"Oh my god Shelly!! I've missed you so much!!" I exclaimed.
"Me too!!" She squealed.
"Henry, this is Shelly. Shelly this is Henry." I introduced them. "He's my boyfriend." I whispered in her ear. She opened her mouth slightly and nodded.
"Nice!!" She said to me as she shook Henry's hand. I laughed.
"God I've missed you Shelly!!" I said. I hugged her again and she squeezed me.
"What have you been up to?" She asked.
"Well I gashed open my leg when I moved to Forks, Washington. I moved from Texas and now I live with my mom." I told her.
"That's good, about you living with your mom and not your dad. How did you gash open you leg?" She asked.
"I busted my leg at school when I went down the wrong hallway and slipped and fell on something. I've got nine stitches. His dad's a doctor so he stitched me up. For free, thank god." I pointed to Henry and pulled up my pant leg and showed her.
"Ouch!" She said when she saw it.
"You're tellin' me." I laughed at the face she made.
"So Henry, have any brothers?" She asked jokingly.
"Yep, but they're all taken." He replied smiling my favorite smile.
"Well butts!!" She said. We all laughed and the bell rang. We walked inside and Shelly had to go to her locker. Henry and I went to the office to get visitor passes.
"Is that Kaitlin Harris?!" I heard someone exclaim. I turned and saw it was my 7th, 8th and part of 9th grade Health teacher.
"Yes it is." I let go of Henry's hand and went to hug her. Henry kept getting us our passes.
"So what have you been up to?" Mrs. Forney asked me.
"Not much. I just moved away from Texas and now I live in Forks, Washington with my mom, step dad and step brother. What about you?" I told her.
"Well I had a baby girl and now I'm pregnant with a baby boy." She replied.
"Oh my gosh!! That's great!!" I squealed. She smiled at me.
"Well I better go. I have to get ready for class. It was nice seeing you." She said.
"You too. Bye." I said. She waved and walked out of the office. I walked back over to Henry and he stuck a visitor's pass on the left side of my chest. I smiled and he laughed. I looked down at his beautiful handwriting. He had put my name as Kaitlin Cullen. He had his on the right side of his chest. We held hands as we walked out of the office. I led Henry to the bench where only the juniors were aloud to sit. We sat down and Shelly came up and sat by us.
"Hey, so who is like the mean girls group and who hasn't changed and….. Oh you know what I mean!" I asked her.
"Well, nobody's really changed, they just got bigger and more mature. Only a few people changed. Kayleigh has changed. I'm glad you guys talked me out of being friends with her. She turned into the like; I guess you could call her mean girl, like the plastics in Mean Girls." She laughed. "A year after you left that happened and now she has a "posse", Alicia, Aubree, Corrine, Cassie and Heather. That's pretty much it. No one else has changed. We got a new girl a few months after you left and then a little bit after she came here Josh got her pregnant." She laughed.
"Oh my gosh!! Are you serious?!" I managed to get through laughs.
"No…. I'm kidding, not!! Oh and Marcus is like so tall now!! You should see him. You know what, let's go find him." She grabbed my hand and pulled me to the left towards the science wing. Henry's hand was still connected to mine, so he came with. I guess even if his hand wasn't interlocked with mine he still would have followed me. She dragged me to a locker and we waited for a minute or two and I saw him. He was so tall! He had to be at least 6'6"! He was a little muscular too.
"Oh my god?! Marcus!?" I screamed. He turned his head to see who had called his name. His face lit up.
"Kaitlin!! I haven't seen you in forever!!" He said.
"Me neither!!" I hugged him and I felt Henry tense a little as I let go of his hand. I leaned back towards Henry and I fumbled and started to fall. He pulled me in so I wouldn't fall.
"What have you been up to?" He asked me.
"Not much. You?" I asked back.
"Same." Right after he said that the bell rang.
"Well I guess I'll talk to you later." I said as I hugged him again and he walked off to his class.
"Well I better go too." Shelly said.
"Okay. See you later." I replied. We hugged again and she walked to her class.
"Well, what do we do now?" Henry asked.
"We can look around the school and then we can go the lunchroom at the junior lunches. Then when school is over we can look around town and I can show you around where I grew up." I answered.
"That sounds good." He mumbled at the skin of my neck.
"Henry stop, I might pass out." I laughed. We walked to the junior bench and sat down. We waited until the crowd was gone and then I saw Mr. Yates.
"Oh crap." I whispered under my breath. Henry looked the way my eyes were looking and looked back at me.
"Yeah, that's an 'oh crap'." He whispered softer. Mr. Yates walked up to us.
"Aren't you guys supposed to be in class?" He asked us suspiciously.
"No actually, we're visitors." I pointed to out tags and he nodded.
"You two are the two that are visiting from Washington?" He asked again.
"Yeah, I used to go here and I just wanted to visit while I was off of school." I said.
"Well okay. I don't want to hear that you guys interrupted any classes while you were here." He said as he walked away.
"Okay Mr. Yates." I replied. "That was a little awkward." I said quietly when Mr. Yates was out of hearing range.
"Yeah, you should have heard his thoughts. Then you would have been scared." He laughed quietly and it made me laugh too. We got up and we started to walk towards the elementary part of the school. I showed him all of the classes I ever went to and then we started in the middle school again. By then the classes had changed one or two times. When we had finished that part of school, it was time for the high school. When I was done showing him what little classes I had in high school, it was time for The Junior lunch. We walked with everybody and Shelly caught up to us. We walked together to the lunchroom and found a table. Shelly put her sweatshirt on the seat she wanted to sit at and went to the lunch line.
"Kaitlin, aren't you gonna get something to eat?" Henry asked me.
"No, I'm not that hungry." I replied.
"I think you should eat something." He gestured over to the lunch line.
"No Henry, I'm not hungry." I said again.
"Fine, whatever." He said. People started to pile into the table and Shelly made it back. I saw Kayleigh go by and she saw me and started to walk over to us.
