Mae POV:

I've been friends with Beatrice Santello for as long as I can remember. She's one of my best friends together with Gregg. Me and Bea..we have something different, something that I can't explain..But recently she has been really cold and gloomy towards me. I don't know what happened, we usually tell each other everything! I think it's probably best if I leave her alone for some time, we all have shit we go trough and it would probably freak people out if you told them. But she knows I won't judge her so I don't know why she's acting like this. 

I'm going away to collage next year. I should be exited, after all I'm "the first Borowski to go to collage" ,that's what I've been told since I was 6, but I am not. I am rather scared than exited because everyone is putting so much pressure on me I'm not sure for how long I can keep my cool.


Bea POV:

Because mom died recently and me and dad don't know what to do, I've been feeling down and not really in the mood of talking to anyone, I feel like I should tell my friend Mae. Mae Borowski is my best and oldest friend in this shitty town. They're going away to collage and I need to spend as much time as I can with her, but she's been too busy hanging out with her friend Gregg. They recently almost burnt down the school. We have one week left of High School and then we move on with our lives. Going away to collage or getting some kind of shitty job so we can get out of this damn town.

*A few days later* 

Mae POV:

The final exam period is the shittiest part of the year. Always revising, relying on caffeine and stressing about stupid shit that will never help you because we will all end up in a wet cold coffin under the ground. Ignoring Bea wasn't that hard. After all everyone is so sucked up in their own personal stuff at the moment that we forget there are other people going trough the same shit. 

This town sucks ass. We didn't get internet only this year and it takes F O R E V E R for a video or a gif to load. I can't wait till I'm out of here. Altho i'll probably miss Gregg and Bea. 

Bea POV: 

The final exams are coming up and with the stress of mom passing away, being tight on money and these stupid exams are slowly killing me. My blood currently runs on red bull and monster and honestly I can't remember anything I've done in these couple of years. 

3rd person POV:

After a long week full of revision and exams, it's the last day and everyone is tired and worn out. Considering that Mae didn't talk to Bea for some time they sat down at lunch and a big argument formed between them. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT I'M A SPOILED BRAT??" Mae loudly said standing up. "YOU HAVE EVERYTHING  YOU WANT AND YOU'RE STILL UNHAPPY?" Bea yelled. "EVERYTHING I WANT?? I HAVE NEGLECTING PARENTS WHO CARE ONLY ABOUT THEIR IMAGE AND A FRIEND WHO'S BEEN ACTING  ALL BITCHY AND REFUSING TO TELL ME WHY!" "IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR IGNORING ME. YOU ALWAYS TALK ABOUT HOW AMAZING IT IS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO COLLAGE YOU DIDN'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS ABOUT HOW I FEEL! YOU NEVER KNEW HOW IT IS TOO LOOSE A PARENT AND TO BE TIGHT ON MONEY! I WOULD GIVE EVERYTHING TO BE IN YOUR PLACE!" Mae didn't realise Bea was crying while saying all this. It took her a while to figure out they were crying too. The look in Bea's eyes was a look of pain something that she rarely showed. Stopping herself from saying stuff she may regret later Bea ran out of the cafeteria and hid in the janitor's closed for the rest of the day. God that was embarrassing. All eyes were on Mae. They didn't know what to do. Should she run after her? No, this isn't a fucking romance movie. This was real life. Mae actually said that. Bea, actually said that.

Mae later that day made a plan of talking to be a at the graduation party but of course she wasn't there...
