I zip close my luggage bag and place it near my bedroom door. My bedroom is completely empty except for my bed and my wardrobe. All of my clothes are already at my new house in Chicago. My dad got a promotion, he has a government job, so we're all moving out there so he can be close to work. My mom doesn't mind because she's a lawyer and a well known lawyer too, it'll be easy for her to find clients where ever she goes. It seems to me that I'm the only one who isn't excited to be leaving. I mean I have a life and a reputation here. I have friends who love and adore me. I'm happy here. It feels like no one cares that i'm dreading this move. I mean it's going to affect me the most, I'm their only child. I get that this promotion is a huge step in my dads career but I just wish my parents would understand that it's not going to be easy for me to adjust to this new change. Even if were just moving a few hours away. 

I took the initiative and went and researched the school I'll be attending and to be honest my new school isn't that bad, they have a pretty decent volleyball team and seems like an academically achieved school, however, I like my current school just fine. I know my friends are going to miss me, especially when school starts next week. My whole summer vacation was me chilling with all my friends and talking about how much were going to miss each other. I'm going to miss them all very much, but there is someone else I am going to miss even more, my boyfriend, Luke. Luke and I have been dating for a year and a half ever since he asked me out in grade 10. Luke is one year older than me so he's starting his first year in college once the summer break is over. I know I'm only 17 but I really do love him and I know he loves me too.

I sit down on my bed and take one long last look at my room, this will be the last time I'm in here. I stand up and put my black hoodie on over my white tank top. I grab my luggage bags and carry them down the stairs and out the door to my car, a white BMW, throwing my bags in the back seat. As I close my car door a pick-up truck pulls up in front of my house, but not just any pick-up truck, it's Luke's pick-up truck. He gets out of his truck and walks over to me. I lean against my car and smile as the cool breeze blows through his short brown hair. He rests his hands on my hips and I look up and stare into his green eyes.

"Hey Tris" he says with a small smile.

"Hey" I say

"You all ready to leave?" he asks.

"Yup" I say,  " I'm really going to miss you, you know" my smile fading.

He takes my hands in his and says "I know and I'm really going to miss you too, but we can always text, call and Skype each other everyday" I smile and kiss him, wrapping my hands around his neck. He sets his hands on my hips again and moves closer to me, deepening the kiss. I run my fingers through his hair and he puts one hand on my back pulling me closer to him. His finger finds a slit of bare skin. His skin is soft and cool. I was really enjoying the moment but I had to leave, my parents were expecting me, so I pull back.

"My mom wants me home before 7 and it's just past 3, I'll have to leave now because rush hour is a 4 and I need to get a head start if I'm going to get there in time." I say looking at him.

"Okay" he says pulling me into a hug.

I pull back and stare at Luke with tears in my eyes.

"Hey, it's going to be okay" He says assuring me.

" I love you, you know" I say a tear rolling down my cheek.

He wipes it away with his thumb "I love you too."

I quickly kiss him on the lips, check to make sure the front door is locked and get into my car. I start my car but before I drive off I roll down my window "Bye Luke."

"Goodbye Tris" he says, with a small smile. I drive off and look through the rear view mirror and see Luke waving at the car. A tear escapes my eye and I quickly wipe it away.
