You Again

One - Prologue

"So," I said, annihilating a mob of zombies in front of me. "You coming school tomorrow?"

Me and Hunter were playing Call of Duty Black Ops II, our favourite game.

"Obviously," He said through the microphone. We were playing through XBOX Live. "Are you?"

"I'm a little ill." But if you're gonna be there then so am I.

I didn't say that of course. The truth is that I'm in Y7, and I've fallen in love with Hunter. Yes, you may think that I'm too young or whatever, but when you have such a strong bond with someone, it's crazy to not feel anything for them. I had a strong feeling that he liked me too, but we were too scared to admit it. Either that, or I was a shitty sign reader.

"But I'll be there." I finished, popping a crisp in my mouth.

"Eliana Mae Kailing are you eating another fucking crisp packet?!" He said seriously. I laughed and shook my head even though he couldn't see it.

"No I am fucking not eating another crisp packet. It's the same one from before, I just stopped eating it because I forgot about it." I shrugged and ate another one, smiling.

"Good." He laughed. "Fuck, revive me Eli, I have a pack-a-punched HAMR and I'm about to lose it."

"Fine, fine, I'm coming." I dashed through the crowds of zombies, throwing a monkey bomb into the opposite direction. The zombies followed it like sheep follow their shepard.

"You're a life-saver Eli thank you." He sighed in relief.

"Jesus Hunter you get so worked up over a fucking game it's hillarious." I laughed, shaking my head in disbelief.

"It's stressful okay?" He laughed. I smiled and took deep breaths because my heart felt like it was jumping out of my heart. "Wild horses in the night, I'm running for my life" He mumbled.

"Oh so you've become a die-hard Lawson fanboy?" I smirked, knowing I'll get a cute yet agitated reaction from him.

"Fuck you no!" He shouted. I laughed again and carried on playing our game in peace.

"Eli?" I heard my mum shout from the other room.

"B-R-B Hunter." I said before muting my mic and running into the kitchen to see my mum. "What's up mom?" I asked, leaning on the chair she was sitting on.

"...drive into the moon, I pray for something new, no matter what I do, yeeaaahhhhhh," I heard Hunter sing through his mic. I giggled slightly and shook my head.

"I need to speak to you about something." She said.

"Okay, speak." I said.

"It's... important." She said, looking down on my XBOX pad, signalling me to turn it off.

"Is everything okay?" My heart stopped. "Is it dad?"

"No, no it's not dad." She looked around uncomfortably. My dads serving in the Army, Sergeant Kailing. I haven't seen him in a couple of months, so everytime my mum wants a 'chat' with me, you can guess what would be the first thing that comes to mind. It's horrible living in fear, and nobody deserves it.
"You're moving schools."
My world stopped, my heart stopped, my life stopped.
"W-What?" I managed to get out, barely just above a whisper.
"I'm sorry we just all believe its better because you won't have to catch 4 buses a day and you get to stay home, I can drop you o ff and pick you up."
"Even if I don't want to move," I whispered. "I'm going to have to aren't I?"
✨✨✨
I was on the bus for the last time, trying not to look at Hunter. I could feel his eyes on me, and it took everything I had not to look at him.
"Eli," he said. "Please don't go."
"I don't have a choice." I said, heart breaking. His mop head of dirty blonde rested above his eyes, covering his acne on his forehead. He wore the same orange jacket with yellow shoulder pads and the purple Nike Blazers.
And then I got off the bus.

Hey!
