Chapter 1 - The Confession

Standing in front of me, Dan -who was 5'6 in height with a big body, I guessed because of his being part of the varsity swimming team. He had short cropped hair and shady gray eyes- he always made me smile with his jokes and that cute smile. I don't even know why he isn't so popular. He looked ten times better than I did ; I was 5'4 with hair I could never get to look like how I wanted it to. I wasn't chubby per say but I wasn't model worthy either. My brown hair matched as people say my light brown eyes and the shape of them always accented my face.

"Ely! Are you even listening to me?" Dan asks, clearly annoyed that I had day-dreamed away from our conversation.

"Oh, sorry Dan. I was just thinking about something." I apologize as I walk the hallway with him.

"Ely, please listen. This is really important. Tomorrow I'll be...," But just as he started to talk, the bell rings showing that the last class is about to begin.

"Hey, I'll see you later by the ramp okay? I have to submit my report on Greek mythology to Mr. Smith and cross your fingers that he'll pass me and my summer won't have to be stuck in this stupid school." I say as I gather my books from English lit.

"But El.."He says as he takes my hand.

"We'll have our very serious talk later okay?" I take hold of his hand and look him in the eyes."I promise." I hug him tight and start to head to the 3rd floor, leaving Dan standing in the hallway.

"Okay, it's a promise" He shouts from across the hall as he gives me a smile, hiding his dissapointment. I wonder what he wants to talk about. It must be pretty serious.

An hour later , I run over to the ramp and quickly spot Dan eating what's left of his bacon, egg and avocado sandwich, I lay my hand on his shoulder. He turns around and greets me with a warm smile.

"Hey, It's finally summer!! How'd your report go with Mr.Smith?" Dan asks as I sit down beside him and pull away a piece of his sandwich.

"I know right? I'm so excited. I have great news too! Mr. Smith loved my paper so he gave it an A- which means I'm passing!Woohoo!" I say as I playfully continue to punch Dan's arm and dance around for a bit.

"That's good to hear ely, congrats!" He exclaims as he hugs me tighter than the normal.

"So? What's your big news about?" I say acting all excited and even start drumming my lap.

"Well.." But before he can say anything, I snoop in.

"Do you have a gf huh? or are you failing?? Wait, oh my gosh you're sick!" I say trying to goof off with him, but what comes after was a surprise. He grabs my two hands and says," I'm leaving California Ely and I dont think I'm coming back."

"Wait..What?" I mumble as my smile turns to a confused frown.

" As you know, my grandma's been really sick for a while now and she needs us to take care of her. If worse comes to worse and she.. well, if she moves on to a better place. My family and I are gonna stay in her home in Florida."

As he spoke, the words started sounding blurry and my brain wasn't understanding what was happening. Dan was leaving? How could this happen? And summer had just started, I wanted to spend it with my bestfriend.

"What do you mean that you won't come back? Dan, we just ended the school year and we're supposed to spend this summer together remember?" I try to keep my tone as calm and reasonable as I can but inside I'm totally freaking out, and I know that Dan knew that I was too. He knew me too well not to.

"Wait Ely, that's not the main reason I wanted to talk to you. I need to tell you something before I leave."

"Dan, don't say that! We'll still be talking right? It's not the end of our friendship," Tears coming from my eyes as I rapidly speak.

"But i have to tell you this.. Ely, I..."

"We can still chat and.," I interrupt him.

"Ely, I..," He tries to continue.

"And we can still email each other 24/7," I join in again naming all that we could do.

"wait, Ely, I L..," He starts getting annoyed at my interuptions.

"And you can visit here once a month and we can still exchange stories and we can.." I say stating out all the possibilities if which we could still communicate.

"ELY! I LOVE YOU!" He shouts finally sick of not being able to finish his sentence.

"Wha.. What did.. did yo...you j..ju.. just say?" I stutter.
