We are finally going back home. I couldn't tell you that I had the best time there since all the good times were overshadowed by the other things I wish didn't happen. But in the morning we pile on the bus and head back home for school the next day. When we get back home Mrs. Blake is waiting for us in the kitchen. When we walk into the room she's on us in a second. "My babies are home!" she exclaims. I giggle and Tristan beside me rolls his eyes.
When she lets go of us Tristan steps back and says, "Jeez mom, we've only been gone for a week."
She waves him off. "Oh please, I want as much time as I can get with you guys before you go off to college." Her eyes light up. "Which reminds me, both of your acceptance letters have come in!" Both Tristan and I lighten up at the words.
