Gentle Summer Breeze

Chapter Three

Three...two...one! The bell rang as students dashed out of their classrooms. I headed towards my locker hoping to see Jeremiah. But standing before it was a group of friends. "Catherine!", one of them called. I moved closer and saw that it was my bestfriend, Astrid Brown. "Hey Astrid!", I called back. "Well, these guys wanted to meet you, so Catherine, meet Jasmine Snow, she loves drawing so if you mind. Then here's Alexandra Hill and Joseph Turner, the school's best couple; and there's Mary Anne Bells...well we're not that close actually. But try to be friends with her." "Nice to meet you guys! But I need to go home. So maybe I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye!", I said hurriedly. "Bye Catherine!", they all called out, except for Mary Anne, who just stood in the corner.

Dinner time this night was the most awkward I ever had. Every bite I took reminds me of time Jeremiah and I sat together during lunch break. It was very silent until dad decided to speak up. "So how's school, darling?" "Uhm. Great, I guess.", I replied. "Well, you got a year to prove yourself better than last time, dear.", mom said. "Yes mom...", I sighed.

Finally, dinner time was over. Time for me to rest and wait for tomorrow.

*1:00 am*

"Why can't I sleep?!", I muttered to myself. "I can't get you off my damn mind! Uhh!"

*Jeremiah's POV*

*1:00 am*

"Catherine...please.", Jeremiah muttered asleep.
