I'm Brooklyn Rose Williams. Brooke for short. I'm a Senior in high school but I graduate in 3 months. It's my dream to be a hair stylist. It's been my dream ever since I discovered that I had the talent, but for now I'm stuck working at my mom's cafe, at least until I graduate that is. My best friend Mack and I have been inseparable since kindergarten and that won't change even when we go to college, because we are going to the same one! Mack and I have the same dream to go to the UK for cosmetology college, and it came true! We both got in!
Then there's my boyfriend, Ethan, I'm worried about him. We live in LA and he got an in-state scholarship to Stanford, for football. He told me that if end up going to the UK for school he will break-up with me. That made me upset but part of me understands that long distance is hard. The the other part of me wants to try the long distance and stay together. I don't even know what to do with him anymore. I guess we just need to talk about it.

"BROOKE!" I heard the seemingly familiar voice shout across the quad. It was Mack. She's Probably the loudest person on campus. "Oh my god guess what!" she screamed again. "Yes Mack," I said holding my ears. " Matt texted me last night!!" She whispered surprisingly quiet so that no one would hear her. By the way, Matt has been her crush since 8th grade and hasn't given up. I know that sounds crazy, but if you knew Mack you would understand.
"Oh my god! That's great! What did he say?" I asked.
"He said, Hey whats the math homework?" Mack said.
"Wait. that's it?" I looked at her with a huge grin.
"Yeah. Stop! Its a start and that's all that matters!"
"Ok, ok whatever you say Mack." I said as we started walking to class.
The first half of the day went by pretty quickly. I was already at lunch and I was starving. I went to our normal lunch table and sat down with Ethan, Mack and a bunch of Ethans friends.
"Hey Brooke, can I talk to you for a minute. Alone?" I heard Ethan ask from beside me.
"Yeah sure." I responded slightly nervous about why he had to talk to me alone.
We got up and walked away.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Well, I need to know. Your answer." Ethan said.
"My answer to what?"
"Are you going to stay here for school or go to the UK? You need to choose now, and if you choose the UK we are done right here and right now."
"Ethan, this is my dream school, and you are my dream guy. Why do I have to choose? Can't we try long distance?"
"No, because it'll be to hard for me to see you on FaceTime and not be able to kiss you. I just wouldn't be able to last very long."
"Ethan, I'm sorry but I have to choose my dream school! Mack and I are going together. I can't just leave her. She's my bestfriend there's no way I can do that to her."
"Well then I guess we are done, and I mean for GOOD!'
The moment I heard those words I started crying and I couldn't stand to stay here anymore. I ran back to the table and grabbed my stuff. I guess Mack noticed I was crying because she got up and followed me not before yelling at Ethan.
"Ethan your a real dick you know that?" She said using he loud powerful voice turning everyone's heads our way.
Then she ran after me. We decided to ditch and we both got in her forest green jeep wrangler.
"So where do you wanna go?" she said to me.
"Just take me home, I'm not in the mood." I said lazily, not caring enough to answer.
"Come on Brooke! Please! Lets at least hangout."
"Fine but I'm not staying for too long. I need to cool and just not think about him."
"Ok, just come over for an hour or so and then you can leave. We are best friends i can't just let you go home when you just got your heart broken by some dick like Ethan!"
After that short little talk we went back to Mack's house and just sat around, talked about college, and listened to music. It was pretty boring. There's part of me that thinks I should just stay, but I'm trying to get those thoughts out of my head. Me and Ethan are all ready broken up. I can't go back it's to late. I miss him already.
As I walk home from Mack's house, I see a car that looks alot like Ethan's car. Before I realize that it actually is Ethan's car, it's too late as he sees me. I ran back to Mack's house. I sit on her couch and just cry.
