It was now Lunch and let's just say Hailee was back to being stressed.

Instead of sitting with the others she sat alone, poking her salad.

"Geez Hails what did the salad ever do to you?", joked Apollo, sitting down beside her.

Hailee let out a small laugh but poked her salad harder.

Apollo could sense something was wrong but decided not to question it.

"Oh um, I did that thing that you asked. Your grandad's really cool and nice by the way", said Apollo.

"Thanks, you're the first friend here apart from Thomas that he's seen", she said.

Apollo's eyes widened. "Really?! I'm honoured!"

Hailee laughed and almost choked on her food. 

Apollo laughed. "Oh and I got that thing you asked for", smiled Apollo.

Hailee's hugged him tightly, smiling brightly. "You did?! Apollo I could kiss you right now!"

They both stared at eachother, still hugging.

"B-But I won't because that would be... odd", Hailee added quickly.

Apollo nodded and they both pulled away.

Hailee held open her bag and Apollo put the item in it for her.

Lunch was over and everyone was now in History Class.

Hailee got a text message and her brain went into overload.

Hello Hailee, this is Edenshaw Home of Performing Arts and we would like to tell you that we were incredibly inpressed with your application. You have until tomorrow to confirm your place. We apologise for the short notice and hope to see you soon.

Jasper stared at his page for what seemed like minutes, stuck on one particular question.

Garett leaned over and gave him the answer and accidently saw the message.

Hailee quickly put away her phone, trying to answer these questions AND make up her mind.

The Bell rang for the final lesson and Hailee ran to the bathroom.

Her emotions got the better of her and she broke down in tears. Hailee Valley. The bravest girl ever. The strongest. What if she told everyone that deep down... she was terrified of going through life alone?

She slowly got out her phone and called the only person she could.

"T-Thomas? N-No, no I'm fine...what? No grandad's fine. Well, he isn't but... Thomas everything's a mess. The deadline for the School I always wanted to go to is tomorrow. I don't know what to do. I need you here Thomas, you're my best friend. You always know how to help. Please Tommy, please..."

30 minutes later, Hailee walked out and wiped her eyes. She took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.

She saw Garett and pulled the girl into a room, closing the door.

"Hailee?! What's going on?! I have to g-"

"Garett just listen!", she interupted. She sat down with her.

"Garett... when I look at people who inspire me do you know who I think of?", asked Hailee.

Garett just shrugged.

"I think of you. I think of all that you've been through and I think about the person you are today. You're incredible Garett", said Hailee, close to tears.

The feeling was mutual as Garett had tears in her eyes too.

"I want you to have something", said Hailee, reaching in her bag.

She held out her Crown.

"Hailee I can't...", said Garett, shocked.

"Garett I want you to have this because, to me, you always have and always will be... a Queen", said Hailee.

Garett cried and she hugged Hailee, tears flowing down Hailee's face too.

Hailee puller away and tried to compose herself. She gently placed the Crown on Garett's head and stood up, getting her things.

"See? It looks much better on you", she said, laughing a little.

Garett laughed, touching the Crown.

"I need you to promise me something", said Hailee.

"Of course, anything", said Garett.

"I'm leaving tomorrow and I need you to promise not to tell the others until I've gone", said Hailee, fighting back tears.

Garett's eyes widened. "What?! Hailee no, please... you can't leave!"

"Garett please", she said, in tears.

She didn't wait for a reply but as she opened the door to leave she heard a weak. "I promise"

Hailee wiped away her tears and walked out of the School.

She got out her phone.

'To Edenshaw Home of Performing Arts, I would happily accept the offer. I will be flying over shortly. Thankyou very much for this opportunity'

She hit the send button, tears falling on the screen.

I'm an emotional wreck right know.

And that 'Please Tommy, please' was from The Maze Runner'
