So here i was, after 1 year i was back. My life had changed dramatically in the past year, but as i looked around the vaguely familliar playground it became clear that everybody else's lives had remained the same. The populars were stood under they're normal shelter. I couldnt help but think that used to be me. The geeks were all getting excited about something in their normal corner. The lads came bouncing off the field after a pre-school football game and ran straight into the arms of their giggling girlfriends.
i tried to ignore the blatent stares and whispers. I get it, of course i get it i've been gone for a year and then i walk back in here. But i had nothing to be ashamed of, what i do with my life was no concern of theirs. Of course i didnt expect everything to carry on as normal, i was prepared for the stares and the comments. I had to be. As the bell rang signalling everybody to go to their form rooms i snapped out of my deep think and strolled to my form room, I came to the short corridor that led to my form, it was always dark due to fact the people in my form, who mixed from year 7's to 11's, turn the switch off everytime they walk past it. The fact that the light was off comforted me because it meant they hadn't changed at all. I reached the door and walked in, the door still made the same sqeaky noise, i was greeted by my form tutor Mr. Bradley.
'Hello Keysha, it's nice to see you back!' he smiled at me.
'Thank you' I managed quietly.
I walked over to my normal seat with the other year 11's, we'd all been in the form together since year 7, there were 5 boys, Harry, Zayn, Niall, Liam and Louis ,who was the leader of all of us but he was also there for any of us when and if we needed him, and then there was me and chelsea, We'd been best friends since year 4, she's been through everything with me, from when my mum died when i was 9 to what happened last year. i sat down and gave them all my normal cheeky smile and was relieved when they all did it back. Louis was first to speak,
'It's nice to have you back Keysha, its been so quiet round here without you, we've missed your ridiculously, over aggagerated laugh and your attitude with all the teachers' He winked at me.
I laughed and replied with 'Do you know what, i've missed you all too even you Zayn' Me and Zayn had never really seen eye to eye, but it didnt mean i wasnt there for him if he ever needed me and the same if i needed him. Sir handed me my new timetable and i gave it a quick look, just enough to see that i had business first. I was grateful that none of them had brought it up. The Bell rang and well all picked up our bags and left, Once we were back into that dark corridor Louis asked if he could have a word with me, I turned to Chelsea and told her to save me a seat in Business. I turned back to Louis and he pulled me in for a hug which i retured;
'Key' only he ever called me this 'if anyone says anything to you, im here yeah?' I nodded 'Good, dont take any shit from anyone because i wanna see the loud, cocky, bubbly keysha that left us a year ago back around school' I laughed, put my hands either side of his face and said;
'Lou, since when have i took shit from anyone, you know more than anyone, give it a week and we'll be in detention together' i let go of his face and walked out the small block our form was placed in with louis closely behind me, Louis and I never had any lessons together, he was in a higher band God knows why he's always getting screamed at by teachers and he praticually lives in detention and isolation. we had gone oppisite ways but i turned to look at him from across the playground and i heard him scream 'GOOD LUCK' at me which made me smile to myself. I walked up all four sets of stairs that led to my business class i took a deep breath and walked into the classroom...
