Your POV

"[Y/N]!!!" Edd forced me into a tight hug. It was great to see him after all these years. I looked behind him to see his other two friends.

They were both holding a lot of empty boxes, I'm guessing for my stuff. The one with ginger hair and big blue eyes in a purple hoodie and a green overcoat was waving at me with a big smile on his face. The other one with spikey light brown hair and black holes for eyes in a blue hoodie just looked bored.

"H-hi Edd." I said nervously after I pulled away from the lung crushing hug.

"Tom, Matt, this is [Y/N], my childhood friend!" Edd said, excited that we were all meeting each other.

"Yeah, I kinda figured that out." The guy named Tom said, still looking bored.

"I didn't!" The other guy named Matt gave Tom an angry look. Tom just rolled his eyes? and ignored him.

"Well, we should probably get started." Edd spoke to ease out the tension.

"Yeah, come in." I tried not sounding awkward.

"Wow, your place is really clean! I don't understand why you would want to move out." Matt looked around amazed. I felt a little proud of myself when he said that.

"So, where should we start?" Edd asked.

I looked at him confused. "What do you mean?"

"The house. Where should we start packing first?" Edd asked, more clearly stating what he meant.

"Oh, no no no. W-we're not gonna p-pack the whole house. J-just my room." I started getting nervous again.

"Okay then, to your room!"

Cut away to cool transition

When we arrived to my room, Edd and his friends immediately started going through my stuff. In any other situation, this would be considered as creppy.

"Just don't look inside any of my note-"

"What is this, an elephant?" Tom interrupted me. "Let me see!" Matt exclaimed, hoping over to Tom who had one of my notebooks wide open.

They were flipping through the pages faster than a race car.

"Guys, respect [Y/N]'s privacy!" Edd growled at Tom and Matt looking through my notebook.

"Fine," Tom closed the notebook. Finally. "I already saw everything anyway."

My face looked so flustered. I started packing as well to try and avoid anyone noticing. I took out a big box from the top shelf. It was really dusty and on it was written Middle school with a marker. (I remember this.) I opened the box and I suddenly felt a wave of nostalgia hit me.

In the box were a lot of my old notebooks, all of my sparkly felt-tip pens, pictures of my class, some of my old action figures and that one bad clay sculpture I made in 4th grade. (Ah, the good ol' times when I wasn't socially awkward.)

"You really kept all of this?" Edd was looking at the box from behind me. "Hey, I remember this! Gum got stuck in your hair so I got some stuck in my hair too to make you feel better. Haha, we look ridiculous!~" Edd was laughing at the picture of our 5th grade photo day. I chuckled to myself. It was great that even after all this time, Edd and I could still get along like this.

Lots of time skips later (lol)

After we finished packing and putting all of my stuff in Edwards car, Matt commented that he was hungry so we all agreed to order something to eat.

We ordered some pizza and chilled for a while...

"Edd, shouldn't we get going?" I asked, looking at the clock. "Wait, what time is it?" Tom yawned.

Edd took a sip of his Cola. "It's 3:24 pm." He got up from the couch and said "Let's go guys! We shouldn't waste much time since we need to unpack all the stuff when we get to London."

I don't know Edd, you look kinda tired." Matt said worryingly. "I think we should go tomorrow."

"Pfft... nonsense. I can drive for a few hours!" Edd exhaled. Now that I look at him more clearly, he does look tired.

"Can you drive for four hours and eleven minutes...? Not to mention that's the fastest route!" Tom said, concerned yet bored.

"That's very specific..." Edd said with doubt. "I googled it." Tom looked at him nonchalantly.

"You guys are acting like I'm drunk or something! Tom is the only one that drinks." Tom nodded in response to what Edd just said. "Come on, we don't want to get home too late!"

"If you say so." Matt was already convinced. Tom and I looked at each other and he just shrugged.

We all got up from the couch and went into the car. I locked the front door of my house and ran in last. I sat next to Tom in the back while Matt sat on the passenger seat and Edd on the driver seat. "Are we ready guys?" Edd started the car, turning behind to look at us. "Because this is going to be a long ride!"

(New chapter's out! Yay! I had to fix a lot of mistakes I did. I was so bad at English like a month ago, lol. Now I'm just chilling with the mosquitoes in my room. I still miss them... BUT MY AIM IS GETTIN' BETTER! I even caught one with my pajamas, but he somehow escaped... I have a blood stain on them now :( )
