You're My Forever

Trip | 116

2 Weeks Later... 

For grade 12's, our school had a tradition to have a trip just for fun at the end of each semester. This semester was going to be ending in another week but because of the curriculum this semester and what not, things would be too busy to book the trip for any later.

That being said, our trip was today. Today was Monday and this trip was going to be for three nights, meaning we would be back Thursday night. 

Our school had a thing for being a really rich school (which is why we were even able to have two grad trips anyway...) so our trip was to a VERY nice place. 

We were literally going to freaking ICELAND. It was winter right now so it was also going to be very snowy there which I was happy about. Just thinking about seeing the northern lights with Jack gave me goosebumps. 

But at the same time.. I didn't want to have this trip when I was still on bad terms with Alena and kind of Lucas..

Ever since Lucas and I talked.. I don't really know how I felt about him anymore. I was still mad at him for his reasoning for leaving Alena but I appreciated that he believed that I didn't spill the secret. We haven't been talking very often but when we did, they were pretty short and quiet conversations. 

As for Alena, I haven't talked to her since that day two weeks ago. I figured that she wanted space and she definitely deserved it. I felt so bad though.. I've been observing her a little bit sometimes and she looked very down and depressed. 

That made sense though.. By now, pretty much everybody knew of her secret. To be fair, a lot of people couldn't care less about it since it had literally nothing to do with them, which were the sensible reactions, but a lot of idiots have been teasing her about it. 

But maybe this trip would be good for her.. Hopefully she could calm her mind, relax and just have fun for a while.

I was also going to try not to worry about this problem while on the trip. I believed I also deserved a break from guilt for a while. I definitely also believed that I deserved this trip after these past four years. 

So I was definitely going to make the best of it.

But when I woke up this morning, I definitely wasn't having too much fun.. Since our flight was five hours and we wanted to get there early, the school booked the 5 am flight..

That meant I had to wake up at 3:30 freaking am..

When I woke up, I felt completely dead. I definitely did not get enough sleep last night..

I groaned as I turned over and shut my loud alarm quickly, my eyes staying closed. I scrunched my eyes shut as I sat up in bed, putting my hands over my face. 

Slowly I opened my eyes to be faced with my completely dark bedroom. Right, the sun wasn't even going to be up for hours..

Very tiredly, I went to my closet to get dressed.

I put on some black sweatpants as well as a red sweatshirt. I tied my bedhead hair into a very messy bun then went to brush my teeth. After that, I grabbed my suitcase that I packed the day before then tiredly but quietly left my house. 

Jack showed up outside at just the same time as me. 

Both of us smiled tiredly as we greeted each other with a hug and quick kiss. 

Since Jack seemed even more tired than me, I decided to drive. So after getting our suitcases in the trunk, we were off to school. Both of us were yawning the whole way there. 

When we got there, we walked to the front of the school where there were four large buses. On the other side of the buses is where all of my classmates were. Everybody else looked extremely tired as well which made sense.
