Epilogue: Repent

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

A/N: Hi! Sorry. Ive been trying not to rush through this story cuz I want to post the sequel over summer break :)

She tugged on her ponytail walking over to her old group.

The group before her fun of summer.

And her year of misery.

They all stared seeing her.

She softly muttered her apology.

They smiled and welcomed her back openly.

She smiled.

They went back to the way things were a year ago.

Huddled together whispering and giggling.

Things were back to normal for her.

Shane smiled seeing Mitchie happy.

Unlike she had been all year.

It was nice.

It made him happy.

Unlike seeing her sad.

That was depressing.

And broke his heart.

His small heart.

That was still learning to love.

Even if it had loved one person for 5 years now.

So he couldnt help the smile that spread across his face.

The first smile he had all year.

Just like Mitchie.

And he liked it.

It wasnt an artificial smile.

It was a true smile.

One that matched.

No.

Could rival the one sitting on Mitchies face across the room.

She laughed and he smiled even more.

It was a great ending to a sucky year.

It was so strange.

Bizzare.

She was happy.

It was a foreign concept to her.

She hadnt been happy since she could last remember.

She felt like she grew up so much in the past year.

And she didnt know if it was a good thing.

She pondered it for a bit.

She smiled and decided that yes.

Her growing up as a good thing.

A very good thing.

She was going to prevent another incident like fourth grade to happen again.

She was going to fifth grade.

God she had to.

She was almost in middle school.

You couldnt be switching from groups to groups constantly in middle school.

She sighed.

It was either behave.

Or be deserted.

She couldnt handle that again.

So she made the common choice.

Stick with these friends.

Or forever repent for her mistakes.

In misery.

And loneliness.
