They have been drivng for about 3 hours now.

Shelby: Dad, we've been driving for forever, how much longer?

Mike: Bout another 4 hours, you wanna tell me why you didn't say good-bye to your group?

Shelby: Let's just say, I found out who my true friends were and its not them.

Mike: I thought you were happy and you and that Scott guy were going out.

Shelby: Things change, I really don't wanna talk about it right now. (Mike knowing he wasn't gonna anything out of her kept quiet the rest of the way home)

*Horizon Cafeteria (the next morning)*

The cliffhangers were at their usal table.

Jules: How come she didn't say good-bye to us? (whinny) I mean I know she can be cold and everything but not even a wave.

Auggie: Maybe she heard us the other night.

Ezra: Yea,Isn't it weird the day after you guys said that stuff she suddenly decides to leave and not talk to anyone not even Daisy.

Daisy: (nods her head in agreement) and it didn't really help that no one stuck up for her. (finally they all catch on)

Jules: Now I feel guilty. (Auggie puts his on her hand)

Auggie: Don't wory about it twig, she had it coming.

Sott who had been quiet the entire time gets up and leaves. Chelsea follows.
