First day of school! It was good to be back! The sound of kids screaming and bells ringing set my heart pounding. I walked towards my first class of the day, thoughts pounding through my head – will he be here? Does he still love me? Does he like someone else? – So many questions I was just dying to ask him!
I made my way into the crowded classroom and found my assigned seat, I silently searched the classroom, for him or his name at his desk, but I didn’t find anything. I sighed mentally – he won’t be here, I thought to myself. Why do I even bother looking? He said he wouldn’t come back. But I knew why I searched, hope – just a little – burned within me - but reality was trying it’s very hardest to extinguish the flame.
As the first bell of the day, signalled ‘break time’, I stood up and walked outside. It had been 3hours since the beginning of first period and he still wasn’t here. Well it wasn’t like I didn’t know, I thought, I always knew he wouldn’t be back for me.
I dragged my feet to my next classroom, in a state of doom when I saw another pair of shoes join my own. I literally sighed with relief – my best friend Kasey, just when I needed her!
“He didn’t come.” I droned as I looked up to find my best friend. I was extremely scared to look up and find not my best friend, but my worst enemy standing next to me.
“Who didn’t come, Maddy?” Sugar said, all sugar and honey voice, but I could see that evil grin on her face. What was she up to?
I didn’t answer, so she gave up and walked away. Maybe she was just being kind, Mad, my heart told me, but I knew better that She had a plan. Just what was it?
Finally it was the end of school. My perspective of school had changed in just a few hours, from fantastic to treacherous. As i walked out the school gates, I saw a boy get out of a car and open the passenger door. I looked up and watched Sugar walk to the car and the boy. It was only then i noticed the boy was him.
“Jason!!” i screamed. But he walked straight past me like i was nothing, like our whole summer was nothing. He got in the car and turned on the engine. They stayed long enough for me to notice their kiss. I was just about shout out to Sugar, when they drove off. Gone. He was gone. I was gone. The moment had passed.
