He stared at her while surrounded by his friends at the top of the stairs. Oh, how she longed to wrap her arms around him and hug and say she was going to miss him, that she couldn’t live without him…
“Are you going to say goodbye?”,her annoying friend,Elena chirped. Aimee elbowed her in the stomach to get her to shut up. Tomorrow, Seth would be leaving for England. She would probably never see him again. He waved to her, with an expression on his face that Aimee couldn’t quite place. She purposefully didn’t respond to it, smirking and said, “Try not to miss me!”
Joking around was the only way she could hide her real emotions was to joke about everything. That was her “Get out of Jail Free” card, in a sense.
“You didn’t say goodbye!”, Elena gasped. Aimee longed to punch her. She would have if the consequences didn’t include being locked up in the principal’s office and saying she did it because Elena was annoying the crap out of her.
“SHUT UP!” Aimee yelled. She knew she would regret not seeing him off.
