Thoughts spiral through my head as I stare at my ceiling. I haven't done anything these school holidays. I haven't talked to one friend or written one word of my homework. School starts in two weeks and I'm not prepared, at all. And, he's not here.

I get up and walk over to my desk. I decide to start my English essay.

"Troye!" My mum calls from downstairs, "There's someone here that you might want to see!"

I stand up, confused. Who would it be? None of my friends have tried contacted me at all these holidays. I walk slowly down the stairs and see the back of a figure sitting on the couch. They must've heard me coming because they turn around.

"Jacob," I yell as he stands up and I run into his arms. "I've missed you so much!"

"I've missed you too, Troye."

I see the concern in his eyes. Then I remember that he wasn't meant to be back from England for another two weeks. "How come you're back so early?"

He looks uncomfortable. "I'll tell you later."

My mum senses the tension. "You boys must have a lot to catch up on. How about you go upstairs and I'll start making some afternoon tea."

I smile gratefully at her. "That would be great, thanks Mum." We walk up the stairs and into my room.
