Brute and Buttercup walked in the school together, and everyone locked their eyes on Buttercup. They started laughing, but the most unexpected thing made them stop.
"Shut up!" Buttercup said. Everyone froze, even Blossom, Bubbles, Robin, Berserk, Brat, Brick, Boomer, and even Butch. "Y'all think everything is funny. Grow up," She said, stomping off with Brute, Berserk, Brat, Blossom, and Bubbles following her. Everyone's eyes followed her.
As she walked off, she bumped into Butch. "Hey! Watch where your go-" he was cut off by Buttetcup getting in his face and saying, "Shut up or I'll make up you shut up!" He was in shock. She never talked back to him like that. She turned around and walked away from him. She didn't giggle, squeal, or blush. She just... walked.
The girls followed her, but Brute turned around and stuck her tongue out at him. Butch looked furious. He was going to get back at her for what she did.

The next day, Buttercup was her normal self again. She wasn't going all out on her clothing. Poeple were talking to her again. She didn't blush everytime she brushed by pretty boy Butch and his crew. In fact, she completely ignored him. Sometimes he would try to get her attention, but she would tell him to leave her alone or don't talk to me. But there was one thing that she didn't tell anyone, not even Brute.
"YOU'RE LEAVING!" Bubbles shouted in the parking lot. "Shh," Buttercup spit. "How come you didn't tell me?" Brute asked with hurt in her voice. Buttercup looked at her and said, "Because I didn't want anyone to know,"
Berserk put her hand on her shoulder. "I understand. By the way, why are you leaving?" she asked. "Beacuse I don't want to get hurt anymore," she said while sitting on the bench that was behind them. Brat went to go sit next to her. "But, Buttercup," Brute stated. "You don't love him anymore. Why would you be hurt? Is someone else bothering you?"
Buttercup didn't answer. She kept looking down at her shoes. "Hello? Answer me!" Brute shouted. Buttercup looked up at her in shock. She never yelled at her before. "Buttetcup, I'm so-" she was cut of by the look on Buttercup's face. "I-I got to go," she said, studdering and started to run home. "Buttercup wait!" Brute called and tried to run after her, but Blossom stopped her. "Let her go," She said in a calm voice. Brute looked back at Buttercup and frowned.
She then noticed that Butch was watching Buttercup leave. He then noticed that Brute was watching him and he stuck his tounge out from yesterday. "Why you little-" she started and rolled up her sleeve. Robin was watching from a distance and ran up to Brute, attacking her. Brute got up and looked to where Butch was standing, but her wasn't there. She frowned again and sighed, "Buttetcup..."
With BC
I can't believe Brute yelled at me. She thought. She wasn't running anymore. She was slowly walking to her house until someone called her name. She turned around and saw the last person she wanted to see, Butch. She ignored him and kept walking, but she was walking faster this time.
Her house was right in front of her, until Butch tackled her. "What the- GET OFF ME!" She yelled. "Alright. Alright. You don't have to be so loud," He said and let go of her. She got up and walked to her front door. "Hey, where are you going?" Butch asked with a smirk. Buttercup ignored him and rang the doorbell. "Jordan..." Butch said again. Buttercup immediately turned and looked at him. "Did you just-" she was in shock. That was the first time he ever called her by her real name.
She started ringing the doorbell faster. This is scary. "Jordan, I-" the door finally opened and Buttercup dashed in. Her mom stood in the doorway, suprised. She didn't notice that Butch was standing at the corner of the house. She closed the door, but Butch didn't leave. He was going to get back at her for what she did.
Buttercup went up to her room to continue her packing, but she wanted to see if Butch was still there. She looked out the window and saw Butch go inside his bookbag and take out a piece of paper. He started writing on in then when he was done, he went behind the house.
What is he doing!? Buttercup thought.
When he came back, he had a huge rock in his hands. Then he took out the note and looked up at Buttetcup's window. His forest green gaze met her emerald green gaze, but he didnt know it. After the staring contest, he placed the note under the rock and left.
Buttetcup was tempted to go see what he wrote, but she had packing to do. She said decided that she was going to see it tomorrow, after everyone trips over it.
The next day was Buttercup's last day at Midway Path Elementary School. And it was a Friday too. But she still wasn't going to tell anyone about this. Not even her teachers which Brute said was stupid.
In class Buttercup sat next to Robin, Brute, and Bubbles. Blossom, Berserk, and Brat were at the table next to them. "Robin, why did you tackle me yesterday?" Brute asked still kind of pissed.
