   "Wait! So you guys disappeared to a Secret Orchard behind the school?OhMyGosh!" May squels beside me. I blush and wave my hand at her dismissly. "We just hung out May. Chill," I say. "If you say soooo!" She says with an eyeroll, giving up the subject, rolling over on my bed to be dramatic. We decided to hang out at my house after school. So here we are.

   "Anyways...who won the argument? Lilo and Stitch or Aladdin?" I ask, doing a 360° in my spinny chair I was sitting on. She sprang up from where she was laying on her back. Ready to explain to me the whole argument.

   I kept tuning in and out of her words. She just talked so damn fast.

   After about ten minutes of her rambling she came to the conclusion that she won. Meaning Aladdin was better. I on the other hand prefer to chose no side.

   "Oh, weren't you supposed to tell me about Hannah and her posse?" I remember just as she finished.

   "Oh right. So I'm not sure if you could tell. But Hannah is a rude fake Barbie bitch. She thinks she is better than everyone. And has her minions thinking the same. And of course she has boys lining up to date her and girls dying to be her," She fills me in. I nod my head.

   "What about Olivia and Tatiana?" I question, raising an eyebrow. "Olivia is a party animal and will sleep with any guy. As long as he has status and popularity. Whereas Hannah has high standards. And Tatiana is just plain out rude and snobby. She has a boyfriend, Ethan, who completely worships her and she treats him like trash. He is on the football team. How and why they are still together I have no idea!" She manages to say in all in one breath.

   I sit back in my chair trying to take in all the information.

   I get up from my chair and lay beside her on my bed. She flops back down to on her back. We both look up at the stars and planet glow in the dark stickers she helped me put up when we were in 3rd grade. They aren't glowing right now but you can still see them. I hear her sigh beside me.

   "What's wrong?" I ask. "You're going back aren't you?" She says turning her head to look me in the face. I feel my heart skip a beat.

   "Eventually yeah," I say with a sad shrug. "I can't just abandon my career and life that I have in California and the Music industry," I add. "What about us? What about Logan and James and me!? What about your parents Skylar!? You can abandon us just like we are nothing?!" She protests, her voice shaky and louder.

   "May, please try to understand-"
"I understand just fine Skylar!" She cuts me off as she gets off my bed, gathers her things and storms out of my house. I follow her to my driveway to try and convince to come back. But she doesn't listen. I can see her wiping her tears from her face as she marches down the street.

   I run back to my room and lock my door. I lay on my bed crying. She should've have expected me to have to leave eventually after Highschool ended. I can't be confined in Summerstein forever. I end up falling asleep for what feels like forever. Until I am woken up to the sound of *Blonk*, against my bedroom window. I try to shut it out but it's not working.

   I sit up and rub my puffy eyes. I look around for my phone. After ruffling the bed sheets and fishing out my phone, I try to turn it on to see what time it is. And of course it's dead! I groan at the continuous *Blonk* sound against my window.

   "Ughhh! What is that!?" I slur, dragging my feet to my window. I open my curtain to reveal Logan sitting in a chair propped in front of his window, which is directly lined up with mine. He has a Nerf gun in his hand. Suddenly I notice the dozens of Nerf bullets sticking to the outside of my window. He gives me a small smile before gesturing for me to open my window.

   "What took you so long?" He asks, standing up from his chair. "Well I was asleep," I answer with an eyeroll.

   "Are you okay? You look like you've been crying," he asks furrowing his eyebrows and frowning. "Yeah, I'm okay," I say, not wanting to get into that conversation. After some silence he is the first to talk. "May told me and James about what happened," he sighs, bringing his hand to the back of his head like he always does when he is nervous.

   "I figured," I sighed back. I shiver and he notices. The cold air has been flooding my room with the window open.

   "I'll meet you in your front yard in ten minutes. Dress warm!" He perks up. "Wha-What?" I stammer in surprise. "Come on, please?" He begs adding puppy dog eyes! "Yeah, okay." I reply and shut my window making sure to close my curtain. I walk over to my closet and pick out an oversized sweater, leggings and some fuzzy boots.

   I decide to leave my hair down and slip on a beenie as well. I leave my phone behind. What good will it do me if it's dead? I grab my purse and slip it on, tossing my wallet into it.

    "Hey," I greet Logan as I see him already waiting for me outside. He is wearing a red hoodie with our school's logo on it. He really does have a lot of school spirit. His hair is a bit messy but cute. Like always.

   "Hey, so are you ready?" He asks rubbing his hands together. Not sure if it's beacuse of his "master plan" or because he is cold.

   "Where are we going?" I say as we begin to walk, trying to sound casual so he will tell me. He just smriks and shakes his head in a "no" motion. Guess I'll have to wait to find out.
