"Bye, see ya guys a week later" I smile pressing end call. I sigh and flop down onto my bed. Boy I wished I went to camp, but thanks to my stupid cold I have to spend an entire week with Year 5's. Just then I received a Skype call from Winter, and Winter alone. "Hey Winter" I say throwing my fist at the camera which Winter did back. "So what's happening?" I say with a raised eyebrow. "Nothing really" she replied shrugging with a half dazed look on her face. I frown. "Then -no offense- but why do you look so lost and worried at the same time?" I point out. "Uh, I was going to tell the other but... You've got to promise you won't tell anyone!" She cried out at a really awkward timing. "I promise" I say crossing my heart. "Ok" she took a breath. "Well, yesterday I went to Saffy's cafe and... I took my order yada yada ya" she said waving her hands around. I stifle a laugh at how her 'yada yada ya' but she ignored me and continued. "When Lachie, Leon,Freddy and Andy walked in. I didn't want to be seen so I kinda hid, eavesdropping half the time until Leon saw me but Andy said something about spring and he then went back to talking and laughing with the others. Then they left. So I par cored over cause there a piece of paper on the table so I picked it up and read it and it...it was quite depressing". She said quietly. "What it say" I ask "I donno but it was Andy's signature paper". "Here I took a photo of it right before Saffy came over to pick up all the rubbish" she said holding up her phone to reveal a fading blue piece of paper with a
smudged A+ on the top right corner. Who will miss me when I'm gone? Probably no one. No one likes Andy Bates.
I screenshot it on my laptop and stared at it forgetting Winter was still Skype-ing me. I was just about to go deep into my thoughts when Winter said a quick bye and end called. I email the photo to my phone (cause my laptop was running out of charge) then saved the photo to my photo stream and re-continued staring deeply at the photo. Millions of unsolved question flooded my mind, What does he mean?, Is he overreacting or..., What does he mean by like?.
As more and more question charged into my head I guess I fell asleep.
