Angelina's POV

First day of Eden Hall. I woke up and got out of bed. I was in a particularly happy mood as I was going to surprise my best friends today. I did my normal morning routine, as usual and I picked out an outfit.

I ended up choosing this:

I packed my school bag, putting all my school supplies and my rollerblades in there, assuming that we would be skating to school

I packed my school bag, putting all my school supplies and my rollerblades in there, assuming that we would be skating to school. I grabbed my keys and left. I locked my door and put my keys in my pocket. I sighed.
"This shouldn't be too bad, right?"

I walked out of the building and started walking to Charlie's. He lives about 5 minutes away. I got to his apartment building and walked in. I went up the stairs to his floor and stopped at his front door. I took a deep breathe and rang the door bell.
"I'll get it Charlie you put your shoes on." I heard Casey say from the inside.

The door opened, Casey's eyes widened and she was about to gasp but I put my finger to my lips signalling for her to be quiet. She automatically knew what I was there to do and she gestured for me to come in. I nodded, glanced at her and she pointed to the room that he was in. I smiled at her and I headed towards the room. I felt my heart beat in excitement.

I got to the door and leaned on the door frame looking at my best friend tying his shoelaces. Here we go.

Charlie's POV

I was tying my shoelaces while my mom went to see who was at the door. I felt someone clear their throat.
"I hope you don't mind me joining you on your journey to school Spazaway." Someone spoke. My eyes widened and I looked up.
"Ange!?" I yelled. I jumped up and ran over and hugged my best friend. After she left for London we couldn't get into contact with her at all. I spent the rest of the school year and the summer worried, wondering if she was okay.

Angelina's POV

"Ummm Charlie I can't breathe." I said, but it was muffled as I was practically getting squashed by Charlie. He quickly pulled away from our hug and looked down at me.
"I haven't seen you in months! What the hell do you expect me to do!?" He exclaimed with a smile. I kept on looking up at him.

"Bro what the fuck?! How did you grow so much!? You're a giant!" I said, making him let out a small laugh. He was around 5'9 when we played in The Junior Goodwill Games, but he grew to about 6'1.
"I've missed you so much Ange, so much!" He said and he hugged me again, arms around me giving me a bear hug.

"I've missed you too Charlie, you have no idea how hard it was for me. Now come on let's surprise the others!" I said.
"My mom is driving us to the alley way where we are meeting Fulton and Goldberg." He said and I nodded with delight written all over my face. I have my friends back.

We were in the car heading to the alley way. We were finally pulling up.
"Watch it Mom. You might get" then something, what felt like a puck hit the car. "Hit. Don't worry about me Mom." We both stepped out the car. "Your right. As long as I have the Ducks I should be able to handle this new school." He said.
"That's my boy. Have a good day at school today guys. Ange you are welcome to stay any time you want." Casey waved.
"Thank you. Bye." I returned. And she drove away.
