"YOUR WHAT?!"

I heard a large chorus of voices scream at me. All of my friends were sitting around me in the food court of the mall. I was picking at the Shrimp Pad Thai James and I were sharing, loosing all interest in my favorite dish. I could feel the tears begin to brim up again but I swallowed hard, determined to keep an uplifting outlook on the idea.

"I'm moving to London for my junior year of High School because my parents want to challenge me intellectually my junior year, they think I'm not pushing myself." I looked around at all ten faces around me. Some in horror, some in disgust.

"James, is this true? There isn't anything we can do?" Sami turned to James next to me, her light brown eyes narrowing to slits in anger.

"Unfortunately…" James bowed his head

"Unfortunately my parents have already enrolled me. I move next week. I found out last week ago, but I didn't know how to tell you guys, and I was still upset with the idea." I was hoping no one would hit me out of anger, especially Sami.

"You do realize that that means there will have to be a kidnapping." Steven said digging into his pizza

"Our Carly is leaving us! The artistic, know-it-all, comic geek is leaving us! How can we just sit back and let this happen?!" Teddy was standing by the end of his exclamation and people in the food court were looking at his hysterics.

"I've come to terms with Teddy, so should you. I can't stop it. I'm actually kind of looking forward to boarding school. Kent has some of the best art programs and after graduating I can pretty much go to any college I want. Its really a great opportunity." I began to eat my Shrimp Pad Thai again.

"But…you can't leave me Carls." Sami slumped in her seat

"Its not like I won't ever see you guys again! Kent is less than an hour away from the airport. I'll have a computer. I won't be totally disconnected." I continued chewing my Shrimp Pad Thai thoughtfully making plans for the future, and because Jessica was looking at me with concern.

"Whatever decision you make, we'll stand by it." Shar said, her neon pink hair spiked in a mohawk bobbing as she nodded her head.

"Thank you Shar. As always you can talk sense into Sami. Keep an eye on her while I'm gone ok?" I grabbed James' hand and gave it a light squeeze. My friends weren't in too much of an uproar, this was going better than expected.

"Can I say one thing?" I gave a nod and Mal continued, "What about us visiting you? I've always wanted to see London. This would be the perfect opportunity."

"I've thought about that actually. Why not? Maybe during fall break?"

"Matt and I could probably persuade our mom to let us go. The educational experience and all." Jessica's piercing blue eyes examined me closely, nothing ever gets past her, she noticed me not eating.

"I'll come with." Paul finally had something to say, of course it was to back Jessica up. That boy is totally whipped. After two years of dating they have only had one fight. They are defiantly a match made in heaven, perfect synchronization in everything.

"So we don't have any more yelling?" I tentatively asked

"Cha we do! At your bloody parents!" Sami stood up and grabbed her boyfriend, Teddy "You are taking me to Carly's house, NOW!"

"Umm…I don't think we should do that" Teddy started backing away. Sami's anger was something incredible when it was built up.

"Lets not play that game Sami." I stood up and stared at her, "I think it's a great thing. Yes I will miss you all, but this opportunity is great. I'll learn new stuff and make new friends. Nothing could ever replace you guys though. Lets give it a try. Its just two years."

"But it's two years before you were supposed to leave us! I want to go talk to your parents now! At least yell at them a bit." Sami continued to glare at me

Great, Sami was in the famed 'Mood'. Whenever she gets this way it takes a couple weeks to get her out. First she rants and raves for a couple of hours, then she gives everyone the silent treatment for a couple of weeks. The problem this time is that I won't be around for a couple of weeks, I'm leaving next week. I don't have time for her silent treatments.

"Sami, I'm leaving. I know you're gonna hate me for this but I have to move to London. I'll be back a lot, I promise." I looked at her pleadingly hoping that my eyes would give the full message. 'Sami you're my best friend, I love you, I won't ever forget you.'

"I still don't want you to go." Sami took a few deep breath and continued, "But its inevitable, I'll help you pack I guess."

"I'm glad that's all worked out. Now Carly it's time to leave this joint for some real fun!" James grabbed my hand, I grabbed Sami, Sami grabbed Teddy, Teddy grabbed Val, Val grabbed Shar, Shar grabbed Steven, Steven grabbed Mal, Mal grabbed Matt, Matt grabbed Jessica, Jessica grabbed Paul and we all ran out of the food court like a bunch of London hooligans screaming at the top of our lungs.

I was glad that everything was settled. I was also certain that the next week was going to be the best ever, I knew it was going to end and I was happy for what was to come, I would just make the best of it. To the future!
