"Hey guys, I forgot to tell you, I'm going to attend that school that Emily won't stop yapping about" you said which made your 3 best friends  look at you in shock.
"Wait you mean Tokyo Cram school!? No way your so lucky!!" Emily said aloud which made you groan at how she's taking this news positively.

"Tokyo Cram school? Oh the one located in Shibuya Japan? But that school is an after school- unless your dad chose to apply you there to attend full time classes?" Luka asked and you nodded, once again that smartass got everything right.

"Wait that means your moving out?!" Jake said and that made you face the pavement you were all walking on, silently nodding to his question.

"Damn, that means we'll never s-see you again?" Emily asked, her voice breaking which made you feel so bad. With all honesty, non of your friends didn't wanna see you leave them and you didn't wanna leave  'em too coz your pretty much inseparable.

"*Sighs* sorry guys but I'm afraid that's true, I don't think we'll ever return coz well my dad's job could lead to him being there for a while plus it is his homeland and he keeps telling me that I should engage with my own Japanese peers instead of being here speaking my mother's native language a-and I'm j-just so s-sorr-" before you could finish your sentence, Luka came infront of you and hugged your body, trying to shut you up.

Emily soon joined the hug and also Jake.
Your eyes widened at how everyone just decided to hug you so they can shut you up, usually they just slap your mouth ʕ´• ᴥ•̥'ʔ.

"Hey it's ok, you don't gotta worry" Luka said which made you smile and hug back.
"But we're really gonna miss you a lot n/n" Jake said and you patted his back to reassure him that everything's gonna be alright.

"I know, I'm gonna miss you guys too, we better get going....my dad already booked us a flight which is going to leave at 5 am  tomorrow morning" you said and everyone pulled away, not quite pleased with your statement.

"That soon? Well I guess this is the last time we'll be together as a foursome group" Emily said and you nodded, feeling tears build up.

"Come on you guys, we gotta be positive, atleast today we made it worthwhile by finally pranking that dumbass Jack who wouldn't stop hitting on you and Emily" Jake said and you all bursted out laughing, remembering the extreme prank that you all pulled off on Jack today.

"Plus the lunch lady gave us extra pizza for helping them clean up the lunch room yesterday afterschool" Emily said and everybody smiled at how happy the lunch ladies were when they found how fast the lunch room was cleaned, plus very squeaky clean.

"And we can't forget about our math teacher Mr Williams who gave us extra lessons and awarded us for passing the practice test by taking us out to McDonald's yesterday" Luka said and everyone giggled at how Jake was eating his 4 happy meals.

"Hey come on, I was hungry, solving for x is very appetite building ya know" Jake said and everyone rolled their eyes playfully.

"Yeah yeah whatever- oop I didn't even realise that we were walking all this time" Emily said and everyone was shocked that they reached Jake's house.

"Aww dammit, well I guess we'll see each other someday y/n" Jake said and gave you a bear hug, which made everyone laugh at how you were being crushed in Jake's grip.
"Yeah I'll see you someday too Jake" you said, hugging him back.

Soon you both pulled away, and Jake ran into his front yard, yelling that 'he's home'.

Soon Emily also reached her household and gave you a very..... emotional hug which you returned with the same amount of passion.

Now it was just you and Luka, both chatting away on what you guys were doing the past week, laughing at some memories and even confessed about your deepest secrets, considering that there's really no point in hiding them since the both of you are trust worthy.

Now the both of you reached your household, which is next door to Luka.
"Well this is it" you said and faced Luka , seriously surprised to see him already in tears.

"Hey y/n?" Luka said with a soft voice, as if though what he was about to tell you was for you and only you. You smiled a little and nodded your head, signalling him that he can continue.

"Aishitemasu" he said and hugged you tight, as if though he didn't wanna let go. You on the other side were astonished.
"Really?" You whispered while hugging back, feeling like nothing was gonna separate you two.

"Yeah, promise me that when I somehow meet you again..... you'll give me your answer ne?" Luka said and you nodded, hearing the faint voice of your dad calling you.
"Yeah, see ya soon Luka" you said, pulling away from the hug with a faint blush on your cheeks.

Luka nodded taking something out of his pocket, placing it in your pocket before walking away. You were surprised but you ran inside your house, seeing that your dad was calling you non stop.
