       'I swear to everything I love if you don't come back and visit during winter break i'll kick your ass Rashford.' I said to my best friend as he packed the last of his suitcases in his dads trunk.
      'How could I not come back to see the fiery dragon that is my best friend ?' Marcus smiled enveloping me into a tight hug and few tears fell from my cheeks. At just 18 my best friend was leaving me at 17 to suffer in school alone as he trudged off to be Manchester's new wonder boy.
      'I'll be 18 when you get back.' I smiled and he gave me a weak smile back.
      'I love you dragon.' He smiled hopping into the back seat of his dads car.
      'I love you most Lion.' I smiled and waved off as the car drove towards Manchester. I slumped in my bed when I got back inside and stared at the ceiling where there was a small dent from when Marcus and I were jumping on the bed and hit our heads so hard that the ceiling caved a bit. Just enough so that we could remember and our parents didn't notice a thing. I let out a sad chuckle and felt my phone vibrate next to me.

dont miss me too much eh? i just left loser - Lion

i don't even miss you what are you saying?- Dragon

     I locked my phone and put it charging. I tried to fall asleep so that school would be bearable tomorrow even without my Lion.
