You and your best friend, Lila, were inseparable from the moment she dared you to climb on the school roof in Year 4 and you said, “Bet.” Since then? Chaos. Inside jokes no one else understands. Secret codes for “bail me out.” Matching friendship bracelets from a booth at the mall you both pretended weren’t $1.

She was the loud one. You? The one with a death glare and a soft heart. She had pink hair last month—blue this week. You’re still recovering from the glitter disaster she caused in your room two years ago (glitter...does not leave).

And yet, nothing prepared you for this summer.

Because Lila’s family is moving.

To another country.

Cue silent stares across your bedrooms. Plans to sneak her into your suitcase. Promises to video call every day (but you both know that’s not the same).

So the mission? Spend the last 2 weeks making the most unforgettable memories. Sneak out. Pull an all-nighter on the beach. Crash a wedding. Break into the old abandoned movie theater (shhh). And finally, write your “manual of us,” a scrapbook of everything you two have ever been through.
