A month later~~{August}

We walked out Dunkers on a Thursday afternoon.
On our way to where the car was parked, Angelica being Angelica broke the silence.

"I can't wait for the party!" Angelica says and a shriek follows.

"Of course you can't, it's Cole's party after all." I  said pushing her aside.

The sky looked beautiful at noon, its clear blue color, white puffy clouds that looked cheerful.
"But why do we have to resume?!"Angelica said with a loud groan expressing annoyance.

Ahhh school I totally forgot about that.
"What's the big deal though? It's just school." I said turning to Angelica.

"Speak for yourself, smart bitch. It's hell on earth, with devilish teachers who only reason by grades and place us in a stupid hierarchical system where we're judged by our abilities to answer questions correctly and to mold into their stupid 'expectations' without thinking about our talents, thoughts, imagination. They're all full of shit." She ended dramatically.

"Gimme a break dummy, you're just pissed cause Mr Gong gave you an F in chemistry, also you've been watching way too much anime." I said and rolled my eyes.
 
"Fuck you." She said and stuck up her middle finger.

I turned to Demi noticing she hadn't said anything throughout, which was just weird.
"Demi, you good?" I stoped walking to tap her shoulder, Angelica stopped as well. It took her a second or two before she broke out of her 'trance'.

"Yea, I'm fine." She said and plastered a smile on her face.

"No you're not gurl, what's going on?" Angelica asked.

"I'm going to Europe!" She let out a sigh of relief after.

We were all silent, still processing what we just heard
"You're what?!" Her voice caught the attention of passersby.

"Angie you're yelling" Demi commented

"Will you come back?" Angelica asked, tears starting to form.

"Don't cry, I'll miss you too!" She said and hugged Angelica
The statement did the quite opposite of what it was meant to, Angie started balling her eyes out with Demi hugging her tightly, I stood there unsure how to express my feelings, inside I felt thousands of emotions yet I was unable to express them.
What was wrong with me?
I moved towards them and hugged Demi, I couldn't wrap my head around what I truly felt but I did know that my best friend who truly understood me would be leaving me, I always thought that the only thing that could separate us would be death, yet here we were, she was moving across earth.
The hug lasted a while, after Angelica had calmed she asked Demi if she was going to come back soon.

"I don't know you guys.." she said and sighed heavily

"When are you leaving?" I asked.

"Tuesday."

"Then we'll make your last three days in America a bomb!" Angelica yelled, grabbed Demi's arm and dragged her to the parking lot of the restaurant.
I followed behind them.

Angelica stopped  the car at one of the 4 largest malls in Oakland, Victoria's Peak, with over 4thousand stores and 3 large cinemas.
"Let's go!" Angelica locked the doors of her cars and began walking.

The calm song flowing through the speakers of 'Beverly's talk' a famous and quality clothing store.

"Blue or Red?" Demi said turing to me.
I looked at her as she placed the two dresses over her body.

"Purple." I said to her with a nod.

"You guys!" Angelica yelled and speed walked towards us with a smile one could see from miles away

"I just founded the cutest matching jewelry sets for the three of us." She said and gave Demi and I a small blue metal box, I opened mine to see a gold necklace with a star engraved on it and my initials on the other side. I took it out the box to see it clearly, I looked amazing, from the twists of the chain to the diamonds on the pendant that stood out beautifully.
Demi opened the box handed to her as well, hers had the moon engraved on it and her initials on the other side of the pendant, and Angelicas was a sun. Though the designs were similar, the diamonds were placed differently for each necklace and the engravings of our initials were in different fonts.

Demi looked at the gift in surprise and rushed to hug Angelica.
"Don't be weird it's just a necklace." She said after they pulled apart.
"Now! Let's continue shopping for the party tomorrow!" Angelica yelled.

"The main character was such a bitch." Angelica said to Demi as we walked out the cinema. It was late in the evening, around 9:30, I wanted to go home and sleep so badly but I wanted to be with Demi, God knows how much I'd miss her.
"Should we have a sleepover?" I asked the two.

"You? You want a sleepover?" Demi asked surprised.

"Demi going away must really be affecting you, cus you never want a sleepover." Angelica exaggerated.

"Shut up! Yes or no?" I asked annoyance clear in my tone.

"Ofc dummy, Demi's house 11:30."

"Sure." Demi and I said together.

"Now back to that shitty Mc." Angelica continued ranting.
