Summer To September
Disclaimer: No, I don't own this and am making no money by writing it. Bleh…
Chapter One: Virgin
"Summer has come and passed,
The innocent can never last,
Wake me up,
When September ends…"
I felt the odd sensation of someone poking me. "Mph." I muttered angrily to whoever it was and turned over. "Jayde…" the person said. Oh god…why wouldn't they just leave me alone? I turned over to face the person and opened my eyes. Chelsea. I should have guessed. "What?"
"You were saying something in your sleep."
"So!"
"Well, you asked me to wake you up if you were talking in your sleep so no one would find out anything embarrassing."
"Oh yeah…" I rubbed my eyes tiredly. I bet I looked a mess. My hair was just to the length that if I slept on it, it would look like a giant, blonde, rat's nest in the morning. I stretched my arms above my head and yawned. "Ugh…"
"What was I saying?"
"Something about being a virgin."
"Then it must have been a nightmare." She smiled and I laughed.
I glanced at Chelsea. Of course she was awake and dressed…She had probably been up reading when I disturbed her with my talk…She glanced at me, her grey eyes staring over the tops of her glasses. "You look like shit." She observed dryly. I stuck my tongue out at her. Why did she have to look so comfortable? Sweat pants and a hooded sweater. She grinned. "Want to borrow one of my sweaters?"
"Sure…" I mumbled. She smiled and walked to her trunk. She opened it and I was astounded to notice how much messier than mine it was. Chelsea searched for a few minutes before resurfacing with an orange sweater, similar to hers, grasped in her hand. She balled it up and threw it at me. The orange ball flew at my head and hit me. Fortunately, it didn't hurt because, after all, it is just a sweater. "Mph." I said again and picked it up. I slipped it over my head. Mmm…Warm.
"Come on…" my friend said as she dashed down the stairs. I smiled faintly. Then I got a stick of gum from my bedside and stuck it in my mouth. Then, grabbing a brush and running it through my hair, I followed her. Just before I exited, I threw it back on the bed and finished descending the stairs.
I love Sundays. But I hate the beginning of school. This was the last free day before classes started. It was my last year at Hogwarts and I didn't know whether to be enthused or sad. The place was practically my home. It had been so nice in the summer. Free time, visiting friends, romances…I sat down on a chair and tucked my legs under me, hugging the crimson pillow to my chest. Sighing, I let my blue eyes stare at the fire as I thought back. Probably best summer I could remember. I had though that my time with Orion Breckon was just another fling, but then I had discovered that he was transferring from Durmstrang to Hogwarts. I hugged my pillow closer to me. This was going to be the best school-year ever.
As a mediocre student, I really didn't mind school all that much, once I got into the swing of things. I needed a few lays before I could really get into it. Aw, September was the worst. Chelsea, I knew, loved it because the weather was lovely, but I hated it. It was the readjusting month. It would be so much easier just to skip it all together…
"Wake me up,
When September ends…"
