The day I go back to school is Friday. To be honest I don't see why I should even go it's the last day of the week. And I have double English. And Friday night I have to go with Mum and "Amazing Mason" to his Lake house in Ambleside. I need a break so I decide to not go to school. Instead of going to the bus, I take a left and go down Smartson Lane to the park. I sit on the swing for a bit thinking but next thing I know it's 11 o clock and I'm hungry so I go to the ice cream van and get an ice lolly. Bad decision to eat an ice lolly on an empty stomach then sit on a swing. I end up being sick in a bin. There's a chip shop just down the road I remember so I go there and get a cone of chips and a drink then go back to the swings. I see another boy there. He has brown/blonde hair and emerald green eyes. He could be my brother. I think. But then I remember I have no brothers.
I notice his red uniform that he's from Rudstonville Private School.
"Never seen a Ruddy wag school before." I say after I sit besides him
He looked at me then said
"Trust me I don't wanna be there anymore than I wanna be in this stupid town with my stupid Dad and his stupid wife."
"Oh well that sucks...trust me I know how you feel. I've got to go to Ambleside tonight with my mum and her boyfriend to his "oh so amazing" lake house."
The boy chuckles
"I'm Harry."
"Ariana."
"Let me have a chip." He says but doesn't wait for my answer and just takes one anyway
"So then, Harry. Why did you move here?" I ask, hoping he doesn't think I'm nosy.
"My dad grew up here." He explains "his whole family moved but after his mum passed away he decided he wanted a change- to move back."
"Ohh." I say,nodding
"Have you told school why you're not there?"
"Yeah because I'm really gonna ring up and tell them that I'm wagging." I roll my eyes
"No! If you ring up pretending to be your mum or someone saying that your ill you won't get caught!"
"Good idea." I tell him so I ring up school and pretend to be my mum.
It's 3 o'clock when i start making my way home. I'm glad I met Harry. I don't know why but I felt as though I really connected with him. When i get home Mums rushing about trying to pack last minute stuff.
"Mum, we're only going for the weekend!" I tell her.
She ignores me as usual.
The car journey was HELL! Mum and Mason were being so wierd it's actually unreal so I just turned my music in my earphones up. We stopped at a gas station when I got a text from Jay:
HEY MY BROTHER SAYS HE SAW YOU AT CHIPPY WITH YOUR UNIFORM I THOUGHT U WERE ILL? ANYWAY MR SPERLING HAD TO LEAVE EARLY SOMETHING TO DO WITH HS KID HOPE YOURE OKAY FOR THIS WEEKEND CALL ME IF U CAN XX
I can't be bothered to reply. So I don't. And eventually I fall asleep.
My dreams scary. I'm sat on the swing and I'm swinging really high because someone's pushing me and when I turn around its Mason and he keeps pushing me really high and I can't get down.
I'm awaken when we finally arrive. Me and mum go straight to bed but Mason says there's a few things he needs to sort. About an hour later I need the toilet so I get up and go. Only I hear can Hear Mason in the phone.
"Yeah it's fine!.....of course she believes me!.......she thinks I'm her precious Mason......yeah the kid is annoying but who cares once I've got their money I'm done with them!.......okay I'll call you on Monday."
Oh Mason I think I know your secret.
