Free Day

I stood by myself at the frozen banks of the river. I had a large jacket on, my hands in my pockets. I was cold and thinking. Thinking about Greg. He was mine. He was always mine. Until one day I let him go. I didn't mean to, at all. It just happened. Like everything else. We had fought, really badly. It's been a while. I don't even remember why we were fighting. I just know that it is a bad thing, that I can never forgive him about.

  

  "Drew, can you drive me to school?" I asked, holding the door. 

  He looked at me, half of his cereal sticking out of his mouth. 

  "Gross! OK, I guess not." I said. 

  Drew was my brother. My really obnoxious, jerky brother, that I can't even believe I relied on him to drive me to school. He would probably make me skip and take me to the bar with his friends and I won't even be able to hang with them.

  But that's him. That's Drew. 

  "Mum! Can you drive me to school!!!!" I yelled, getting really bored and my arm feeling like falling off by holding the door too long. 

  Mum started walking downstairs, she was all dressed up and fancy. 

  "Sure honey, just a sec." She replied. 

  "OK." I said. 

  I was very excited for today. We had a special game with netball, and we don't have any quizzes today. Cause its a fun day. We get free play all day and a bonus-we don't have to wear school uniform.
