Chapter 11
Before leaving school, Penny was finding where Chris was so that she could try to fix everything with him, if he would listen. As she walked by a bunch of students, she saw him and Gordie about to walk by her. She gave them a short stare and dodged Chris' shoulder on purpose and continued walking ruthlessly. Chris and Gordie stopped walking and Gordie gave a what-was-that-for stare. Chris looked at him frustratingly and came back after Penny. As she noticed him follow her, she knew the plan worked. Was dodging other people walking by really that bad?
"What the hell was that for?" he said, angrily.
"That was the same thing I said to him." She said to herself, but almost too audible for everyone to hear. "Anyway, you should know why."
"Well, I don't know." Chris said, and folded his arms.
"Chris, don't you have a countdown for graduation? We only have two freaking days! And, I can't graduate being mad at someone. Or that someone is mad at me."
"Why? Are you mad at that 'someone' because that 'someone' kissed you yesterday?" Chris said, sarcastically referring to himself.
"Actually, I'm not mad, I'm annoyed. I mean like, what the hell?"
"I can't believe you. Things have changed now." Chris said, disbelievingly.
"Well, you have to. And more things are gonna change in the future." Penny said, almost sounding like begging. "Please?"
"I don't know, Pen." Chris said.
"I already said 'please'. We can't just stay like this forever. We have to move on."
"Well, yeah. We have to. Now, we're friends? Just friends?" He asked.
"Yes, we are. Just promise me one thing." Penny requested.
"Anything." Chris said, willingly and took a step closer to her.
"Promise me that we'll still be friends whatever happens. And I mean, whatever happens." Penny said.
"Well, okay, I'm promise." He said.
"Good." She said, and pulled him into a hug. Penny broke it off and looked at him curiously and they both began walking together. "That was weird."
"Huh?"
"Nothing. Now, I have to go home. Good bye." Penny said, and went to another direction. Chris looked a bit surprised and gave a small wave.
"Wait, let me take you." He said, and held on to her elbow.
"No, thanks. I already have someone to go with." She lied, and started to walk when he dropped her arm and looked at him and smiled.

"I think things are gonna get pretty good on our graduation." Penny predicted while hanging with Johnny in the Blue Point diner.
"Well, good for you. One question, what came into your mind to hang out here?"
"I just thought that 'cause you haven't hung out here for a long time. And, it's our last chance to hang out here since we're leaving."
"I kind of miss hanging out here." He breathed, and sipped from his strawberry milkshake. "Hey, I heard Stan's moving out."
"What? Oh, that's not true."
"How so?" he challenged.
"Well, I asked him about it and he said he was just trying to see my reaction." She said sadly.
"Oh, so you felt sad when you heard about it, huh?" he teased.
"No, J! He was the one who pulled me into talking. And now we're friends again." She reported happily. "And I mean, just friends. Even with Christopher."
"Now, that's a different story, because usually this is the part where you choose which guy you wanna be with."
"That kind of story sucks. That happened once, but I don't want it to happen again." She said, and tapped the table.
"Well, cool. And, oh, look, it's your friend." Johnny said jokingly, and pointed at the door. Penny turned back to see who is it and her eyes widened.
"Johnny, we need to go!" she whispered, and grabbed his hand and hid in a corner 'til Stan and his friends found a table. A waiter approached them, making it a perfect distraction. Penny grabbed Johnny's wrist and they both pushed the doors out of the restaurant.
"Trying to hide from your friend?" Johnny asked, as they walked on the streets with some people about to cross.
"I'm in a hurry!" she protested, and looked back again and grabbed Johnny's wrist and dashed home.
