High School
By the time me and Jake had got to school there was only five minuets before the start of the day so me and Jake walked from the car park to our lockers together deciding that we would meet at break to carry on our English assignment. When the bell rang we hugged goodbye and we left to go to our first classes. As I was walking to gym meg came up behind me
"Hey grace where were you this morning? Is everything alright?" she asked clearly slightly concerned. That's one thing i absolutely loved about her she was always so caring and kind. Snapping out of my thoughts i replied
"It's fine I just had a secret meeting with Kono this morning she wanted to check up on me without the others around whilst Dano is away that's all, we just ended up talking like normal and so I was later than intended but it was nice to catch up with her properly." I replied all of which was true
"Fair, I know they all irritate you but your so lucky with all of your ohana" Meg replied clearly slightly upset.
"Still no news then huh" I asked. Nodding her head but with no words so i carried on "don't worry you always have me and mine I know its not the same but still you'll get one eventually I promise"
"I hope so" meg sighed slumping onto one of the benches in the locker room "its just... its just so frustrating I've been in that home for 6 years but coz i was over ten when i got there barley anyone wanted me and all those who did iver decided i wasn't the right fit or something happend to change it... why wouldn't they want me? Why wasn't I good enough for my parents or these other families?"
"Let me cut you off right there" I stopped her "You deserve so much more than what you get, there is no logical reason that your parents and these families would have let you go except the fact you were special, unique, powerful, strong willed, beautiful and caring that they didn't know how to nourish all that so gave you up before they feel like they failed however you don't deserve it, you don't deserve any of it, but that's why you have me and all the others in our friendship group. You deserve so much more than all of that bullshit however it will only make you stronger and make you achieve so much more for you and your future family when the time is right and in the mean time you always have me and mine." she didn't answer straight away but hugged me tightly before saying
"I just don't know what to do always, that's all" she replied before we stated to get changed for gym. As we had the peperally tomorrow we had last minuet cheer drills during gym so we could go home and rest this night so we are ready for tomorrow.
After a busy two lessons of gym we got changed in the locker room and got ready to head to break.
"Hey meg, I have to go, i'm meeting Jake so we can work on our English assignment. what do you have fourth lesson?" I asked
"Your meeting Jake" was her immediate reaction
"For an assignment, that's all" I replied knowing she would now question me for a good five minuets
"I know your going out, he must have asked you yesterday, i don't care i wont tell anyone but i'm here for you, oh and your not going to get much work done with you wearing your shorts today" she laughed hitting my back with her gym t-shirt.
"ha ha, ok were going out, I love him, but we have to get this done so we will if anything happens it will be tomorrow when i'm wearing my uniform or at the party after not now especially not in school" i replied turning round to pick up my bags "That was the bell so i'm going to go, see you lesson four in chemistry"
"Bye grace" meg said before I turned and waked out of the locker through the school, I got to my locker before Jake caught up with me.
"You ready to work on our English project babe?" he asked as i put my gym bag in my locker
"Yeah lets go get this done so we don't have to worry about it next week" I replied and with that we walked together to our English classroom. The entire way i felt his eyes look me up and down and I smiled to myself feeling good that he thought I looked so good. By the end of break and lesson 3 we had finished the project which meant for the rest of the English lessons till the due date we could just talk and chill which i was really looking forward to. When the bell rang a message came over the schools sound system
"Can all of the football squad report to the pe office to get essential information about tomorrows game. Thank you have a good day and ensure your all there supporting them tomorrow"
"I guess I will have to see you later then as duty calls" Jake joked
"Have fun" i replied before we walked out of the classroom and headed our separate ways. Lesson four passed fairly uneventfully having quite a boring lesson from Mr Thomson and it was safe to say we were glad to see lunch time. Heading to our usual spot me, Meg, Katie and Tommy were the first ones there so we sat eating and talking. Gradually the rest of our group came and sat bringing the usual lunch time gossip and complaints about lessons and teachers. Everyone apart from the football team were here by this point when Alice came running over crying her eyes out me and meg who had known her the longest instantly got up and went to talk to her away from the others.
"I just can't believe he cheated on me" she stuttered straight away, me and and meg looked at each other, rolled our eyes but we both knew right now she needed our support rather than us grilling her awful boyfriend. We managed to calm her down and returned to the group now accompanied by Alice when the footballers appeared. They just said it had been the usual last minuet going over plays and opportunies and rules ready for the big game.
The rest of lunch time was spent by the entire group- lead by Alice- grilling her now e-boyfriend and just generally chattering. when the bell rang we all headed to our last class of the day before we were able to head home.
