We decided that to make it easier we'd drop off all of the stuff we bring back that we didn't want to keep at the Keppel Sands house and even thought Aquilla's house was the closest we still had a couple hours to the eclipse so we decided to explore more shops at Gracemere.
On the last day we tried our best to pack our bags to our best ability so they looked like how we had had them before any of this but no matter what they all looked a little bit too full. Eventually giving up I tried one last tactic, I hadn't tried it before but I was sure it would work. I grabbed the bin bags from under the sink, ripped one off, opened it and put all of the phones, ipads and switches I was trying ro bring with me. Success! It didn't look like I was obviously trying to hide something but it still created an outline as if I had something crammed in my bag. I raised my hands in triumph and let out a bust of laughter as the others had given up.
Soon they had a bit of a bulge in their bag as well but hey it was better than once you opened one zip a smidge everything pops out. Going to bed that night we tried to get to sleep by 9:30pm incase we actually made it back and had a normal school day ahead of us but the hope and anticipation wouldn't leave our minds. Finally after an hour of gruelling silence as one after another we soon drifted off to sleep I grabbed my watch once I was sure i was about to fall asleep. 10:30pm. Great my normal bed time even though my parents hated it, as I got older I found it harder to fall asleep earlier unless I was whipped out.
I used the light eluminating off of the watch to see that the others had fallen asleep so I placed it back on the beside table and rolled over, finally my eyes shut and I drifted into darkness. I woke with a start as a stupid Cockatoo flew past chirping it's head off at the rissing sun. What time was it? Fuck- 6:30! Sitting up I threw a pillow at the others and in turn I had it thrown back only to cop it in the head again- what is with me and getting pillows to the head. To quickly, far to quickly the day approached and as I woke up to another stupid screeching flock of Cockatoos looked at the date. September 9th.
