Dear Mom,
I miss you so much! I am starting my senior year tomorrow and I am feeling so many emotions. Excitement, Nervous, Scared. But I am more excited than all of the others because 1. It's my last year of High School, and 2. I get to spend it with my best friend!
But how are you? I wish I could say more but I have to start getting ready for tomorrow but I hope you're doing well!
Love,
Ally.
Send. I sigh before going in my closet and looking through everything in hopes of finding an outfit for the first day of school.
I get taken away from looking when my dad calls me downstairs for dinner. I walk downstairs and sit down across from him at the table.
It's just me and my dad. It has been for about 6 months now. As in 6 months since my parents got a divorce because my mom cheated on my dad. It's been really tough, especially on me. I was really angry with her so I told her I never wanted to speak to her again and 6 months later, still nothing.
I'm Ally Dawson, 17 years old, girl. In case you were wondering.
"So are you excited for school?" My dad asks.
"Yep," I say with a smile. "I'm excited to get back into the swing of things. I mean of course I don't want summer to end but it's only for 9 months."
"Yeah well I just want you to have the best last year of high school." My dad smiles before grabbing our plates and washing them.
I walk upstairs and get ready for bed before sleep takes over and darkness comes.
I wake up to the sound of my alarm. I quickly press snooze before I see the time, 7:00. I quickly go in the bathroom and turn on my curling iron before I go back to my closet and resume on looking for an outfit to wear. I decide on a white T-shirt and a navy blue skater skirt with white anchors and my white flip flops. I go in the bathroom, quickly doing my hair one by one each curl. I put on my outfit and grab my brown bag and head downstairs.
"Bye dad!" I yell already halfway out the door. I hear a faint bye before I get in my car and make my way to school.
I get there and it's already as busy as can be. I smile giddily before I park my car and walk inside.
Senior year starts now.
I walk inside and head to my locker carefully putting in my combination before I look at all of my books, organized of course. I see Trish walking over to me. "Trish!" I hug her. "How was your summer?"
"It was amazing! How about you? Have you seen Austin yet?" She asks.
Austin is my best friend in the entire world. I've known him since I was 4 and we've been close ever since. I didn't get to hang out with him all summer because he was at football camp so I'm really anxious to see him.
I hear some whoops and l, with half of everyone else in the hallway, turn their heads to look at who's causing the ruckus. It's none other than Austin Moon.
I chuckle and turn back around to grab my books when I feel someone grab my hand and pull me into them. "I'm gone two months and you already don't want to be seen with me? Damn Dawson." he says before he wraps his arms around my waist and I wrap mine around his neck.
"I've missed you so much." he whispers against my neck.
"I've missed you too." I smile.
After a few seconds we pull away and smile at each other. Until my smile fades and I look at him worryingly..."Uh Austin..." I say.
"What- you're seriously not about to ruin the reunion moment are you?" he asks.
I wince. "I'm so about to ruin it. But, I have to get to class and unfortunately, it's upstairs so I really have to go," I say jerking my thumb back and walking backwards.
"Okay bye, but lunch time, it's me and you." he points at me and I just smile and make my way to class.
Lunch time, finally. My first three classes of the day were okay, but the first day of school is basically listening for 55 minutes so that's not really interesting. I put my books in my locker and grab my bag while making my way to my car. I look up and see Austin already there.
"Hey stranger." I tease.
We get in and make our way to a quick pizza place about 5 minutes away. We get a table and order our drinks before I catch Austin just staring at me.
"Hey, yoo hoo," I wave my hand in his face. "Yeah hey."
"Sorry I was just thinking." He says shaking his head.
"Thinking about what babe?" I say using the nickname I've called him since I was like 12.
"Just that it's our last year of high school. I still remember pre school." he smirks.
"Ah yes, the good old days of diapers and naps together." I laugh as our drinks come.
"Enough about the past, tell me how your summer was!"He asks with a certain twinkle in his hazel brown eyes.
"Uh, pretty boring. I went to the beach a lot, I
read, I talked to my dad-" I say before he speaks.
"Anything from your mom?" he asks.
I look down and shake my head. He stands up and grabs my hand to stand up and hugs me, wrapping his arms around my head. "I'm sorry Als. She'll come around, and if not, forget her. She doesn't even deserve someone like you." He says and we pull away.
"How do you always know what to say?" I ask, chuckling.
"Have you not eealized in your 13 years of knowing me that I'm kind of awesome?" He asks.
"Hm, nah. Must've slipped my mind." I tease.
He rolls his eyes and smiles. "I really missed you." I get this really weird feeling in my stomach. It's as if I feel, nauseous?
"Awe, I missed you too buddy." I say patting his head from across the table.
We talk more about our summers and it's the same as it was before, still inseparable. We head back to school and finish the day before we get into my car so I can drive him home because he can never keep a car for 4 months without messing it up.
We pull up and he just looks at me. "See you tomorrow?"
"Same time." I smile before he shocks me and hugs me again.
"Love you Ally." he mumbles against my neck.
"Love you too Austin." I say before he winks and gets out.
These nauseous feeling just won't go away will they? What the heck is going on me?
