It was the day I never thought would happen.
My last day in college, Im walking past my classes, while everyone seemed to cheer in joy?. Classmates hugging, laughing, and whispering. I was only one, walking alone like a little dog lost from its owner?, I stood in front of my locker, staring at it for moments, I open it looking at the photos I hanged up on my first day here, Now would you look at that, last day of me in this country and college.

I notice my friend calling me, "Julia!" She shouts, I take out my books, and bag, throwing everything — everything that meant to me — in that bag...that was going to be thrown out later. It hurt me at that moment so much, but I couldn't show that pain at all. I close my locker, my friend runs to me as she pulls me in a hug
"Julia Hayes!, cheer up, it's our last day" she shouts, those words affected me more, hearing it again, again. I sigh, letting out a breath.

"Why are you so, damn happy?" I ask confused, pausing, I lift a brow, "I'm leaving you, forever and you seem happy?" I spoke, my tone filled in disbelief.

She looked at me, before shifting her eyes down, just to not have eye contact with me.
"Julia, I'm just happy... we're done with this place-" I didn't even let her complete, "Don't, Im heading home, I'll miss you Lia, don't forget me, you have my contact..." I whisper, by then I  push her away, as I walk slowly with tears streaming down my face, now I'm looking down to cover my face.
I could feel everyone's eyes on me, I just kept my head down, Lia turned back and I could sense that and knew she was in disbelief about my current behaviour.

And I seemed like I cared less, but that was far from true, I just wanted to get home now.
