Dina watches as the Miller's pack up their bags and was getting ready to leave when a soft knock was heared. She watches as her mom went ahead and opened the door revealing her bestfriend Ellie

" Ellie am I glad to see you, what brings you here? I thought you guys are leaving " Dina's mother asked as she lets Ellie in
" Can I talk to Dina before we leave? " Ellie asked as she looks at her friend who was just sitting their dumbfoundedly
" Ofcourse ofcourse I'll leave you two be " Dina's mom said and proceeded to go to the kitchen to finish what she's doing

Dina watches her friend as Ellie approaches her. Ellie was wearing a blue t shirt matched with a black lumberjack flannel that fits her perfectly and jeans together with her signature converse her gray backpack with a little spaceship pin was hanging on her back

" Hey " Ellie said as she gestures to sit beside Dina on which Dina quickly complied with a nod</i>

Ellie and Dina were the best of friends the whole Jackson county knew it. Ellie's parents Joel and Tess owns the ranch and the farm on which half of Jackson's population work there while Dina's parents were Joel's business partner on their wood carving business. The two were said to be the dynamic duo born exactly on the same day and year grew up together and even go to one school together. They started school way back when they were 4 years old and finished sixth grade at the age of 10, yeah sure they were very young to finish sixth grade but Dina wished it never happened. After their graduation Joel and Tess Decided to move in Nashville together with Joel's other relatives namely his brother Tommy and her sister in law Maria and Joel's first daughter Sarah who was helping her aunt and uncle manage their own business there and now Joel decided that Ellie will go to highschool there. Dina felt sad she was going to lose her bestfriend but Ellie assured her it's going to be fine

" Y'kay? " Ellie asked with a southern accent every Miller has
" Yeah I'm cool....just I'm gonna miss you that's all " Dina answered and Ellie nodded before smiling brightly at her
" I'm going to miss you too Dee......don't worry I'll call you....everyday if I have too " Ellie said quite cheering up Dina without any hesitation Dina looks at her hamsa and gently removes it
" Give me your hand " Dina said to a quite confused Ellie
" Why? "
" Just give me your hand " Dina answered and Ellie slowly raises her hand for Dina to hold and place her hamsa
" Why are you giving me this? " Ellie asked an amused look o  her face as she inspects the hamsa on her wrist
" Just a little something for you to remember me by " Dina said smiling at her bestfriend
" Cool.....speaking of remembrance " Ellie said removing her backpack and placing it on her knee Dina follows watching every movement her bestfriend made. Ellie unzips her bag and pulls out her sketchpad stopping on a particular page that has Dina's face on it. Dina can see Ellie hesitated a bit but decided to rip the page and give it to Dina
" This is wonderful El " Dina said and smiled at her bestfriend who at that point was scratching the back of her neck one of Ellie's habit when she's nervous
" Thanks....I uh....I drew it last night " Ellie responded and puts back her backpack when a loud honk was heared making the two flinch
" Well I guess that's m-- " Ellie wasn't able to finish her sentence when Dina hugged her. Ellie remained frozen for a moment but decided to hug back her bestfriend
" Goodluck there alright " Dina said and Ellie nodded
" You too Dee see you when I see you I guess " Ellie said and Dina breaks the hug smiling at her bestfriend
" See you when I see you " Dina replied and Ellie smiled back

with one last hug the two seperated Dina's parents together with Dina proceeded to follow Ellie outside and with one final goodbyes, hugs and waves the Millers car took off. Dina watches as the car went to be unseen by her sight. She looks at the Miller's house and with one determined smile Dina comes back to her own
