"It's confirmed." I broke the laughter while everyone was busy laughing at some joke that Cole just said.
"What's confirmed?" Cillia asked while munching onto her double chocolate chips cookies.
"I'm migrating." Suddenly everyone stopped eating and looked at me.
"What?!" "Why?!" "To where?" "When?!" "Is it because of him?" They started bombing questions on me.
I'm Joann and I'm 15. I just broke up with my boyfriend, Jonathan last month because I caught him cheating on me. Ever since I broke up with him, all I ever did was to cry and cry. But just a week ago, I've finally woke up and know that he's just a jerk and not worth my tears and time.
"No, it's not because of Jon. I'm migrating to the UK because my dad got transferred over. I'll be leaving on Saturday. My parents notified the school already. So tomorrow will be the last day of school for me."
Throughout lunch break, nobody spoke a word but just to eat their food.

"Hey come on guys, I'll come back and visit you guys okay. Please, please don't be so quiet. I want to have more memories with you all so that I can bring them over to UK with me." I broke the silence after school. I hate how they are upset over the news and refuse to talk.
"Yes, Joann is right. We should have some fun now and tomorrow!" Trina added on. Everybody nodded their heads and soon they are acting like how they used to be - busy discussing where to have fun after this.

Today is my last day of school. So far everything is great. I came to school and my class actually held a surprise farewell party for me. They all came to school 2 hours earlier just to prepare for the party. I've received many farewell and bon voyage gifts.
During lunch break, just as I placed my bowl of fishball noodles on the table, someone grabbed my wrist.
"Is it true?"
"Ouch, what are you doing Jon? Let me go."
"We need to talk." After which he pulled me away.
"HEY!" I heard the girls shouting.
"Ouch! You're hurting me! Let me go!" The more I tried to struggle away from his grip, the tighter he held onto me.
After we reached a staircase, he let me go.
"What do you want?" I said as I rubbed my wrist which had turned red from his tight grip.
"Why? Why are you leaving? Is it because of me? If it is, than please stay. I've broke up with Valerie. I realised you're the one that I truly love. Please will you stay for me?" He said as he looked into my eyes.
"Maybe when you said this to me a week ago, I would be in your arms now. But it's all too late Jon. You've completely crushed my heart and you can never heal it ever again."
Upon saying that, I turned and walked away to prevent myself from crying in front of him. But my tears wouldn't listen to me and start falling out of my eyes as I walked away. He caught up with me and pulled me towards me. He wrapped his arms around me and said, "I'm sorry Joann baby. I didn't know what I did caused you to be so upset. But I really still love you therefore, I'll wait. I'll wait for you to come back and I'll win you back again."
In his arms, I could feel his warmth, his heartbeat, everything about him. What he said did caused me to flicker a little but I chose to believe that it's just lies.

I looked into the mirror for the last time. Satisfied with how everything falls.
----
"Thank you for coming guys." I hug all of them who came to send me off.
"I'll be back to visit you all. Take care!"
Hello UK.
