This is my first story. I haven't exactly decided where it is heading yet, just got a few scenes in my head so I'll be looking forward to seeing where this is going too. English is not my first language so I hope you forgive any spelling and grammar mistakes. Feel free to PM me you see any.
Well, without any further delay, I hope you enjoy the story.
Today is my first day as Junior. I stand to the side of the gate with my bag looking up at the school I have been attending for two years now. Two years. So much have happened in that time yet so little has changed. I know I should get to my room and unpack but I just can't bring myself to go any further. A part of me is telling me to turn around, walk away and never return. Ironically the same part is telling me to get my act together and get going. I take a deep breath and let it out. I can't run away so I might as well just go. I pick up my bag and start moving towards my dorm. Same dorm, same floor, same room as the last two years. It makes sense. It is just a lot more practical to keep us in the same rooms all four years so we can keep whatever we didn't need during the summer in our room. I walk into my room to find Virginia and Ellen are already there talking about their holyday it seems like. After Ellen chose to have her parents forget about her, Virginia's family has practically adopted her. Probably helps that Ellen and Donald are still together.
"Hey, Isla! Welcome back!" exclaims Virginia.
"Thanks," I say smiling at her obvious excitement.
They both get of the bed and we hug before we all get into how our holyday went. Apparently Donald and Ellen have been glued to each other a lot of the time and Virginia has been teasing them mercilessly.
"And the year has started great! No Grabby at the front gate to scare everyone and give out detention and demerits!" Virginia says with a big smile on her face. "Though pretty weird. I always thought he enjoyed scaring all the freshmen on the first day."
"Yeah, weird.." I say quietly, my good mood suddenly disappearing.
"Virginia!" Ellen says under her breath while elbowing Virginia.
Virginia, looking confused, looking first at Ellen, then at me before going "Oh. Sorry.."
"Don't worry about it. I'm fine."
I force a smile to make it more believable but it's obvious that neither of them are buying it. I had tried to hide it from them but of cause you can only hide so much when you are living together. We talk for a little longer before Ellen and Virginia decide to go looking for some of the other people they haven't seen all summer. I decide to stay behind and unpack. My mood is just not up for much socializing. It's really pathetic. I mean, it been more than 7 months for crying out loud! How can I still be affected like this? Instead of putting things in my closet properly it gets practically thrown in. When I'm done I throw myself on my bed and look up at the ceiling. I'm stronger than this. He's just a man! Though of cause he's the man who divorced me and has been avoiding me ever since. He barely even asks me anything in class and when he does his reluctance is palpable. Well excuse me for still existing! And everyone else seems to notice too. There have been some pretty nasty rumors because of it. So yeah, school has not been easy since the divorce. The divorce..
I get up from the bed in one sudden move. No way am I going to sit in here being all depressed! I head out with Donald's room as my goal. He is always fun to hang around and I've missed his happy nature.
