It all began as we left Kings Cross-Station. I had been planning all year
to have them all spend the summer with me at my Dad's house. He was all for
it, as long as their parents agreed. It had taken some time but before long
all the parents agreed to let them come. As we stepped off the train I
looked around. I saw my Dad standing there with Gavin, my brother, and a
rather large group of people.
My Dad was surrounded by most of my friends' parents. Breena's Mum was there, as well as Hari's parents, who were talking to Silver, Breena's older brother, and not far away was Gavin. Closer to Mrs. Brightheart and my Dad were Alaina's parents. I looked around, trying to spot Linnea's parents, but there wasn't anyone else.
All the others ran forward and Linnea stood back near the train, holding her bag. I looked back at her and she sniffed, tears welling up in her eyes.
"They're not here?" she asked, she voice shaking a little.
"Linnea." I said, hugging her.
"Oy! Linnea! Lexy!" yelled a voice.
I looked up to see Gavin walking towards us.
"How're you two mates doing?' he asked.
I nodded and Linnea shrugged. Gavin knelt down and looked at her.
"Look, I know you're wondering where yer Mum and Dad are. Well, they weren't able to make it," said Gavin, "They said they were sorry and that they'd probably stop by during the summer."
Linnea smiled and hugged Gavin. He winked at me behind Linnea's back and suddenly I felt someone's arms around my waist. I looked and saw a blond haired boy looking down at me with his blues eyes.
"Hey Kurt," I said.
"You were going ta leave me for the summer without saying good-bye?" he asked, looking hurt.
"No! I'd never do that!" I said, poking him.
He kissed my cheek and I smiled.
"See ya next year, mate!" he said as he walked off.
I turned and saw Gavin staring blankly at me.
"What the bloody hell was that?" he demanded.
"Oh, him?" I asked innocently, "That was just Kurt, my boyfriend."
"What?" shouted Gavin.
Several people around us stopped and stared and Gavin swallowed. He then looked at me.
"You've got some explain to do," he muttered.
I smiled innocently and began to laugh as Gavin rolled his eyes. I walked over to the large group and my Father hugged me.
"Well, hi there stranger." he said, smiling.
I laughed and he looked he over.
"You grew," he said.
I looked down. My jeans were shorter than they had been and I shrugged. I had been to busy I hadn't noticed.
"I have been gone for a year," I said, smiling ear to ear.
My Father laughed and Silver walked near me and started to talk to Gavin. Breena wandered over and rolled her eyes as she watched them.
"Ya know, he writes me and says how much he misses me but then second I come home he doesn't care anymore," she said bitterly.
I smiled at her as she glared at him.
"Brothers can be so immature," said Breena.
I nodded. Given the fact that they were 10 years older than we were, they always had their moments.
Everyone was saying his or her good-byes as I stood there with Breena. Her mother came over and hugged her tightly.
"Send an owl if you need anything," she said, smiling.
She then turned to me.
"Take care of her, alright?" she asked.
I nodded.
"Course I will," I replied.
Before I knew it, all of the families had left, and it was just my friends, my Dad, Gavin and I standing there. My Dad checked his watch and nodded. He grabbed some of the trunks and looked at us.
"Well, c'mon, let's go," he said.
He piled all of our trunks into the back of his car and we climbed inside. Before I knew it we were heading back to my house, I was going back home.
