8. Last day

Lucy's POV
Today is our last day at school, not including Victoria. I have made the decision to continue school on set with the rest of the cast mates my age but the boys are dropping out completely.I was still set on graduating and finishing high school since this is senior year anyways. 

Michael is definitely the most excited about dropping out. It's all he talks about. He just kept forgetting that he still had to go until the end of this week and the day has finally arrived. 

I feel awful that we're leaving Victoria behind, but she has other friends and the guys will only be gone for a month. My plane leaves tomorrow and instead of spending more time with my friends this week like I should've been doing, I've been packing. I'm practically done, besides some last minute essentials.

"Last day whoo hoo!" Michael shouted excitedly as he came running up behind me. I was at my locker getting my books for the last class of the day.

"At least you won't make me write anymore of your essays," I was obviously teasing him but he didn't seem to mind. 

"I'll always find a way to make you do my work, even if it isn't school related." He said leaning up against the lockers beside me. 

"I'll be across the world from you Michael," I said shutting my locker and turning to look at him. "You can try but it won't work." I sing-songed at him and poked his chest to push him away from me. 

He picked up my hand and pushed it away from his chest, "I'm gonna miss you." He said being serious for a moment. 

"As annoying as you can be," I sighed. "I'm gonna miss you too Mike."  I pulled him in for a side hug."But don't get all sappy on me just yet Clifford, we still have the whole day and tomorrow at the airport." I reminded him. 

It was important for all of us to not dwell on the time we have left. Instead, we should be enjoying our time together and have as much fun as possible. 

"Hi babe," Calum said as he walked up to me wrapping his muscular arms around my waist, pressing a kiss to my cheek.

"Hi handsome," I smiled up at him. He truly is the most handsome boy and I'm so lucky to have him.

"I'm gonna let the PDA slide this time." Michael warned and pulled his phone out to check any notifications he had received during class. 

The bell rang signaling that the last class of the day was about to start. 

"I have to go to class but I'll see you after school?" I asked Michael and Calum.

They nodded their heads, "We'll do something special for you to take your mind off of tomorrow." Calum said squeezing my waist gently. 

"Thank you," I stood up on my toes to press a kiss to his cheek, showing my appreciation for this. "I'll see you guys later." I walked in the opposite direction with my books in hand, mentally preparing myself for the last class I'll ever have to sit through in a real high school.

It feels so surreal to be walking out of the school doors for the last time with my bags in hand. I had to bring an extra bag with me today in order to carry all of my books.

I sat down on the school steps and dropped my bags by me as I waited for my friends. Luke was the first one out and he came rushing towards me. He sat down on the steps beside me and rested his head on my shoulder. "Please don't leave," he said sadly.
