My Life

Chapter 14: The Good, The Great, The Ugly

Last day of school! Its been awesome my grades are A- and above which is what I needed, I haven't been late for class.. or maybe one or two times, but that's because Vince always stops me in the hall. I didn't keep my promise to myself, of not talking to my friends, but come on who can do that? So I talked to them I just didn't go over their houses, or hung out at the mall. Which really sucked but I got over it.

"Last day of school you happy?" Elias hugged me.

"Totally! I hope the summer goes by really slow, I can make up for the two months I missed with my friends" I smiled. Plus my mom said we'll be going to Perth Amboy more ofter to go to the beaches and everything. She said sometimes my friends can come with us, I bet they would love Reagan! That who I can't wait to see.

"Don't be late on your last day of school" My mom laughed as she pushed Elias, Adria and I out the door. Adria's graduation is tonight, I HAVE to go. Its not like she'll come to mine. I asked my mom why couldn't I just go hang out with my friends, I haven't for two months.

But shes making me.

Elias and I walked to school talking. I asked him since it will be his last year of school next year what he's planning on doing. I was afraid he was going to say he's going to move out and never talk to this family ever again, 18 years with them was enough. But he said he would think about it when the school year is over. I hope if he does move out he will stay close to home. 

As we walked into school everyone was happy. Camara flashes were going crazy as you walked down the hall. Teachers getting blind as students ran up to them and snapping pictures with them. There's only one thing I couldn't wait to do.

"Rose!" I yelled running up to her. She smiled hugging me back.

"Hey!" She yelled. "We missed you so much! You better have passed. It was so boring without you" I felt someone else join the hug, it was probably Chelsea or Ryan.

"If you ever do that to us again we are going to hurt you" Ryan jokingly laughed. I turned around hugging him. When Chelsea finally got to the hugging scene there was only one person I needed to see. It was hard watching him sitting in class like he used to. Sad, lonely, quiet and always staring out the window in his own word, which is probably made out of his nightmares. I wondered if he even still wants to talk to me.

I went looking for him. I hoped he was even in school today, he might have skipped. Before I was about to give up and go back to my friends someone slipped something over my head. A small white chain. I was scared at first but then I looked down at it and saw the silver "S" I turned around fast to see Jayden with a smile on his face. "You do not know how badly I have been waiting for this day!" He pulled me into a hug. I smiled into the hug I missed his warm hugs.

"You're not mad at me are you?" I asked. I guess I could have guessed he wasn't if he was he could have just threw the necklace at me and walk away.

"I would never be mad at you. I was a little sad that you stopped talking to all of us, but I knew it was for a good reason" He smiled. I felt bad, I think I hurt him out of everyone else.

He put his fingers under my chin, and making me face him. "Don't frown it's okay, we'll have all summer to make up for the two months" He smiled before placing his lips on mine. We broke apart when someone cleared their throat.

"Please put all your electronics away. Just because this is the last day of school doesn't mean you can break the rules. When the bell rings everyone will go to there regular class, where you will hand in all your books. We all thank you for this lovely school year, and will be happy to see a lot of you back next year. Have a wonderful summer" The principal smiled. I laughed to myself, I wonder if it hurt him to say lovely, "school year" It probably wasn't a good school year.