"So you wouldn't hurt Butch. I saw the look on your face," she answered while still coloring in her coloring book. Brute frowned. "And what do you care if he get hurt or not?" Robin looked up from her book. "I'm a hall monitor. It's what I do," Brute looked like she was going ti chock her but noticed that Buttercup had her head down. She forgot that ahe was leaving.
"Hey Buttercup?" she said which startled her. "Are you sure about this? I mean Townsville is really far away," Robin's expression changed. "Yeah. It's going to be hard without you,"
Berserk's head peeked over to their table. "What you guys talkin' bout?" she asked in a cheerful manner. "Buttercup leaving," Robin answered. Berserk frowned. "Can we please talk about something else,"
Right when she said that, the bell rang and the girls left, little did they know that someone was listening to there whole conversation.
It was dismissal and Bubbles mom came first. She ran to give Buttetcup a big hug. "Be safe on your trip, okay? Promise me," she said. Buttercup hugged her back and said, "I promise," Bubbles let go and walked to her car. "Bye guys! See you on Monday!" she said, then turned to Buttercup. "Bye Buttercup," Buttercup smiled and waved good-bye as Bubbles's car pulled off.
Next was Blossom, and she started crying. "Hey, don't cry," Buttercup comfort. "Everything is going to be alright," Then Buttercup's eyes locked on Brute. "Oh my gosh I'm starting to sound like you," Brute chuckled. Blossom jumped on Buttercup, causing her to jerk backwards. "I'm gonna miss you," she said when she stopped crying. I'm gonna miss you, too," Buttercup said back and let go. Blossom walked to her car and waved as she pulled off.
Berserk and Brat walk home together, but they don't usually do it until Blossom and Bubbles leave, since they only live around the corner. Berserk gave Buttercup a fist bump. "Go hard, okay?" she said. Buttercup smirked. "You know it," Then they started hugging, and Brat joined the hug. They let go and they started walking. Brat looked back and waved. Buttercup waved back and they left.
Brute and Buttercup where the only ones left now, and Buttercup started first. "You are the hardest part if me moving," she said. "I don't know what I'll do without you, but I know that I can manage, because you were the one to talk me out of my sissy side. Thank you for everything you've done for me. And to show it, I got something for you," Buttercup went in her bookbag and pulled out a book. She handed it to Brute and she opened it. Her eyes started watering. It was a book full of memories and pictures of the group, but it wasn't finished. "Use the rest of the book to make new memories," Brute went to go give her best friend a big hug, tears in her eyes. Buttercup started tearing up too.
They let go and it was Brute's turn now. "Jordan, you are my best friend and nothing will ever change that, not even distance," She started. "And-" she couldn't finish because her eyes were watery. "And I do want you to be happy, and if this makes you happy, then go for it, but- " they both started tearing up. "But, please, be safe. I don't want you getting hurt more than you already have," They started hugging again. "So yesterday, we all piched in and got you something," Brute reached in her bookbag and took out a notebook that had a basketballs on it. She handed it to Buttercup and opened it. The first page had a picture of all eight of them, including Robin, at a concert that came to the school last year. She turned the page and it had notes from all of her friends.
They started hugging again and crying on each others' shoulder. They finally let go and took their presents. Brute's mom was finally here and Brute got in the car. Her mom started to pull off, and Brute rolled down the window and shouted, "Bye Buttercup!" and waved. Buttercup waved back and held the present in her hans tightly as her best friend slowly move away fron her sight. Buttercup was alone now, and she started walking home.
When she got there, the house was empty and the car was packed. Her mom was waiting for her and when she saw Buttercup, she asked, "You got everything?" Buttercup was about to say yes, but forgot about the note that Butch left yesterday. She put her stuff in the car and went to the rock he left the note under. She lifted it up and reveled a white piece of paper that was folded up. "Buttetcup?" her mom called. She quickly shoved the note in her pocket and git in the car. "Now do you have everything?"
Buttercup looked at the book Brute gave her and smiled. "Yeah, I got everything," Her mom nodded and pulled off, leaving a house that said 'For Sale' in the yard. She went in her pocket and took out the the not that Butch left. She opened it and was expecting something mean and nasty, but got something completely different.
"Im sorry," it said. She stared at the note for about two minutes then put it back in her pocket. Then she opened the book again and took out the picture inside. She turned it over and it had a note on the back. "We're coming for you," It said. Buttercup smiled and looked back at her city. I'll be waiting. She thought and imagined her friends waving at the edge of the city.
I'll be waiting.
