Chapter 2

I went to school half-heartedly that day. I mean, who would be in a good mood? A lot of people would be, but not me. My life was going to change in more than one ways. 

Right now, my only concern is how I'm gonna tell my friends about my departure to Tokyo. I walked into the classroom. Our homeroom teacher was absent today. We had our exam later in the day, after lunch. 

It was our third period when I brought up the topic. 

"How would you guys react if I moved to Tokyo today?," I asked.

"I would definitely be happy but sad," Kagura said. 

"I will be very happy for you. But, I'll be jealous, too," Atsuko said. 

"Haha. Well, it's true. I'm actually moving to Tokyo. We're gonna leave at 1:00 am today," I told them, not knowing how they would actually react. 

Kagura burst into tears and so did Atsuko. The girls sitting behind us, Puu and Ami were startled and started asking what was wrong. So, I told them too. Suddenly, everyone got so sad about it that I thought I should say that it was a joke. But, I knew it won't work at all. 

My biology exam went pretty well. I mean, I slayed. 

Later, I told my friends from class B about it and they were pretty sad, too.

I came home thinking about my physics exam, which was tomorrow. I know that I don't need to study for it at all, but I just don't want to go. That too, in the middle of the night, when none of my friends will be there to see me off. 

The only person left to talk to now was Sayami, my friend who was absent today. I texted her about her absence, and she said her grandma had her eye operation, so, she couldn't come. Her grandpa died some time ago and now this? Poor girl!

Then I told her about my moving away and she was really happy about it. But, her voice broke in one of the voice notes she sent me, saying: "Who the hell would do that? What are we gonna do? You'll be go......." And then her voice broke. She was crying so much. That made me feel like staying even more. But, I couldn't stay at all!

At night, all of my packing was done. I had a blue jeans with a black hoodie on with my white sneakers.

The night was busy with all the vehicles. A typical night. 

I was told that a lot of our family were coming to see us. But, who I really wanted were my friends. But, they weren't coming. Not at one at night. 

I said goodbye to all of my cousins and family. My sisters and Mama were crying. But, that wasn't something I usually did. I just got very teary-eyed. But, I didn't cry at all. 

Then, we left. 

I don't wanna go!
