My Best Friends Promised Me

"I really don't wanna leave. I love you guys, you're my best friends!" I cried.

"We don't want you to leave either"

"But you have to go."

"Hey let's make a promise.
One we can never ever break," He said, smiling hopefully. "I promise we'll meet again one day, all 6 of us."

He held out his hand in the middle of the circle we standing in. One by one, each of us slapped our hands on top of his until it was just me left.

"C'mon Jade, promise us."

I smiled and place my hand on top of theirs.

"We promise we'll all meet again!" We cried out, throwing our hands up in the air towards the setting sun.

Jade is a 10th grade student of Bennett High. She spends most of her time alone because she doesn't need anyone. Why?

Because her best friends promised her they'll meet again.

When her friends, all 5 of them, transfer to her school, things have changed. Each of them have very different lives and dreams to back then. But will they remember the promise they made 6 years ago?
