Dear heart, why him? (#WATTYS2018)

Chapter 13

I slept through the night.

No nightmares.

 Thats a first in a very long time. 

Rolling out of bed i head straight for the bath and get ready for school. Todays the day that i meet Poppys parents. Todays the day i learn more about the mystery of Poppy Rose.  I can only hope things go to plan. 

I've been thinking about how i would explain alison's story to the Roses and seek more infomation about their daughter. Maybe having someone who understands what they're going through will help. Maybe just maybe i will learn more about their son Mason who packed up and left. 

Heading down stairs i grab my bag and head to mine and Zacks favourite coffee shop. I have sod all in the fridge and i have a little bit of time before school. 

On my way i cant help thinking about what im going to order. Cheese and ham croissant? Oh no it has to be a bacon roll! Wait no, an almond croissant. Yep thats it, with a big cup of tea. 

Oh i am beyond excited! 

Locking my bike up i rush straight into the coffee shop.

The que isn't too big but this is the busiest i've ever seen this place. Its definitely a popular place for breakfast. 

From Work men in suits grabbing their coffees to bussiness woman grabbing an order for their bosses and colleagues. 

Reaching the front of the que i quickly order my lovely breakfast and wait all of 2 minutes for it. Not being able to wait any longer i dig straight into my almond croissant. Within 2 big bites its gone. 

I dont mess about when it comes to food. 

Leaving the shop i head towards my bike and finish off my tea. 

Arriving at school i quickly lock my bike up and head inside. My aim for today is to avoid everyone but Zack like i always do. Cannot be dealing with Jessica and her petty drama. 

Major eye roll. 

I swear one day my eyes will get stuck at the back of my head. 

My dad always used to say "Nora you keep doing that and them pretty blues of yours will be stuck in the back of your head" 

Terrified me. I mean who tells a 6 year old that? 

Not that it stop me. 

"Nora!" 

Turning around i see Zack pushing past students. 

"God there's nothing i hate more than crowded hallways" 

"Good morning to you too" I reply shaking my head. 

If you cant tell Zack doesn't like crowds, then again neither do i. 

"I don't understand why they all just stand around chatting about pointless crap. I mean you saw each other yesterday what could've possibly happened within that timeline of not being together?" 

Looking at him i see how annoying things like this gets him. 

He's got a huge frown on his handsome face and shaking his head slightly.

Before i can try and bring his mood around the bell sounds, letting everyone know that chatting is no longer. 

Get to class. 

Sighing i tell Zack i'll meet him at lunch and head to my first class of the day. 

Maths. 

Ugh.
