Complicated Love (a Bars and Melody fan fiction)

Chapter 28

I woke up excited yet scared on what was almost an average Friday. However it was not an average Friday; it was my last day of school. My last day of lessons at the school I had spent the last 5 years of my life at. I would then start college before maybe going to a university all in the preparation for going into the big bad world.

I got dressed into my dull school uniform for the last time knowing that it was not going to be a dull day. I did my makeup how I usually did it and slightly curled my long honeycomb hair. I then got my bag before running downstairs.

As I got on the bus I started thinking about how I would never get this bus again. Lauren and I would no longer have our bus chats. As Lauren sat down beside me I knew she was thinking the same thing.
"Last day of being bus wankers," she joked.
"I'm going to miss our bus trips," I smiled.
"Don't start crying!" she exclaimed. "My hormones are a mess as it is and I'm so close to crying that if you cry I will be gone!" I half laughed at her comment.

When we got off the bus we met the others at the gates.
"I think I might cry today," Imogen announced.
"Tell me about it!" Lottie exclaimed.
"I've been waiting for this day for so long!" Nadine exclaimed. "I thought I'd be so happy but all I want is to rewind time. I'm on the verge of tears!"
"Just talking about it I'm welling up," Penny told us. Charlie snaked his arm around my waist and kissed my forehead.
"I'm going to miss you," he whispered in my ear.
"I'm going to miss you so much," I replied. At the thought of Charlie leaving I started crying. He pulled me closer and gently kissed my forehead as I cried.
"And Kira is the first to cry!" Leo announced.
"And I'm the second," Lauren announced through tears.

At break we all sat on the field one last time. We just sat and reminisced.
"Kira! Zoe!" A voice shouted from the distance. Suddenly Ryan came and engulfed us both in a hug.
"Hey Ryan!" Zoe smiled.
"Good luck with the future," he told us.
"Don't loose my number!" I warned him.
"Like I could do such a thing!" he exclaimed. We had a tearful farewell with Ryan before Carina came and took him away.

The break was almost perfect bliss until Queen Bitch and Kayla came strutting over.
"Hey good luck future McDonalds workers," Kayla giggled.
"At least we won't be jobless like you," Nadine replied.
"Oh and Kira have fun being single for the rest of your life!" May sniggered.
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" I asked while getting up. She looked nervous.
"I... uh... guess?" she stuttered unsure. Everyone looked confused. We walked to the side leaving a dumbfounded Kayla.

"This our last day of school," I started. "And I'll probably never see you again and I just want to know why you've been so horrible to me? All these years you bullied me why?" May stared at me for a moment. She looked like she was contemplating an answer.
"I don't know," she replied. "I guess I was jealous. You're smart and pretty and you always got all the boys I wanted. You have always been so much better than me. And I was jealous. As well as that I wanted to be popular. In primary school I was the loser everyone ignored. I thought that if I could become better than you I would be popular. I'm sorry,"
"We could have been great friends," I told her. "And I accept your apology. Good luck with everything,"
"Thanks. And good luck to you as well. I hope you can make things work with Charlie. He seems like a nice guy," she replied. I walked back to my friends feeling content. Her apology couldn't just erase all the plain she had inflicted upon me but it made me feel a bit better. Because at the end of the day life is too short to hold grudges.

The day was not short of hilarious pranks. The toilets were cling filmed , the toilet cubicles were covered in sticky notes, people were using water guns and loads more things like that. By the end of the final lesson it actually felt quite good to have finished school. As I walked out hand in hand with Charlie with all my friends around me I knew life would never be like this again. I could loose their friendships as life takes us to different places. But the memories will last a lifetime. Me and my girls together. The lessons, the inside jokes, the fun. The memory of how our small group became so big. And as we walked out of the gates for the last time I knew that everything would change.
