All Chapters of Last Year Of High School: Chapter 11 - Chapter 17

MARINA Gone! Abandoned! Lonely! Disappeared without a trace. I feel so.....empty Urrgh! Words cannot describe how I feel right now. Last night, when Javier and I kissed under the stars, I felt something I've never felt before. I felt a spark,a connection, there was fireworks and explosion. It felt as if we belonged together and together we could conquer the world. He was my first kiss and I enjoyed it. When we kissed, I felt that we could be together. But now reality stares in my face and he's gone. I was disappointed when I went to his room this morning and he was not there. His room looked cleaned out. But I didn't think he was gone. I thought he was avoiding me. I thought he was ashamed or maybe, I was a terrible kisser. I was shocked when Mr Barnaby called me to his office. He told me that I was getting a new roommate. When I asked why, he said it was because Javier was gone. It confirmed what Julya told me. Apparently his dad came to pick him up, very early in the morning

I had a replay of the entire day as I lay in bed.Recalling first day of school, I can barely wait for the school year to be over. Everyone was talking about their summer break, what they did, the parties they attended, their many love interests and so on. Their experiences made my summer holiday look lame. While they spent time at the beach, I spent mine hiking muddy trails. While they were getting their hair and nails done, I was getting kids to go to bed. They were having the time of their life while I dewormed dogs at the pet clinic. I enjoyed Eastern Springs Campout but after listening to everyone recount their summer experiences, I really hoped no one would ask me what I did over the summer.Britney was so excited about her delightful summer, partying and training with the cheerleaders. They are finally going to let her perform with them at the games. On one hand, I'm happy for her. On the other, I'm kinda mad she was MIA all summer. She just laughed it off."Marina, I'm really

JAVIERShe paled in shock as our eyes met. I didn’t bother waiting for her reaction before storming away. I was so blinded by rage, I bumped into someone.“Watch it” I noticed it was Marina, I cringed as I saw her frown.“I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking at where I was headed”“Obviously” she huffed. Despite the frown on her face, she was beautiful. Come to think of it, what was doing here? I had never seen her at a party. I was about to say something when I heard Britney call my name. I remembered I was supposed to be angry.“Later” I breathed and walked out.Britney was hot on my heels as I left the house. I walked to my car, I could hear the sound of gravel crunching under her heels.“Javier, I can explain” “I’m sorry”“Please listen to me”“Baby please answer me”I didn’t glance at her as I got into my car and drove to Troy’s house.MARINAA whole school week had gone by and I hadn’t spoken to Javier. There was a time this wouldn’t bother me but that time is gone. Javie

JAVIERSunday afternoon came with plans to hangout with Mason at one of our spots. A pizza joint to be exact. We had several spots across town where we hung out, this was a personal favorite of Mason. I was about to step out of the front door when my dad’s voice halted my movements.“Where are you going?” I turned to face him.“Out” I deadpanned.“I don’t like the sound of ‘out’.”“So now my movements are restricted?” I fired back.“When your movements become quite as uncertain as disappearing from existence, I think it calls for some restriction.” Seriously, I wasn’t in the mood to argue with him but he just had to bring that up.“I just wanna go out and grab some pizza. It’s not like I’m gonna elope or something.”“We’re having a family dinner by 7pm. Don’t be late” he said, warning evident in his voice.“As if we’re even a family” I mumbled.“What was that?” he thundered.“Dinner as a family, that’s what I said.” That reply seemed to satisfy him so I left the house.I got a text f
