We are making progress:

Sarinas POV:
Me and Xiangcheng sat in front of the computer, having the light from the computer flood the room. We've sat in the dark like this for 3 days, It's been 5 days since we submitted our videos. The room reeked with the smell of multiple types of drinks, I drink beer she likes Soju. The smoke from our electronic lung killers swirl out from our mouth. We've been listening to my favorite album the past couple of days 'Sunset Season'. Every song makes me feel a different something. We wait and wait in front of our brain killer until we hear a ding. Me and her both look up quickly. A little bubble was pooping out from the right side of my email box. I put my hand on the mouse and click it the light from the computer gets brighter. It was an email from the school, 'Hello, this is an email from The School of Arts. We would like to inform you that Sarina Preston and Xiao Xiangcheng have been excepted into class 4' me and Xiangcheng look at each other and smile,"Well...We did it!" I nod and hit my Juul again. "Yes we did we got into class 4 out of 5 so that means 3 classes are full already, we are lucky." She nods at me, " This year you have to make more friends we don't know if we are gonna have all the same classes." I shake me head from side to side and stand up from my seat. "You need to make friends too I'm not the only one, we should go outside we've been in this room for to long it's too dark in here." I said putting on my coat. She does the same. "You act like it's actually daytime." I take out my phone from my back pocket she's right. According to my phone it's 2AM. I shrug, "Better outside than inside." With that we made our way to my favorite place outside...the golf course near my house. So many of my life events have happened here. This is where I first met Kevin Moon. My childhood love and my best friend. I haven't been talking to him, we haven't actually talked for 4 years. I like being with Xiangcheng more. It's better to be close to a girl than a boy you can share everything with her she accepts you how you are. Sitting down under a tree we each take out a pack of cigarettes. "Our electronic lung killers are good for the inside, real lung killers are good for the outside." She takes out a lighter and we each lite a cigarette. "Do you think your trust issues will get better?" I shake my head, "Once a Sarina always a Sarina. My trust issues and anxiety can never be cured." She nods knowing what I mean. I chuckle flicking my ashes. "So many things have happened near this tree. It makes me hate it but I also love it because of you and Kevin." She tilts her head in question. I sometimes forget she doesn't know about Kevin. "You say his name so much and I still don't know who he is." I hit the cigarette again, "And you never will. He's not your business and right now he's not mine either." I sit up on my knees and touch the grass. "What are you doing you fucking weirdo?" I glared at her, " I just like nature." I laugh, "Its your fault I'm like this. It's fun outside she said it'll be fun in the sun she said." She shook her head at me chuckling, "I didn't think you would take it seriously." I look up looking at the stars, the night looking darker than usual, "tomorrow will be a good day." She said doing the same. "How do you know?" I asked confused. She shrugs, "You like the rain right?" I nod. "Its darker than usual that means clouds, clouds lead to rain. People say rainy days are the worse days but they are usually good when it comes to our friendship. We leave to school soon. We get to start a new life and try and figure out new hobbies find out what our better selfs are. I'm proud of you for gaining that confidence Sarina and I know we will make new friends together and loves life's...maybe." I laugh, "Your always so positive. We will find out our school and everything soon. This doesn't mean that we are going to stop being ourselves. So if we get kicked out the first week of school what are we supposed to do?" She shrugs laying down placing her head on her left are looking at flowers and playing with the grass. "We'll just have to figure our life's together. Like we always do." I nod and get off of my knees getting up from my spot throwing my cigarette over the fence. "Do you want to stay here or go back inside?" She stands up and throws her cigarette over the fence as in a mocking way. "Let's go inside." I nod throwing myself over the fence and she follows me. The walk home was nice and quiet, but I began to think of it...we don't really know what our life is gonna be like after this change. What if nothing goes the way we think it will?
