Experimental Love (S4F)

The Move

*Krystal’s p.o.v*

It’s Tuesday we didn’t come to school yesterday because it was a holiday which gave me more time to figure out how to tell all my friends and teachers and school staff and even administration that I’m moving next Wednesday and I won’t even be here the whole school day because my mom is going to be checking me out and yet I still don’t know how to say it or when the right time to say it will be ugh…I could just leave but then that will be worse I don’t want to have to tell them but I know it’s the right thing to do

I walk into the school going to my locker where I see Savion and my friends that I’ve known for so long with bright welcoming smiles as they see me

I thought I looked normal… I didn’t think my nervousness would show on my face until their facial expressions turned into concern especially Miriya. I’ve known her since 2nd grade and she read me like I’m a book she wrote. Then Tatyana she’s the baby of our little group of friends I’ve known her since about 2nd or 3rd grade. Then there’s Javia known her since the 6th grade we clicked on the first day she gets me. My SnipSnip Aziza known her since 6th grade also she understands my weirdness like no other and she keeps me laughing. Last but not least Seleena, met her 8th grade and we became friends in a weird way but I love it and will never forget it. UGH I’m going to miss them all I don’t know what to expect when I tell them I know they’ll understand but I know they’ll be sad.

“What happened? Why you looking like that? What’s going on? Who did it?” Miriya started blurting out different questions back to back and it’s like I heard each one before she even asked

The others just looked at me

“I have to tell you guys something” I said looking down

“Tell us what shorty, you okay?” Aziza said looking at me

“I...I’m…” I mumbled through words like I’m going through a verbal exam I didn’t study for

“Just say it” Javia and Tatyana said at the same time sounding scared like twins

“My mom got that big promotion at work she’s been wanting I told yall about…which means…I’m moving…” I looked at them “To North Carolina”

“Say what now…huh” Seleena said running her fingers through her hair

“I’m moving to North Carolina…next Wednesday is my last day here” I said not even realizing I was crying and wondering why am I so sensitive…I cry watching some Disney movies like seriously what’s wrong with me (don’t even try to judge me)

They all hugged me like we were all one ball so many tears I’m sensitive Tatyana just a big baby so she was crying too Seleena also I even saw a few droplets escape from Miriya and I’ve only seen her cry like 3 times after all this time of knowing her it made me even more sad I didn’t know what to do

Days passed and I realized it was Wednesday morning and my room was so empty I’ve been getting texts and emails and calls from friends students club members school staff etc about how much they’ll miss me and wish I could stay. It was actually bittersweet...I’m leaving but I officially know I left my mark here in Columbus Ga and it’s a good mark that I’m proud of.

After crying some more and saying my words to my friends and stopping by the school and then we set off on the road. With 7 hours until we get there I put my headphones in and went to sleep listening to music

I wake up in a bed...in a room with all my decorations up and some added decorations that go with it this room is huge
I check the time and see it's almost midnight and my mom already enrolled me into school so my first day is tomorrow so I texted my friends and boyfriend that I'm here and safe and that I'm going to sleep I put my phone back on the charger and laid back down it was a new bigger bed but omg it was so comfortable and soft it was crazy I fell right back to sleep without even noticing
