(2)Boarding School

Janet goes to Boarding School when she is 14, and realizes how much she misses Jeremy.

          1970

 

         As I got off the train, I looked up and saw not a school, but a mound of bricks. Mother had made me go here. She thought it would be easier for me. She said that she didn't have a good homelife for me, and she wanted to spend all of her money on here. I picked up my trunk and scratched my arm that was trapped in the itchy uniform. I would really miss all of my friends.

        When I got to my dorm room,  I saw a letter on my bed. IT was a familiar blue envelope with messy handwriting. I opened it. It read:

Dear Janet, I miss you and I heard that you enrolled here. I will see you around campus. Jeremy.

 

        Right then and there my heart skipped a beat. Jeremy had been in my head for the past seven years. He was the cutest boy ever and I still had a secret crush on him. I knew I would recognize him as soon as I saw him. I looked at the clock and saw that I had half an hour til class. I would just go ahead and walk around, saying it was a tour of the school.

       When I escaped that prison they called a dorm, I saw him. His shaggy blond hair was in his face. His blue eyes were glistening. I just stood there. Stared. Not aware of everyone around me.

       "JANET! My girl!" I heard a voice shout. Then I realized, the angel was talking. He had braces now!

      "Hi." I said, unable to speak. Everybody was turning around.

      He came up and hugged me. "How about coffee at 10?"

      "Sure, I'd love to." I said. We agreed to meet up at 11 at The Coffee Cup on campus.

      When I got there, It was packed. Tons of people were in line. I saw Jeremy standing in line, almost ready to order. Finally, we got up there. I got a scoop of vailla ice cream. I didn't like coffee yet. Jeremy put his order in and we both payed. I found us a cozy booth by the window. I noticed Jeremy didn't have anything, but right when I started to ask why, a server with a green glass came up and handed it to him. She also winked. I gasped. I wanted to yell 'she was flirting with you!' but I didn't.

      I noticed I must really like Jeremy because everytime I was around him I worried about everything. I thought that I should have gotten coffee because I look like a little kid now. He will never like me. It went on forever.

     "Hey," he started, "I'm so glad I found you here. I wanted to go ahead and tell you here that I am so glad you are here. But I am leaving in two months. I wish I could stay longer. Sorry."

      I smiled and told him it was fine. It was the best time ever with him. I knew this was going to be the best two months ever, and I would make them be perfect.
