I lay on my bedroom floor playing on my I pod. It had been a whole 3 days since I saw Alex and he has been constantly trying to contact me. I feel kind of bad turning down all of his calls and deleting all of his emails. But if I do read them it would just make me feel guilty about turning him down. I furiously tap my I pod screen as I try to steer my car away from the edge of a cliff. Lame I know, a teenage girl playing on fake car games. Alone.

Right now my friends are probably out shopping in town or something...... Having fun... without me.... Louisa and Lucy hate me right now because I turned down Alex, they don't even know him but for some reason they didn't want me to "dump him". Suzii and Amelia on the other hand are busy raving to K-pop and One Direction at Suzii's house.

I swat an annoying fly out of the way. But of course I missed and I ended up hitting my hand against the wall. 'Oww!' I hissed as I rubbed my hand to try and numb the pain. The fly naturally then landed on my I pod. It was clear who was going to win this battle... The fly. Not me, but thanks anyway..... If you thought I was going to win.....

**10 minutes later**

It felt like the fly's spirit was flying around the room. See what I did there? Maybe not... Anyway I finally managed to, umm, dispose of the fly. Honestly I didn't want to kill it, I swear. But I accidently did. Sorry fly...

My phones vibrates, I pick it up and unlock it. Suzii had posted a picture of her and Amelia raving in her room. They look they are having so much fun, good for them. I lock my phone and stuff it far down in my bag as possible. I then flung myself onto the floor. That is where I stayed for most of the week. On the floor. On my own.

That is how it was for every summer holiday, until 2018. When my life made a change for the better, and worse.

**The last day of school, 2018**

'School's out forever!' we all screamed as we ran down a luscious green hill, all holding hands and smiling widely. As we collapsed on the floor in a fit of giggles the reality sunk in. We would all leave school and go our totally separate ways. The reality is we would never really see each over again. The laughter stopped and we all got up, and most of us started to cry out eyes out. Maybe it was the pollen, maybe it was the whole situation. Maybe it was the fact that we had spent the past 7 years with the people that we like the most, and now we would never see each over.....

'I am really gonna miss you guys.....' I tried to smile but tears kept on falling instead. 'I'll miss you more!' Louisa cried, now everyone was crying and we could barely speak or even bare to look at one another. It was the same where ever you looked. Groups of sixth formers crying and sobbing in groups of around 10.

Even some of the teachers were crying (probably because they would be glad to get rid of us!)

But I didn't pay any attention to them. I was too busy handing out little torn pieces of paper with my contact details on, and collecting everyone else's. Most of us would either have a gap year or go to university. But some of us are going straight into employment.

Amelia still LOVES K-pop and her dream is to one day meet her absolute favourite singer, Zelo. That is why she is taking a gap year and spending it over in Korea. After that she says she wants to become an advertiser for Korean products as she loves them to pieces. I think about this as I hug her goodbye.

Lucy is going to Oxford University to study English Literature and other stuff like that, I'm not fully sure what she is studying...... But she says that one day she wants to become a famous author, just like J.K Rowling (her inspiration)  I think about this as I hug her goodbye.

As for Lottie, well Lottie has always wanted to become an actress, and she has gone on to study drama and Lottie has been offered a role in a new musical. I think of this as I hug her goodbye.

Abigail, well, she isn't exactly sure what she wants to be yet, and fair enough you don't have to decide just yet. So she is going with Amelia to Korea while she thinks of her career options. I think of this as I hug her goodbye.

Flower is going to study at Cambridge University as she really wants to become a TV presenter on a children's TV show. I think of this as I hug her goodbye.

Louisa has been offered a job as a hair stylist and so she is going straight into employment. I am really happy for her. And I know she will be a great hair stylist. But she was offered a job in France. I think of this as I hug her goodbye.

And finally, Suzii. Of course Suzii still has an obsession with One Direction, but a fraction of what it was 6 years ago. But luckily for her she is now friends with a close friend of them, So she has been allowed to go and have a back stage tour with them. She couldn't stop screaming for weeks and weeks. But now she is as quiet as a mouse. I think of this as I hug her goodbye.

What about you? You are probably asking, well you remember that completion I entered years ago, that dress I designed. Well, the company remembered me and thought I had something special. So they want to call me in for a job interview next week. So I have been busy making and designing many dresses and preparing my speech. So fingers crossed I get the job.....

Everyone had dissipated, by now I was the only one left at the bottom of that hill. In my hands a number of bags of work, presents and contact numbers. There were too many bags for me to carry really. But that wasn't what was on my mind. Everyone I was friends with were moving away, to different far away places. I was the only one staying where I was. I was always the one that was left behind......
