I was about to leave when I hear Sebastian.
"Aleena, can I talk to you for a minute?"
I was kinda panicked. Everything seemed to be fine but the tone he used in his voice worried me.
"Okay" I said trying to look okay.
We went into the kitchen to talk alone.
"Monday, can I see you before the music theory lesson, at the coffeehouse, I really need to talk to you about something alone and I can't talk about it right now. It's really important." he said
"Alright, it's everything fine, should I worry?"
"No, not really. Everything will be fine"
"Okay, see you Monday then"
"See you, take care"
I left the house more concerned than I came in. What wanted Sebastian to tell me? He said I should mot worry but with the other things that I have in my mind like Matt and Ivy I am worried. I am always worried. I try as much as I can to run away from drama but I just can't. As my anxiety is following me everywhere, now it looks like they are best friends, and they follow me together. Anxiety and drama. One true pairing.
As soon as I got home I changed into more comfortable clothes and made myself a cup of tea as usual. Sebastian could've just texted me that morning to meet him, why did he had to tell me nearly two days before. I realised that it was something he really wanted just me to know, something that he didn't want Matt and Ivy to know. I went to bed and I quickly fell asleep, pushing my curiosity and thoughts away.

*one day later*
My Sunday was pretty much boring. I did some groceries, cooked some food for the week, revised for some lessons, so on. I woke up Monday morning 10 minutes before the alarm, thing that usually doesn't happen. It happened because I was going to meet Sebastian, thing that I was really looking forward too. I quickly ate breakfast, got ready and left the house. The waiting was nearly over, and I could finally found out what Sebastian wanted to say. This situation puts a lot of pressure on me, because one of the things I hate the most is lying. And that's what I am forced to do now. Not lie, but not tell Sebastian the truth about what I saw. I'm not being honest with him. And I got to be honest with him if I want to be his friend. I have decided that later this week I will speak to Ivy and Matt in private, to find out what was that. I quick 5 minutes hook up? It's there something going on between them?
I got to the coffeehouse where Sebastian was already waiting for me.
"Hey, sorry for being late." I said smiling.
"Noo, you are not late. I am early.. Okay so I'm gonna go straight into the subject" he said being very serious.
"You are the first one to know, I didn't tell Ivy yet because I am not sure how she is going to react and Matt can't keep a single secret in his little brain" he said laughing.
"Okay are you going to tell me what is happening or you are gonna make fun of Matt?"
"Ok ok. I am leaving. Friday"
For a few seconds my mind went black. I couldn't understand what my ears just heard. I was shocked.
"Wait what?" I said, nearly shouting.
"Okay, don't panic. Friday I'm leaving town. For two weeks. Not forever. I'm going to America. My dad opens a new hotel in New York, he wants me there with him and then we can spend some time together as a family, which we hadn't in a really long time" he explained really nicely.
I got so scared. I really thought that he was leaving for good.
"Okay, that's really cool. Have fun. I mean I'm really happy for you."
"Well, that's the good thing. The bad thing is that Ivy's birthday is in one week. which means I'm gonna miss it. That's why I am afraid to tell her. I think she is going to do a scene"
"Too bad you can't do anything about it. I mean it's your family and you are here for her the rest of the year so"
"Okay. Now, I need your advice. If you were my girlfriend, and you had your birthday in one week which would be the best time to tell you that I can't be there" he said making a puppy face.
"Well, I think that with the puppy face and some drinks you can tell her tonight. I mean it is better as soon as possible. You can't call her on your way to the airport telling her «Hi I'm sorry I can't come to your birthday party, I gotta leave for New York». Nono, that's not how you do it. Tonight it's the time"
"Okay. Thank you. For listening and not judging and everything. I've known you for like a week and I can tell that you are one of best friends"
"Anytime. Now, lets go to class, shall we?"
"Yes." He said pulling out a smile which revealed his cute dimples.
On our way out we bumped into...
