Justine POV
Only 3 days left before we're going to Germany. We're supposed to leave at saturday, so I have to spend my time wisely with my friends. Sophia and I already met most of our family members and said farewell to them.
Suddenly my phone opened. I saw a notification in messenger. I was too curious who would it be.
And so, I opened my phone and got this message :
"Polly : Capitol Commons, Starbucks, NOW."
"Justine : Why? What's wrong?"
"Polly : Nothing. Just go now."
I didn't even bother taking a shower because she just said NOW. I asked my dad to bring me there and pick me up at 5:00. Gladly, he said yes.
5 minutes later
Once I set foot in Starbucks, I can smell coffee aroma all around me. I looked around and finally saw my friends sitting together in a circular table with soft seats. I walked up to them and gladly said, "Hey, how's it going?"
"Oh we're fine." Abby answered. I sat down beside her and put my bag beside me.
"Aren't you going to order something?" Polly asked.
"I'll do it later. So, why do you want us to be here?" I asked
"Just nothing, I just want us to hang out for the last time."
"They're not staying forever there! Besides, we're still here." Elyzze smiled at Polly whilst saying that.
"Oh yeah, we forgot to tell them." Sophia reminded us.
"What do you want to tell us?" Lei asked.
"I'm going with them." Polly said straight. She looked pretty guilty and worried that the others might get mad at her.
"Really?! That's cool!" Abby exclaimed. Everyone happily agreed to Abby's comment.
"Wait, you're not mad or anything?" Polly asked.
"No! Why would we be mad?" Elyzze said, "Look, I have plans with my dad this month, Lei is too busy studying, and Abby needs to cook for this month's culminating activity in their G.I.F.T. See? We're all busy and you're not. So, it's fine with us." She explained.
"We're actually happy that you got what you wanted." Lei said.
"Thanks Bros!!!" Polly said, scratching the back of her head. "Oh yeah. I forgot, I have to get something." I said. I actually forgot to get a drink afterwards. I walked up to the counter and chose a drink.
"Good Afternoon ma'am! What do you want for today?" The lady with a green apron asked.
"Umm... Can I get Chocolate Chip Cream?"
"Of course, ma'am. What's your name?"
"I'm Justine."
"Hi Justine, to claim your drink, please present this receipt to the counter to my left. Have a great day!" She said. After getting the receipt, I quickly went to the part where they're making my frappe. I could see the woman putting whipped cream and chocolate syrup over my drink. It made me drool a little to be honest.
"Chocolate Chip Cream for Justine!" She exclaimed.
"Right here, miss."
"Oh, here is your drink miss," she handed me over the cold drink, "Enjoy your drink and have a great day!" She gave me some tissues and stamped over the receipt. Afterwards, I went back to our table.

Sophia POV
When Justine left to take her order, Elyzze asked something, "So, what are you going to do there?"
As I sip from my Mocha Latte, I answered "Well, we're going to a school there... You know, exchange students?"
"Oh yeah..." She answered.
"But what do you expect when you go there?" Lei asked.
"I don't know," I answered,"Maybe something special."
Suddenly I saw someone approaching us. It was Justine, holding her favorite drink.
"What's happenin'?" She asked.
"Oh nothing much... It's just about Germany."
"Germany, Germany, Germany! Its all about Germany. Why won't we talk about something else?"she exclaimed.
"Like what?" Abby asked.
"A thank you." Justine answered, "Thank you for all your support these past few days."
"And thank you for being with us always." I smiled. Everybody looked so thankful too, but they can't express it through words.
"Enough with all the drama. Let's take a picture!" Lei exclaimed. She took out her pink Fuji Film Instax Camera and raised it up to take a selfie. Or maybe, what we call now as groufie since we're a group. Once she took the picture the film was starting to get out of the camera.
"Let's take one more!" Lei said.
"But why?" I asked
"Nothing...Just in case." She smiled. And so we took another picture. We did the exact same face as the last one. She kept the two pictures in her wallet for a while and put it in her bag.
"Come on! Let's go around the mall." Abby said. We all agreed to walk around the place for almost 4 hours. We played in an arcade, window shopping, eating food, and just shared ridiculous stories. We had fun hanging out for the last time. I hope that would happen too, in Germany.
