Hey everyone,
How have all of you been lately? Guess what?!? It's school holidays and I passed grade 11 YES!!! Anyway here is chapter 9, I'm not sure how long it is, I got a sudden burst of inspiration and thought why not write another chapter for you lovely people. Also since it's school holidays updates should be a lot more regular, thats if I'm not working everyday.. Anyway sorry I'm kind of just rambling now.
Like always sorry for any mistakes I haven't proof read this one..

HADLEY’S POV
“Hadley wake up. Hadley? HADLEY!!!!”
“Huh? What? Who? Now?”
“Hadley you need to get up, you can’t miss school again today.”
“Ugh yes I can, now let me sleep.”
“No, get up. Now.”
THUMP.
“Ow Tyla what was that for?”
“Well I had to get you out of bed somehow, now get ready.
Well I had a great start to the morning. As you can see I’m so excited about going to school today. Sense the heavy sarcasm right there. I’m not sure why I’m so depressed I mean I do have other friends other than Ava it’s just a lot of them are also friends with Mason and I don’t really know where I stand with them right now. I guess I should probably find out sometime soon hey.
“You ready to go?” Tyla asks me as I walk downstairs. “I think I might actually catch the bus today, if that’s okay?..” “Um okay, why?” Tyla says in disbelief. “Well I have to try and get back into the swing of things right?” I say covering up the actual truth of why I want to catch the bus. “Rightio, if you say so.” Tyla says shaking his head slightly. I grab an apple, my bag and walk out the door shouting a bye to Tyla.
What was I thinking? Everybody is looking at me? Why did I not get Tyla to drop me off? Oh that’s right because I’m such a pussy that I can’t face walking past Mason and his little possie. Yep that’s right the reason I’m catching the bus is so I don’t have to see Mason because him and his friends sit near the entrance that Tyla drops me off. God I’m such a coward, it feels like all I have been doing lately is hiding from my problems.
“Um Excuse me are you going to move or just stand there?” An annoyed voice awakens me from my saddened thoughts. “Oh, um sorry…” “Wait, Hadley? Is that you?” The same voice says only much friendlier this time. “Uh… Sorry I don’t mean to be rude but do I know you?” I ask the boy standing in front of me. “It’s Joel.. We were friends in primary school?” “Oh my god!!! Joel, you look so different.” “Ahaha yeah time does do that to some people.” Joel says jokingly. “It sure does haha. Anyway what are you doing here I thought you moved to Melbourne or something?” I ask him as we walk to a seat on the bus. “Yeah I did but then my parents split up and I moved back here with my dad.” “Oh I’m sorry to hear that. But look at it this way now you get to spend everyday with me again.” I say trying to lighten the dampened mood. “Oh joy.” Joel says sarcastically and I playfully hit his shoulder. We chat a bit more and generally catch up before the bus pulls into our school.
“So is today your first day Joel?” “It sure is Hadley. Hey do you mind showing me around? I mean you don’t have to but I don’t really know where anything is.” “Of course, I shall give you the best school tour anyone has ever been on.” I say and Joel laughs at my stupidity. “Wait do you know what form class you’re in or anything?” I ask suddenly. “Nope, I know nothing.” “Okay lets get you to the office then.” I say leading him through the school to the front building. As the time goes on I find myself slightly forgetting about this mornings despair.
After finishing at the office I study Joel’s timetable to see what classes we have together. “Yay we have form, English, Maths and drama together.” “Ew does that mean I’ll basically be spending the whole day with you? “Feel privileged that you have once again been graced with my fabulous presence.” “You haven’t changed at all Hadley.” Joel tells me. “And is this a good thing?” “It’s fantastic, to know that something is still the same as it used to be.” “You’d actually be surprised at how I’ve changed.” I say but it comes out as a sigh. “What do you mean Hadds” Joel asks sensing my mood change. “Don’t worry, lets get to form.”
AVA’S POV
I wonder if she’ll be here today? It’s not like she can hide from me, we have four classes together. I need to speak to her, things are just going to get worse if I don’t. She needs to know that I was just upset and how bad I actually feel, she must be going through so much right now.
HADLEY’S POV
“Oooh look, little miss Hadley moved on quickly. I wonder what Mason thinks, oh wait he doesn’t care, he never did.” I hear Ali, the queen slut, snicker behind me and I can tell Joel heard it to. “Hadley what is she on about?” “Don’t worry about it just keep walking Joel.” I say and pull him away before he can hear anymore.
“Seriously Hadley, can you just tell me what’s going on?” Joel pleads after my long silence. I don’t know how to tell him without thinking I’m being petty and I can’t tell him the whole story, not now. “You’ll find out soon enough.” I say and we walk to English.
AVA’S POV
I sit in my seat with butterflies in my stomach. I’m not sure how I expect Hadley to act but I really hope she forgives me, we’re best friends. I sit waiting for about five minutes when I hear a familiar laugh come from the door. My head shoots up to see Hadley standing in the doorway with a boy, a very, very attractive looking boy. I have never seen this boy before, he must be new. Hadley walks the boy up to the front of the classroom and Mr Harries introduces him as Joel.. Hmm Joel, I will have to remember that.
Disappointment hits me like a rock when I see that Hadley and Joel pull out seats on the opposite side of the classroom to where I am sitting.
Seriously Ava, it’s not like you and Hadley are even speaking, what did you think she was going to do, the voice inside my head scolds me but I really don’t now what I was thinking.
HADLEY’S POV
School’s finally over and I can honestly say I didn’t hate today as much as I thought I was going to, that’s probably thanks to Joel. I forgot how close we were in primary school, like he said to me earlier, it’s nice to know something’s haven’t changed.
