New Beginnings

Confusement

Ollie and Jenny suddenly came bursting into our room with smiles on their faces

It had been a nearly a week since our trip to London, and the awkward moment of the whole of London listening to my thoughts and feelings sung in a tune by me and my best friend, and the fact that they liked it made it seem even less real by the mere second

It was nearly October break and we had exams all next week so we were all busy studying, well.. most of us

"Mads ! Soph ! Guess what we got !!" Jenny squealed excitedly, placing a page down on the table in the kitchen where we had breaked for a cuppa tea

I looked closely at the sheet to see a list of names, some sounding faintly familiar, and then I noticed a recognisable name ...

Alex Chanceford

My father

"This is a list of all the students in the final year of 1991" Ollie explained

I searched the list for my mother, but she wasn't there

Maddy had found both her parents as had Ollie, and Jenny had found her mother and once they recognised Lucas' parents I started to hesitate

"My mother didn't go to Wilton ..." I sighed

"Okay well do you know how your dad met your mom ?" Ollie asked sympathetically

I racked my brain for stories they'd told me but nothing came to mind except the stories my dad had told me about his time at Cambridge university

"Well guys you did great, and we will have to look into this a bit but right now we've got studying to do " I said, and Ollie left us to it while Jenny went to her room to begin

I studied until my head felt like it was going to explode when I heard a knock on the door

"Come in " I yelled

I swivelled my chair around to see Charlie peeking his head around the door

I smiled and ushered him in

"Hey how you holding up ? " he asked sympathetically

"Not too bad, I've studied everything I just have to go over some things, what about you ?" I asked

"Yeah I'm nearly done, Ollie told me about your mom ..." He said

I sighed and threw my pen at the wall

"I just don't get it !! All our parents went here except my mom, and even though so far we have no proof they were all friends, they were in the same year in college and they have all gone missing ... And I've been trying to piece it all together but there seems to be a 4 year gap between the year they graduated and the year we were all born - 1995 , so my dad must have met my mom in those four years, because I was born in France after my parents had gone to spend the summer out there as my mom was pregnant, but I don't know where they were living before, and they bought a new house in London for that autumn and we lived there until I was eight and they left me behind in France with my grandparents "I explained

"So we need to figure out what happened with our parents in those for years .." Charlie finished

"God this is confusing "

I laughed

"Yeah, anyways I came in to ask if you wanna come down to the studios with me for a bit ? I wanna do some recording and I em thought if you ..." He stuttered

"Do I want to record with you ?? " I finished

"Eh yeah .. If you want .. but you don't have to ! No pressure !" He said awkwardly
