Wait what?
I blinked and poof! No more weird guy staring at me.
Maybe that was just my imagination? Or maybe it was that ghost I saw in that movie and it decided to haunt me!
I should've figured. That seller looked fishy as hell.
"Auburn, wake up you dummy!" Amber's voice resonated in my eardrums, much louder than necessary.
"Do you want me to turn deaf or something?! Geez.." I quickly covered my poor ears and took a step away from her. This girl I swear..
"At least I'm not the one who's been staring at that tree over there for the past thirty seconds." She crossed her arms and glared at me. "Sometimes I wonder why I'm even your friend."
"Because you love me."
"That one doesn't count as a reason. It's too cheesy."
"Because I give you my food. "
"It's not a valid answer. Your father's a chef last time I checked."
"Food's always a valid answer."
"Yeah that's pretty true." She huffed out of irritation and glanced at her certificate. "So.. This piece of paper represents years of hard work, right?"
"Yup." I looked down at mine and sighed. I can't believe high school's actually finished. And look what I got out of that bullshit. A freaking piece of paper.
"It's crazy right? We're finally out of there." She turned her head at me and chuckled lightly. "I'll miss those days we spent hiding in the old drama room watching your weird chinese cartoons." Oh boy, tell me she didn't go there.
I could feel the blood rush to my face."It's Japanese and you know it! And 'Your name' was the best movie ever created and don't deny it. I saw you crying at the end."
Her cheeks lightly tainted themselves pink as Amber crossed her arms. " Yeah it wasn't that bad I guess.."
I gave her a smug look and grabbed her arm, waving at my parents who were busy searching for the principal, who was my grandad's old friend.
"I'll be right back, just taking a walk here for a last time with Amber. "
I saw Mom wave back at me and dragged Amber all the way towards our Drama kingdom.
As know as the place everything started.

Freshman year :
Stupid people and their stupid laughs and..
I sighed and ran back to my cubic bubble room, the old drama room.
I never really understood why no one was using it but you know the saying : Fingers keepers.
Even if I cannot really keep it.But you get what I mean. It's just a place where no one comes and no ones talk about.
I finally arrived near the hidden condemned door but opened it anyway, making my way into that kingdom of mine.
Such a lonely kingdom.
I looked at my sketchbook and saw the ripped sheets of paper and at that point, I could not contain my tears.
The room was dimly lit as the thick curtains were closed but I could easily see all the missing drawings. Even some assignments were gone.It was worth months of practice.
"A-all my hard work.."
