"I'm so sorry."

Finally, the first day of high school is here, and I already hate it. I transferred to Beavercreek High School, where I still saw the majority of my schoolmates from Belleville, including Lucy's former bullies. All I can say is that I'm relieved they're still scared of me. Speaking of Lucy, she is unfortunately no longer here because, well, this happened.

"I don't want you to go." I cried, hugging her tightly, not wanting to let her go.
"I don't want to leave you." She hugs me just as tight.
We just held each other, crying, as my dad and Miguel helped her parents put their stuff inside the moving truck.

Apparently, her dad got a raise and was transferred to Lima, so they had to move there.

"Quinnie, we have to go now." Judy softly said.

Oh yeah, after her attempt, Lucy managed to convince her parents to get her a nose job, and she insisted that they start calling her by her middle name instead. When I confronted her about this, she told me it was some kind of coping mechanism and that it was going to give her some sense of peace to start over.
She assured me that she is still the same Lucy and that she wouldn't change like Cady Heron from Mean Girls. Turning away from me, forgetting that she was my friend, and becoming plastic.

"No! I don't want to go!" She said this, burying her face in the crook of my neck.
"Just give us a minute, please." Judy nodded and gave me a sad smile before walking away with her husband.
I took a deep breath, reminding myself that even though it hurt, they had to go now.
"Lucy, look at me, please." I said, wiping the tears from my cheeks.
"No, I don't want to leave." She shook her head.
"Lucy, please."
She finally looked up and sniffled. I really don't like seeing her upset or sad.
"Look. This is going to suck a lot. But this-" I motioned to the truck, "-is not going to stop us. We've been through worse, and we still made it. You moving is not going to be our limit."
