I am back! Ugh, sorry for not updating. High school really sucks sometimes. Crazy- my drama club was putting on Go-Go Beach- neat musical, but when the show's on in two days and our lead doesn't know his lines… Well, things get a little nuts.


Date: December 16th

Character: Bella

Stimulus: Break

Dedication: To all of my readers, who accept my apology for being so late, and encourage me to keep on writing.

THANK YOU!!!!


"See 'ya next year Bella!"

"What do you mean Mike?" I say, for once, snapping out of my zombie state. He was surprised to see me do something so rare as well.

"Uhh, um, you know. It's Christmas break. Whoo? Vacation?" he stammered, clearly still in shock.

He also says that like a question. Like he doesn't really believe I agree.

"Break? Vacation? What do you mean, it's only…" But I know. Time has gone by. I'm still getting older and the clock is still ticking.

"Yeah, I'll see you after break, in the new year? Uh, unless you want to, um, hang out, or-er-something?"

"I…" I look away, "You know I can't, Mike."

I quickly hurry to my car without waiting for a response. On my way home I'm in more than the usual pain, and have a tough time making it. Because not only do I have to feel the pain now, but I now have reservations. I know greater pain is coming.

Christmas break was going to break me. What was I going to do? I'll have so much time on my hands. So much time to think of him.

This is bad. I have to think of something time consuming. Something that won't allow my thoughts to wander. Soon.
