Chapter 8
Lydia
"Hi." I smiled and sat down with the three girls who had called me over.
I was going to sit with Bentley, but I figured I needed a break from boys for a little.
"I'm Amber." The blonde one bounced oozing smiles.
"This is Jo Ella." She pointed to the brunette one with curls that were to die for.
"And that's Ruby." She said to the other blonde one who was eying a boy across the room.
"Ruby, he's gay." Amber said perky, yet bitchy.  
"No, he made out with me." She corrected. 
"Everyone makes out with you." She said bluntly.
"I know." Ruby chirped. 
"So, where ya from?" Jo Ella asked. 
"I just said that like five minutes ago." I said shyly, I guess they didn't listen.
"Yeah well we had to discuss a major prob, but tell us everything we're all ears." Amber snapped her gum and smiled showing off her pearly whites.
"Maryland." I simply said and took notes on what was on the board.
Ruby snatched my pencil away, "Notes are for nerds." She whispered and gave me a thumbs up.
"Yeah well I need to get into college." I said trying to get it back, but she hid it in her bag.
"No worries, we have them write our notes for us." Amber smiled showing me the group in the front writing a letter a second. 
"Umm, okay." I said awkwardly. 
"We can tell you exactly how this place works." Jo Ella said as she pulled out her blackberry.
"You definitely want to stick with us though, or else you'll be like a total loser." Amber giggled.
"Thanks, I actually already met some friends though." I said quietly.
"Who?" Amber asked irritated.
"Dallas, Tucker, Bentley, Annabelle, and Ollie." I said. 
"Bentley? Like Bentley Adams in the back?" Amber asked interested.
"Uh, yeah." I didn't think there was another Bentley, or maybe there was.
Amber threw her head back and laughed, "Good luck honey, he's my ex-boyfriend. I know his type."
Bentley had never mentioned an ex-girlfriend...
"Ex boyfriends are like, putting a chicken and a hen together." Ruby said and nodded.
"Ruby, chickens and hens do go together." Jo Ella said back.
"Oh." She chimed and continued looking at the boy across the room. 
"Damn it Ruby what did I just tell you!" Amber asked frustrated.
"He's not gay, gosh Amber." Ruby tossed her hair back and waved at the boy, who nervously waved back. "See." She said and stuck her tongue out. 
Suddenly, the bell rang and I gathered my things as quickly as I could so I could escape them.
"Lydia, let us show you around." Amber said sweetly and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Sure." I smiled and followed them out.

I wonder what will happen :P
Eww PSATs tomorrow! Wish me luck so I don't fail.

I like to be with you,                                             but the real you.
The one I got a crush on, you know?   ♥
I don't want to see you change.                            I like you, and
I like the fact that somebody like you sees something in me.

I’m not going to  s t r e s s  o v e r  y o u  anymore                                            . 

It    isn’t   worth   it   .
I tried to work something out,                but you just ignored it.
I’m not trying to say I don’t want you because I definitely do.
All I’m saying is I’m done chasing after you.         ♥

Chapter 2
Two weeks later

“Wake up honey.” My mom said patting me lightly as I slept. I sat up and wiped the sleep out of my eyes and looked at my now empty room. “This is it.” I sighed. I packed up the air mattress that I was sleeping on since our things were already on their way to the new house. I looked at my cell phone 4:02 AM. Suddenly, Sienna barged through the door in pajamas, no makeup, and her hair in a bun. I smiled to myself. “What you didn’t think I would come because it’s four in the morning?” She asked. I laughed and gave her a big hug.
 “Girls! Breakfast.” My mom called from downstairs.
We raced down the stairs and walked over to the counter to find two burger king bags. “Yum.” I said and started eating some hash browns.
After breakfast a cab pulled into the driveway to take us to the airport.
This was it, it was actually happening.
 “You promise you’ll visit?” I asked Sienna.
“Cross my heart.” She smiled and hugged me again. The guy in the cab honked. We put our carry on bags in the trunk and hopped into the cab. I waved goodbye as Sienna and her mom stood next to our house.
 
