"So we left the station got a Taxi and went home, the surprising thing was that his secretary actually called! Yep, she called and she said I can't leave on Monday cause my files have to be transfered to the new school and the VP couldn't do it yesterday so she would be getting a hold of the files Monday and I can leave as soon as day break Tuesday" I said
"Wow, well what a day" Massie shrugged
"I know right, I mean I'm glad I'm not going to juve or anything but a new school... Well that's just absurd"
Yes, today is Saturday and I'm in my room with Massie, she managed to not get caught up in my mess but that doesn't change the fact that I'm leaving for another school this Tuesday!
"What if I go? It would be great right, starting over in a new school where nobody knows me, getting away from Camille, getting away from mum" I sighed, maybe that was the best idea, I hadn't thought about it because I just went straight to bed when we came back from the station yesterday, speaking of yesterday it was a crazy day and I think my future just got decided by the Antonios.
"You can't leave, you can't leave me, you wouldn't dare... Leave me" Massie is shaking and trembling seriously and that makes me reconsider my choice.
"No, no I won't, I wouldn't dare. You were there for me when I needed you so I won't leave you now" I said it with confidence and I truly meant it but I just didn't know how I could keep to this promise.
"Good so what's the plan?" Now she's smiling and looking at me eagerly like as if I were a machine that could produce all her answers.
"Well... I don't have one for now"I sighed in defeat. Even if I wasn't going to go to this new school I still didn't have a plan to make sure it happens.
"Although you could just run away" that was very thoughtful coming from Massie but I tried that last time and see where it got me
"Have you forgotten, oh wait... Might I remind you, a few hours ago I did that and look at the result "I said in frustration.
"Well chill, sheeesh... don't take it out on me" she is right though
"I'm sorry but until I come up with a plan, my life is doomed " I rolled over on my bed and picked up a snicker bar, I really needed some chocolate in my system right now.
"Why don't we go out today ya know, have a girls day out, chill, get a manicure, get a new hairstyle you know" massie popped out from no where
"If mum put you up for this tell her no thanks, I'm not getting all glammed up for this new school" I said air quoting
"No she didn't, although I would be doing her a favor but this one's on me, we need to relax and have fun, we're teens for crying out loud and you need a break from all this" she said swaying her arm around my room.
"Okay fine! I agree, Let's go out."
"That's my girl.. "
I smiled, she really does get me and she knows when to cheer me up during times like this.
We go out to the nearby malls and shop for new clothes and makeup, just like regular teenage girls. We try them out, Massie goes into the dressing room first and the gowns fit her perfectly. What can I say... My best friend was endowned with the best curves in the world.
Next we move on to the manicure and pedicure section where we get our nails and feet done, we finally head out to get some ice cream. All this shopping is making my head light and I don't think I'm gonna feel good tomorrow. Lastly we move out to to the salon to get our hair freshened up.
Massie gets new bangs and I decide to loosen up the curls and go for a straight chop. I was getting tired of the long hair though.
Finally we are done for the day, we load up and head back home.
"Looking good katie" Massie complemented.
"Right back at ya Mass"
"I mean you decided to cut off your hair and embrace the woman inside you" she laughs in excitement
"Oh shut up, you know I've been wanting to lose the long and curly hair massie so bye bye baby katie and say hello to the new and improved BADASS Katie" I yelled
"Yeaaaahhh...Badass Katie rocks " we yell
"Wow and those bangs fit you so well, it feels like you we're born to rock bangs" I say
"Well... What can I say, I'm gifted"she smirked
She is gifted no doubt, blessed with a beautiful body and her brown hair shines in the sunset, her dark brown eyes reflecting the road, my best friend should be a model, its in her blood.
I've tried talking to her about it but she just wants to be normal.
I tune the radio and run away with me by Carly jepsen came blasting through the speakers. I feel so relieved to just be on the road and be free being side by side with my bestfriend Massie, I sure am going to miss this feeling, if only...
"Kiaaaaahh, she's here" I screamed while the car came to a hault.
"What the hell katie!! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Massie screamed "By the way who's here?" I couldn't help but laugh, after all the yelling, still didn't get it.
