I sat under the crabapple tree, holding my hands out to catch the falling blossoms. Year Nine was coming to an end, which meant an entire summer without Will or Roanna. Ro and I had each other’s mobile numbers and were friends on Facebook, but Will’s school email was the only way I knew to keep in touch with him.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfGTA0vBdS

The thought of three months with Dad and The Stepmother and without Will pressed on my chest.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyBSMsSsDh

It took me a moment to realize Will was watching me. I scrambled to my feet, standing before him with pink blossoms still gathered in my hands.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEC0QfhaE6

“Why didn’t you say anything?” I asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONcKGNJqzd

He smiled and took a blossom from my hand, tucking it behind my ear. “You look so lovely.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX8l9IY61u

I cleared my throat, unused to hearing such compliments and fished for a new subject. Lewis Choi walked by in a TARDIS-blue shirt reading, “Trust me, I’m the Doctor.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IC0sjx6jc

I gestured to the white t-shirt and black pants Will always seemed to wear. “Is that all you own?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ywlu8J57m

He looked down and plucked at his shirt. “All my clothing is like this.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbqiBdkrrK
826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9bWH79qml
“Why’s that?” I said, half-joking. “Some sort of uniform?”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFbGh1kxwk

He nodded and grinned. “Exactly.”826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUVSkEgVW6
