As quickly as Mike came he left to go back to his life in Texas. Mike brought back the past that I was trying to forget.

"I can't believe it is the last day of school," Teddy said as we sat at a table for lunch. It was a around table that only fit six, Vern on my right, then Gordie, Mel, Chris then Teddy on my left. This was the last time we would all sit together.

"Yeah we are going to be juniors," Mel said and laughed. Everyone else laughed along with her. I just sat there pushing my food around, day dreaming.

"What's wrong," Chris asked me.

"I am not going to be juniors with you guys," I aid.

"Did you get held back, I thought you got straight A's, my cousin…"

"Vern shut up," Chris said.

"I am moving again…to Ohio, we have family down there, who we are staying with," I said not looking at them.

"When," Teddy asked.

"Labor Day," I said a tear falling from my eyes, "I don't want to go,"

Then Chris started laughing.

"What is so funny," Vern asked.

"It is weird, when we met Kat she wanted to leave Castle Rock, now she wants to stay," Chris explained

"It is just weird, I don't know why my dad picked Castle Rock to move to," I said, "I never heard of Caste Rock until now, and I want to stay,"

"Then don't leave," Teddy said.

"Where would I go" I asked.

"Stay with us," Chris said. Then the bell ran telling us it was time for next period.

After school I walked into the house finding no one was home. I walked into my dads room looking around, then I walked to the closet. I don't know what I was looking for, but something told me to look in the closet. I just knew my brother couldn't leave and not tell us where he went. I opened the door and a box fell out, spilling all of the papers inside it. I picked one up and read it.

Dear dad,

Carolina and I moved to Castle Rock, Oregon, where I am opening a little food store. Tell Sky and Kat I said hi and hope to see them soon.

-Charles


"O my god, Charles is here," I yelled.

* * *

I ran out of the house, tears falling from my eyes. My dad had lied to us and now it just kicked in that I was moving when school starts. No more, Teddy, Vern, Chris and Gordie. Castle Rock won't compare to Ohio. I ran past Vern's house, but no one was around. I found myself at Teddies house standing at his driveway.

"Well are you just going to stand there or come up to the front porch," I heard Teddy say.

"O sorry didn't realize you where there,' I said. I sat down on the bottom step and Teddy sat next to me.

"What is this," he asked taking the letter. He read it over then looked at me.

"My dad knew he was here Teddy, Charles sent me all these letters. That's why my father moved here, to have closure from him. Cause Charles was mad at my father for letting him miss out on college." I explained.

"Are you going to see him' teddy asked.

"Maybe…" I said, then we sat there for a long period of time not staying a word. We both enjoyed each others company.

"Kat…" Teddy finally said, "why did you come here,"

It never hit me until now that I came to Teddies house because I liked him.

"Cause I like you," I said.

"I thought best friends can't like each other," Teddy asked.

"I was wrong," I whispered.

Teddy and I both stared at each other for a while. Then he leaned in and kissed me. I didn't pull away, but I kissed him back. I had fallen for one of the four boys that changed my life forever.

The first day of summer finally came at last. It has been a year since I known Teddy, Vern, Chris and Gordie. We all sat up in the tree house along with Mel.

"Something isn't right," Chris said. Teddy and I looked at each other then Chris.

"What do you mean," I asked.

"You to, something is up," Gordie added.

"They hooked up," Vern said.

"Is he right," Gordie asked.

"Yes," I said.

"How can he guess it and we don't," Chris laughed.

"Well, I saw Kat walking home yesterday from the direction of Teddy's house," Verb said.

"Verno, you where spying," Teddy said.

"No, I just wanted to know," Vern said. We just sat there looking at each other in silence, no one had anything to say, it was like over the last twelve months everyone had said what they wanted to say.
