Faith comes flying towards me when she sees me in tutor time, in a year i've been away we texted and chatted on facebook but never actually met up. she looks amazingly different, her usual mousy hair has finally grown down her back the way she wanted it to since primary school. She's dyed it a rich dark brown and its curly and looks fantastic.
"Grace! oh my god you look fantastic!" She flings her arms around me but i pull back a little. Faith seems different more sure of herself... cool. i run a hand nervously through my short feathery hair.
"Erm thanks." I say awkwardly. my eyes sweep across the classroom taking everything in. Jodie's sitting at the back with her arms looped around a guys neck. she's dyed her hair a startling maroon and is wearing a skirt so short she might as well not be wearing it at all. I watch her carefully and then stop, time stands still as she stands up and i can see the guy. i freeze, the guy is taller more handsome then last year, his glasses are gone and i presume he's wearing contacts. his hair though is still umistakeably ginger as he laughs.
It's Harry.
He turns and sees me, his eyes lock mine and i'm still for a second, the one guy i thought liked me... He goes pink and straightens his collar.
"Hey Grace, why are you back in this dump?" Jodie says as she winds a shocking purple curl around her finger. she smiles but ts the kind of smile a cat gets when it corners a mouse. She opens her mouth and her next words confirm my fears:
"I guess you've already met Harry my boyfriend then?"
