Return - Chapter 2 – Day 2
It was Thursday. The second day back, I knew the second day would be better as I had seen most friends and explained the reasons for my late return so I wouldn't have to deal with the questions too much. I set off on my bike early to meet Olivia off the bus like I used to do before I left getting to school with just enough time to lock my bike up and head down to the bus stop just as the bus turned up the school drive. When the bus stopped and everyone got off I greeted Olivia with the familiar hug as we always used to, just like old times. Walking up into the school we just talked about bits of everything, lessons we had, what we'd been up to over the last year, there was a lot to catch up on.
When we got into school and signed in we walked up to the common room, we were the first ones there, which was no great surprise as we were always among the first to arrive at school. While we waited for the others to arrive we just talked catching up, had a little bitch about my ex since we both strongly dislike her to put it politely. It didn't take long for the others to arrive. When Amanda got there I started asking her about what I had to catch up on and did some catching up on the gossip, I could never resist. From then on the day went quickly.
It got to third lesson in chemistry, never my strongest subject, and Nathan was having one of his grumpy lessons so we all decided to try cheering him up. On this decision I thought to take it upon myself to cheer Nathan up so I walked up and hugged him, which didn't work. Seeing this everyone started asking questions. This wasn't a problem but then Lydia, about as subtle as an air raid asked "are you gay or something?" this again wouldn't have bothered me until they all started "yeah you are, you look it in the cardigan". At this point I decided to put them right slightly annoyed I just shouted out, "I'm bi ok, that's just the way I am." This didn't have the best reaction I could've hoped for but oh well, it felt good to say it and now I had nothing to hide.
After the dinner break, which was spent in the common room, we had biology where everyone had settled down as though nothing has been said the previous lesson. This was a relief since I didn't want things to be awkward. The last couple of lessons had gone quickly, we were kept busy which helped pass the time.
Since there were no lessons on the Friday, this was the end of my school week. Even though I was only a couple days into my new life I knew I had made the right choice by starting a new life.
