Another two part one shot for my frequent and lately seems to be my only requester, im_Asher. But that's OK, I like writing for them.
A/N: Picture from MGK's Instagram. Flashbacks will be italicized, besides the lyrics. And lets pretend TRL (Total Request Live) is still around.

_______________________**Flashback #1**
(Ten Year Old MGK & Karim: Middlesboro, Tennessee)"Class, we have a new student. Everyone say hello to Colson Baker. He comes to us all the way from Cleveland, Ohio." Fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Drayden announces to the class.
They all say hi or hello.
"Now, Colson everyone here uses a buddy system. It just so happens there is one group of three, I will break them up so you will have your own buddy. Katie and Jace, I'm sorry but Karim will no longer be in your group."
Katie and Jace Awed in disappointment.
"There is an empty desk beside your new buddy. Go and sit there. Karim, will you raise your hand?"
A girl with blonde hair pulled into a ponytail raises her hand and Colson walks towards her.
Mrs. Drayden calls the class back to order.
"Everyone, turn your math books to page 115. Today, we are going to learn about positive and negative integers."
Karim leans over and says, "I'm glad I got paired with you anyway."
Colson replies, "Why?"
"I wanted a new friend. Don't get me wrong, Katie and Jace are nice. I just wanted a break from them."
Colson looked at her, "I'm your friend? I made a friend on my first day!! That never happened at my previous school."

**Flashback #2**
(MGK & Karim in their last year of Middle School)"I can't believe we've been friends for almost four years, can you? We're going to graduate together." Karim says to Colson.
"Thanks for being so nice to me back then. At my old Elementary Schools, I was always picked on."
"You never told me why you moved around three times. Will you tell me now?"
Karim and Colson were then joined by their friends: Katie, Jace, and Oliver.
"I was an Army Brat. My dad was restationed. And now that he's on the injured list, we can stay."
(Five months later - May 16th: Middle School graduation day)
"Karim Justine Asher... Kathryn Jane Ballas.... Matthew Jace Ballas.... Aubrey Alexandria Ballerini... Richard Colson Baker.... Oliver Jacob Catsolpolis."
Today is the day that will be a historical mark in the young friends lives: They are graduating Middle School.
After the ceremony, the friends met to discuss the evenings festivities.
Karim told her parents to go on home, as she will get a ride from Colson.
"So me, Colson, and Oli will go to Katie and Jace's place tonight to celebrate and at 6:30, all of us will come back to my place. Then, tomorrow we will go to Oli's first and then Colson's."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The party was roaring and they had fun until it was time to go to Karim's.
When everyone arrived, Karim had a gut instinct that something was not right.
The friends all walked in together and saw her parents and older sister, Suzanne, sitting on the couch.
"Oli, Katie, Jace, and Colson there is food and punch in the kitchen. You can help yourselves. Karim, we need to talk to you." Her dad said.
The friends left for the kitchen and Karim walked and sat across from her dad.
"As you know, I have been with the publishing company for ten years..." He went on, "Well, my boss just called and I got promoted to President."
"That's great dad!" Karim said excitedly.
"Karim, honey. The President job is for the Austin, Texas branch."
Karim's smile immediately turned to a frown.
"When are we moving?"
"Sunday."
"Two days!!! How am I going to say goodbye to all of my friends in two days?!?!?!? I promised Colson I would go to prom with him when we are Seniors!! And now we're moving to a fucking hick town after I have celebrated what is supposed to the happiest time of my life!!!"
