My eyes widen at Serenity’s words. “You’re seriously quitting?!” I exclaim. “Yes, if all I do is cause more harm than good, then that’s the case,” Serenity replies, stone faced. “B-But you look so…happy while doing that! You can’t seriously be quitting! At least think it over…!” I reach out to Serenity, but she slaps my hand away. “Acting is child’s play anyways. What’s the point.” I just give up. “FINE! Then ditch that BOUGIE school that you were LUCKY ENOUGH to join! You’re wasting your potential, you know? Nobody will care if you quit.” Serenity turns around, expression unchanging. “If I’m being honest with you, I want to go away. All problems would be solved then.” I scoff. “Nobody would care if you did that.” “Okay then. So you wouldn’t be angry if I tried?” “No.” “Okay.” The power of regret hits me as I realized that I may have worsened her mindset. She gave up on her dream and this could probably be the last time I see her being friends with me. I go into my room and process the fact that so many people want to go away. I'm pretty sure she didn't mean it in the way Seb does, but what if she does.
