Bad Boys are Overrated

Good Bye Stillwater Hello Studio City

I texted Amanda and Matt and told them we would meet at Daniel's Coffee Crew at 6:00pm. I got my car keys and drove down to the coffee shop and saw that Matt and Amanda were sitting down at our usual table, the farthest to the restroom which was located on the right of the parlour. I walked over to them, playing with the cross charm on my necklace, not knowing how I'm going to tell them that at this time tomorrow I'll be long gone. I sat down across from them, and started scratching at the usual spot on the table, there is already a 3-inch gash on it. I'm going to miss it, and the dot  I had stabbed with my pencil last year.
I looked up to see my friends looking at me in confusion, I stared at them, sighed, and told them everything. Once I was done and caught my breathe, I looked into their faces. Amanda started crying, and Matt looked so shocked I thought his eyes might pop from him being so wide eyed.

"But you.. But..And your.. But..wwhhhyyyy?", whined Matt. Amanda was too busy crying to look at me, she just stared at the table and bit her lip to stop her excessive gasps. "Look, we all know I don't want to leave. But, that look in her eyes, it was a look I hadn't seen since my dad, a look I never thought I'd see again. That look is worth more to me than anything in the world.". He nodded, knowing what if was like to lose a parent, having his mom absent in hos life. Amanda finaly stopped crying, she smiled at me, came to sit next to me, and hugged me, followed by Matt. "God Liv, you better invite us to your new house, we can finally go to the beach in bathing suits and not worry about freezing our boobs off.". I laughed, hugging them back and standing up. We all looked at each other, hugged one more time, and they walked to their cars as I walked to mine. I drove home, wondering when I would see my friends again, hoping it would be soon.

I got home, saw that my mom had started packing my clothes, so there wasn't much left since I didn't have much clothes. "Hey.", I said, and she looked up at me and smiled, telling me to keep packing so she could finish the kitchen stuff. I sighed, dumped my keys on my bed and just sat down on it, taking in the big change that was happening, I looked at my wall, looking up and down all the pictures on my wall. They were all of me and my two bestfriends. I was so different back then, I looked at one of us from 6th grade, saw me, Matt and Amanda staring back. I pulled it off the wall, ripped myself out of the picture and packed to rest of it away.

I continued to pack for another hour, until mom said we should go out for dinner since all the kitchen tools were all packed up.

I woke up at around 10 a.m to the sound of music and singing. I got dressed, brushed my teeth, put the remaining items i my bag and headed downstairs. I walked to the living room, and saw my mom standing on the couch. "A cooool riderr, a cool coool cool cool rider, a cooool rider, a cool cool cool cool ridderrrr. I want a c-o-o-l r-i- Oh hi hun, you're up.", she turned the music down and jumped off the couch. She kissed me on the forehead, grabbed her purse and lead me outside. The U-Haul men brought out the couch and my mom locked the door. We got in the car and I buckeled my seat belt, looking longingly at the house while my mom turned on the car. she grabbed my arm while looking out the window.

"Goodbye Stillwater, see you soon", but right when the words slipped my mouth, it sounded wrong, almost like I knew it wasn't true.
