   It suddenly began hard to breathe when every single move Michelle did was from my vision. The way her ring and pointer finger crossed every time she was nervous give me a warning.

It's just a matter of time before she says it into my face. A matter of time before I crumble. A matter of time before my reason of living exits its open door.

"Crystal...I need to tell you something," my eyes trail on her face as she looks the other way, just like in the vision, and tears up.

"I don't know how to break this to you but..I'm moving away," she paused for a while, "I have some serious issues with my uncle that I need to sort in New York."

And hearing her confirm it, has made my heart ache. Emotionally and physically.

"N-no.."I cry.

I run into her warm embrace and she starts rubbing my back.

It's been 10 minutes while we were hugging but I couldn't care less.

She whispers in my ear," M-my flight's tomorrow morning."

I just keep hugging her, dumb folded, and squeeze her as hard as I could.

Michelle, the person who stood up for my bullies since middle school, the person who will always help me with my problems, the person who has always been understanding in this dumb world, is moving away.

Noah's POV:-
***************
It's been a while ever since I saw Crystal, last time I did. It was in difficult circumstances.

"Hey babe, is everything alright?" says Jasmine while entering the room.

I roll my eyes at her and ignore her. She's the main reason I'm dragged into this mess now.

"Don't -babe- me or whatever," I stand up to leave,"I needed a date to that party, you were the one bumped into me."

"But-"

"It doesn't mean anything Jasmine."

And with that, I left the dorms and headed into the crowded hallway, hoping to find Crystal and owe her an explanation.

I mean, she also does owe me one. Why was she with Keith Posh? Why was she at the Future conference? Did Cry-

My thoughts are interrupted by a disturbing site, that I'll never forget until today.

I enter the library to find the person I'm looking for, with knees up to her face along with her chin resting on her knees, looking into an empty corner.

For a minute, I stand looking at her and observing her state.

She looks....confused.

Her perplexing emotions are all over the place. A part of me wants to sit beside her and do the same, but the other wants her snap out of it and talk to me.

"Are you done?" She claims, not switching her gaze from the darkness.

"We both owe each other an explanation," I admit.

She motions for me to sit beside her and the atmosphere becomes tense as hell.

"Why were you at the Future conference?" I say, with no fear whatsoever ever......okay maybe I'm a bit afraid she might jump on me.

"Keith wanted me to go there with him as his date....," she pauses,"but the real question is, what were you doing there?"

I gulp, she doesn't need to know what I was doing, atleast not now.

"Guys in school were making bets about getting a girl to that party then having to share saliva or whatever with her later on, even after the party," I crouch down to her level and say," I joined that bet and lost."

"And why did Jasmine, out of everyone in school, go with you?" She says.

"She was the first in my path, and I wanted to get this bet over with you know?"

She starts getting lost in her thoughts when," So Keith wanted me there, just for a-a bet?" Her voice starts to scratch into my chest.

"He isn't as he seems," I say truthfully.

"How do you know? You only just got here," she switches her gaze to my eyes.

I let out a light chuckle and continue,
"You have no idea,"I state and she squints questionably.

And on that note, I left Crystal with more thoughts to add to her ignorant mind.
