Gina took a deep breath and looked up from her texts with Astrid. This past summer had been a tough one, she knew she wasn't fully over Astrid but she also knew that she couldn't be in a long distance relationship. She was glad that Austin was there though, the boy had amazing intentions and he checked multiple times with Gina before he actually asked Astrid out.
She felt her phone vibrate one more time and saw that Giovanna had texted her. It was a short and simple text telling her to have an amazing day at her new school. Austin and her had facetimed the night before and he had already wished her the best. Gina smiled at the text before locking her phone and putting it in her back pocket. She fixed her jacket and got out of her mom's car.
She didn't give her mom a chance to say anything to her and quickly swung her bag over her shoulder and walked towards the East High entrance.
Funny how this high school was really once her childhood, and now it's going to be where she goes to school.
