Alexis shut the door of her house and as soon as he heard the lock click he flashed back to just a few minutes ago. Her house was full of boxes and the furniture was in plastic coverings.

"What's going on?" Craig had said when he walked in the door.

"My father got a job in Italy a permanent one and I said I would go with him. We lost all our money in the trial against Zack's family so now we have to go he needs this we all need this."

"So what you were just going to leave without saying goodbye?"

"I was going to tell you tomorrow after school."

"So when are you leaving?"

"In two days."

"That soon?"

"I've known about this for months I just couldn't get up the guts to tell you."

They had to break up and Princeton was out the window because her parents wanted her to go to Oxford, which was in Europe and closer to them instead of on the other side of the world. He left with tears down his face. Then for some unknown reason he flashed back to himself and Manny in his hospital room and the moment they had shared.

"Why am I thinking of her now?" He asked himself with a confused look on his face.

Craig placed the pen on the table and walked away after giving Liberty 5 dollars.

He saw a familiar name on the list but decided not to tell her he knew.

"Hey guys were all signed up for the carnival and I paid the fee."

"Cool thanks Craig." Said Marco still standing in the corner looking at his watch.

"Where is he anyway?"

"Chill Jimmy he'll be here soon."

Five minutes later a flushed and out of breath Spinner Mason came running up to them.

"So..orry.. I'm late...."

"Did you get them?"

"Yeah here." Spinner handed Jimmy a brown bag, which held new sheet music for them to learn for the carnival as well as a surprise.

"Excellent the girls will love this."

"Hey Jimmy can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure man." They walked down the hall a few feet.

"What is it?"

"I love Manny still Jimmy and Alexis broke up with me because he dad got a job in Italy and since their going bankrupt he needs it."

"Why didn't you say anything sooner?"

"Because I was scared to tell anyone. Should I tell her?"

"I don't know. Sleep on it I guess."

Manny at her locker glanced at the clock behind her.

"Holy shit! What a day to forget a watch Manny" She said to herself, she was extremely late for the fashion show rehearsal.

"Why can't it be in a week and why on earth did I sign up to sing for the concert booth at the carnival?"

Shutting her locker she ran down the hall and still running looked back at the clock crashing into someone in front of her.

"Ahhh." Down she went hitting the floor before she got a look at the victim of her speedy rush.

"I'm sorry ...oh hey Craig."

He got up and reached down to help Manny up who didn't realize her leg was caught in her book bag.

"Ack!" She slipped and fell taking Craig with her.

Blushing she got up grabbed her stuff and ran out the doors of the school to the car out front.

"Manny wait... What's this?"

A piece of paper had been left behind on the floor containing the address of the rehearsal and the times it started and ended.

"I might go by and surprise her so that I can talk to her about us."
