Bye

"I'll be back in three months," Freddie said to Sam as they stood in the airport, his arms wrapped around her.

"I know," Sam said.

"We'll talk every night."

"But we're going to be so far, though. You're going to Cal Tech., and I'm going to New York for dance school…"

"There's no way any girl in California would ever compare to you," Freddie said.

"Obviously. And I'm pretty sure you're the only guy in the nation who'd put up with me and my antics."

Freddie smiled. He knew this was untrue; many guys would gladly date Sam, but he knew she wouldn't give them the time of day.

"I'm still going to miss you, though," Sam said softly. "Even if you're a total nub who's obsessed with technology and sci-fi movies."

"I'll miss you too," Freddie laughed. "Even though you're a crazy demon with an insane appetite."

The final boarding call for Freddie's plane sounded over the intercom.

"I have to go," he said sadly, leaning in for one final kiss with his girlfriend.

"Bye."

"Bye."
