Chapter 33 Ghost From The Past

• Monday, everyone was still talking about Prom Night and what a great after party they had. Pictures of the event were displayed at the school board, some of them will definitely make it to the yearbook. Charlene was unofficially dubbed as the prom princess since they didn't have the traditional ceremony of Prom King and Queen. The school didn't believe in awarding students for being handsome or pretty nor did they condone students in a small town like Bluebridge to compete in wearing extravagant outfits in any school events.
• Most students were talking about who was hooking up with whom at Prom, new couples emerged over the weekend. Mandy and Kayla wouldn't stop talking about the after party and what their friends did that night. Charlene enjoyed the stories, even though she felt a bit left out. She said goodbye to them after school because they were going home with their boyfriends, and she was going to enjoy her walk back home alone.
• It was a fine afternoon, not too sunny, just warm with the soft cool breeze of spring. She loved walking in that kind of weather, she thought of how much she was going to miss it once she started college. It would mean that walking back from school will never happen again for her, ever. Sometimes people took for granted the little things that felt so trivial, but after ten, twenty or thirty years, they could still remember the smell in the air, the cool breeze on their skin and the sound of their own footsteps at certain insignificant places, and found themselves missing it for no apparent reason. For Charlene, walking back from school was one of those things, she was savoring every moment of it because it will be one of the last.
