone...
God, I am so clueless what heâs going to say. Does he know Iâm moving? Usually when he âneeds to talkâ its a bad thing. Rose then finishes her test and then looks at me, she has an excited look in her eyes. We both look at the clock, 3:50. â¨âIs everybody done with their tests,â Warty asks.â¨One hand goes up and he says, âYeah, I got one more sentence.ââ¨He then says that heâs done and Warty gets up and starts collecting the tests. He looks like a lab rat in a maze trying to find the cheese. I snicker a little. After Warty was done, he sits down, remembers something and stands back up.⨠âListen, hereâs the deal. Ms. Jess said that anyone who wants to play in the gym go ahead. Anyone that wants to stay here can. First, go to the lockers and get your stuff. Have a nice summer! Well, get to it,â Warty says, excitedly. Warty sounds kind of delighted that the summers here. I bet to get away from us.â¨Everybody then dashes towards the door and heads to the gym. I wait until everybody leaves and start walking, Rose is ahead of me, but not by much. â¨Rose explains, âLets get our stuff and then tell me, OK.â ⨠âSure,âI say walking.â¨Rose and I then just talk about what the summerâs going to be like. I throw in a few white lies because, you know, Iâm moving. Iâm starting to be not so afraid to tell her. Now is the moment, we have our stuff and are downstairs. Were sitting on the benches next to the doors.⨠âNow youâre going to tell me, right,âRose asks.⨠âYeah, listen, I love you, as a friend, and I got to tell you something important. IâŚIâŚ,â I donât finish.⨠âSpit it out,âRose exclaims.⨠âIâm moving, to California,â I say, squeamishly and quickly.â¨There was a silence then a laugh.⨠âHa, I knew you were going to pull a prank on me. But, seriously, is that the surprise? Really?â Rose asks. â¨I canât believe she laughed. My theory worked, but she needs to take it seriously.⨠âNo, really, I am. My dad got fired from his job. He got a new one. He also got this house by the shore because now heâs a temporary fisherman. Iâm sorry,â I say.â¨Rose than gets up and walks away. Iâm confused, so I follow her. It turns out that I can hear crying.⨠âRose, please donât cry. Iâm sorry,â I shout.â¨She stops, turns around and says âWhy does your dad have to be a âtemporaryâ fisherman? He can stay here and be a chef. He does make great food! Why canât he stay, why canât you stay,â Rose sounds angry.⨠âI want to stay, I really do. You know I want to stay, donât you,â I start to cry.â¨Rose leans in and hugs me, I hug back. ⨠âYou know Iâll be in touch, all the time. My dad said, if its okay with your parents, that you can come and visit, or vice versa. Nothing, and I mean Nothing will change that, OK,â Iâm not crying anymore. I then look at Rose and her eyes are beat red.⨠âBest,â I say.⨠âFriends,âRose exclaims.â¨We hug each other and the bell rings. The buses come and we walk our separate ways. Oh great, time to meet Justin.
Chapter 4
There he is! Justin is leaning on the door next to the gym. He spots me and gives me the âcome hereâ signature and I follow. We walk onto the bleachers.
âOkay, something is with you. Remember when I was telling you about the tech final? Yeah, you said âI canâtâ you canât what, tell me something?â Justin asks.
âYa, I do have something to tell you,â I say, weirdly.
âWell, I think I know what it is, and I have something to ask you,â Justin says.
âOkay, go for it,â I say, enthusiastically.
âHere goes. Weâve been friends forever and I think we should be more than friends. Now it took a long time for me to say this because I know that if you say no, it will ruin our friendship, and I want to keep that,â he says.
I am stunned. Its been at least a minute before I say anything.
âI want to, but I canât. Ha, I shouldâve gone first. Iâm moving, and I wonât see you in California. I wanted to tell you sooner, but I couldnât. I couldnât even tell Rose, until just a few minutes ago. Please understand,â I say full of hope.
Justinâs face is blank.
He then leans in and whispers in my ear, âWell then, how about a goodbye kiss?â
I didnât even have time to answer, he just started kissing me. It felt amazing and I thought an hour went by. Justin looked at me, smiled, looked down, and then walked away. I bit my lip, attractively. I looked up at the ceiling and saw swirls. He was the one, but now I lost him.
I walk outside and see no sign of Justin. My mom pulls into the driveway and I hop in.
I ask her, âMom, have you ever had a long distance relationship with somebody you really care about?â
âYes, honey. I forgot his name, uh, Fred. Even though you may care for them, they are too far away and you know boys. They canât be attached with one girl across the state with beautiful ladies all around them,â Mom says, sadly.
I love my mom, she is like a nosy teenager. She has the fashion and personality of a teen and is super cool.
âSo, what youâre saying is that the guy cheats, big time,â I ask.
âYeah, they just donât hook up with one chick. Honey, whyâd you ask me that,â She asks, being nosy.
âJustin asked me out, but I had to turn him down. Although if you donât say anything to dad, I can tell you some details that youâll love,â I laugh.
âOkay, go ahead,â She says.
âWell, he said, at the end of our little chat, how about a goodbye kiss, and then I was in heaven. I saw fireworks and it was amazing,âI say in one breath.
After that my mom is quiet. I try to start a conversation and it works. We talk about music and stuff like that. We reach home in no time. I run up to my room, hop on my bed, and just lay there. I canât believe Iâm leaving everything.
I hear three knocks on my door, âDinners up,â
Mom walks into my room âDarling, is something wrong?â
I start crying, âMom, you know how much I wanted to ask Justin out, he asked me and Iâll never get a chance to even see him again. And what about Rose, she cried when I told her. Its just, this town, this school, this state. Its my life and I donât want to leave. Anyways,â I rub my eyes, âWhy does Dad want to be a fisherman anyway? And, why do you approve? Do you want a man to smell like fish when he walks into bed at night. Its just soâŚ..Ew,â I shake my whole body.
âBelieve it or not, itâs his dream job. I think it is so disgusting but, you know how you always wanted to have a girlâs night, alone, well how about a girlâs..uh..year,âShe asks, her shoulders lift up.
I was confused, I asked, âWhat are you talking about? Yeah, I always wanted a night but⌠huh?â
âCome on, dinnerâs getting cold, hurry or Iâll eat it all,â Dad shouts.
âWeâll talk about it in the morning, oh and you have a few days to pack more. You can invite your friends over to help and chill out,â Mom says, rolling her shoulders.
âOK, thatâs cool. Mom, you can go, Iâll meet you downstairs,â I say, pointing to the door.
Mom walks
