A Simple Life of a Teenage Boy - Page 50/97

My best buddies Aaron, Ron, Nicholas and Eric too gathered at the graduation. Moreover, Eric had called all of the girls who we were my childhood friends. Some girls who had boyfriend that time still had boyfriend but the boys were different. I guess some people don't change their old habits. But at first I didn't recognize all of them. Some grew a lot taller and bigger and some were the same. Seeing all of them filled me with happiness and excitement. Though I feared that I would no longer be with them. As I was walking towards the cafeteria to pick up lunches for all of us, I saw James entering the school's gate. I was shocked. But then again I remembered that I had invited him long time ago. I forgot that I was hungry and went to talk to him. And before I reached there, Jenny was alongside him. I felt a little awkward. But I didn't return, I went there and said hello.

James seemed a little taller and matured than before. And he said the same thing to me. Well in fact we were becoming adult. While we were having the conversation, Jenny looked happy. Eric and other friends had already returned to their home. The three of us were only left. When we were about to return, James suddenly asked something to Jenny. He asked her if she would come alongside him to study together at London. I was shocked after hearing that. If she would go with him then I would be alone again. And I didn't want that to happen. I felt awkward too. I couldn't bear to listen all that so I decided to run away from there as fast as I could. I made an excuse over heading home. They insisted me to stay with them a little longer but I refused. I still don't know what came in my mind and why I reacted like that. If she would accept his idea to go with him then I would be heart broken. And I didn't want that.
