She stood outside the building, waiting. It had been two years since she saw them. Two years since her parents forced her to go to school in London. They thought it would be a great opportunity to jumpstart her career to be a fashion designer. But she was only fourteen, who uproots their child from the world she knows and people she loves to send her alone to a foreign world? Her parents, of course.
It was devastating leaving. Those boys in that building were her best friends. They were always letting her sing with them, or giving her praise on her designs. Ever since her brother started attending, it was almost as if she did too, always being there after school and on weekends. It was her getaway attraction, somewhere that people loved her for who she was, and didn't try to change her.
She was ripped from her thoughts when the big doors opened behind her, a familiar voice filling her ears. "Still wearing those colorful shoes I see," the voice teased, a hint of shock seeping through. She turned around, a smile instantly gracing her face. Standing in front of her in all his uniform glory, was her best friend, Nick.
Nick was the first person met when moving in Blaine all those years ago. He had been walking by, and stopped to help carry all his crap up. She joked about Dalton looking like Hogwarts, he complimented her colorful clothes. Thus started a beautiful friendship. Even though she only knew them for a year, it was hard to part with him. They had written and skyped whenever possible, but seeing him in the flesh was better than a fuzzy camera picture.
With a grin still plastered on her face, she walked up the steps, stopping in front o him. "Well, it only seemed fitting, considering they were a going away present from you guys," she laughed, glancing down at her neon sneakers. "You going to invite me in or let me freeze to death?" She moved to sneak around him, but her movements were halted. He had shot his hand out, grabbing her wrist lightly. Turning around, she looked at him with a questioning stare. He laughed, stretching out his arms. "You forgot payment." With a roll of her eyes she grinned, stepping into his embrace. "I've missed you so much, Nicky." She mumbled, closing her eyes. She felt his chest heave, a sigh being released before words followed. "I've missed you too, Rosey. More than anything."
