Summer Solstice (ON HOLD) (Never to be finished)

Summer Solstice.

Prologue

You know there are those clichéd stories that always start up with a girl and a guy... guy dumps girl and the plot for revenge begins!

My story kind of started like that, boy dumped me, I settled with a bucket of ice-cream and plane ticket to an old town. Let me start of by saying, I was not your typical nerd, I was more with a little bit of bad luck and whole lot of clumsy. God created me like this probably:-

1) One ounce of nerd with glasses

2) Two ounces of sarcasm

3) Three ounces of a fiery temper

4) Three ounces of tallness

5) An addiction with caffeine

6) And a whole lot of clumsiness

Well, I always knew I was a bit different, not like weird psychotic different, but like a different mentality or like something apart from ordinary, maybe it was the clumsiness or the unexplained accidents, and I had a way of finding trouble.

Yes I kept my grades up and with it my dignity, you can call me a prude, (I believed in waiting for the right one) ... yes kill me!

One thing I could say for certain that this high school ending really did make a whole lot of difference, and I had one person to thank... Mister Lucas Kennedy.

For most of the part high school was pretty okay, I say okay because when you enter it as a chubby preteen you are always remembered as one, god those days, when the puberty truck hit me, it took away some fat and the rest I had to swim it off.

My school was exactly like you see, usually ... but I guess teens these days are more into stereotypes, not the ones who live on planet Tumblr aka my type of sane ones... but those who are usually way to influenced by commercial movies and TV shows.

Well we were divided and put into categories labels to be clear, the usual, I'm sure you know what they are so, I am cutting to the chase.

Well I was dating this guy, called Lucas Kennedy, Also called as Luke, yeah he was a total jock, but he was sweet. Well I actually looking back I think I was blind, but well you get the point.

He was everything I could ever ask for, but he wasn't witty, he wasn't that good with sarcasm, and well.... Ugh he wasn't exactly my dream guy, but he was easy on eyes and he was really sweet.

He made me laugh, yes cliché again. I hate clichés as much as you do. But I still fell for him.... HARD!

Everything was fine between us till graduation, cute texts, cheesy pet names and the lot. We went on a few dates and we become a couple after a while and carried on dating for a year. Shocking right?

Jocks usually had a commitment issue, don't get me wrong not putting on a stereotypically outlook but mostly they do. Oh don't come at me with daggers, just saying!

So Graduation, was something I was waiting for! Yes high school was a drag, I wanted to break freak and live like a free bird! In a small town Athens, Ohio. It was really possible to soar. So I wanted to chase my writing dreams in Princeton.

So when Graduation knocked on the door, I welcomed it with open arms!

That was my first mistake- That dreadful day.

You see, I came in second next to the valedictorian, so you think I didn't have to make a speech!

Wrong, it was a tradition of Richmond high. The first three candidates with the highest score ... give speeches.

After the collecting my Diploma, I got up and took on the world with my moving speech.

Okay it wasn't that great, I put it a few quotes by my favourite authors and cracked a few sarcastic jokes ... which usually people didn't laugh at, but today everybody was all smiles and giggles. By the end of my speech people were in tears of nostalgia, even though most hated the place, you couldn't get away from high school ever could you?

"Within a few years ... our high school stories will be a part of Mr Miller's class an ancient past... which we look upon with smiles on our face, so here's to the most exciting four years we spent here... wishing you'll good luck - This is me, your high school mate Lizzie Grey"

I ended my speech with those words and noticed a few tears sprung up in my eyes. I hated and yet loved this place. It was a turmoil of mixed emotions.

After the whole ceremony got over, we threw our hats in the air, jumping with them, we were free and infinite in that moment.

But didn't last long, now did it?

Cue the Entry of my high school sweetheart to ruin it. He kissed the top of my head as my parents took a picture of us.

"We need to talk" he murmured in my ear.

People get scared by that statement, but I didn't because I naively believed Luke, my Luke was different.

That was my second mistake.

Are you seeing the drift of the things now? Trouble always finds me.

A/N :- Hello my readers, I have edited the entire chapter and changed a billion things, to incorporate a twist which will be coming soon , yes the story is still the same following Lizzie's journey... just more real than before.

Earlier it was so monotoned, it wasn't really from the heart, like my heart was in it, don't get me wrong but the inspiration was kinda vague... that's what happens when you get a vague inspiration while swimming and then make a story line on a late night phone call with your friend.

Sorry to whoever loved the story, the way it was earlier, I hope you enjoy this version more.

Lots of Love - Kittykat
