Randy was upset about the latest turn of events in his house. His dad's job got transferred to Oregon and they had to move. He just graduated high school and was getting ready to go to community college with his long-time friends from school, and now he had to move! What a gyp!
He had gone to his best friend Mark's house to break the news to him.
"What? there's no way!" he yelled in protest. "Theres no way you can stay?"
"Nah. i dont have a job, and I don't have much cash. Maybe I can go for a year and then come back sometime." Randy responded.
"What are you gonna do now?"
Randy looked at the floor. "I'm gonna go say goodbye to everyone I can real quick. I'm heading over to Sarah's now"
Mark gave him a hug and walked him out to the car and watched his blue-and-white minivan pull away.
Sarah was sitting in her living room as Randy's van drove up. He got out and walked to the front door, more sullen than usual. She answered it and let him in.
"Randy, whats wrong? You look like someone just killed your dog." Sarah said, her blue eyes looking at him with some concern.
"You see, Sar," he said, my dad's job is moving to Oregon and I have to go... there's no way I can stay. We're leaving in a week and I thought I'd come by and said goodbye real quick."
Her eyes welled up with tears as she heard it. She'd grown up with him, since 2nd grade, and now she was going to lose him. She gave him a hug and they started talking about how long they had known each other. They then started talking about high school and the classes they had together. But after a few minutes, she got a little more personal.
"Randy, do you remember when I was going out with Brian in our 10th grade year?"
"yeah."
