I am no longer a BCS student, anymore. Today, I am officially a Tommen student, and unlike Shannon who was nervous on her first day, I could not be more excited.
I wouldn't have to see Ciara, Hannah, Grant or anyone else like that anymore, which was the good part about starting a new school.
It would be weird not seeing Catherine, Liam or Nicholas this morning, but the upside is that Shannon and I are going to the same school again. Claire and Lizzie will also be there, so that's a plus too.
And, obviously I'll see my boyfriend-that still sounds so weird to say-at school today, which is a big part of the reason why I am so excited.
Shannon and I have been up for at least two hours, and it's only just reached seven o'clock, and even though we probably should be dressed by now, but talking about our boyfriends was more important.
"Can we believe that we both have boyfriends?!" Shannon carries on, sitting cross legged across from me on her bed, "Like if you told me that we both are dating real life boys a year ago, I would call you insane."
"Tell me about it." I laugh, "And to think that ten year old me thought the only love in her life would be from the books I read at the library."
Shannon starts laughing, and goes quiet when the door opens. Joey walks in his black trousers and white school shirt.
"Hey." He greets, "How you feeling about school, Del?"
"Good." I replied, "Are you good?"
Joey nods, "Yeah, I'm grand."
His eyes look extremely tired, and he has dark circles in them. Him and Tadgh haven't been taking the news about dad being back and free in Ballylaggin very well.
"You can talk to us, Joe." Shannon smiles at him, "About anything."
"Yeah, I know.." Joey nods again, his eyes flick around the room before he looks back at us. "Oh, and Darren's making breakfast downstairs, he told me to come get you guys."
"Alright, we'll get dressed first, but then we'll come down." Shannon tells Joey, and he responds with an okay then leaves.
I hear his bedroom door open and close moments later.
Shannon and I get off her bed, and grab our school clothes from the wardrobe, which now that we are going to the same school, we have the same uniform again, so it probably won't take long for us to get clothes mixed up, and i'll be wearing her shirt, and she'll be wearing my skirt sooner or later.
I'm in the middle of doing my hair, when my phone starts ringing from beside me on the bathroom sink.
I peer down at the screen, to see who it is and when I see that it's Patrick, I smile and answer the call with my free hand, putting it on speaker.
