A/N Hey, I'm back with a new chapter, sorry it's been a while. To my friend- you know who you are- just see this as the proofread and let me know for mistakes! Also, to guest- sadly I can't write you an EnochxOlive as I m in the book fandom and it would be a bit awkward for me to write it, I hope you understand! Thanks to: Everybody who has reviewed, and the follows from everyone! I really appreciate it!
Fiona didn't hate her school. In fact, it was a very nice school with kind teachers and she had nice friends. She, in fact, liked her school very much. There was just one problem, the cliques. Now obviously they weren't extreme segregation tools like in 'Mean Girls' with one small crowd standing at the top, no, but it was more like the students had drifted into their own little friendship groups and there was the unspoken rule of strictly no mingling being allowed. Unless you wanted everyone to hate you for spoiling the school's organisation, you kept to your friends and that was that. It wasn't hard, I mean you obviously get on very well with the people you chose, but the matter of love was very separate.
"Come on, Fiona! You're eighteen, young, free and beautiful! You've got to get a boyfriend at some point!" As she received an annoyed look from Fiona, Emma sighed, exasperated. "I give up," she huffed and pushed back on the plastic blue chair. Fiona rolled her eyes. If only Emma knew about Hugh. It was almost laughable how many times she set up dates or complained about Fiona's supposed relationship status.
"It's not a big deal, Em, just because you snagged the new boy-"
"Hey!" Jacob threw Bronwyn a mock offended look and she raised an eyebrow.
"Sorry Jacob, but I'm just saying that if Fiona doesn't want a boyfriend right now then just be happy with what you've got!" Emma looked at Fiona, who nodded.
"I guess so" Ever since Emma and Jacob got together, Emma had been nagging Fiona about getting a boyfriend even more, after accepting that Bronwyn wasn't going to take it, especially after the loss of her brother.
"Don't let me get in the way, it's no big deal Emma" Emma returned her smile sympathetically. Fiona knew she just wanted everyone to be as happy as she was, if it didn't come out as a little overbearing sometimes. If only she knew. Fiona had considered just telling her friends, but between Emma's big mouth and Bronwyn's motherly needs she didn't see it as an urgent thing to tell them. Looking away, the Irish girl glanced around at the others in the cafeteria, catching the eye of a few people, who mostly gave her a polite smile. Eventually she caught his eye. He cast her a grin, and she nodded back, smiling. While the small bit of confidence in her head nagged her to just disregard everything and just show everyone their relationship, the rest of her clung to the idea of staying practically unnoticeable for only three weeks then leaving with an A-level in business and the keys to her Grandmother's old florist. Speaking of... she clutched the silver keys in her pocket, smiling at the thought of telling him the news.
"Oooh, who are we making doey-eyes at" Fiona groaned and Bronwyn rolled her eyes as the blonde leaned against the table just as Hugh turned away. Jacob shook his head and just carried on sipping his milkshake.
"Nobody, I was just waving hi to Millard over there" she threw her hand in a random direction. Emma rolled her eyes, knowing the boy -who had the ability to practically become invisible when he wanted to blend into the crowd- was perfectly smitten with his adventurous girlfriend, Autumn. The bell sounded suddenly, and they all emptied their trays before heading to class.
"I'm going to head home, my classes are over for today. See you tomorrow"
"Lucky" Emma waved goodbye to Fiona. "See you later!" Fiona waved as the others walked the opposite way.
Heading out of the school gates, she walked quickly down to the train station and got on the train. Impatiently hurrying off the train five stops later, she sped down the wooden steps she knew so well and pushed into the woods surrounding her small town.
"Hey" turning around, she grinned as Hugh looped his arms around her waist and placed a chaste kiss on her lips. They had been together for almost four years, and had agreed to go and run her grandmother's florist together once they got out of sixth form. Although Hugh was publicly outgoing, Fiona was more of an introvert and would only show her true colours around people she trusted. To him, her feelings were his priority, so they just kept their relationship a secret.
"Hey" She smiled and slung her arms around his neck.
"Another three weeks and we're out of this place!" He grinned and she smiled back. "We'll go and get married, and we'll take up your grandma's florist, that place has been waiting too long for us" breaking into a matching grin, she nodded stepped back, pulling something out of her jean pocket. Confused, Hugh watched as she held up a key chain with three keys on it and a green leaf keyring.
"No way"
"I finally did it! The lawyers finally gave me the keys now I'm eighteen!"
"Yes!" He pulled her into a hug then kissed her. When they broke apart, he hugged her again. "This is great. We have our whole future ahead of us" She smiled into his chest.
"Come on, I have to take Toby out for a walk. You'll come?" He nodded, and grabbed her hands. Walking out the way they came, the pair talked all the way to Fiona's house.
"Hey boy!" Holding out his hand to the golden Labrador, Hugh scratched behind Toby's ears as he barked happily. Fiona watched as Hugh grabbed the leash and clipped it onto the blue collar.
"You'd be a great dad" she muttered quietly as he grabbed her hand again, casting her a glance.
"And you'd be a great mum" she blushed, not realising he heard her.
