I'M BACK! I survived my worst semester yet and I'm ready to enjoy summer… as soon as exams are over. ^-^' Anyway, I'm sure you've waited enough for this… on with the story!
A Perfect Life
A Misunderstood Betrayal
The only thought that got me through the rest of the day was of seeing Helga that night. There are only a few more weeks of school and then I'm out of here. If I pull my marks up enough, a few of the colleges I applied to told me they would accept me. I know, with Helga's support, I'll make it. She's always been there for me, even when I didn't want her there or knew she was there. The one person I know I can count on. My own guardian angel.
That night, I work hard on everything I have missed. I decide that this is where I decide the path I'm going to take, for better or worse. My eyelids begin to sag and I rest my head on my workbook. I fall into a deep sleep.
I'm walking along the now-familiar darkened street. I make my way to the park where I see Helga sitting on a bench. "Hey Football Head. What took you so long?"
"Homework," I answer.
A thought pops into my head. 'Only a few more weeks of school.' "Hey Helga, will you come to my graduation ceremony?"
She seems surprised at first but then smiles. "What kind of a question is that?" she asks, "I wouldn't miss it for the world!" I feel joy come over me and with that, we spend the rest of the time talking about current news.
Finally, as we line up in rows and the announcer takes the stand to address the crowd, I feel happiness I never knew I'd feel again. In a few hours, I will leave this auditorium. Leave some of these people forever. Leave this part of my life and begin a new one. As my name is called, I walk to the podium, take my certificate of graduation, and look out to the flashing lights of cameras as I shake my principal's hand, posing. I can just make out my grandmother, grandfather and family of borders. I look around the auditorium and notice someone's missing. I begin to look frantically to the outer edges of the room, barely touched by light, but she is nowhere to be seen. I can't even hear the principal whispering to me to continue on my way across the stage. My world spins once more. The one person I thought I could count on and she didn't show up. Helga, how could you?
So what d'ya think? I hope you enjoyed this. I should be installing the last chapter shortly… hang tight! ^-^
I love this quote so enjoy! ;)
Some day my boat will come in, and with my luck I'll be at the airport.
