ｎｉｎｅ ｍｏｎｔｈｓ ｌａｔｅｒ

I walked around the dance studio and smiled. It's been nine months since I last saw Lucas. Nine very long months.

The day my counselor called my parents, I was beyond thrilled to see my parents okay with me going back to Chicago. My mom didn't want me to leave, but she knew I needed to escape a little bit.

That Monday morning I went to school but just to return books and assignments. I didn't tell anyone not even Stefani I was going back to Chicago. So when I stepped in my first period. Mrs. E thought I was just late.

"Kim we're not going to have to deal with this all year are we-"

"No, no of course not. I just came here to return my books and assignments."I held up the papers in my hand.

"Oh, are you transferring?" She asked.I nodded and bite my lip. "Where to?" She asked as she took my papers.

"I'm going back to Chicago..." I said slowly.

She nodded slowly. "Is your family joining you?"

I shook my head. "No, um, they're staying here..."

"Don't mind me asking, but why are you going?"

I looked around my class. I searched my classmates, hopping I would find the answers in them. I didn't find a single answer. Instead I found sad and depressed looks from my friends.

"Kim?"

The bell rang and I jumped up scared out of mind.

Everyone stepped out the class.

"Lucas and Kim stay here."

The color drained from my face. I looked at all my friends who didn't say anything to me. I didn't blame them. I'm pretty upset with myself as well.

"I know you two dated. I'm positive on that. Im just not sure how long you two been together. "She said as the class was now empty. "I also know you two must of cared for each other a lot."

I didn't say anything. I just looked down at my outfit. Blue skinny jeans, my Addis slippers and my white t-shirt with the picture of the Precious Moments characters.

"Kim I hate to see you leave for a break up." I didn't say anything. "Believe it or not Kim, you're one of my top students."

I didn't say anything  to that either.

"Kim, why are you really leaving?" Lucas begged.

I looked up at Lucas. He saw the tears I cried. "There's nothing here for me Lucas. I don't belong here. I belong with my grandparents." And with that I walked away.

I haven't seen or heard from Lucas. The first two months I was gone he called non stop. It stopped when he got together with Emma. I see it on his snap chat, his and her Instagram and Twitter.

First time I seen it I cried. I cried a lot. I was dating someone else... but I ended it since I knew I wasn't ready.

A lot of good things have happened to me in Chicago. Once I got here to Chicago they told me I have enough credits to graduate. That I was really happy to know and beyond more thrilled I could get out of high school faster.

My family was thrilled. They're coming tonight to my graduation. I haven't seen them since spring break when we went on a family vacation to California.

I FaceTime Zach and Xavier every night. Those boys are idiots but they make me laugh. Everyone is good and still the same.

I still talk to everyone but Lucas. I recently found out Stefani and Christian are together now. Which I'm happy for them. It's about time if you ask me.
