As soon as i got off the bus to school, i rushed inside to get a drink of water to calm myself down. i really didn't wanna move. i couldn't leave Haley behind. i couldn't leave everything behind. there's too much going on. i know i would be happy to leave from my school's bullies, but i cant leave Haley to deal with them.
I walked up to the water fountain near our entrance, bent over it and gulped down a bunch of water. i washed my face to clear my thoughts, before Haley walked up to right behind me.
"Hey, Miko, is everything alright?" she asks, a worried look on her face.
"no, everything isn't alright! i'm probably moving and i probably wont ever see you again!" i wanted to say, but i didn't. instead i said: "yes, everything's fine."
she didn't look convinced. she asked again.
"i know that's not true. what's happening? is it something serious? did you get hurt? are you pregnant?" she was definitely overexaggerating with that last one.
i sighed. "i think my family is moving," i finally muster out, tears welling up in my eyes.
"oh.. no, don't cry! please," she begged, wiping a tear with her finger. "you know, even when you move, i bet we'll still be in touch. we can text or call or facetime, you know? we'll still be close,"
"yes, but it isn't the same as hanging out here."
that was our last conversation that day. she tried speaking more to me, but i ignored her. i went through classes, recess, and even our after school club without talking to her. i don't know what i was thinking, but my guess is nothing.