“Come on before we miss our flight!” My mom said frantically as we raced through the airport. Finally, we reached the last security checkpoint and they stamped our tickets. “Hoof.” My mom said in relief as we walked the tunnel down to the plane. The morning sun was still set and the sky was a dark shade.
“Attention passengers this is your captain speaking we are about to take off for Nashville please fasten all seatbelts.” The captain said over the loudspeaker.
Well, goodbye Maryland.
---
“Sweetie. Wake up, it’s time to go.” My mom said nudging me lightly.
I wiped the drool off of my chin and grabbed my bags from above.
We were standing in the airport lobby looking for a man with a sign with our name on it.
“Excuse me, miss?” I heard a familiar voice say.
I couldn’t believe it. My heart was pounding out of my chest. I turned around to see him in full uniform, with the American flag badge on next to the nametag that said T. CLARK on his camouflage uniform.
“Dad!” I squealed and jumped into his arms and felt the tears rush down my face. The last time I saw him had to be eight months ago.
“I missed you baby.” He breathed into my shirt.
“I missed you too.” I said and lifted my head off of his chest.
“You look even prettier than I last saw you.” He smiled and put me down.
The next thing, my mom and dad’s eyes connected like nothing I’d ever seen before. It’s like when they saw each other, the whole world stopped, and only they were there in that moment.
“Hey Barbie.” My dad said and kissed my moms cheek.
Only he called her Barbie. “Let’s go home.” She smiled and took his hand.
So far, Tennessee was a ten.

Chapter 1

“We're leaving." No seventeen -year old girl wants to hear those words escape her mother's mouth. "Leaving?" I asked not believing what I just heard.  I was going to be a senior in high school; my ears must have deceived me, there was just no way we were leaving our home in sunny Maryland. “I got a job transfer and it’s closer to daddy, don’t you miss him?” She asked. When you only see your father three to four times a year, of course you miss him. “Yes.” I said looking down at my feet. “When we move to our new house we’ll get to see him so much more! I know it’s going to be hard on you but it’s the best thing for all of us.” My mom explained and put her hand on my shoulder. “When do we go?” I asked. “Two weeks.” My mom told me, “You might want to start packing.” I sighed and went up the long staircase that led to my room. “Mom!” I called from my room. “Yes, Lydia?” She asked. “Where are we moving?” I asked nervously. “Tennessee.” She called up. I fell down on my bed. Tennessee?! I ran over to my laptop and Google mapped how far away it was.  Almost twelve hours. “It’s far away sweetie I know, but it’s only for a year.” My mom said trying to comfort me. “Daddy’s excited to see you.” She said trying to lighten up the mood. “I’m gonna go out for a little.” I said quietly and grabbed my keys and slipped on my flip-flops.

 
I pulled out my phone from my jean pocked and dialed my best friend, Sienna’s number.
“Hey Lyd!” She squealed
.
“Can you meet me at Starbucks?” I asked quietly.

“Sure thing, you ok?” She asked.

“No.” I cringed and hung up the phone.

Five minutes later, I was sipping on a Frappuccino waiting for Sienna. The bells on the door jingled and I looked at the door, it was Sienna. She spotted me and walked over to where I was sitting. “What is it?” She asked and sat down. “We’re best friends, right?” I asked; she nodded. “Through thick and thin?” I asked; she nodded again. I sighed, “Lydia you’re scaring me what is it?” She asked.

“I’m moving.” I said quietly. “To Tennessee.”

A blank expression covered Sienna’s face. She hugged me over the table. “Lydia, you can’t leave me! You’re my best friend for goodness sakes.” She cried not caring about the people staring at us. “I know, I know. But there is a bright side.” I said as I made circles on her back with my hand. She pulled away, “What bright side? There can’t be a bright side to my sister moving twelve hours away and missing our senior year!” She exclaimed. “It’s only for a year.” I said quietly. “How long until you leave?” She asked. “Two weeks.” I sighed. “Well, these are going to be the most memorable two weeks you’ll have.”
 

Yes, I'm back :)
