Four Guys But One Me

Chapter 19: Four Guys But One Me

Cera's been doing better. Her mom is moving here and they're actually talking. She's still going to work for Vogue but for California now.

Me and Heather went out shopping on Saturday. After her date Drake asked her to be his girlfriend, talk about swoon city.

I haven't told anyone yet about not coming back. It would crush them. I'm already leaving early and now I'm not coming back. It's ridiculous.

Jack's been doing better. He's been going to AA meetings. I'm really happy that he's doing better.

I've been on the verge to find Maia a date to the ball. I asked Justin but he already has a date, he asked Ruby. Talk about cute. Now I should just ask Blake for her.

I walked up to his locker. He was talking to Connor. I tapped his shoulder, he turned around and they both gave me smiles

"What's up?"

"Do you have a date to the Ball?"

"Mack I'm flattered and all-"

I slapped his arm "Not me you idiot. I'm talking about my cousin, Maia"

"I don't know"

I crossed my arms "You want a date or not Blake?"

"Okay. I'll go with her"

"Good" I went behind him "Now go ask her" I pushed him

He stopped and turned around "Now?"

"No, in a million years" he rolled my eyes "Of course now"

"Okay okay" he held his hands up in defeat. He walked away

I smiled as I watched him ask Maia. She was fazed at first then started to smile. She nodded and hugged him, didn't see that coming. I meant the hug.

"Playing Cupid again I see" I turned around to see Connor smirking with his arms crossed

"Hey she wanted a date" he was about to open his mouth but the bell rang for first. I waved goodbye and walked to Chem

"Ms. Martin. Good job on your exam. You got an A" I smiled as he handed me my paper. I walked to my seat smiling

"So nerd got an A" Jason said looking over at my paper

I rolled my eyes and pushed him "Shut up Jason" he started to laugh "I passed that's a good thing you know" he rolled his eyes

"Birthday's next week. Excited?"

"Yeah. Kind of" I felt guilty inside. It's my last Birthday I'm spending with my friends

"What's wrong?"

I shook my head "Nothing"

"Mack. I know you're lying, even though you didn't tuck away your bangs. Tell me"

I sighed "I'm not coming back"

"For..."

"Ever" his eyes widen "I got a letter last week saying I could stay for the next four years"

"Have you told them?" I shook my head "Why not?"

"I can't. It will crush them. I'm leaving already and now it's going to be forever. I don't think they can handle it"

"They can't or you can't"

"Please don't be shrink"

"I know they hate to see you leave but I think it's you that's holding yourself back" I gave a confused look "Look you're leaving your friends you've known your whole life and maybe you're afraid of letting go" Mr. Tyconaroga started to show a video and Jason drifted off a few minutes later.