"Silly you, my idea just arrived. I've found a way to not go to grey high and it involves you" I raised my brows
"First of all quit saying "grey high" it just sounds dumb and how can I help, I'm all ears"she said
Here comes my scolding "Heyy don't insult my ex school even if I'm not going there, also grey high makes sense a little it sounds mature but so unfortunate they won't be seeing this red head. Now back to the plan, I'm running away but this time I'll be hiding in your garage, I'm gonna behave like I'm onboard with the whole school stuff but Monday night I make a break for it, I sneak out to your place. Tuesday morning they can't find me and they would just have to leave me behind, the woman did say no disapointments and that I have to make it that Tuesday alone because my schedule has already been arranged and stuff, So if I don't show Tuesday morning, Mr. Antonio is going to know that I'm not serious with this plan, then Wednesday I apologise and I might go to juve but he won't do that, he's not that kind of person so its a win-win. "
"Hmmmm I'm on board with it but you know my mum won't allow it, and how sure are you that you won't go to juve? " I frown at that question
"Well... You'll just have to sneak me in and I know he won't send me to juve, I just know" call it a stupid feeling and i know its utter foolishness but I just know he won't, even if Camille begs.
"Ok well if you say so and about the sneaking I can get grandpa onboard with the plan so you can stay there but it has to be in my room cause mum checks every corner of the garage before she goes to sleep"
"That's fine by me, I get to sleep on a soft bed for once" I say sarcastically
"Whatever, buckle up we'll soon be home"
I put on my seat belt and she starts the car, we start moving again and uptown funk by mark Ronson is playing, we sing along to some lyrics and just let the music take us.
Caus up town funk gon' give it to ya
Caus up town funk gon' give it to ya
Caus up town funk gon' give it to ya
Saturday night and we in the spot
Don't believe me just watch (come on)

its Monday morning, Sunday just went by in a flash. Many people looked at me but very few commented on my new hairstyle, Camille looked at me though like as if she couldn't wait for tomorrow so I can finally get out of her life, Well.... I'm so sorry but I can't grant that wish sister, caus I'm staying and she can't change that.
School is finally over and I head home, its noon and I decide to take a nap. I wake up and its already evening, well time to commense the operation.
I pack my bags trying to be as silent as I can so mum won't notice. Then I hear a nock on the door, I quickly hide all the evidence and yell
"Come inn"
"The secretary called, she said everything is ready, you on the other hand need to be ready"my mum said coming through the door.
"Ah yes mum, I'm ready but I know you're happy to ship me off to Norway" I said
"You have no idea what's going on in my heart right now, your sister also went to a school abroad and she was ok so I guess letting you go is the right choice"
"Letting me go or you just want me to get sick of my life and commit suicide" I said obviously
"Don't you dare Katherine! Don't say that about your sister, as far as I'm concerned she was the best daughter I ever had!!" She screamed
"And me?? What about me!!" with tears streaming from my eyes I said
"You never listen, you tried to be her opposite but instead you turned out much worse! Why can't you be better, you are my only surviving child, I don't want to loose you" she's on my bed looking at my computer.
"You know I wanted to run away, I didn't want to go to grey high, whatever its called, I wanted to stay with you, I caused all this trouble so that you could notice me maybe scold me or something I don't know, I wanted you to finally acknowledge my presence and let go of the past, let go of Cynthia and care for me again just like before but I was mistaken. I was never good enough for you, and guess what? I never will be!" I have made my decision, I'm leaving and there's no going back.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, tell the secretary I'm fully onboard with the plan and lastly help me call Massie, tell her I'm sorry" I'm done trying to impress her, I'm going away... maybe for good.
"Fine, remember no technologies and you don't get to bring much clothes, everything has been arranged. Good night " I heard the door click so I knew she was gone. No tech yeah definitely the worst school in the world but I think I can manage, I just need rest now.
I wipe my tears and go to bed, today was a hectic day and I can't wait to get out of this freaking house.
***
The next day an SUV came by 08:00am on the dot, just like they had promised. I packed some little things and I left without saying good bye to Massie, I couldn't bare to look at her face, I know she'd already figured out that I changed my mind but I didn't have the guts to tell her.
We left Texas and headed for the airport, I slept all the way cause I woke up with a dang headache, few hours later we arrived in Norway. Another SUV was waiting our arrival and then we continued our journey, I just stared out the window and looked at the summer leaves falling, Norway is a really beautiful place... We pass through a street in someplace called olso and then I closed my eyes and just let my thoughts overwhelm me...
