                     "Sorcha come on hurry up" Richard said from the bottom of the stairs. " Yeah yeah give me a minute, I just need to put on some make up" I said which was followed by several groans. "You don't need any, plus you've taken so long already" someone calls from the bottom of the stairs " I've only been getting ready for ten minutes , most girls take an hour so shut up and yeah I do need it so shut it" before I had a chance to put on my make up I was thrown over someone's shoulder.

                    "Put me down" I yell and start banging their back. I hear laughing as I'm brought down the stairs ."Alright  I got her so lets go". we walk out to the car, well they walked while I was carried. Brendan throws me into the car and gets in after me followed by Michael while Richard gets in the drivers seat and Jake gets in the passenger seat. "am lads where am I supposed to sit?" Seamus asks looking in the car. Next thing I know I'm being lifted up and placed on someone's lap. I look over my shoulder and see Brendan's blue eyes. "There you go Seamus" he says . Seamus gets in and then we're off to where ever they are talking me. "Where are we going anyway?" I ask them suspiciously. Richard looks back at me in the review mirror with his chocolate brown eyes but doesn't say anything neither did the rest of them. I look at jake knowing he would tell me but I was wrong, he just looked out the window with a smirk on his face.

                          We arrive at the park twenty minutes later. I ask them what we are doing there but they don't reply, they only tell me to put on a blindfold. Two minutes later I'm allowed to take it off and I'm happy with what I see. Its all my friends from school. When I see the girls I run over and I'm enveloped in a group hug. I pull away after a minute and look at everyone "what are ye doin' here?" I ask them all. "Did you really think that we would let you go without a proper good bye" Michael says with a smirk. "Aww thanks lads" I reply.

                          The rest of the day is spent remembering all the times we hung out, the discos we went to and the craic that we had, as well as a quick stop to Supermac's for a bite to eat. I was sad that I would be leaving them all behind but I have no choice. I look around at all the people that were here and smile at all the friends that I have made in secondary school. I look over my shoulder to the sun, or at least where it should be, "Shit" I say, and look at the lads "we better get going" I say to them "Why , you don't leave 'till eight" Richard says in confusion, " yeah and its half seven now" "WHAT???" is shouted by several people. "we have to go now or else you'll be in trouble" "really do we have to go now I was going to stay here for another hour or two" I say while rolling my eyes." shut it and lets go" is the only reply I get. I give every one a hug and say goodbye and I start tearing up at the thought of not seeing them for a long time or ever again. "Is the great Sorcha crying" I hear from behind me "yeah I am because I'm looking at you" I reply sassily. Laughter and a series of 'ohhhhhhh's are heard from around me. I give everyone one last hug and get in the car to go home.

**************

                         When we reached home my parents were standing on the steps of the house looking both relived and annoyed. Relived because I was back but annoyed because I had nearly made us miss our flight. I gave everyone one last hug before stepping out of the car and up the steps to what I once called home. "hurry up and see if you forgot anything then get in the car so we leave" my dad says. I walk in the door and go up too my old room for the last time. I look around for the last time before going back down the stairs, looking around my child house home one last time before getting in the car to head off to a new country and house, yeah house, it will never be home I think looking back at the house one last time with a tear rolling down my cheek.

                         On the plane I was finding hard too sleep so I decided too look through the bag that the lads gave too me before I left. it was one of their school bags that everyone  had signed before, I unzipped it and looked inside. when I saw what was inside I gasped. there were pictures of us at discos, when we went to France, and times in school, there was also one of the lads hoodies my favourite at that. I smiled and started to root through it, at the bottom I found a card

"     Sorcha

good luck in whatever place your going, kitten

don't forget us

          - your best friends

P.s if you ever need help just give us a ring and 

don't let any lads get in you pants  :)"

                             I laugh at the last part, typical of them, I think as I read it,  oh well, I look out the window of the plane and down at the sea, good bye Ireland, is the last thing I thought as I fell asleep
