The Loner

Chapter 7: Graduation-

After years of struggling through school, I was finally free. No more school, homework, or even being bullied. I had finally escaped. No more Viviana. I can escape the cruel teachers, the crowded hallways, and the dreaded tests. I was just so happy finally be leaving.

In graduation day Lizzy and her parents came and congratulated me on accomplishing high school so well with amazing grades. Lizzy told me I looked gorgeous in my cap and gown and that she was so proud of me. I felt loved, except my parents didn't come. That made my heart drop a little bit. I mean I was their kid. But that didn't matter to them

On the last day of school I was the happiest person alive. That meant I could leave . Go anywhere I wanted. I saved four thousand dollars on my own. I barely spent a penny on myself the whole time I saved. My plan is was going to London. It's the only place I've ever really dreamed of going to. I found it modern and gorgeous. Plus all the British boys. I really didn't know how to break the news to my parents. They'll probably just let me leave. Not caring for what might happen to me. But that's how it's always been.

When I broke the news to Lizzy, she started crying. I felt terrible, but I knew it was destine for me to go. I had a huge part if me tugging at me to leave. Lizzy didn't know why I wanted to leave so badly, but I still didn't tell her why I wanted to escape so badly that it hurt. I received numerous presents from Lizzy. I couldn't thank her enough. She just shrugged it off as if it were nothing.

Lizzy told me I could only open the presents at home because she would get all emotional and start crying. So I did as I was told. Lizzy stuffed a suitcase full of stuff for me. I was really excited to open it. My heart raced with excitement!

When I drug the heavy suitcase inside my room (quietly) I unzipped the purple suitcase. I sucked in a huge breath and my eyes were stunned by how much awesome stuff she packed in there. There was everything from makeup, to clothes, shoes, and even a neon purple hair dryer and straightener. I was blown away that she would do something so great for me. I didn't know what to do.

I grabbed my phone, that I bought, and punched in her number. I had tears in my eyes. Lizzy picked up, "Hey!!" She said really loudly, "Do you like your present? I tried really hard! I really didn't know what to get you." She was talking a million miles a minute.

I finally managed to get a thank you out of all the chatter. "Your welcome!" Here we go again. I laughed to myself "Its the least I can do! I mean you are paying for your plane ticket so I figured I could help out the least bit, cause I mean you are my best friend and all." The last part touched my heart and I started balling. I was going to miss her so much.

After two hours of talking on the phone about everything imaginable, we finally hung up. My head was spinning with all the things we chatted about. I was so excited to be moving. But the worst thing to do was break the news to my parents. I figured the best time was tomorrow morning.

After thinking for hours about London, I finally fell asleep with a grin on my face.
