Returning to a Ghost School
Going back to school felt really empty today.
Yes, I got to see a few of my friends again, but it was such fleeting contact that it didn't feel very satisfying at all. Yes, there were loads of people around, but there are so many unfamiliar faces now that it might as well be empty to me. I never took the time to get to know very many of the underclassmen (--I sort of still don't want to, so I'm at fault for this) so that with the upperclassmen gone now, it feels like I've been plunged into a different school.
It was sort of felt like waking up from a bad dream and then realizing you weren't dreaming after all. I walked into first period expecting to sit down and listen to Eric chatting with Frau. After a few minutes, Kellen and the rest of the Corner Crew would start to chat. But the corner was left empty until the very last few minutes of class.
After lunch, I found myself buzzing with anticipation to meet Kevin and babble about the summer's happenings and see the ones I've always admired from afar and dared not talk to. I'm really, really happy for them that they're out of here and on to better things, but I'd never realized exactly what that meant until now. All the figures I'd admired are gone now. I hope this doesn't drag down the quality of our orchestra... a lot of our first few arcs are gone due to scheduling conflict with AP Calc BC. "/
Um. I guess what I'm trying to say is: I MISS YOU, CLASS OF 2009. TT___TT Have fun in college!
