The bus ride to school took longer than imagined all I wanted to do was talk to Eli about the kiss. I got off the bus and I quickly walked around the front entrance frantically looking for Eli. I noticed Adam walking with his brother and his other friends and Imogen and Emma walking with them.
I ran up to them and push through the middle of them and say “Have you seen Eli?”
Imogen said “All you talk about is Eli, the whole holidays was texting us all about you and Eli.”
“Well I’m dying to see him now….” I reply.
“Well you not melting” Adam commented to me.
I gave him a smile and jokingly punched Adam on the shoulder and asked again “Have you seen Eli anywhere?”
They all shake their head not knowing where he is. I walk to my locker quickly thinking Eli will greet me with a kiss at my locker but he wasn’t their either. I got my books out and tidied my locker up and I ran to Eli’s locker area but he wasn’t their either. With only 5 minutes till the whole school assemble I sprinted to the Drama rooms and I checked all the rooms and the theatre but Eli wasn’t their either. Just as arrived back at my locker from walking back the bell went.
Everyone piled into the hall and we watched as the principle said his greeting speech. The whole time I looked down into my lap in silence and sadness. Just as the principle is announcing no school uniform is to be worn anymore I look to the right of me and I notice Eli leaning against a wall smiling in joy and celebrating with his friend. My eyes started to twinkle when looking at him and my heart started to melt looking at him. My love for him was so strong.
After it finished I stood and pretended that I didn’t notice him and I slowly walked past him. I felt a pull on my arm and I gave myself a short grin knowing it was Eli. As I turned around I was about to fall onto him to give him a kiss but luckily I opened my eyes and it was Imogen who pulled me around. I saw Eli walking off with some friend to his next class. Imogen started talking to me and celebrating that the school uniform is over. I go along with her but really all I could think of was Eli.
I check my diary on my new timetable, I can’t believe it I’m finally a senior student. I check it and I had to go to my Art class. During the whole of art class I kept on thinking about Eli and only him, I wasn’t even writing down my work.
It came to break and I sat down with Imogen and Emma at our usual spot. Adam approached and said “Well…. welcome to Year 11!”
We all smile and high five each other and start to eat. I finish chewing a bit of my apple and I stand up and say “Let’s do something different this year. I’m thinking of finding a new place to sit, this place brings back bad memories.”
They look at me confused and I continue to say “This area is for the Year 10’s and were in senior years now we should be at the back near the garden area.”
We all stand up and head to back courtyard. I look to the left and right of me looking at all the people sitting in their areas. The hipsters were sitting at the graffiti bench, the ‘nerds, were sitting near the steps to go into the school because they always make a sprint to class, the singers were standing up anywhere, and the rest just sat where ever. I noticed that the garden area were Eli and I used to talk wasn’t taken. I sit down and the rest follow.
“Now this place will create better memories” I say.
The smile and Imogen answers me “Well I hope this year will be better than the last.”
The bell had went and I walked to my locker as I approached I noticed that everyone’s locker in the hallway had paper stuck to them. I got to my locker and ripped off the note and read it. The note said ‘Celebration Party at House at 8.00pm till whenever!’ all I thought was bad news but I should go because I’ve always wanted to go to a big party and that we can celebrate that the ugly, itchy school uniform is gone!
The end of the day school bell rung and I quickly ran to the bus stop to catch the early bus home to do my stacks of homework quickly to go to the party. I finished my Art, Math and Science homework and I told my brother I was going to a party and that I would be home later. I put on my red tight top with black skirt and a deep sea blue jacket on top with red heels. I put on my party styled make-up I straightened my hair and put it in a high ponytail. I walked to Matthew’s house because he lived around the corner to my apartment. I saw the beaming lights and people outside on the footpath all drunk. It was like walking into a jungle. I stepped into his mansion house and the music was blaring. There was some many drinks and food everywhere. He even had his own personal DJ.
I looked around the place for Eli but Imogen had pulled me into the middle of the room and danced. My feet started to hurt and my stomach was filled up on junk food and luckily I avoided alcohol because some people went overboard on the alcohol. After 2 hours of dancing I noticed Eli sitting outside on a bench alone. It was my only chance to talk to Eli again. I headed towards the door. I opened it and Eli looked up to me and gave me a smile. I closed the door and locked so that only Eli and I could get in or out.
I asked Eli “Why haven’t you asked me about the kiss?”
He looked down and looked back into my eyes and answered me “You kissed me when there were twinkly lights, meaning I was leaving.”
“Well it was the only time I could, but are you happy about the kiss or not?” I asked.
“Yes and No… yes because I really do love you still and I was able to kiss you again and no because I feel as if I’m going to hurt you again.” Eli replied.
“Eli I love you more than anything and I don’t believe that you would hurt me again because I trust in you, and if you want me back I want to know if you’re all in.” I answer Eli and sit down next to him.
He looks at me and shuffles more to me and says to me “Of course I’m all in and I will never go against our love ever again, were forever and always.”
I smile and he brushed a lock of hair out of my face and gently held the side of my face and leans into me. His kiss was strong but romantic it made a solid confirmation that Eli and I are together again...
