Grace arrived to school with half an hour to spare, just how she liked it. You see she was quite similar to her father in many ways, she liked to know what was going on, she was opinionaed when she was pashinoate about something and if she was going do something she put 150% into it at all times. Jumping out of her van she grabbed both her bags and headed into the buildings. Her first stop was her locker and as she was typing in the code she heard
"Hey grace" and as she turned around was engulfed by her best friend Megan in a hug "how was your first night without OPD?" OPD standard for over protected Dano, a code made up so they could talk over the phone and not have Dano yell at her, and don't get me wrong I love Dano just not all the time especially as he seems to forget I'm almost 18.
Laughing I replied "it was good we sorted my room mostly, went out for dinner and talked a bit, although I do miss my hora of a brother" this was like the biggest joke ever coz everyone including Charlie new grace loved him to pieces but she'd never say it round him when her friends were round so he got nicknamed the hora, laughing meg replied
"Course you do you're a great big sister and we know you love him but I'm proud of you for standing up to your dad and being allowed to stay"
"I'm glad to I would not be able to start a new school" agreed grace instantly and realizing shed finished with her locker closed it with a bang before asking "you ready to go see the others"
"Sure" was megs reply before she turned and started walking towards their normal meeting place. Grace was so grateful for her friends she knew she'd never have survived without them and was eternally grateful for everything they'd don't for her over the last few years.
"You ready for cheer this evening" grace asked knowing that this father daughter routine was consider the worst nightmare of her friend
"Ready? To see my dad cheer? No, never, my worst nightmare" bursting out laughing the girls continued to walk towards where there other friends would be before Megs ventured "What you doing bout the game Friday? I mean with Dano being on the main land and that"
"Don't worry I've got it covered" I replied shocking her "Uncle Steve has agreed to participate so I'm all good, I'm so grateful for him as I wouldn't want to be the only one without a dad, plus all of five-0 are coming, Chin and Steve want to watch the football obviously as they were on the football team here and Kono hasn't missed a game I've cheered at yet, so I'm actually quite excited."
"that's good I'm glad they've got you covered" megs responded "Plus you know what this means…"
"I get to wear my shorter uniform while Jake plays" I giggled out before we both burst out laughing clearly thinking about the ordeal of the uniforms. I have two uniforms you see 1, new this year as I needed a new top but as the size is bigger the scort is to long for what I like but Dano thinks the other one is two short so refuses to let me wear it, so normally I have to wear the longer one to school, change in the locker rooms to wear the shorter one and change back before Dano gets too close to me. Basically its one big ordeal. Oh and if you didn't guess me and Jake are talking currently, nothing more just talking, but I know Dano will take it the wrong way as he's a high school footballer but I like him, like a lot a lot and cant wait to see where it goes over the next few weeks.
"Bet your grateful about that" nodding my head ion agreement we turned the corner and all our friends were there. Going to sit on the floor against the wall and between Megs and Katie and opposite Jake I realised just how lucky I am.
