Vadison's Pov
I wake up and I am sore. My thighs and my shoulder is sore from last nights game. I stretch and get ready. I choose out comfortable attire. I choose out black adidas sweats and my letterman jacket. I slip on my superstars and I head downstairs to grab a doughnut (yum). I walk to school as I eat my doughnut.

I get to school and I see many people complimenting me about my performance last night. I hear, "You played hell of a game last night." I also receive cheers and high fives. I smile and say, "Thanks!" I accept all of the high fives and I go to my locker. I go get my books and go to my class to drop my stuff off. I finish and hear some voices whispering, "Did you hear that Vadison is signed at UH?" I listen intently and I suddenly realize that I didn't even tell anyone besides my friends and family. I think on how they found out. I hear a noise and it sounds like running footsteps. I look and see a figure in a blue flannel. I ignore it and go to class.

Jay's POV
I run away from the scene. I hear all around campus that Vadison is being signed at UH. I don't believe it, but I start to believe it I think shocked, "Why didn't Vadison tell me?" I am heartbroken and hurt that Vadison didn't tell me that she is being signed to Hawaii. That is over 1,000 miles away from me. I already signed at Stanford for a biology degree. I am going to be apart from Vadison and I can't bear being apart from her for a few months. I am just going to try and act normal and hope she doesn't notice.

Vadison's POV
I am still surprised that people know about my signing. I feel guilty because I haven't told Jay yet, and I don't have the guts tell tell him because he might go somewhere else for college. I am going to be heartbroken when he signs somewhere else, but we will work things out. I really hope I can work up the courage to tell him and he doesn't find out about my signing.

It is currently break, and I hurry out of my class to my locker go grab my stuff early. I want to go find Jay first instead of the other way around. I go to his locker and see him getting his things. I wrap my arms around him and say, "Boo!" He jumps a little bit and he laughs halfheartedly saying, "Wow! So scary.." I giggle and he wears a sad expression on his face. I peer into his eyes and ask concerned, "Jay? Are you ok? Is there something wrong?"he shakes his head and smiles
And says, "No, I'm fine! Nothing is wrong!" I immediately know he is lying and I say, "Jay, I know you're lying. Can you please tell me what is bothering you?" He takes a deep breath, and I endure the impact on his next words.

Jay's POV
"Why didn't you tell me you got signed to go to Hawaii?" Those were the exact words I told her. She stood there shocked for a short moment and she composed herself. She says voice barely audible, "I just don't want to make things harder for us and I don't want you to worry." I run my hand through my hair and said, "You are hurting me right now. I am your boyfriend that is supposed to help you with everything and we are going to resolve our conflicts together. The truth is,  I already signed to Stanford for biology."

Vadison's POV
I freeze and start to slowly crumble down with sadness and regret. I am so stupid for not telling him, and now we are going to be more than 1,000 miles away. I start to tear up and I say with a wavering voice, "I-I-I am so sorry. It is my fault I made you hurt and I screwed up everything for us. It is already May and it is too late to fix things. You can leave right now if you want. I deserve to be alone." I am starting to have anxiety due to my fear of loneliness. I suddenly am pulled into someone's arms.

I look up, and I see Jay hugging me for dear life. I can hear him sniffling too and I am surprised. After all of these years I knew him, I never heard him cry. He puts his forehead on mine and he whispers, "I would never leave you and let's make the rest of our time together memorable. I accept your apology and I'm not as hurt anymore.' After those words, we exchange no words. Only our actions show how we feel for each other. He crashes his lips to mine and it is a fierce kiss with passion. He pulls away and smiles at me. He leans back in and gives me a teasing peck. We start to lean in again, but the bell rings. We groan at the same time and give each other hugs goodbye. I walk to class satisfied that we made up and we became closer than other. I also realize that my feelings for him have became stronger. I do not know what I will feel when we have to part ways. I am going to be so sad when I have to leave to Hawaii. What am I going to do?
