Just when I thought things were looking up
It was now Wednesday, I woke up with a good feeling. It was my old mate, Josh's birthday the day before and we were going out that night for some drinks, nothing special just a few pints at the local but that was just the way I liked it. After choosing what I would wear that night I got ready for school like any other Wednesday morning and left on my bike. School began the same as most days and lessons were pretty much the same, I had physics first lesson followed by a free lesson where I just sat in the common room and another physics lesson. I was waiting for the evening, just wasting the day away as I hadn't been out in years.
After the school day I got home and got ready for going out and headed to the pub early so I could get some drinks before everyone turned up, a couple friends there didn't like me drinking too much so I thought they couldn't stop me when they're not there. Soon as I got there I was straight to the bar. I was waiting a few hours before everyone turned up so I was pretty drunk before the party even started. As usual Josh was almost last to turn up even though it was his party.
When Josh turned up I felt as though life was finally getting back to normal, Josh was the first friend I made when I moved into Mexborough, I was nine years old and at the time, a shy boy. We were close friends and visited each other every school day, we were like brothers. Before the party I hadn't seen him for almost two years. Even though we hadn't seen each other for such a long time, we just set about our drinking like it never happened.
After a short while Nicola and James turned up, they were also good friends I had met not long after arriving at Mexborough. Just like Josh they didn't even ask about what had happened to me, which to be honest, I was glad of it. I didn't want to re-live the past. So we just sat and had our drinks, having a good laugh like good friends should on a night at the pub. I had no idea at the shock waiting for me the next day.
