Moving Evi
"Ian, Evi," William Kay said calmly.
I looked at Kay; his face basically screamed "don't be upset". Ian just looked sleepy. He always looked bored, or something. Exhausted maybe.
"Okay" Kay said, deep breath, " in a nutshell your moving," he smiled. Sometimes he was like a child, breaking something to you like its nothing. Oh ya by the way you're moving, that's nothing big, just like a kid would be like oh ya I broke the TV, mommy'll get another, smile smile. I sat there totally blown away.
I had a momentary flashback, all the parties me and Alison had our new year's countdowns for the last two years, our shopping sprees, our girl days, our chic flick days. The way we'd always buy the biggest container of popcorn, with extra butter, when we went the movies, and watched from the top, tossing popcorn at the heads of the people who talked. Our snow days, with the snow fights and snow angels. Our crushes, we'd talk about and make fun of each other. All of that. Gone.
"What?!" I heard me and Ian say at the same time.
"You're moving."
"Why?"
"Well…. You and Ian are two students who I have to pay tuition for. Right now I can't really afford it, paying off some debts from the founding," Kay explained, cheesy calm face and all. "Sorry?"
"Oh," I said shocked, I couldn't make him pay my tuition so I could stay because I'd miss Alison and all my other friends, not when he had something personal to pay off. I couldn't do anything about it.
"Where are we moving to?" Ian said, making me come out of my bubble of defeat.
"Sunnydale High in Victoria City."
"And me?" I said softly, my voice about to crack, just thinking of leaving this place.
"Same place."
Ian and I looked at each other shocked.
"What do you mean? Same city?" I whisper, this whole moment taking on a dreamy this-can't-be-reality feeling.
"Yea," Kay said, it felt like the room itself sighed, and the tension in the room lightens a little.
"Here is your home address," Kay said handing Ian a paper.
"Wait," Ian said, looking up.
"Ummm-hummm?" " Kay says seemingly content, as he sits in the couch.
"Why is there only one address?"
