aurora
that day consisted of happy memories. as i sit in class with the table of paints and a canvas with ethan beside me. art has brought back the past three months of my life to no longer be suppressed. time has significantly past since that saturday and the school year was coming to an end.
a month left until high school would be only be a chapter in our lives. thinking about this brings me such mixed emotions. those consisting of dejection for this part of my life and thrilling excitement to run through my bones for the future. time was such a big factor in my mind as of now. mostly because time has brought the feelings of infatuation of grayson to grow into love.
that time showed me how strong i could be to resist temptation and made me two and a half months clean from the bad. i could say i was utterly happy and it showed in the art i painted today. ethan and i stayed in hushed tones as we created and i knew it was because we appreciated that being in place when we painted. "are you going to the party today?" ethan asks me breaking the state of silence.
i shrug my shoulders in response still concentrating on my strokes of yellow colors on the canvas. "don't know, if i'm being honest. i would have to ask grayson. are you and viv going?" the party we discussed being today, on this friday.
i've been going less to the therapy sessions now and because of that i only have to be there five times a month. i've hit my quota on that and would be able to go if i desired to. however ethan nods and glances to me and then his project. "yeah, i think so. she was talking about it with mads and jack." he tells and i nod as well.
madeline and jack were in a new relationship after she attempted to keep the secret from us. i intended to give her a word of advice once i found out, don't keep such a big secret when you are the worst liar. yet i was surprised when i found out the secrecy lasted a month. "yeah then you guys are definitely going. you know how much mads and jack love a party." ethan grins agreeing with me.
however that class did not last long as the school day was soon over and i stood near my locker putting things away. as i do this i find hands to wrap around my waist and i immediately know of it being grayson. it makes me grow a smile and chuckle when he kisses my neck softly. i turn around to properly kiss the boy and he does back. "gross." i hear my best friend state and i pull apart and roll my eyes from her sarcastic remark.
"gross." i repeat and mock what she says in an annoying voice as vivian does the same thing until we get louder and louder. we soon stop and laugh from our actions as i close my locker and grayson takes my hand to be wrapped around his. i grin and as i was about to ask where vivian's boyfriend was he walks into the group with madeline and jack following.
"so everyone at the party at 10. got it?" madeline states and i scoff when crossing my arms to then let go of grayson's hand.
"what's that mean?" madeline questions with a little bit of sass and i was about to answer but grayson does it for me.
"aurora and i never said we were going?" madeline groans and removes jack's arm that was wrapped around her waist. she gets a little closer to me and frowns.
"come on, you have to! we aren't going to always be able to party like stupid high school kids. we only have a month left and i don't know about you guys but i want to live it as cliche as possible. besides all the parties are almost going to be done. think of it as an end of year hooray." she rants and gazing at her face makes me unable to actually resist telling her no. i groan and move to grayson to put my face to lean on his chest. it causes him to wrap an arm around me when i do.
"ugh, fine. we'll go, if that's okay with you though?" i then say to grayson and he nods already not caring.
"yay, i can feel this is going to be a good one!" she squeals and i roll my eyes when she does. we all knew the outcome of parties with the group. apparently alcohol, drunk teenagers, and us did not mesh well. however i will admit that we did have our share of good parties in the last three months. in fact, the one we went to two weeks ago was fun. i can have faith it does the same this time.
