"Sorry Brayden. Got to go. Get out of my house while your at it." I say as I hurry to put on some clothes.

"Where you going?" He asked.

"I'm meeting Luke at starbucks. Now get moving."

"Really? Your ditching me for that tool?"

"Shut up and go." I dont even wait for him to leave first. I run through the door and all the way down to the lobby, not stopping to catch my breath. I was at starbucks a few seconds later.

Pulling open the door I step into the crowded place, I look around for Luke.

Spotting him at a far away table I make my way through all the sweaty bodies. Eew.

"Hey Luke. Whats the matter?"

He has a worried look on his face.

"Got bad news for you. I'm leaving town."

"What? Why? Are you coming back?"

"No I'm not. My grandmother passed away. Out in Maine ya know. Were heading out there to take care of everything. Were low on money so were just moving up there. I'm so sorry Teddy."

"Oh Luke." I move to his side of the bench and curl to his side. He was my best friend. I really didn't want him to leave.

We just sat there in silence. Thinking I should break it I say, "Does Tyler know?"

"Yeah. But he could care less if I'm leaving or not. Hes to busy with Candy. You created a monster Teddy."

He smiles at me though.

"Of course he cares! Who wouldn't?"

"Most of the people at school don't. You and Tyler be the only ones. You must have noticed I don't have many friends out here."

"Il always be here. You bettet email me, call me, or text me sometime. I don't think I can live in this place much longer. And I haven't even been here that long."

"I'm sure you'll figure it out. Look sorry I have to go. Il talk to you sometime soon."

He gets up and pulls me into a hug. A very long breathless hug.

"Il miss you." He whispers. And with that he walks away and doesn't look back.

I just sit there in silence. Staring at the table, I noticed all the initials carved in. Like really? Who brings a knife into starbucks?

"Hey." I look up to see Brayden standing over me.

I just look at him. I don't feel like smiling. I didn't see how I was going to last a whole year out here. The day after I graduate Im going to hightail out of here. I needed a distraction. I needed it now.

"Come on Brayden. Its time to break a few little rules."
