School was a total bust. It was boring, and the teachers handed out nothing but homework. Thank goodness I didn't have to do it, because next week, I'm getting the hell out of here. I grab my bag and walk out into the hallway to exit the school. I'm almost toward the exit, when I'm stopped in my tracks by Taylor. I glare at him and try to move past, but he steps right in front of me again.
"What the hell do you want??"

"Konami, this morning was one of the worst mornings I've ever had. The fight with me, and Savanna has been on my mind all day. It's giving me a head ache, and I need you to help me get a hold of Savanna so I can apologize. I want things to be back to normal again! I want my girlfriend back."

"For one, I'm not helping you with anything. You've broken my best friends heart too many times, and she deserves better. Two, you've made your choice of who you wanted to be with this morning. Three, you need to take a shower."

"Why a shower?? I'm confused."

"Because when you go to bed with a dog, you wake up with fleas. Now get away from me, before you infest me, with your parasites."

"Haha very funny. Veronika is not a dog. She's actually really nice."

"Yea, too nice..."

"Chill. I mean, at least Veronika gave it up."

"If you don't get the hell away from me, I'm calling the exterminator. Oh, and if you're wondering, why Savanna didn't have sex with you, it's because she actually has respect for herself." I say as I walk past him.

"Wait! Konami I'm sorry. Please help me win Savanna. Please. I really love her."

I roll my eyes. "Obviously not, if you have to sleep around..."

" Okay.. maybe I have a weird way if showing it, but I do love her. I just need you to convince her."

I shake my head. "No. Go away. I need any bad energy before my big move."

"Big move? Where?"

"To the other side of the world. Maybe it's for the best. Because then I won't have to see your fucking face ever again."

Taylor looks annoyed. "Fine. I'll do it my damn self. She'll give in."

"Honestly Taylor, The difference between me and you is, well everything. I wouldn't lie to the people I love. I won't let anyone that I care about suffer. The difference between Savanna and I, is trust. I wouldn't trust foul people like you. I-I hate you Taylor. I really do. Now kindly leave me alone." I say as I walk out the door.
I have never told anybody that I've hated them before. I strongly despise the word hate, and I hope I never have to say that ever again.

~Moving day 5:30am
I'm up extra early today, and packing the last of my stuff. I walk into the bathroom and put my hair up into a messy bun, brush my teeth and wash my face. I leave the bathroom and walk into my room to see that my phone has a message on it. Its from Savanna: Hey call me :)
I quickly call her because I had not heard from Savanna since the day she caught Taylor with Veronika. The phone rings twice, and Savanna answers.

"Hey! Are you still packing?"

"Well kinda, but I'm basically done."

"Well I'm so excited for you going to all the way to South Korea."

"Yea same here."

"Remember our promise."

"Of course..."

"What's wrong?"

"...Nothing, I'm fine.."

"No, you aren't Konami. Now tell me what's wrong. Is it about the plane? I know you're afraid of heights, but you'll be fine. I've been on a plane plenty of times, and nothings ever went wrong."

"No, that's not it."

"Then what is it?"

"Savanna Taylor said that he wants you back, and that he'll get you, because you'll give in. He said that the reason he cheated is because you won't have sex with him, and honestly I'm worried. I don't want you with that guy."
The line went silent, and Savanna hung up.

"Well you don't have to worry about that, because I'm not getting hurt like that again."
I quickly turned around and see Savanna at my doorway.
"Oh my God! Savanna!" I say and run over and hug her. "When did you get here?"

"Just now."

"But, why are you here? My mom and I are leaving in like 20 minutes."

"Well... I wanted to see my best friend before she left for South Korea. Is that okay??"

I smile. "Of course it is!"

"Good. Now let's take a selfie before you go." She says as she holds up her phone in selfie position. I walk into the frame and we snap a couple of selfies doing cute poses, silly ones, and angry ones. I really am going to miss this girl. When I get to South Korea, I'm going to work extra, extra hard, to get her there with me.

"Konami! We gotta get on the road!!" Yells my mom from downstairs.

"Kk!"

Savanna and I hug each other tightly one last time. "I love you." I say. My eyes are tearing up.

"I love you too, and don't cry. As long as you fulfill our promise. You'll see me in South Korea."

Savanna and I hold hands going down the stairs. We have the last bit of my luggage in the hands we aren't using. Savanna and her mom help put the luggage in their car, and we drive to the airport. During the drive we were silent, and the only noise was coming from the radio. Savanna had her earphones in and I said there browsing social media on my phone. My mom was reading, and Savanna's mom was focused on drivinYep. After a while I started to get annoyed with it so, I broke the silence.
"So... What do you recommend I do when we get to South Korea first mom?"

"Well we'll need to get unpacked first honey. We have to get situated before we do anything."

"Oh, well I was hoping to go out to eat, or go shopping or something"

"Konami, did you hear what I said honey?"

"Yea but I jus-"

"Besides, won't you be tired after a 14 hour flight?"

"Maybe"

"Then we have to get you registered into high school. Get you a uniform, and shoes."

"Oh"

"Yep. It will be tiring when we do that. You won't want to do anything trust me."

I sighed. "What ever you say."

Savanna grabbed my hand and squeezed it. Her eyes getting teary again. I look out the window, and see we are at the airport. This is when I knew that I wasn't going to see my best friend in a while.

Getting on that plane sucked. I was bored, and already missing my friend, and our old house. Ugh. 14 hours is a long time I thought, and we were only two hours in. Fml. I look over at my mom beside me. She's watching a movie on her tablet. I watch what she's watching for a while, and then drift off to sleep.
