A month and a half later

"I can't believe that we'll be leaving for college soon." I said, running a hand through my hair. I looked at Beck, and smiled sadly. Tomorrow he was going to be leaving for basic training, I won't get to see him for like almost three months. I believe it'll be longer since he'll go straight to AIT. André was leaving tomorrow also.

"At least your going to college." André said, crossing his arms over his chest.

Beck smiled. "Dude, we choose this." He said.

I looked at Jade. "What is your opinion of all this?" I asked. She's expected to leave for college in a week and a half. It seemed like just yesterday the summer was just beginning, guess it goes by fast when you're having fun.

"Well I respect they're opinions. Why'd you want to join the army is beyond me. I mean there's a 50-50 chance that you'll get deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. I have a lot of respect for the military their basically fighting for out freedom." Jade said, glancing at André. I'm starting to wonder if there's something going on between those two.

"Why'd you join the army anyways?" Robbie asked.

Beck shrugged. "I want to help our country, plus my older brother joined the army. He's kind of my role model." He said.

"We need to do something. Tomorrow your leaving, so we need to have a farewell party." I said, standing up. We were hanging out at Jade's place.

Robbie frowned. "You should have been planning that like two weeks ago." He said.

"Maybe we were." Cat said.

Beck, André and Robbie all looked at her. "When? We were always with all of you." André said.

I rolled my eyes. "Umm...It's called keeping it a secret and you weren't hanging with us 24/7. Never wondered why there were days when we'd blow you off?" I asked, smiling. Guys somethings.

Beck seemed to be thinking about it. "I remember hanging out with you everyday." He said, getting up and walking towards me. You'd think by now we'd be sick of each other, but I think we're closer than what we were at the beginning of summer. Though the more time I spent with Beck, the more I realized that I did indeed have feelings for him.

Jade chuckled. "Trust me, we have something planned. Maybe it's later today, maybe it's tomorrow. We're not saying." She said, putting her legs on Andre's lap as she got more comfortable on the couch.

"When?" Beck asked, looking at me.

"Not saying, did you not hear what Jade just said?" I asked.

"Nope."

"Liar."

"Am not."

I nodded. "Yes you are." I said, pointing at him.

He grabbed my finger. "Maybe. Maybe not." He said, smirking.

I rolled my eyes again. Though my smile slightly faded when I noticed how close Beck was to me. "I know you heard Jade, your just trying to get it out of me." I said, giving him my signature smile.

Beck ran a hand through his hair. "No luck, huh?" He asked. I shook my head.

"Dude if you're gonna kiss her, then just kiss her already." André said.

I got huge eyes and chuckled nervously. My heart started beating faster. "Dude you should talk." Beck said, walking away from me. I was disappointed, but did my best to hide it.

"I ain't kissing you." Everyone busted out laughing.

"That is not what I meant." Beck said, smiling. He seemed a little nervous, wonder why that is.

Cat giggled. "We should have a party." She said. Everyone looked at her oddly. I walked towards the front door, wondering what is going through her mind at the moment.

"Cat? Jade?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest. It was time to get the party set up, since it was like 3:30 in the afternoon and the party was supposed to start at 8:30 tonight. "Guys remember to be at my house around 8:30, if you're a little late. That would be awesome." I said, walking out of the house. Jade and Cat followed.

"What are we doing?" Cat asked.

Jade looked at her. "Have you not been paying attention?" She asked.

"Noo...Not really." Cat confused.

I sighed. "We're going to my house, to get ready for the you know what." I said, walking towards my car. It was a 2010 Chevy Malibu my parents gave me it for graduation. Trina got really jealous, since all she got was a graduation card and money. The car isn't new, new but I don't care, I think it's awesome.

"You mean the party? I think that wasn't going to happen." Cat said.

I looked at Jade and she just shrugged. "Cat, just get in the car." I said, walking towards the driver's door. I got into my car and started it.

Jade got in on the passenger's side, while Cat got climbed into the back. "So Tori what was that with Beck?" She asked, glancing at my and smirking. I glanced at her and rolled my eyes.

"It was nothing." I said, backing out of the driveway and then put the car in drive. Jade lived like ten minutes from me, she lived closer to town. I think that might be why she's at my place a lot, since I live more out in the country. I don't mind were we hang out, so long as we're having fun. Everyone in town knows everyone, and we're known as the troublemakers.

"Didn't look like nothing. Why don't you tell him how you feel? He's leaving tomorrow." Jade said.

"You know what, I think it's time for you to come clean. I told you one of my biggest secrets, I think it's time for you to come clean." I said, glancing at her. I also looked in the rearview mirror to see what Cat was doing, she seemed to be off in la-la land. "Cat?"

She looked up and smiled. "Hiii." She said.

"What secret?" Jade asked.

"You know what I'm talking about." I said.

"No I don't." Jade said.

"What's going on?" Cat asked.

I busted out laughing. "Aww..Cat. What would I do without you?" I asked. She was one of my best friends, and can be so clueless. But I love her no matter what.

"I dunno." She said, smiling a little.

Jade rolled her eyes and ran a hand through her hair. "Seriously Tori, what are you talking about?" She asked.

I shook my head. "I dunno. Maybe I was imagining it, but I swore that you have feelings for André. I could be wrong. I know for a fact that Cat has feelings for Robbie, but she'd never say anything." I said.

"You weren't imagining anything." Jade said. I slammed on the breaks and stared at her. "What the hell was that about?"

"Maybe she saw a bunny." Cat said.

"I didn't see anything run in front of the car." Jade said.

"Maybe it was invisible to other people." Cat said.

"There was no bunny!" I said, pressing on the gas, so that the car was moving again. I was just extremely shocked that Jade just confused to me, which is something she doesn't like to do.

"Phooey." Cat said, crossing her arms over her chest. I remained quiet for the rest of the ride, it seemed that both Cat and Jade were lost in their own thoughts. I'm sure their both thinking about tomorrow, and pretty soon it'll us leaving the town that we learned to love. I was not looking forward to tomorrow, but it was gonna come.

Hope this chapter was okay...It was kind of rushed. I think I typed this in about an hour.
Basic Training usually lasts about 9-10 weeks.
A.I.T - Advanced individual training
Almost every thing I learned about the army is from my older sister; she joined back in 2006. Some things I did Google though.
