Veronica's Point of View:

Flight 134 to Los Angeles now boarding.

Well that's my flight! Ok, maybe I said that a little too happily. Actually, definitely a little too happily. I could tell from the looks of dejection placed on my family and closest highschool friends. True, I was leaving but I would be back for Thanksgiving and Christmas and the summer. You know, major holiday type things. No, it's not that I'm heartless and don't care about anyone. Ok... maybe I'm a little heartless... but just enough to not get overly attached to things. Highschool is over, I'm going to college... in California. To UCLA my dream school. To major in Political Science/ prelaw... my umm dream career choices.

Yes Veronica, I suppose it is. That was my mom, I swear she is the only person who still calls me Veronica... oh well to everyone else I'm Ronnie. Thankfully too... Veronica sounds like such a little priss name. Now look dear, call us as soon as you get to your college. Then again once you get somewhat settled down. So have a good flight and I'll talk to you later. With that said, my mom engulfed me in a hug and kissed my cheek. Good thing, I'm the middle child... my parents had already gone through this and I knew they wouldn't start crying in the middle of the airport like they had with my older brother, William.

Basically, my father did the same thing. Hugged me, kissed me on the cheek and wished me luck. My younger sister hugged me and said she'd miss me. How sweet! Now that I leave she decides to stop acting like a brat. Next came my group of three best friends... Beth, Miranda, and Abigail. Then hugged me... Beth always being the supersensitive one was practically crying. Then came the hardest goodbye...

It seems so pathetic up until junior year of highschool, I protested two things, one was love and the other was the existence of highschool relationships. To me, at the age of 16 people were too young to be in love and too young to know what love even was. Therefore, highschool relationships could never work because you didn't know what you wanted and having a relationship last more than a month was just stupid because there were so many fish in the sea. I was wrong. I'll admit it, I was truly wrong. He was perfect. Well for me , he was perfect. He was the only thing left in New Hampshire that made me even think twice about going to school in California. But, my whole life it'd been my dream to go and he understood that.

Well, I guess you are the only one left me to say goodbye to. I said as Devon started walking towards the terminal with me. Bye everyone. Love you all! MUAH! I said waving and blowing kisses. The whole time Devon still walked beside me. Umm Devon, you are aware that you are not going to California with me right?

Um, yeah Ronnie I know this. He said. He looked so sad. Why did he have to look so sad? His green eyes were so dark and their natural brightness seemed to be replaced with the look of brimming tears. Aww...my poor baby, he was actually going to miss me.

Well just making sure baby boy. I said with a smile. Ok, so I had a tendency to be sarcastic. Natural... bursting with emotion and being all I love you let us never part'... was just so not me. If I forced to show someone that I had a heart... I could maybe manage that but a natural showing of open emotions, well that was a big No-No. Sorry... it displays weakness and considering I wanted to be in Politics weakness was simply not something I would have. So umm... I guess this is goodbye.. I said slightly to the side of the lady waiting to take my ticket and let me board.

Yeah, I guess it is. But you'll call me when you get there right?

Yeah sure Devon, I'll e-mail you to. Would you then like a post card through snail-mail? I said once again rather sarcastically. He can't see you cry, he can't know you care. That was all that went through my mind.

Ha... funny. But yeah actually I would. I'm really going to miss you Ronnie. You... well you are the best.

Oh, I know. I'm often told that or something like it. Ronnie you are the best.', Ronnie, you are astounding.' or a great one Ronnie you brighten my world.'

Well, you do brighten my world. He said and pulled me into a hug and kissed my cheek.
I hugged him back, awww Devon so natural to be here hugging you. I looked up at him. You know that great height? The one where the guy is like only 6 inches taller so it makes him just a head taller than you and your head fits right underneath his chin. That's how we were. I was only 5'4 and he was 5'10. It was great. Anyways, I looked up at him and he was there with his two orbs of green eyes just making me look at him like I couldn't turn away. I don't know if I was trying to memorize his face or if I was just afraid to leave him. This guy would for some unknown reason had wanted me, when all these other girls had wanted him. He bent down slightly and kissed me... it was gentle and light but I didn't want it to end.

When, I pulled apart it was to the sound of This is the final boarding call for Flight 134 to Los Angeles. Please board the plane now.

So I really have to go. But, I'll talk to you later. And don't worry, I'll miss you too. I said smiling and released myself from his grasp.

Hey Ronnie? He said as I was handing my ticket to the lady. I love you. Bye.

I know... I said as she gave me back my ticket.

Okay, just umm making sure. Bye then. He sounded so sad, so dejected... oh messing with guys heads is so much fun.

I love you too doll. Goodbye, I'll talk to you soon. Bye! I said and heard him shout Bye Ronnie! as I waved and walked on the plane.

Taking off, I hoped that California would be as good as I had always hoped.
