It had been three months since I saw the guys. I missed them a lot. I texted them every single day. They were traveling all over the country and they told me all about it. It was fun to hear about their travels, but I was sad that I was stuck in school.
My graduation was coming up in a week and I was excited. I was so happy to leave this dump of a school. High school wasn't my forte and I just wanted to leave. There was a college in Auckland, New Zealand, that I wanted to go to. I didn't want to stay in America any longer than I needed to. I loved the United States, but I didn't want to live here. I wanted to go home, to Australia, though I loved New Zealand just as much. My parents used to take me there a bunch when I was younger and when we still lived in Australia. New Zealand was beautiful and a wonderful place.
The last bell rang. I got up from my desk and left the room. School was over and it was the last day for the seniors. I was happy as fuck.
As I walked down the hallway, I heard my phone ding. I checked my message. It was a message from Aaron and another one from Connor.
Dude, guess what? - Connor
Hey - Aaron
I answered both of them before leaving the school. I was finally free from school. Well, until I go to college. But I was glad. High school sucked ass.
I opened my car door and climbed in. I closed it behind me and turned on the car. I tossed my phone on the seat next to me and pulled out of my spot.
When I was pulling out of the back parking lot, I heard my phone ding. Since I was a good driver and it was against the law, I didn't touch it.
I pulled up to the street in front of my house, parking. I grabbed all my stuff and climbed out. I finally checked my messages.
WE'RE COMING FOR YOUR GRADUATION!!!!! - Connor
BRO!! WHEN ARE YOU COMING?? - Me
Tomorrow - Connor
We're coming back if Connor hasn't told you already - Aaron
There was a wide smile on my face as I walked into my house. My boys were coming back. I went to my contacts and got to Chloe.
The guys are coming back, so you know what that means 😉 - Me
I went to the kitchen and got a snack. I went to YouTube and started watching some horror videos. Chloe answered me, but I didn't get back to her immediately.
After I finished that video, I finally opened Chloe's message. I was distracted by my cat, Spork, jumping on the table. I picked him up and set him on the floor. I returned to my phone, finally looking at Chloe's text.
Ahhh I'm so excited!!! - Chloe
Do you know how long they're staying? - Chloe
No idea. But I'm sure I know exactly what Connor's gonna do when he gets here 😉 - Me
Haha, Cody so funny. When are they coming? - Chloe
Tomorrow. Since we don't have school, we can hang out all day - Me
Sounds good. See you then - Chloe
I started watching YouTube again. It didn't seem very long before Dad came home. He greeted me and kissed my head. I hummed in response as Dad went into the kitchen. He set his stuff down on the island in the kitchen.
"Did Mom tell you she's not going to be home until late?" Dad asked in Bulgarian.
"Yes," I answered in the same language.
