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.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBuZZ2dHGP

The thought of three months with Dad and The Stepmother and without Will pressed on my chest.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLSqJrBfv5

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.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs3SlhP8y0

“Why didn’t you say anything?” I asked.817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3X6EjqJ73

He smiled and took a blossom from my hand, tucking it behind my ear. “You look so lovely.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVbvrsd0sr

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.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL49365ZeoJ

I gestured to the white t-shirt and black pants Will always seemed to wear. “Is that all you own?”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM04VymjhPR

He looked down and plucked at his shirt. “All my clothing is like this.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQhfG8bbrY
817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FkdB20jf0
“Why’s that?” I said, half-joking. “Some sort of uniform?”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5wpGU5Hvq

He nodded and grinned. “Exactly.”817Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fewzy5yKN
