Ella's POV
/////////////
Three days ain't that long, right?? Right?? Oh, who am I kidding. This is going to be a nightmare.

After Genomia left yesterday, I kind of got into a weird mood, like I was suddenly very lonely. My parents didn't mention it. They probably thought some stupid drama happened at school again. If only they knew.

Anyway, time to get up. Or something. I'm so tired, almost didn't sleep. Guess that was to be expected.

I dress lazily, and I don't bother to eat much. I'm almost late, but I still make it in time to catch the bus.

It's funny how much your life can change in one single day. I always thought this kind of thing couldn't happen, not to me. Apparently, I was wrong.

The morning passes by quickly. Everything around me is so numb. I feel like i'm surrounded by a thick cloud. It's strange, but not unpleasant.

Lunch time finally comes, and I hurry as much as possible to find my friends.
I sit at the table. Everyone looks at me.

"Dude, are you okay? You look like me after three days of Comiccon" says Emma, who's sitting next to me.

"Could be better. Not important right now." I pause for a few seconds. "Y'all, we really need to talk about something."

Sam laughs. "If this is about you coming out to us, you already did that a while ago."

"Yeah, ah ah, very funny. Can we go somewhere else? This is really important and I don't want people listening." They all look at me in an intrigued way, but everyone quickly follows me outside. We sit on a quiet spot under a tree, in the yard.

Juliann awkwardly clears her throat. "Sooo.... what's the big fuss about? You aren't in trouble, are you?" I appreciate her concern.

"No, don't worry. It's something... else. Remember that dream i've been having?"

After I finish my telling them my story, the whole group is looking at me with unreadable expressions.

Emma ends up breaking the silence. "Well shit, you better write us a letter once a week once you're gone, or i'm gonna have to hunt your ass down."

"Wait, what? I never said I was leaving. Haven't made a decision yet." They all look at me as if i'd just said I was straight.

Xena, to my surprise, is the one who answers me. "Honeslty Ella, stop lying to yourself. We all love you, but it's evident what your final choice is going to be. We'll miss you, but if you're happy, then that's fine." The whole group nods in agreement.

"I don't really know what to say.. You're probably right, Xena. This is weird, even for me, but if I do leave, then I promise i'll find a way to keep in touch with you guys. I'm so glad you all believe me."  I think I might be crying. I don't know. I don't really care.

Nikola looks at me softly. "C'mere girl. It's okay. Everything is going to be fine." Guess I am crying, then. He hugs me, and soon, i'm stuck in the middle of a group hug. It feels great, to know that my friends will support me.

"I'm so glad you guys are my friends." I don't know if they hear me, but at least I said it. After a while, everyone separates. I feel better, now.

There's a bit of a silence, and Emma, like always, breaks it. "Is the emotional stuff over? Can we finally eat?" Everyone laughs, and we go back to our usual conversations, while eating our lunch. The atmosphere is still a little tense, but i'm glad I told them all about this.

The two following days after that passes by pretty quickly. Turns out, three days isn't that long.

Waiting for Genomia makes it even worse. What if she forgot? What if she didn't find her way to my house? What if she just doesn't come back?

What if everything was just a dream, again?

I'm a mess, walking in circles inside my room, waiting for something to happen. My parents aren't there yet, obviously. 

After what seems like an eternity (probably 10 minutes), I hear a knock on the door downstairs.

I run out of my room, and I almost fly down the stairs. Finally, I am in front of the door. It's gonna be okay, I tell myself. I take a deep breath.

My desicion is made.
