Forgetting the past.
Hi there, im Avril Simpson. I'm 17, and in my final years of high school, here at Harvard-West lake. Now first things first, im not rich in anyway, neither is my mother. We just happen to live with the Gyllenhaal's, My mother and Naomi meet at college and when my mom and dad split up, they took us in. Their pretty cool really, Stephen offered to pay for me to the same school as Maggie and Jake. The only thing was that was 5 years ago, and my mom showed no signs of us moving on. Maggie and Jake were starting to make a name for themselves while i was stuck at a school that i hated, and the feeling was the same from all at school. The only friends i had were the ones i had from work, Laura, Meg, and Vanessa. We worked at a clothing shop in the mall, the money wasn't amazing but it helped pay for my holiday to go see my dad in London. I most likely sound like some brat who has everything that a normal girl would wish for. But i dont. The wealth was ours, the houses wasn't ours, the cars wasn't ours, and not even the school fees where payed by my own parents. And nothing annoyed me more.
" Avril, it's time for school, if you want a ride, get your butt into gear!" I heard Jake shouting on the last day of school before Christmas break. I was busy brushing my teeth as Madonna played on the radio.
" Avril!" He shouted again.
" OK! Jake, ill be down in 5!" i shouted out of my door.
" So your finally ready to go?" He asked grabbing his book bag and a piece of fruit.
" I was working till 11 last night and i had a ton of homework for English, and i wasn't up that late" I argued back. The thing about me and Jake is that we love to fight, we can be best friends one second and hate each other the next. Our parents couldn't keep up and sometimes neither can we.
" i cant drive you home tonight, im heading to Jessica's for dinner." He told me as we parked up in the car park.
" That's ok, ill get the bus, im working again tonight anyway.." I said as we walked up to the entrance together, time to go our own way.
" Right will see you later..." He told me, not even looking back as he walked off down the hall to meet his friends. For me, it was the library to get caught up in my latest novel.
Sarah wondered along the beach thinking about Luke. He completed her, she thought of all the times they made love...
The chapter began, my love for romance was my biggest serect, but as long as it was a serect, who cared. After a half hour read it was time for my English lesson, the only one i had with Jake. I pushed my book back into my book bag and wondered off down the hall.
" Hi Avril" Jake greeted me as we meet at the door.
" hey..." Was all i could say to him before he went to sit with his girlfriend Jessica.
" Good morning class, please take your seats and get out your copy of the great gatsby. Is there a problem miss Simpson?" Our English teacher, Mr Hoodson asked me as i searched my bag.
" Ive forget my copy..." i came to the conclusion, i must of picked up the wrong book this morning as i had a copy of hamlet.
" Mr Gyllenhaal can you make sure that Miss Simpson collect the correct book for our next lesson. Can you please share with someone near by...Now, i trust we all have our assignments..." I turned and saw a very humored Jake laughing at my mistake.
" You can share with me..." The class geek, lucas told me as i turned back. How he would pay for that when we got home...
