Silent Memories

12 years of schooling. 12 years of going to classes. 12 years of being with my friends. Whether I have lost contact with them when I moved to High School. 12 years of good and bad memories. And yet now. This was the last day. The last day of classes. The last day I would be in school. The last day I could enjoy being a kid. And I was so happy. Happy to be spending it with my closest friends. Happy knowing that in just the past 2 weeks alone. I have been the happiest I have ever been. I got out of bed early. I wanted to make sure I was prepared for a good day. I didn't want to think about being in pain. I didn't want to think about everything that has gone wrong. I just wanted to have fun. I got up to my bed room door and walked towards the bath room. Well. One of them. I stared at myself in the mirror and just stared into myself. I honestly couldn't believe this was it. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. Not needing to do it all in ten minutes. I heard the door open behind me and saw Nathan walk in. We were both silent. We didn't need to talk. We knew that we had just spent 12 years together. We shared the room and got ready. We both walked out and headed towards the boys. Opening the door we found Lachlan and Mitch up and getting changed. It didn't matter. They nodded to us as they got ready. Lachlan may have only been with us for a small amount of time. But he has been one of my best friends. And Mitch. I would die for this guy. He has helped me through a lot that Erica and Nathan could. It pays off having a gay friend sometimes. Seth walked in behind us. The latest edition to our circle. And yet in the week he has been with us. He was the missing piece to our puzzle. Always making sure we laughed. Always helping. He may have been an ass hole. But if he has tried to make up for it. He had done more then that. I am almost sad he wasn't our friend earlier. The 5 of us just stood there in silence. Everyone was ready to go. But we still had an hour before we had to leave. No one said anything. I think we were all just processing the moment that we would never have to do it again. I opened the door and made my way to the lounge room. The boys followed me and Seth made sure I didn't fall over going down the stairs. We saw the girls were already down here talking. They both looked liked they had been crying. Megan was always the mum for us all. Looking after us all. Making sure we were ok. For years she was our best friend. And Just an amazing person to have the pleasure of meeting. And Erica. Oh Erica. I love you. I've known you for so long. And yet it feels like everytime I look at you. I still see both the amazing best friend I had when I was younger. Yet also the beautiful young woman I fell in love with. Your beautiful personality. Your massive heart. And keeping a secret that you were not only my best friend. But my best friend online as well. You could almost say you were my online love. I know we never will drift apart from being friends. But I hope I never lose you. No matter where our lives take us.

Megan: "Everyone have theirs bags packed?"

Mitch: "I made sure to put mine and Lachy's in the boot already. Just have to wait for Luca to put his in. Erica your staying here aren't you?"

Erica: "Yeah. Our parents won't be home till next week."

Nathan: "It sucks your parent's won't be here for your graduation."

Megan: "We prepared ourself for the situation regardless."

Lachlan: "Hey Luca your stuff is packed up right?"

Luca: "Yeah why?"

Seth: "I'll go grab it now for you."

Luca: "I can grab it it's ok."

Seth: "Nah we would be late for the last day of school."

Seth had run off leaving us all.

Megan: "Am I the only one who feels bad for him? He has spent all his High School as an asshole. Bullying others and just being cruel. And yet in the last week. He has been the nicest and amazing person. I wish he wasn't alone."
