Serena

The Bells ring and off he goes. God, how I'm gonna miss him. I know it's only one week but that's along time. One week of not kissing his lips. One week of him not running his soft hands through my head. One week without his lopsided smile. One week not looking at his chocolate brown hair.

This wasn'thow I wanted to start my mid year break.

All I can think of is him coming home and taking me away from here for three weeks. Away from all the stress and hormones floating about these High school walls.

I guess it's time to go, no use staying here longer than I should. I walk across to my group of friends Tatiana is holding her favourite book, spies don't die, while listening to the conversation. Jess and Claire are talking about all the guys they wanna get with. I walk in and immediately regret it as Claire and Jess bombard me with questions

"Team Jacob or team Edward?"
"Harry or Niall?"
"Don't lie if Thor walked in now you would so jump his Bones wouldn't you? "

I guess some things never change. Wait did she just say Edward or Jacob? I thought that franchise would have died out by now but I also thought they would know I only have eyes for one man. Guess I can't always be right.

"Team Hunter all the way ladies," I exclaimed " Hunter is the only guy for me." I'm sure they're tired of my answers but I can't help it. Why should I think of other guys when my perfect man is already here? Well I guess not everybody gets it. Jess and Tatiana start talking about their books and I can't help but smile. I'm so glad I'm friends with people who enjoy a good book.

Claire looks at me and laughs a bit and she said,"well I'm glad you lightened up, you looked like you were about to drown in a sea of misery a moment ago." I guess she knows me better than I thought. "Yeah,"I replied," I guess I just didn't wanna let Hunter go. I'm gonna miss him and I just don't wanna see him go, what if he doesn't come back?"

"He will come back Rena."
"How can you be so sure Claire?"
"I just know he will come back, he wouldn't leave you alone"
"That's what I thought when mum went camping and-"
"He isn't your mum"
"I know,"I said. And I really did know he wouldn't leave me. Not ever. I thanked Claire and turned to my little group.

"So what do we have planned for tonight?",I said. I was pretty excited for the week ahead. I miss spending time with my girls. School has been making it difficult to get some free time.

Jess, Claire and Tatiana all look at me like they have the best news in the word. "Well you remember how you were rambling on about how you wanted to go the theatre and watch 'Othello'?",asked Claire.

How could I forget? I spent my whole term raving about how amazing it was gonna be, only to find put that tickets had been sold out.

"Yeah,"I respond,my voice sounding like a little girl about to cry. "Well...,"said Claire,"we got tickets, Callista went to go pick them up!" I squealed at the top of my lungs,my cheeks turning a light shade of crimson. "Shut the front door!"I said,"how did you get these?" I couldn't help but giggle and Skip around the room my arms shaking violently. "It gets better,"said Jess. I asked her how it could possibly get any better and she said,"I got us front row seats for opening night tonight."

Damn it I love my friends. I gave them all big hugs and told them I'd see them later. I had to get dressed the show starts in four hours and I didn't even know what to wear. As I began to run out Claire calls out to me. She says that her and the girls would pick me up at my place at 6.

I ran out the room,out the corridors and out of this prison masquerading as a school,unable to hide the joy seeping out of my every pore.

I am alive and the holidays are here.

As I walk along the familiar path home. I notice a bright green VW beetle still parked outside the school. It's colour is hypnotic and I find myself staring at it before I leave the school once again.

June 26th 2015. Not such a bad day after all
