Nobody hates Mondays as much as I do. School. I sighed and walked downstairs slowly.

"Morning." I mumbled and started eating the pancakes my mum made for me.

"Morning Honey" She kissed me on the cheek and sat down, watching me carefully. 

I looked into her eyes. "What?" 

"You look different today. In a good way I mean." She smiled at me. 

"Oh" I looked down. 

"I have some good news!" she exclaimed happily. I shaked my head and laughed to myself. "Remember, Calum's sister? Malikoa?" I froze.

"Yes..." 

"Her Mother rang me today morning, and she will come round later with Malikoa. She misses you." She said softly.

"I miss her too." I smiled and quickly walked upstairs. 

Malikoa was one of my bestfriends too, although I haven't seen her since last year. I don't really know what happened. It's going to be a shock for me as she looks exactly like Calum. The same eyes, colour of the hair, even the voices sound simillar. Not the same though, she's obviously a girl. I smiled to myself. I was getting better and I was proud of myself.

"Hey, Holly!" Shelby shouted when she saw me on the way to school. Some people stopped and looked around, confused.

"Damn, Shelby, do you have to always be so loud. It's annoying. " I said playfully.

"Shut up Hols, you love it. The attention, don't you?"

"What the hell are you on about? I don't why would you even say that, you know i'm not that like that slut Alyson."

Alyson was a school slut, and slept with almost everyone. She used to bully me, but then she stopped when Calum, Luke and Michael told her off. They were always very protective. 

"Jesus, calm down, you know I was joking." She rolled her eyes and I breathed in deeply, trying to calm myself down.

"I know, it's just.. my mood can change within seconds, I don't know what's wrong with me." I tried to stop the tears, so I started walking faster. 

She shaked her head, and then smiled at me. 

"It's fine. OH MY GOD. Have you heard about the new school trip?" She shouted, a lot more louder now. 

"NO. I don't care. I'm tired, I want go back to bed." I whined when the view of school came to my sight.

"Oh, You'll be happy, when you find out, what trip it is."

"Everyone shut up!" Mr Delf settled down the class. "So I assume, you've heard about the new trip?" Some students nodded and I just yawned loudly.

"Miss Hathaway, do you want to swap, so you can tell the whole class, what the trip is going to be about" He looked straight at me and I flushed tomato red.

"Okay.. as I started saying" he began and looked at me once again, starting walking around the classroom. "I talked to the teachers, we all had the meeting, and we all decided to go to England. Only your year though. The Trip is going to be expensive, that's why only 25 people can go. Talk to your parents today, ask them, and more details are on the school website.

England, England, England, England, England, England, England, England, England, England.. 

I couldn't believe it. Yes, I have been in England before but whenever someone says England, it always reminds of Calum. What if I see him again? Would we talk again? Would he care? Would he be happy?
