*your pov*
After the seemingly endless ride, we made it to school. Here we are Greenwood High...I don't know what i can possibly say about it, it was just like any other inadequately chaperoned high school on graduation day. Greenwood was apparently one of the finest, leading high schools in Toronto but let me tell you, as a student here for 7 years, they do not live up to that title. The school is filthy, the students are naïve and exceptionally immature and the teachers literally don't give a fuck about anything or anyone but i've been through a lot here. Before Cody died, i would've called myself quite the self centered, manipulative bitch. All the boys were after me; the jocks, the nerds, the skaters and the stoners but today as i walked through the sadistic, narrow hallway for the last time with my head down, i felt all eyes on me. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs. My brother was supposed to be here today, he had to see that everything he did for me paid off. I couldn't stay in there any longer, i stormed out and made my way to the steel benches outside and put my face in my hands.

*ella's pov*

We got out of my wrecked car and y/n and i made our way to the beat up, displeasing blue lockers to grab our stuff before graduation. We started walking steadily until i saw y/n stare at the tiled floor attempting to avoid making eye contact with anyone. I started feeling concerned as i felt her start to shiver uncontrollably, next to me. Before i knew it, y/n sprinted out of the hallway. I anxiously ran after her and spotted her sitting on the bench, it was clear that she was a bundle of nerves. 

Ella: you okay?

y/n: no i'm not ok Ella, does it look like i am, i'm sorry that was a bit rude but i just couldn't handle being in there for another minute

Ella: hey, you don't need to apologize for something you cant control, i understand but cmon lets graduate and get outta here

y/n: im quite looking forward to getting out of here

we got up and started heading towards the graduation hall. just as we step foot into  the hall i felt like the world had just collapsed all over me, all the memories in this school came flooding back, all the gym lessons, all the breakups, all the detentions, ditching class, all of it. i can tell you it was very overwhelming but i managed to bury it deep inside just until i leave and i did a pretty good job due to the fact that clearly no one noticed, its not like anyone ever does.

time skip to after graduation (because im lazy and tired)

Ella: Guess what? we're officially high school graduates, not long till we're freshmen in uni

y/n: about uni, have you sent out your applications yet?

Ella: Yeah i sent out a bunch, most of them were accepted

y/n: We all expected that to be honest, you do have a 4.0 gpa, i say its pretty impressive. where are you going?

Ella: New Jersey, i got accepted into Princeton 

y/n: woah, that's incredible its one of the toughest ivy league schools to get into, im so proud of you El you've worked so hard and you earned this, you deserve it.

Ella: thanks y/n i appreciate it but enough about me, where are you going?

y/n: University of Melbourne

Ella: WHAT?! that's across the world y/n

y/n: dont you think i knew that when i applied for the school, i wanted this. Ever since Cody died i knew i wanted to go away and start a life somewhere new where nobody knows who i am, like a new chapter in a not so pleasing book. I want to leave my old life behind

Ella: That takes a lot of courage, i'm so happy for you and proud that you've decided to move on, to find the happiness that you deserve. you're going to do great and i know that.

y/n: thanks El, but i'll miss y'all. everyone here; you. 

Ella: i'll miss you too but just because we're going to live on opposite sides of the world doesn't mean i wont call and annoy you everyday like i do when we're together. im not going to let you slip away that quick dont worry

y/n: honestly El, i dont know what i would've done without you, or how i would've survived high school without you and im grateful that you were there for me when my parents left, when cody died, when i went through my rebel phase, you were there through it all and you didnt leave me behind even though i tried my hardest to push you away.

Ella: i'll alway be here for you no matter how much you try to push me away you'll never succeed. we are in it for the long run y/n might as well go through it together huh

y/n: always

A/N: sorry if this is a short chapter and sorry it took too long to update the book. ive just been stressed with school but i'll try my best to upload the next chapter as soon as i could. maybe thursday anyways thank you for reading and hope you have a great day :)
