Chapter 4: The Photograph
Heather had just left the 4th period classroom, already exhausted. On the way to lunch, she met Sean.
"Sean, can we stop at my locker first? I hafta get a few things before we can leave."
"Sure, no problem. Where's your locker?"
"Just down here a little bit. 70."
"Oh cool. I'm 80. We're not that far apart!"
When they had reached Heather's locker, Heather opened it, trying to take down the picture of her and Sean as fast as she could, to avoid awkward conversation. But by the time she opened her locker it was too late. Sean started looking at the pictures right away, remembering all his old friends. Tim, Amanda, Chrissy, Mark, Seth..they were all there, along with plenty of band pictures. Among all these pictures was one, of a boy and a girl under a tree sitting on a park bench. This one intrigued Sean the most.
"Wow. Look how young we were!" Sean said, amazed that Heather kept the photo.
"Yeah, we were pretty young. I love that picture." Heather said, trying to laugh it off.
"So, should we go to lunch now? Or do you want to leave now?"
"Mom packed me a lunch, so I'm good. Let's just leave now, if you're hungry, I'll give you some of my lunch."
"Sounds good to me!"
After Sean and Heather had left the school unnoticed, they started walking in the direction of Heather's house.
"We're almost at my house. Do you wanna come over? My mom should be home, she would be thrilled to see you. I'll just make up a story that we had a half day today, she'll believe it."
"Alright, I can't wait to see your mom."
When Heather and Sean got to Heather's house, they found Heather's mom in the kitchen, starting lunch.
"Hey mom! I'm home. I brought over a friend, I hope you don't mind!" Heather screamed to her mom.
"Oh that's good! You made a friend! Bring them in, let me meet them!"
When Heather entered the kitchen, with Sean behind her, Heather's mom gasped.
"SEAN! Oh, it's so good to see you! How have you been? How's your brother?"
"I'm good, and so is Tracker."
"Well, that's good to hear. Why don't you sit down and I'll make you two lunch. Then Sean, maybe you could call your brother, I'd love to have you two over for dinner tonight."
"I'm going to ask for a rain check on the lunch, I should be getting home to help out Tracker, I'll tell him about dinner, what time should be here?"
"Is 6:30 alright with you?"
"6:30 should be fine, Mrs. Moena. Thanks for the invitation!"
"Anytime Sean!"
When Sean had left, Heather told her mom about the first day, and who she had met, including Emma, leaving out what Emma had said about Sean.
"I'm going to go to my room mom, go on the computer for a little bit maybe."
"Alright honey, but not that long though."
By the time Heather had done her homework that she had for the first day, the actual school day had ended, so she went online.
When Heather signed on, she got notification screens that people were trying to IM her, but she didn't recognize the screen names.
'Must be kids from Degrassi, Emma did say she was going to give my screen name to a few people.' Heather thought, answering the first one.
