I'm Vivienne my friends call me Viv or Viviah. I'm eighteen years old and I live alone, since my parents left to work abroad.
This year is my last at highschool where i met my best friend Eloise when we were only first graders. We've been there for each other ever since, even though we are quite different.
I'm a very romantic girl and I'm pretty sure that I need a boy who will always love me from the day we met and that what makes me wait until the One. So as I said El and I are different, she's been together with her boyfriend for three long years now, and by that she always reminds me of how ridicoulus I am for believing in such illusions, but i really want to believe in the real love for first sight.
After the winter holiday i called Eloise to meet up and go out for the vegan cake shop.
"How was your holiday with your boyfriend and his family, El?"
"It was soo boring and busy at the same time. They all shouted to each other and talked about nonsence things and i was just sat there wondering about when can I come back. How was yours? Did your parents came home?"
"I wouldn't say boring to that, it is supposed to be like that. I can't remember when was the last Christmas when my parents and everyone was coming, no I haven't seen them, but they sent me presents."
So we talked about stuffs and about our families. But then she just hit me with the question I wasn't ready for..
"Viv...will you ever lose your virginity?"
"Whaat? What do you mean by that?"
"I mean that boy is really into you."
Seriously i was sitting there as she pointed behind me so I slowly turn back and i saw a boy who was kinda cute and he was smiling at us. I didn't know what to do. So i just smiled at myself and probably turned red.
"Thanks.." I said with some sarcasm in my voice.
"For what?" El asked.
"For telling me that I don't know who is that boy is so "into" me,. How can you even tell that? Just by the looks?" I got a little upset that she just wanted to sell me to an unknown Mr. Handsome...
"What's your problem? I'm just telling you."
"Ok so what? And what do you want me to do?"
"Noothing.. i'm sorry."
It was so awkward. She apologized but i was still a bit upset.
...
The school started the next day morning at 8:00. When I arrived El was not waiting for me at the enterance like she used to, so I just went in alone.
"Hey Viv. How are you? I really missed you." One of my classmates came hugged me like I went on a year tour..but they just probably all know now that I spent the Holiday quite alone. Since El is like the middle of school, she is like the main facebook page in here, she obviously posted something or in any other way she is talking, about last night we met.
"Well i'm fine. But i have to do many things right now so please let me go." I asked her nicely, it was a bit awkward but she let me go. And also I wasn't lying I have to study hard before the final exams. It's only a few months away.
Me and Eloise stayed at school every day after classes and we studied hard and learn the things we have to. The time forced us to learn even harder than before.
The spring came and brought some changes in our lives. We've been passing all of our exams but at what cost?! I was so worried about El because she was arguing non-stop with her boyfriend. She couldn't handle the stress that came along with the studies and the hours we've put in it. She and Damien-her boyfriend- just split up after a few months of non-talking-just-arguing. I saw her crying for hours and through nights at my place so one morning I decided to take her out for running. The weather is good the moving is good, so later we planned to go for a run every second day or at least once a week around the island not so far.
Loise and I were about to go out but obviously we -she needed to pick the perfect running dress.
