Summer dreams. Sequel to "Christmas Wishes"
Chapter 1 Boarding school.
"Now, please read chapter eight in your textbook for the remainder of the class." My teacher instructed us as she plopped down in her seat. The students around me boringly opened their dull brown books, flipping open to chapter eight as instructed. A girl with short black hair flashed me a smile and winked before starting to read through the chapter. With a small smile on my lips, I opened my textbook, like everyone else, and started to read the chapter. I couldn't help but think about the trip next week.
Next week, summer vacation would start and my friend Xion and I would be going camping with a few other of my friends. After working feverishly all year in Paris, I couldn't wait for a break. I mean, yeah it's really nice here. There's plenty of places to shop and the dormitories are super nice, but the works also really advanced. If you do poorly, you could get kicked out. Meaning half of the time we weren't in class or sleeping, we were studying, usually late into the night. A break was something we all needed after all the stress, but after all, who said seventh grade was easy?
A bell echoed throughout the class and I gathered up my belongings. With all my stuff in a chic black bag slung over my shoulder, I exited my class with Xion by my side. "Are you already for the trip, Rox?" She asked me for the umpteenth time today. I gave her a causal yes and nodded, amused by her enthusiasm. We reached the top of the steps where two hallways emerged. Xion headed towards the left while I headed towards the right to the boy dormitories.
I made my way into my room and placed by stuff on the side table next to my bed. My roommate Emerson looked up as I walked in, a smile present on his handsome face. I've always liked Emerson ; he was always so easy to be around. His hair was a dark brown that matched his eyes. Unlike my skin, which was very pale, he looked like he was kissed by the sun from all the sports he played all semester.
"Back from class already, Roxas?" He said, closing the magazine he was carelessly flipping through. "Yeah… all we did was review sections in our textbooks." I replied with a shrug, blonde hair falling in front of my dark cerulean eyes. Honestly, I didn't understand why we're reviewing chapters. We already took the midterms last week, which I aced by the way. Another reason why I had to tutor Emerson all week. My scores were one of the best in the country so he begged me for three days straight to help him. Try hearing him whine at you while you're trying to study or sleep. Not the best few days of my life, I'll tell you that.
"So where are you going over break?" Emerson asked me as I took a seat on the white plush couch we shared. "Camping." I told him, and to my surprise, burst into a fit of laughter. "What's so funny. Em?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at him. "Oh… nothing… nothing…." He replied, trying to control his laughing. Was he implying that I couldn't handle going camping? I mean, yeah, it's not my ideal place, but that's where Axel's going to be and even if hell freezes over, it won't stop me from seeing him. My heart started fluttering in my chest at the thought of him. I haven't seen him since last Christmas, but it felt more like a thousand years. My eyes drifted down to the pearl ring on my petite pale hand. I felt my cheeks flush. We weren't like anything official, but he's the love of my life. Not like I'd tell him that of course.
