Chapter 1: I'll Miss You Babe!


Maya's POV:

Tori and I met during freshman year because we were both mutual friends with Zig and Tristan. Since then, Tori and I were inseparable, and something about her made our friendship special. When I found out that Tori came out as a lesbian, it got me thinking about my sexuality, and my feelings for Tori that I never knew I had. Then finally I came out, and when Tori found out, I confessed to her that I really like her. Surprisingly, she smiled and pulled me into a kiss, that was sign of a new relationship, and I was really happy.

We've spent our whole summer together; making-out, going on dates, going to parties, it was really memorable! Also, we were planning our Sophomore year, that together we'll get through everything and anything. Unfortunately, two days after the first day of school, I discovered that Tori's family are moving to New York. I was heart-broken, I want to tell her to stay, but that won't do.

It's lunch and Tori and I were discussing about her move, "Aw, do you really have to go?" I whined as Tori gave me a sad puppy dog face and nodded.

"Sorry Babe, I have to, Dad got promoted at his job, and that requires my family to move to New York." She explained, I never noticed that I was crying until she wiped the tears off my cheek.

"I just wish you can stay." I said

"Me too, but we'll get through this." She said as she kissed my forehead.

Then Zig and Tristan came with their lunches and sat across from us, "Hey Tor, we heard about the move, we'll really going to miss you." Zig said in a solemn tone.

"I can't believe it! Just the start of Sophomore year and suddenly you're moving!?" Tristan whined, he sound shock, yet in denial that his best friend is moving.

"Hey guys please don't start, I'm still here, we only have a week together before the move, and I'll miss all of you..." She turned her head at me, "Especially you Babe, I'll definitely miss you the most."

"I'll miss you too, Babe." I smiled as I pulled her into a kiss and not just a kiss, a French-Steamy kiss.

"Ew! Get a room you two!" a familiar voice said, as Tori and I let go, we rolled our eyes to see Zoe looking at us with a disgusting look on her face. Behind her were Miles and Chewy, both giving her the stink face.

"Unnecessary Zoe." Miles commented as Zig and Tristan scooted over to make room for him and Chewy to sit down.

"Hey, I'm just saying, people are here to eat, not see a freak show of two bitches sucking faces." Zoe said holding her lunch and looking down at us, "Scoot over you two!" She shoved down next to me, pushing me further that Tori slipped out at the other end of the seat.

"Oops! My bad!" Zoe said in a sarcastic way as she eats her salad.

"Not cool Zoe!" I said as she rolled her eyes at me. I gave Tori a hand, "You okay Babe?" I asked as Tori sat down as I was between her and Zoe.

"Yeah I'm fine." Tori smiled at me, then glared at Zoe. "If you really hate us so much, then why are you hang with us?" Tori argued with Zoe.

"Simple, keep your friends close and your enemies closer!" Zoe drank her Ice Tea while giving Tori and me a devious smile.

Zoe is just this girl who is always bitching me and Tori around. It all started during summer, me, Tori, Tristan, and Zig went to a Concert. That's when we met Miles, Chewy, and Zoe. They were all friends, and surprisingly going to attend Degrassi. Miles hooked us up with VIP Passes, and he and Chewy seemed friendly and that's when our friendship group started. As for Zoe, she was mostly friendly to Tristan and Zig. And yeah, all seven of us hang together as friends, but me and Tori don't consider Zoe as a friend, more like a mean stalker, who wants to destroy us.

I don't know why she's so mean to me and Tori, but ever since she laid her eyes on us, it's like she knows that we were trouble to her. Yet, I also noticed that she's more harsher to Tori than to me. I guess she's noticed that Tori is way better looking than her. I mean, who wouldn't think that Tori is the hottest girl in school!? Tori's a Babe! But she's MY Babe.

"I heard you're moving to New York." Chewy said as Tori nodded, "We'll really going to miss you."

"I know, and I'm going to miss all five of you!" Tori smiled as Zoe glared at her, noticing she excluded her.

"So when are you moving?" Miles asked

"Next week." Tori answered

"Well you better be careful..." Zoe started, "I heard there's a lot of crimes in New York, so if I were you I'd watch my back, unless you want to get kidnapped!"

"Will you stop scaring Tori!" I snapped at her.

Zoe turns her head towards me, "Oh and look who's talking. If I were you, Maya, I would break it off with little Miss Santamaria here because sweetie, long-distance relationship don't work...someone will get hurt." and with that, she got up with her empty tray and left.


Zoe's POV:

Ugh, I'm glad that Santamaria slut, is moving next week, that means one less bitch for me to bitch out on. I'm sure with Tori out of the picture, Maya will be my main target. Let's just say Maya won't know what hit her, it's going to be an interesting year for me and I'm looking forward to it!

"Hey what was that earlier?" Miles asked as he and Chewy came up to my locker.

"What was what?" I snorted

"About lunch earlier? Remember?" Chewy recalled, "Why are you being so mean to Maya and Tori?"

"Oh and it's so me, being their BFFs and have sleepovers with them every night?" I said sarcastically, "Oh Chewy, it's like you don't know me."

"Chewy's right, why are you being so mean to them?" Miles asked, "And it's not just during lunch, I meant all the time. What did they ever do to you?"

