Lollie Parker

Lollie stood at her locker.

Nothing from Noah in the past couple of days.

He was joint to the hip with the others.

"Still no decision on Africa?" Maya asked.

"No."

"How can I pretend that this isn't happening when you keep bringing it up, Maya?" Riley asked.

"Africa is seven thousand five hundred seventy six miles from New York." Maya said.

Lollie sighed, "Why'd you look it up?"

"Because you're already too far away and you're standing right here." Maya said, "We need to face this, Lollie. This is the end of us."

"How could you say that?" Riley asked, "How could you even think that?"

"This isn't the end of us. It's only the end of us if I say yes. Which I haven't done yet."

"We'll be together forever no matter how far we are." Riley said.

"Do you remember our third best friend Kerri Abelson?" Maya asked.

"Oh, yeah." Riley smiled, "What happened to her?"

"She moved across the street."

Lollie sighed, "I'm not Kerri Abelson. I'm Winter, I'm Lollie, I'm Ollie, and right now I'm right here."

She shut her locker and walked into the classroom, Maya and Riley following behind.

Once the three of them walked inside, it was silent, Maya and Riley taking their seats.

"I'm still here." Lollie softly smiled, "No need to lack such emotions. Nothing's happening right now."

She walked towards her desk, she grabbed Lucas' face, "Especially you."

"It's because it is happening, Lollie." Farkle said.

"How would you know?"

"Look at the board."

"Belgium eighteen thirty-one." Mr. Matthews said, "The Netherlands was a group of friendly states who thought they would stay together forever..."

"I don't like that." Lollie said, now sitting.

"Belgium eighteen thirty-one is us." Farkle said.
