As the earlier posters had mentioned, you can use 'sayonara' and 'bye bye'.
If you want to say, 'see ya', 'see you around' etc, you can say:
dewa mata
sore dewa
sore ja
ja mata
ja ne
ja
etc.
good job :D

just wanted to add,
mata ashita (see you tomorrow)
shitsureishimasu (kinda complicated but its like i'm going but I'll be back) Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

We use "shistsurei shimasu" when leaving a superior like a teacher's office. When entering, to.

In English if I meet a friend I say hello, but if I leave I say Bye. In Japanese when I leave a friend I say konnichiwa (like in Italian where we say Ciao when meeting and leaving) or there is another word as in English?
konnichiwa only means good afternoon

when you leave someone for a long time, and will not see them for a while, you say sayounara.

when you leave a friend you can say: Ja mata (see you) or Ja mata ashita (see you tomorrow) also you can say bai-bai (bye-bye) but i think this is a little more girls say it. also you can say Ja ne (cya)

shitsurei shimasu, is more like when you enter a room you say this and when you exit a room, (the room where you have people of higher rank then you and you be polite to them.)
