Broken Hearts

7

I was in the second and last week. And finally, today is the last day at home...for a while... I was packing everything that I thought I could need, in my room, when Danny knocked.

- Huh, I can't believe you're going camping tomorrow, without me...!

- Come on, bro, it's just for a week. - I remembered him.

- I know, but you're still my little sister. And I promised mom and dad that I would take care of both of you.

- You seem daddy talking. - we laugh together. - I'm grateful for everything you've done to me, really! Thanks, big brother!

- You're welcome, little sister. - I gave him a hug. - The dinner is already on the table.

- Okay, let me just finish packing my bag and I'll go.

He waited for me for a few more minutes and we went downstairs to dinner.
I guess I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. But I wasn't feel nervous. Then what was going on with me?
On the next day morning, after I eat my breakfast, Dimitri rang my house's bell and waited for me outside. When I saw him, I couldn't stop laughing. He was more exciting than me! All the way to school he couldn't stop talking about how much fun it would be. Just the two of us having fun...! It only made me laugh.
Finally we arrived at school. Gosh, so many people! More than I was expecting! I guess the entire school was there! Even if were not just a few of them...

- Abigail! - my friend called, running to me!

- Zoey! - I run to her as well to hug her.

- You came! How are you? And your foot? - she asked.

- I'm fine. It was just two weeks. It passed fast. And how're you? And Hawaii?

- I'm fine, too. It was hot there. Really...like really hot! - we laugh. - Have you hear the breaking news?

- No... What breaking news? - I asked.

Geez! Even the summer holidays people don't stop!

- You know...that...Thomas is here...right?

- Yeah, I thought it would probably happen, when I left home, today.

- And...he's not alone. He has a new girlfriend named...Kelly.

- He left Daisy? Seriously? What happened?

- She got tired of him. But it seems that this Kelly is older than him two years.

- I'm sorry, I didn't introduce you. Zoey, this one of my brother's friend, Dimitri. Dimitri, this is my friend Zoey.

- Nice to meet you, young lady. - he said.

- Hello. Nice to meet you too!

- Well, maybe she's here to control students...like me. - Dimitri said.

- But, I thought only students from here could do that. - I said.

- Me too, sweetie. But, don't worry. If you need help or anyone of them bother you, tell me, okay? Now, excuse me, ladies, but I have to find the teachers. Bye.

- Bye, Dimitri! - we said.

- I see you don't waste time either! - Zoey said.

- What? What are you talking about?

- Dimitri. He's kinda hot! You're so lucky, having a boyfriend like him!

- He's not my boyfriend! - I laugh. - We just see each other as brother and sister. Nothing but that.

- It didn't seem like that. Honestly, I thought he liked you...more than a sister.

- No. But wait. You like him? Oh my God, you're in love with him?! But you've just met him!

- Well, you have to admit it. He's hot!

I laugh. Who could have said? Zoey in love...with one of my brother's friend? This I wanted to see!
We walked to one of the buses and sat down. The trip took two hours. One hour to listen to music and talk with Zoey and Dimitri and the other to sleep a bit.
The buses stopped. We were in a forest. Huh! It'll feel good walk a little bit. Gosh, my legs! I guess I stayed in the same position for too long!
But, as I went out of the bus, I saw Ethan right in front of me. He was counting the students from the bus I was leaving. I waited for everybody to leave the bus to go talk to him.

- Ethan? Is that you?

- Of course it's me! Who else could it be?!

Zoey stayed looking at us. I was so embarrassing!

- What are you doing here? You're not from my school...!

- I came to help your school. - he got blushed.

- Yeah, right! - I doubted, smiling.

- What do you mean by 'yeah, right'?! - he complained.

- Nothing...! Keep doing your job, I'm just going to sit over there. - I said.

- No, you won't! You'll just stay here and wait for the others!

- Who are you to give me orders!? - I complained.

- Your leader! And you'll have to do what I say. Now, can you stay here and wait for your classmates, please?

Zoey stood next to him. She seemed happy with him. What?! He's not what he says he is! Zoey! Can't you see?! Oh, come on!

- Abbs, are you okay? Come here. Why are you so distant? - she said.

- Yeah, why are you so distant? - he repeated with a tricky smile.

Oh, sometimes he pisses me off!!! I just wanted to beat him! But when I looked to his eyes, my heart started to beat really fast. Oh my God! Am I blushing? No! I can't blush right now! They will catch me!

- Abbs, are you okay? - Zoey asked me. - Why are you blushing?

- I know I'm irresistible but you don't need to blush...! - Ethan said.

- I'm not blushing! - I screamed.

And then I ran away but, suddenly, Thomas appeared right in front of me.

- Hey, Abigail! How are you? - he asked.

He seemed happy. But suddenly, Ethan came after me, calling for me. Huh? He stopped. Why? He seemed shocked and he couldn't stop looking at the girl who was with Thomas. Wait a minute, they know each other?! Who is she?

- Ethan, what a surprise see you here! - the girl said.

- I say the same! - he wasn't in a very good mood...!

- You know him? - Thomas asked her.

- My ex-boyfriend. - she answered.
