The rest of the week was basically consisting of me avoiding Archie and trying not to avoid Nathan. Since we are partners on this project I should at least try to be his actual friend, right? i have finally realized how much we didn't communicate. It's not like I did it on purpose, he seemed like a nice guy. it was like when he stood next to us I didn't even notice him. He was like a ghost and I was the only one that couldn't see him.
Now that we are "acquaintances" so to speak, I do notice him. He is also apparently in my first hour. I don't think i could name one person in that class, knowing that I fall asleep on a daily basis in that class. the intercom boomed throughout the classroom as our principal started talking.
"Hello highschoolers. This day, is the day you have all been waiting for, we are telling you the theme of our Junior and Senior prom!" he shouted. By this time everyone was listening, even me. "It is... under the sea!" he yelled. That is the most cliche thing I have ever heard.
"Also our spring break is next week so that means grades need to be put in so everyone turn in your work!" he almost demanded. I was lost in my own thought bubble for basically the rest of morning announcements. After class I was bombarded by Willow and Henry.
"Oh my gosh you will not believe what AMAZING idea Willow came up with, Willow tell her." he pushed. I rolled my eyes at his giddiness.
"Okay, okay. So, you know how none of us are going on spring break? Well, i thought we should all go on a road trip! We could stop in Atlanta, Tennessee, then we could go all the way to Florida or where ever I don't care." She said skipping with me to my locker.
"Actually that sounds like a good idea" I said finally. "But what if my parents don't let me?"
"They will, trust me." all three of us walked to our next class that we have together.

In the middle of class someone passed me a note.
Have you heard anything about the essay
for the scholarship that we both signed up for?
willow
Oh no I totally forgot how badly she wanted that scholarship...
Flashback
"Miss. Peterson please sit down." He said not very intimidating I must admit.
I plopped down and picked at my fingernails staring intently at the broad man in front of me.
"Don't worry you're not in trouble, I just wanted to talk to you about your paper that you wrote in English." He stated. I breathed out finally.
"I wanted to ask your permission to enter it into the contest, we think you are a great candidate and you could get a scholarship and-"
"Mr. Hershwell there is someone here to see you." Interrupted the blonde secretary.
"Ok, what do you say Amelia?" He asked.
"Um sure, whatever" I said standing up.
"Great I'll tell you the details tomorrow!" He escorted me out and I walked back to my class
I quickly scribbled down a "no" on the paper and left it at that.

When I got home i grabbed a snack and threw my back pack on the ground. I quickly pulled out my phone to see 10 text messages from Archie. Ugh. All of them basically telling me that the party is this saturday and I needed something to wear. Great, now I have to ask my parents if I can go to a party AND go on spring break with just my friends. This will turn out great.
My mom got home a couple minutes after I did and asked the usual questions like. "how was school" or "did you learn anything new" which I usually shrug my shoulders at, but today I needed to get on her good side, so I went into full detail. Then after that I told my mom I needed to talk to her.
"Sure what is it honey?" she asked sitting down on the couch.
"Well there is two things." I said sitting down next to her. "One is, I was wondering if I could go to a party this saturday?" i asked expectantly.
"Yeah sure, as long as you are home early-ish" she chuckled to herself.
"Okay! Thanks!" I said. "The next question was, um, well Willow had this idea and said that maybe a few of us could take a road trip for spring break next week." I said hesitantly.
"I mean you are a senior... I will have to talk to your dad but I think that will be fine." she said smiling at me. "Who would be going?" she asked.
"Um, probably just Willow, Henry, maybe Nathan and I." I told her.
"Okay! Well, i"ll tell you by tonight." she hugged me and walked into the laundry room and started folding clothes.
-----
Later that night I called Willow and asked if she could go shopping tomorrow after school. She was hesitant but she finally gave in. Also my parents said no... but honestly I think I'm going to go anyway.
