I opened my eyes to the dull skylines of Britain at about four PM Monday morning, that's today. It was my dream to be here, in London, going to Oxford. My first choice was, of course, Harvard or Stanford, but after the band got into a huge fight over some little thing, that idea went down the drain. You know, I can't even remember what the fight was about. But, I do remember that it caused me to move myself, and my education, to England for a long time.
You see, we were all going to go to school in Boston, Massachusetts. Zack, Katie, Lawrence, Marta, and I had all gotten accepted into Harvard. The rest decided to go to the Boston Community College, and Dewey was going to move himself into Boston as well. It was all worked out, then, on Graduation day we got into a major disagreement. When it was all said and done, we went our separate ways. And that's how I got here. A very, very long way from where I should be at this very moment.
And as for the others? I think they went their separate ways as well, you know, going to their second choice of college. I have no idea what many of them had on their list, but I know they're now spanned out over the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe. Far away from me, which is all that matters right now.
So, here I am, in Britain, starting school a week from today. I've got every thing I need, but I still feel as though something is missing, something major. Ah, well, that's because something is, and I don't think I need to explain as to what that something is. I must say, I can't believe I'm finally here. It took me forever to even get my things packed, there were so many memories in everything I touched or even looked at. Then, getting on the plane and arriving was another thing.
Why, you ask? Well, I absolutely hate flying. It stems off the fact that I'm terrified of heights. Yes, that's right. I, Summer Hathaway, am scared of something. So, that's how it is. Now you got it, don't you?
"Well, here I am." I sighed and waved down a cab, I needed to get to Oxford for orientation. Hah, orientation… the last one I went to was for high school. I remember it like it was yesterday, that sounded corny I know, but I do.
I was dating Zack at the time, Katie was with Lawrence, and Freddy was with, well, everyone else. That's when times were great. The band was on their second record, and just got off their Euro-Asian tour. It was the best time of our lives. All of our lives. I mean, we had it going for us; we had "the life." Sure, it wasn't all beer and Skittles ™, but it was as good as any of us had ever experienced. And that, at the time, was all that mattered to us. Well, and getting our grades up to par.
Zack… yes, I loved him. Honestly, who wouldn't? The silky, shaggy, rough hair that came into his eyes just right; the pale as snow body that I would run my fingers over; those chocolate brown eyes that seemed to stare into your soul and reveal your deepest, darkest secret… he was perfect. He was in deep contrast to myself. Well, okay, not in deep contrast. I had long, silky, brown hair, pale skin that seemed to glow in the moonlight, and deep, brown eyes. I was lucky to have him, I really was. But we were on opposite sides of a very, at the time, meaningful argument.
So, here I am. The love of my life, as far as I know, attending Brigham Yong University in Salt Lake City, Utah. All of my friends scattered around the world, and stepping out of a taxi into a brand new world and way of life. I must adjust to this, for there's no turning back now. But, in time, I will find new friends and maybe, a new love.
:D
