Let me go

Part 1

Emma was a freshman while Alex had only one year left to graduate. Both were in the same university. Cece, Lola and Emma were in the same group and had become best friends since the first day. Lola (although she had a boyfriend) liked Alex, whenever she saw him go by, her comments were usually (accompanied by a sigh, of course) "Ahh, there he goes" or "Look, look, there's Alex" and Cece mocked of her and even made her boyfriend Oliver, who was Alex's classmate, call him to come to where they were and so, scare Lola a little bit, deceiving her that they were going to present them. Emma didn't pay much attention to that but, once in a while she also mocked of Lola.

— Hello, good morning, have you studied for the exam? — Cece said immediately after arriving.

— I didn't remember — answered Lola searching quickly among her books.
— I just gave it a review but I don't remember nothing — spoke Emma.
— Read it out loud to study all together — suggested Lola to Cece.
— Well — she said sitting on her usual bench and began to read.

------------------------------------

— Emma! — Cece shouted, while she ran to reach her.

— I thought you had already gone home — she said when Cece reached her.

— No, I was just saying goodbye to Oliver.
— Are you okay? — Emma asked as they started walking.
— Look, he's been weird, I'm almost sure we're going to end it.

— The truth is that I don't picture you with him, his laughter is ... so fake.
— Yes, right? — Cece says while laughing.
— It's as if he said: oh yes, how funny but actually in his mind he says: who thinks that's funny? Children who are in elementary school, for sure.

— You're right and I really don't know why I said yes when he asked me — she frowned as she placed her hands on the straps of her pink backpack and walked next to Emma.
— What do you think we will get in the exam? I'll at least get a 6/10
— Yes, it was quite difficult.

On the weekend Emma was trying to relax because it had been a stressful week with all the exams she had had. She was lying on her bed reading a new book she had downloaded on her cell phone and had wanted to read it for a while. She smiled as she read the funny things the characters said until a notification interrupted her.

— Oh, come on, I'm about to finish reading — she ignored the notification even though she was intrigued by wanting to know what it was about and continued reading.

Just when she reached the end of the chapter, her cell phone vibrated again. This time someone had sent her a message through her social network and she couldn't ignore it.

— Hi — it was all that the message contained. Emma noticed the name of the person who had spoken to her and almost fell off the bed while reading the top of the screen.
