I was restless. My head wouldn't settle, mostly because I just had the largest explosion of thoughts erupt inside of me. Seeing two people I thought I would never see again, and then them dating.

Graduation Day, A Year ago
"Simon Minter," Ms. Smith chuckled as I was about to head outside, donning graduation gowns. I nodded and shuffled towards her. One more hour until I never have to see the lady again, I just needed to leave her on a good note, "I remember in 6th year, when you... were such a kind lad."
"Thank you," I say.
"I wish you stayed that way," she continued. I gave her a questioning look, "Why, you changed! Quite a lot. You neglected a week's worth of homework, and you're extremely intelligent. I do not understand. Those boys... Mr. Payne, Mr. Lewis, especially Mr. Olatunji. I can't believe you young men even meshed! I'm disappointed."
"I made it into the University of Edinburgh, Ms. Smith," I mumbled.
"You could've done even more! You're definitely Oxford material, Mr. Minter," I gave her a shocked look, "well, I'll leave you be. Good luck with your..... football."
I went all numb. Could I have been Oxford material? Was she right all that time? All those years ago when she told me my friends were trouble. Harry, I understood, but he changed quite a bit. He became understanding. Maybe JJ, but not so much either. It wasn't any of these people that changed me, it was the experiences I had with them. Some that resonated with me, still.
Callum Airey.

My eyes shut tight, and I focused on my breathing. Callum was a person of the past, and I didn't want that to change.
Hehe short XD
