for the past 3 weeks my mother had been acting strange. she told me repeatedly to keep the second week of the holidays free, to try not to work and get all my work done in the first week of our holidays. i explained patiently that i was in year 12 and that constant study was obligatory, but she was not convinced.
at the same time, michaela was being weird about our postal service. "you'll get your present on saturday" she said. "oh no, we don't get mail on saturday" i reminded her, but she insisted "i'll text you on saturday when you get your present".
i was confused.
last saturday, cole and katie had spent the night and cole eventually left around 4pm to go to church.
i went to my room and studied until 9pm, sulking more and more as the evening progressed until i eventually got called downstairs by my parents. to my disgust, mum just wanted to ask me if i was studying hard. "YES MUM. STUDYING HARD UNTIL YOU CALL ME DOWNSTAIRS".
then rebecca, my little sister, came in and told me to answer the front door. my response was something of a frustrated groan and a "answer your own door", but i did it.
through the weird artistic glass pattern i could see someone small and blonde. i wouldn't have suspected, but katie and cole had discussed at length what my "surprise" could have been the night before, and the possibility of michaela coming to visit had been discussed.
so i opened the door, and there before me stood my tiny blonde beautiful amazing wonderful best friend, having flown from New Zealand just to visit me. the oh-so-eloquent first words out of my mouth
"what the fuck".
and so commenced the greatest week of holidays i have ever had.
for 7 days we walked, shopped, talked, laughed and ate. michaela was everything i could have hoped she would be, and then some.
oh and we got friendship lockets. yes, we are 10 years old.
oh and we camwhored
she left yesterday evening. i'm going to see her in 7 weeks and 3 days. i'm fucking excited. michaela coney is the greatest ever. i wish you could all have met her but we ran out of time so fast D:
