"Mom, dad?" I silently said and peeked in their bedroom door. They were nowhere to be seen and nor was the car. Eh they must be out of the house. TIME TO TAKE A NAP! I walked in my room and kicked off my shoes. I fell face first on the bed.

RRIIINNGG .

I groaned and got up, squinting my eyes to the brightness of my phone. It was Lily. Daaaamn it's 11 pm. I slept alot. 

"Hello?" I coughed a little as my voice was all cracked up and raspy. 

"Eva?" 

"Lily are you okay?" I shot up from my bed making my feet hit the floor with a thud. 

"Yeah can you c-come at my place?" I nodded and hung up running downstairs. Shit no car. I ran and got a cab. 

-- 

"Lily are you ok- Oh hey John" I said realizing it was her dad. He gave me a weak smile and I followed him into the lounge. Callum was there too. 

"So.... what's happening?" I said while sitting down and looking at their faces. They avoided eye contact. It's like they just killed my loved ones and were trying to confront me. 

"So you see... I have been shifted to Alaska and... Callum has been called on a scholarship there so we have to shift..." The blood from my face drained as the words left John's mouth. No no.

"That means-" 

"Lily leaves me..." I whispered and shot up from my place. 

"Where is she!?" I said as my throat tightened. 

"U-upstairs" They looked as if they saw a ghost. I ran upstairs but not ignoring what they just said "her eyes.." What's with people and my eyes?! 

"Lily?" I opened the door only to be tackled in a hug. Lily was crying loudly and her face was damp. We both sat down while she cried and I held onto her tightly. My mind was mess even if I tried to I couldn't cry. Everything went blank. If she left me... I would be super alone.... We talked for long discussing how our lives would change after this until the topic fell on this. 

"Wait Lily why did you never told me about you being some master nerd in computer?" 

"Not a nerd!" She groaned and punched my arm making me chuckle. 

"I am a master mind and been since god knows. Remember when once there was an ugly picture of Kimberley in her derp face at the state football's main screen.?" I nodded. 

"I did it" She said as I burst out laughing. 

"Seriously though and I have been working on this software which is like. You see you enter the information or picture of someone in it and it scans every web site in the world to see if that picture is there and you can take it off" 

I sat there impressed with my eyes wide. 

"Holy mother of chickens!" I exclaimed with my eyes wide and arms raised only for them to fall. I looked at her and smirked "The girley's a nerd" I chuckled as she shoved me away.

-- 

"Morning" Ajax said in a low tone as I nodded my head in acknowledgement. 

"What happened?" He asked making my eyes divert to him rather than staring at my shoes. I sighed loudly. Be selfish right? Let it all out? 

"Lily is moving away.." I said in a barely whisper. He just nodded and walked away. Wow good talk man good talk.

The day went on as I took my classes and now it was lunch. I got a simple chicken burger and some fries which were probably three days old and made my way to one of the tables. I looked around the place, this is so stereo type. Popular's group, the king and queens table. Geek table. That one normal area table. The one-tomboy-all-boys-and-a-girly-bestfriend table. I shook my head and took a bite out of my burger. Remembering that Lily was going to leave me.. Suddenly a sharp pain went like a string in my head. It started travel downwards as I gripped the edges of the table. The pain went down till my heart making me gasp for air loudly.
