Leaving an Old Friend Behind

Last Day of School

"Beep! Beep! Beep!" screamed my alarm clock at 6 am. Luckily it is the last day of school. Only 8 more hours of torture until I am officially a freshman in high school!

I climbed out of bed and jumped onto my carpeted floor. My room is mostly all blue and purple which are my two favorite colors of all time of course.

I picked out my outfit for school and walked over to the bathroom which was being occupied by my annoying older brother. "You know it is my turn in the bathroom," I told him.

"Yea, well, who's older," he spoke back trying to convince me that he deserved the bathroom all to himself.

"That makes no sense, not even one bit of it. James, you may be older than me by two years but I do have more common sense in my hand that you have in your entire body," I said.

"Fine, you can use the bathroom, I was done anyway," he said while putting his toothbrush away.

When I walked into the bathroom the first thing I did was slam the door in my brother's face. He obviously was not surprised that I did that. I slipped off my pajamas and hopped into the warm shower. I got my creamy white skin all wet and washed my hair with my favorite shampoo that smells just like strawberries.

After the shower I put on one of my favorite outfits that I wear only on special occasions and today is one of those days. The outfit includes blue shorts, my ombre tank top that goes from blue on the top to white on the bottom, and also my black converse. I pulled my beach blonde hair into a messy bun and now I am ready for school.

I pranced down from the second to the first floor to find my mom sitting at the kitchen table reading today's newspaper. I am hoping that I can sneak out without her noticing me. This was not the case today because she saw me from the corner of her eye and said,"Have a nice day sweetie."

"Ok, just let me leave," I said clearly annoyed at my mom.

"Cassidy, just listen to your mom, she is just wishing you a nice day," said my dad walking into the kitchen from the living room.

"I know she is, I just wanted to get to school early today," I said truthfully.

"Well that's a change," my mom said surprised at my statement. "Usually I have to drag you out of bed to just get you awake," she said making fun of me.

"Yea, well, today is my last day as a middle schooler and Megan is arriving at school early too," I spoke trying to end the conversation early. Megan has been my best friend since we met in 1st grade and we have probably done almost everything together, we are practically sisters. After we finish 8th grade at St. Mary's Catholic School we will go to Maple Creek High School. We are going to a new high school because St. Mary's only goes up to the 8th grade, after that all my classmates and I will go to different high schools. Megan and I will take on our days of high school together.

"Goodbye then," both my parents said in unison.

"Goodbye soggy waffle," said my brother trying to make me hate him even more than I already do.

"Love you too smelly sock," I said using my favorite name for him.

I walked out of my house and grabbed my purple bike which was on the side of the house. I began to ride my bike when my phone started to buzz. It was Megan texting me to tell me to get to school as quick as I can. I wonder what is wrong since everything seemed fine yesterday at school. I quickly rode my bike over to school, when I got there I parked my bike on the bike rack and ran over to Megan asking her,"Why did I have to ride my bike so quick to get here?"

"Because I need to tell you important news!" Megan squeaked with excitement.

"Well what is the news?" I asked her trying to get the information out of her.

"Ok, so you know Brandon, the guy you have a crush on," she spoke.

"Of course, ever since last year," I said waiting with anticipation of the information.

"Well his date for the 8th grade dance quit on him at the last minute, so he is free tonight!" She squeaked again.

"No way, this is the best day of my life thus far!" I screamed, luckily for me no one heard me other than Megan.

"Yes, he now might ask you to dance with him tonight," she spoke obviously joyful of what might become of tonight.

"Let's hope," I said while praying in my head. Megan and I walked into the school building with our backpacks on our backs ready for this day to end.

We both walked into French class together which would probably have to be my most boring class in my whole schedule. The only thing that makes it just a little bit better would be of course Megan but also my crush Brandon is in my class. He is super gorgeous with brown locks that sweep across his face perfectly. His magnificent dark brown eyes sparkle when any type of light hits them and his cheek bones, I shouldn't get started on his cheek bones, it would take me over 20 minutes just describing how amazing they are. Brandon is not just handsome on the outside, he has an awesome personality too. He loves to be with his family, he is athletic, an amazing cook, and he enjoys to watch Disney movies which are my favorite.

I didn't even listen to the class since I was daydreaming about Brandon and his loveliness. I didn't even notice the class ended until Megan walked up to me and said that the class was done.

I asked,"Did Brandon notice that I was daydreaming?"

"I don't think anyone did except me. By the way, what were you dreaming about?" She asked me curiously.

"Oh, just Brandon as usual," I responded back to her.

The rest of the day went pretty fast other than French. At lunch I saw Brandon staring at me for a whole minute. During that minute I had butterflies flying through my whole body. It felt like I was floating on a cloud.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Summer!!!!!!" I screamed when my math class ended. I wasn't the only one screaming though, all my other classmates in math joined me in this excitement. It is finally summer, I am hoping that it will last forever because I really don't want to go to high school.
