To not run away (dnf)

I'm hugging my close best friends and mom good bye. Mattie's in tears but sap nap and Bethany are sharing a blank and sympathetic expression. They've always been the chill type.

"Don't forget to call, ok?" Mom says.

"Ma, me? forget?" I put my hand in my chest. I play hurt as she perks up her eyebrow. "I'm just kidding ma, you know that I love you."

Sapnap snorts knowing that I may have forgotten to call a few times. Georgie glances at me as I take a stand in front of Sapnap, " Remember to knock them dead in the fields, ok?" He continues to still seem blank. He may not show his crying, but when I pulled him in for another hug his back was shaking.

"It's gonna be ok," I whisper.

he quickly straightens up and he nods as he swiftly wipes the tear away. When I reach Bethany she gives me a tight squeeze as she ruffles my hair. Smiling, I start swatting as I back away. "Bye, Bethany." I say to her.

"Come back really soon. Ok?"
