Hey guys! I know I have way too many stories going at the same time, and I know I will regret starting a new fic, but I needed to write down this idea. I'd regret it either way. This is just a 'Blue Water High' reunion fic, since I noticed no one has written one! It has no relevance to my other BWH story, 'Your Anything', so don't worry.
Please read and review!
Love Rhyleigh xoxox
Perri
"This is the last time we'll be together. Ever. I know it's corny, but I thought we could all step into the future together".
"It is corny..."
"Corn's my middle name!"
"I think it's a great idea!"
"Come on, everyone hold hands!"
"I don't think I wanna-"
"Come on!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
The seven best friends, holding hands tighter than they ever had before, had taken a leap out of the surf club doors, relying on each other to catch them. They had been through so much during that past twelve months- both laughter and tears had floated around the boarding house. Heartbreak and homesickness- but they stuck it out. All seven of them, vowing to be friends until the end of time.
Eight years later, however, Perri Lawe was left wondering what had happened to their friendship.
She was curled up on her big lounge, seeming buried under cushions and pillows. She had earned a lot after her modelling career took off, and releasing albums made it even better. But, she wasn't everything she appeared in the interviews.
Solar Blue Surfing Academy had been her home for a year, and that was where she had earned the six best friends anyone could ask for. She missed the sarky remarks from Bec Sanderson, she missed Anna Peterson's quirky little antics, and she missed Fly Watson's sweet smile.
She missed Heath Carroll and his cheeky grin, she missed Dean Edgely and his sun-streaked shaggy locks, and she missed the kindness of Matt Leyland.
Perri had woken up every day to find Bec in the opposite bed, Anna and Fly in the next room and the boys down the hall. She had awoken to the blasting of the several alarm clocks, and Simmo shrieking, "Rise and shine, my little jelly babies! Up and at 'em!"
The board shed was packed, and the washing line was constantly full of their swimmers, rashies, boardies and towels. They'd walk along the beach to school, studying on the pool table and doing their homework.
It was the glossy, five by seven print on her table that hurt the most. All seven of the/m looked so deliriously happy. Smiles taking over their face. Matt's eyes were shining, Heath was laughing and Edge was shaking his head at something someone had said. Fly's hair was crazy, and Bec was grinning, Anna laughing at whatever Heath was laughing at- his laugh had always been infectious. Perri, on the other hand, was just grinning, happy to be with her friends that cared.
They had vowed never to lose contact, to stay together no matter what. That hadn't happened. Perri had seen Matt and Fly once in the entire eight years since they left Solar Blue, and that was because she thought she would be polite and drop in to see Simmo while she was in Sydney. Nothing had happened after that- they had gone back to leading their separate lifestyles.
Sighing, Perri turned the photo around, pushing it deeper into her memory banks. Eight years had passed since that day, and it wasn't worth dwelling over.
