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.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12QkoVwzs3

The thought of three months with Dad and The Stepmother and without Will pressed on my chest.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa4nUOk6h9

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.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ690NArbjb

“Why didn’t you say anything?” I asked.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdanwK1grbk

He smiled and took a blossom from my hand, tucking it behind my ear. “You look so lovely.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB1ZRy4RcI

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.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJjMi5ZSfH

I gestured to the white t-shirt and black pants Will always seemed to wear. “Is that all you own?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcJGH7Beez

He looked down and plucked at his shirt. “All my clothing is like this.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1QxUqTeTO
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5BZDvTqe5
“Why’s that?” I said, half-joking. “Some sort of uniform?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi1wNJCJcR

He nodded and grinned. “Exactly.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmoFz8xAW7
