Chapter 6
(Auden's P.O.V.)
Now that I think about it, this is really the first time I've been genuinely happy since the move. I've only lived here for about five months, but I was never happy. I was in the hoodie phase. My hoodie phase consists of a sweatshirt, sunglasses, an iPod, and a hair tie. Meaning, I tried hiding from view because of my depression from the move. What can I say? I used to live in Virginia, then I'm forced to move to New Jersey. I mean, what's up with that? All of my friends back home told me that Jersey wasn't good for surfing, and my friends and I spent our whole time at the beach, just surfing. I really hate this! Until now, on the last day, people have been talking to me. And I've been talking to them. I even have someone to hang out with on Saturday! Who knew that I could actually get friends? That was me, my brother was always popular like me back at our old school. We always hung out with the same people, and we did everything together. We were close then. When we moved, we grew apart. He was excited to check out the girls from a new school, while I was eager to get out of school and go home. I wished I had chosen to stay with my dad. He stayed in Virginia, and my mom moved to her home.
Just thinking about my friends brought tears to my blue eyes. I wiped my eyes and started toward my last class of the day.
The last class of this year, this grade. The last class of middle school.
I'd be a high schooler! I grinned and walked past my brother. He looked at me, "Hey Auden."
I glanced over at him with a smile, "Hey Aiden."
And then, I pushed through the door. My last class of the day was supposed to be pre-algebra, but since it was the last day, we could just screw around. Mrs. Rye smiled at everyone and gave us a speech about how we were becoming young adults in high school and how we would become more mature and intelligent and blah, blah, blah. I really wasn't paying attention. I was too absorbed in thinking about the bonfire tonight. I had forty-five minutes before heading home on the bus, then I would get dressed in something appropriate, or not, and then head down to the bonfire. It was something for new high school kids, or kids going to high school to experience something close to a high school party. I didn't understand much about it, but Aiden was the one who knew everything suddenly. Seriously, that kid could get information. And then, I wasn't paying attention because some guy was staring at me. I raised my eyebrow at him, and he winked. I shook my head and decided to attempt to listen.
Yeah, it didn't work well. But now that the day was over, I was excited. I mean, my first party/bonfire for New Jersey. And it was like a high school one. I watched as girls cried with their friends, and as guys clapped hands, as people hugged their best friends, as teachers waved goodbye, as everybody promised to hang out over the summer, which they never would do. Boyfriends and girlfriends were making promises they wouldn't keep, and hugging each other. And here I was, walking towards the front door. Up ahead, I saw the girl I had met in the bathroom. Katherine, her name was. I grinned and shouted, "Katherine!" She was crying and hugging some girl, and she had another girl with them, who was also crying. Emotional! My friends and I never cried on the last day, we hung out everyday of the summer. It was like a tradition. A tradition that had just ended. I ran forward and smiled at everyone, but that smile quickly faded when the one girl glared at me for being so happy.
Short? Boring?