I'm getting frustrated with them, they don't have to know my grudge between Maya and Tori! I opened my locker and quickly get my stuff and slam my locker shut, "It's none of your business okay! You can't control who I hate and who I like, so both of you back off!" I rebelled as I quickly run between them and get to class.


Maya's POV:

I'm in the roof garden, crying, thinking about my life without Tori. It hurts to say good-bye to someone you love because you always want them with you forever until eternity. "Hey, I knew you're here." I look up to see Tori approaching and sitting next to me. "You're still thinking about my move?" She asked as I nodded.

"Tori, what if Zoe's right?" I asked, "What if we grow apart and you get to see other people? What about me? You? Us? Should we break up?"

Tori sighed and caressed my hair, "Babe, that will never happen. We'll prove Zoe wrong! Some long-distance relationships do work." She said

"Yeah, 'some'" I emphasized

"And we'll be that 'some' because our relationship is so powerful, not even Zoe Rivas will break it off." She said and I gave her a chastise kiss.

"I...I love you, Tori." Those three words slipped out of my mouth.

She smiled, "I love you too, Babe." She kissed me back. "Come on, let's make my last week here a memorable one!" She added and our hands linked together and she pulled me up. We started walking,hand in hand, down the Degrassi hallways.


Third Person POV:

(A week later...)

Miles' driver drove him, Chewy and Zoe to the airport, to meet the rest of the gang, and say their last good-byes to Tori. "And why do I have to come?" Zoe asked

"Because Tori is our friend and we should be there to say good-bye." Miles reminded

Chewy added, "And Maya needs a lot of shoulders to cry on." He finished

"One, Tori's not my friend!" Zoe started, "And two, I could care less of Maya being so Emo with all this crap!"

"Uhh...harsh much?" Chewy said, narrowing his eyes at her.

Zoe sighed, "You two are lucky that you're my friends, if you guys weren't, I wouldn't give in and come." She said

As they reach to the airport, they meet Tristan, "Oh good, you guys are here!" Tristan said in relief, "Mr. and Mrs. Santamaria needs muscles to help them get all their luggage to the waiting area, and Zig's already there helping them."

Chewy put his hand on Miles' shoulder, "Come on Miles, Mr. and Mrs. Santamaria needs our muscles!" Chewy then flexed his muscles as Miles snorted and they go help Zig and Mr. and Mrs. Santamaria.

Zoe turn to Tristan, "So Tris, where are the love birds?" Zoe asked referring to Maya and Tori.

"They're making-out in the corner." Tristan pointed out as Zoe turned to see Maya and Tori French kissing in the corner.

Zoe looked disgusted, "Gross! They're like exchanging each other's rabies!" She commented as Tristan rolled his eyes.

"I'm begging you Zoe, don't ruin their moment." Tristan warned

"Fine, I won't!" Zoe raised her hands.

(15 minutes later...)

"Tris, when are they going to stop sucking faces? It's been about 15 minutes! Can they even breathe!?" Zoe complained as she and Tristan look at Maya and Tori still kissing.

"Why can't you be like all of us and accept their affection towards each other?" Tristan said

"Affection? More like a Donkey, sucking its own ass!" Zoe commented as Tristan shook his head like he's done talking about this.

Maya and Tori stopped kissing and approached, walking hand in hand, to Zoe and Tristan. "Zoe? I'm surprised that you're here to say good-bye to Tori." Maya said

"I'm not, I just want to make sure that she's really going." Zoe said as she glared at Tori, who also glared back.

Zig, Miles, and Chewy came back, "Hey Tori, your parents are going inside the Terminal, you have to meet them there." Zig said

"Well I guess this is where we say good-bye!" Tori said as the group stood silent.

Tristan was first to hug Tori, he was really emotional that Chewy had to calm him down. Next was Zig, he just gave a long friendly hug. Miles was next, then Chewy. When Tori reach to Zoe, they just stand and looked at each other for moment.

"Come on, let's get this over with." Zoe sighed as she and Tori hugged, it was first awkward, yet it's just an innocent hug.

Tori walked over to Maya, who is still emotional, "Maya, please don't cry, remember that we promise to text each other everyday, and during the weekends we video chat, and on school breaks, I'll come over to visit." She said wiping Maya's tears as Maya nodded.

Maya and Tori embraced for a hug and give each other one last kiss, "Promise me you'll text me when you get there?" Maya said

"I promise." Tori said as they let go and she walked inside the Terminal. Tori turned back one last time and waved good-bye as everyone including Zoe waved back. And in seconds, Tori disappeared from their sight.

Maya, Tristan, and Zig rode with Miles, Chewy, and Zoe as they left the airport, "I miss Tori already." Tristan whined

"Trust me Tris, we all do." Maya said as she took a quick glance at Zoe, "Actually, almost all of us."

"Well I'll miss bitching Tori around." Zoe commented, then looked at Maya, "But don't worry, I still have you Maya! With Tori gone, I'm sure we will have fun together throughout the school year!" Zoe smirked as she wrap her arms around Maya's shoulders.

"Great...!" Maya sarcastically said in a down tone, hiding her terrified look of what will Zoe do to her.
