Lily woke up that morning to the painful sound of her alarm clock. She reached one hand out of the covers and hit the snooze button; she rolled over onto her side and poked her head out to check the time. 7:30, her mum would be calling her soon. She begrudgingly got out of bed and rubbed her eyes. It was the last day of school before summer and she had no motivation for it she just wanted summer to begin so she could spend all day in the garden, reading her books. She got off the bed, picked up her school uniform from where she had put it the night before and walked the short walk to the shower. After the shower Lily felt much better. She walked down the stairs, rounded the corner and entered the kitchen where her mum and dad where already having breakfast. "Good morning" she greeted them cheerily, smiling at them.

Jane and Peter Evans were your typical parents. Jane Evans was 34 years old, about 5.3 and had brown hair and eyes just like Lily's sister Petunia except for her height as she took after her father in that area. Peter Evans was also 34 years old. He was about 6.3 and had red hair and green eyes like Lily, although his eyes where a darker green. Lily smiled at her parents who were too engrossed in their conversation to hear her morning greetings.

Lily walked over to the kettle, filled it and switched it on; she could not function in the morning without a cup of tea. Lily looked out of the window and began to think about the last year. Four months ago she had broken up with her boyfriend of two years. They had been together happily until had had started to pressure her, so she had ended it. She looked back over to her parents; they had been her age when they had started dating. Lily wanted what they had, the way they looked at each other even the way they argued which was so passionate. They could hurt each other so badly but the next day they were back to the way they always were. The sound of the kettle brought her out of her revive; it also brought her parents out of their conversation.

"Oh good morning love, when did you come down?" Lily's mum asked her. "A few minutes ago but you were so engrossed in your conversation you didn't hear me. Tea?" she replied turning to face the kettle. "Yes please love" Peter said walking up behind her and placing their mugs next to her and kissing her on the check. She poured the tea and took her parents mugs over to them, they thanked her and she went to get her mug off the kitchen worktop. Lily sat down and poured herself a bowl of cereal. "What were you two talking about so intensely?" she asked her parents. They looked at each other conspiratorially "Nothing" Jane said with a twinkle in her eye. "Really it didn't look that way" Lily said. "Really it was nothing. Now you had best be off or you'll be late for school. Lily knew they were hiding something but decided not to push it. She finished her tea and took a piece of toast off her dad's plate. "Hey" he cried in surprise, she pulled tongues at him and left the house. As she walked up the hill her thoughts returned to the break-up four months ago, it had been horrible, he had been her first boyfriend and it had hurt so much to end it with him but she knew it had been the right thing to do.

The school was only up the road so it only took her five-ten minutes to get to school. The school itself was old; there were big iron gates with the initials "W.H." which stood for "William's House". It was called this after the family that had lived there for many years, in 1929 last of the William's died. They left the house to be a school for the children in the area. The house was a big, red brick building which in her first year had scared Lily and now in her fourth year it was like a second home that she did not want to be parted from for six weeks. As she walked through the gates she thought to herself that the coming September would be her last year, unless she stayed on for her A-Levels.

At that moment she felt a tap on the shoulder, she turned and there stood her friend Sarah smiling at her. "Are you ok Lil's?" she asked with a concerned look in her eyes. "Yes I am fine, just thinking" she replied. Sarah did not look convinced but she just liked arms with her and they walked into school laughing at something Sarah said. The day went by uneventfully. When half four came around she said goodbye to her friends promising to see them on Saturday. When she got home she went straight to her room to get the homework she had been set for the holiday done, as she wanted to get it out of the way so she could enjoy her holiday. She had done most of it but she had been set some that day so she wanted it done and out of the way.

She looked up from her work and looked out of the window; her bedroom overlooked the field that her house backed onto. Her room was a medium sized room, when you opened the door you saw her desk at the window. To your right was her bed, it was a big double bed with a metal headboard, the duvet was white and there was a blanket at the bottom which her mother and grandmother had made for her before she was born. In the corner was an armchair, it was her favorite place to sit and read. On the left side of the room was a settee and two armchairs and a table were her friends could sit and talk. In the center of the room was a round mat which was green and white. She knew it was cliched considering she was a red head but she really liked the colour green. Her walls were all white apart from the outside wall that was Leprechaun green.*

She loved her room it was cosy and safe. It was the one place in the house where she could relax. Just then she heard the front door open and close, it couldn't be her parents as they were not home until six normally. Lily decided to go downstairs to see who it was. She walked down the stairs and entered the sitting room; there stood her sister Petunia and her boyfriend Vernon. She and her sister had had a good relationship, however, since her sister started dating Vernon this had changed. Petunia had become less fun, she was always trying to be posh and more impressive. "Hello Tuney, Vernon" Lily said in greeting "Hello" Vernon replied gruffly and without feeling. "Hello Lily" Petunia said in a condescending manner "Where is mother and father?" "Still at work I would assume" Lily replied with a rather stating the obvious tone. "Oh yes of course how silly of me" Petunia laughed irritatingly. This was the new thing she had adopted, a high pitched giggle. "Why?" Lily asked suspiciously. "Well I was going to tell you when they were here but oh well as we're here. Vernon and I are engaged." Petunia said holding her head high and Vernon had what looked like an attempt as a smile but was more of a grimace through his mustache.

"Pardon" Lily asked in a state of shock "you what?" Petunia laughed again "I am getting married aren't you happy for me?" she asked looking slightly hurt. Lily quickly recovered herself "Yes of course I am. Congratulations Tuney, Vernon" she moved to give her sister a hug and shake Vernon's hand. "I'll leave you two alone" Lily said "I have some work to finish" with this she left the room and ran upstairs. Once her door was shut her brain exploded. What was she thinking? Well she clearly wasn't. He was dull and boring. Why would she want to be with him for the rest of her life? This was what her parents had been talking about this morning. "I have to get out" Lily said to herself. She quickly changed out of her school uniform and put on a pair of skinny jeans, a white tank top with a large green jumper over the top and her favorite pair of flat shoes. She thought about putting a jacket on but she decided against it was it was a warm day.

Picking up her bag on the way out, she walked down the street. The same thoughts running through her head over and over. As she rounded the corner she collided with something. "Oy watch it" a deep voice said. At this Lily looked up into the most amazing pair of hazel eyes she had ever seen.
