chapter 6

Wow! Everything has actually changed. From the food, the people, the weather, the language, school, friends and everything that has to deal with moving to a new place. Okay, so you might be wondering why the change. This' what happened.

~ Flashback~

Knock! Knock! "Come in", my Physics teacher responds.

"Eerm, please I've been sent by the headmistress to call someone by name Charlie Kent."

Me! Why would 'me' of all people be summoned by the mistress? I look at my bestie Tee Jay who sits right beside me, she just shrugs. I know she's as confused as I am.

"Charlie?" My teacher calls. 

"Yes, please." I respond.

"You're excused to go and see the headmistress."

"Thank you." I walk out of the class. 

~Headmistress' Office~

"Good morning, Mrs Hart."

"Hello dear, how are you doing this beautiful morning?" She smiles brightly. 

"I am very well, thank you. I'm Charlie Kent and I was told that you want to see me."

"Yes, yes. Charlie. I've got some exciting news for you. Your mother will be here today t-" I cut her off with excitement.

"What! Mother? I cut her short. Oh My God I'm so happy but it's not yet visiting and school rules state that students are not allowed to see any relative on any other day apart from visiting day."

I'm a final year boarder in one of the best girl high schools in the country. 

"Yes, you're right. That's very good to know that one of my girls has the school rules in mind. Hahaa!" She chuckles staring into space with a dreamy look.

"Umm, Mrs Hart?" She was creeping me out.

"Oh my, so sorry dear, just a little bubbly this morning, you know, I had a very awesome night", she winks.

"I wish it didn't have to end...", she sees my discomfort and goes back to being a headmistress, "well I have a school to run so...ahem! Back to your situation."

"Charlie, you're leaving the school."

"W-what?", I choke on my words, “Did I do something wrong?"

"Oh no no, you did nothing wrong. Your mother and father came here yesterday, their main reason was to sign some documents and inform me that you're leaving the country."

"Leaving the country? Why?"

"That's for your parents to tell."

"Okay?" I'm so confused.

"Charlie!" Mrs. Hart snaps.

"Yes ma'am?" I answered startled.

"Did you hear anything I said?"

"N-no"

"No?" She rolls her eyes. "I said we're heading to your dormitory to pack your things." I nod and follow her out of the office.

I finish packing my things and now we, Mrs Hart and I, are in her office.

"I just sent for your friend to bring you your school bag."

"Thank you."

"So how do you feel about this?" Mrs Hart asks.

"About what exactly?"

"You know, the change you're going to face."

"Oh well, I'm confused the most, I'm sad and I'm happy. There's a lot in my head right now."

Before she could say anymore, Tee Jay walked in. 

"Good afternoon Mrs Hart. I've brought Charlie's bag." She said pointing to my bag.

"Okay thank you dear."

"You're welcome." Tee Jay responds.

Seeing her didn't only make me happy but also made me realise I was gonna miss her so much. We had a lot of memories together.

She's fair and has a few blackspots on her face, she's also short and wears glasses, she also looks like a Chinese in her own special kinda way and most of all she's beautiful and she's a brilliant girl and not forgetting funny and friendly. 

"Mrs Hart?"

When she gave me her attention, “can I speak to Tee Jay for a minute or so?” I asked. 

"No problem honey."

"Thanks and excuse us." I leave the office with my friend.

"Charlie?" Tee Jay sounded so worried. The only time she was this worried was when her pet dog died.

"Tee Jay?" I gulped.

"What's happening? I can see you things." She points at where my suitcase and other things were.

"You let's sit down and I'll tell you everything I know."

"I'm leaving the school and most of all the country", I said in one breath. Before I knew it we were hugging and she was smiling and had tears streaming down our faces and she was nodding to show she understood me. 

"I'm so happy for you”, she said between sobs. "Make us all proud okay?"

"Okay."

"I'm gonna miss you so much but don't forget to text me whenever you're free. Okay? And if you don't, you already know what's gonna happen to you."

"Yes I think I know." She chuckle.

"Before you ask of how I'm going to tell Avery and the others...."

"Heyyyy! I'm not dumb." She hits me playfully.

"Yeah, sure I'll remember that." Avery is my bestie she's also very pretty and acts like a child but can get so serious at times. She can draw very well too. That's her talent. Zian is also are friend though we don't hear from her that much, thanks to boarding school. She's sooo cool and beautiful and also brilliant. She does well with make-up just like Tee Jay and I. We just talked about random things and laughed and gave each other bone breaking hugs like we were indirectly telling each other we're gonna hold on no matter what. 

"Hey Char?"

"Yeah?"

"You know I love you, well we all do. How can someone not love you?"

That made me laugh a little. "As I was saying, we love you and want the best for you so all I'll say is study hard to achieve the A's, before the B's, considering the C's, deleting the D's, eliminating the E's and most of all forgetting the F's."

"Awww, that's so creative. Thank you. Love youuuu."

"Yeah, I know, I know."

"Okay but I think mine ends at the B's", she just laughs and says, “oh yeah, forgot you're a nerdie nerd". She teases. "Just like you, my dear bestieee."

"One more thing Char."

"Yeah, what is it, my noble adviser?"

"Get a BOYFRIEND", she screams, yes, that's how crazy she can be.

"W-what?"

"Get a B...." I cover her mouth before she could say more.

"I heard you the first time dearie."

"Okay, I mean we're in senior year and you're still single. Well if you don't...."

"I know, I know." Tee Jay and Avery have somehow in their own way planned my life cause they think I don't have time to do so. Classic friends. 

"Good to know that you remember."

"Hahaa very funny Tee Jay but no promises, I'll try. I don't think anyone will want me there."

"Don't say that, you've got the style, the brain and all that females could ever want. Where exactly are you moving to anyways?"

"She's moving to London and for study purposes only. Nothing more nothing less", a voice said. I knew the owner of that voice none other than... father.
