Moved

Chapter 1

"I'm moving,"
"Your joking right?"
"No I told you a week ago and you laughed it off."

Fiddling with the hem of my sweater I stare out at the trees ahead of me, the park me and my best friend grew up in quiet and deserted. " I thought you were joking," I whisper.
" I wouldn't joke about this, you know that Cam." I look over to my best friend, hazel eyes staring into mine.
" Don't give me that look," I mutter looking down at my feet.

" I leave after winter break," my friend stands up, pushing her hair out of her face. It's a cute gesture.
"That's in three weeks," I point out. Hoping I heard wrong. My best friend couldn't just surprise me with a walk in the park and a bag of chips and say she was moving in less than three weeks. It wasn't fair, she's all I had. " The rest of our friends will leave me once you leave."
"No they won't, don't think like that," Alex says, putting a hand on my cheek. I feel the tears burn my eyes but I refuse to lose it just because she's moving away.
" Yes, yes they will," I say shutting my eyes.
"Let's go back to your house, yeah?" Alex say moving to get her bag and water bottle.

We walk in silence to my house. A look of confusion on my friends face. I walk with a swirling mess of thoughts inside my head. Everything from what I'm going to wear tomorrow to Alex's inevitable departure race through my mind.
The air is crisp, the trees bare and the wind biting. It's the middle of December, I haven't gotten used to the cold. Usually by now Alex would've offered her beanie to me, but the way she chews her lip tells me she's lost in thought.
It's when my house gets into view that she speaks, voice shaky, "At least I'm just moving schools, not countries."
I wait a few seconds before speaking, "Yeah, a different school, in neighborhood forty minutes away."

I can't stop the bitterness that seeps into my words.
