Once Upon A Time (l.s.)

31st May, 2011

The final exams are finally over, junior year at school is done, the summer break has now started. In years before this, summer break used to be the best time of the year for us. We always hung out together, we were always together, taking turns at sleeping in each other's rooms. We always played footie in my backyard. At first, my dad used to play with us, us both against him, but then, he started complaining about getting old, so it became you against me. I don't really know how I am going to spend my summer this year, without any company. Might as well learn something new. I am planning on doing nothing but binging on Netflix. Even that is going to feel incomplete without your head resting in my lap, my fingers in your curls or your warm body next to mine, your strong arms wrapped around my slight shoulders. 

You were always really protective of me, you being the older one. Remember that summer, the one before year 5 when some older boys started bullying me because I was short and looked like a girl? You fought them for me, you told them off, you protected me. The next day, they pushed me to the ground while I waited for you in the park, I scraped my knee and it was bleeding. When you arrived, you asked me where I got the hurt. I was crying, but I said that I, being my clumsy self, tripped and fell. You, however, saw right through my lies. You then punctured both tires of all their bikes and we ran from there, just a note stuck to their carrier saying, 'Touch my best friend and it will get worse'.  Haha, those days were fun. But I miss you Harry. I miss you so much...

Your ex-best friend

(A/N: Sorry, I am not from the UK so I am not so sure about how the schooling system works. Lets just pretend that summer break starts in June and ends in August)
