You’re Mine by Penny Brooks

Chapter 187

Harper

“Oh my God, I don't want to be here” Sadie groans, leaning her head on my shoulder.

I pat the top of her head.

“Only a couple more weeks, and then it's over forever.” “No more high school,” Ryan adds as he joins us.

We're standing in front of our lockers, waiting for the bell to ring to start our day.

One of our last days of high school.

This moment is totally surreal.

“It just feels so pointless, going to class.

We're graduating in mere days.

Why do we even have to be here?"

Sadie goes to stand beside Ryan, sliding her arms around him and resting her head on his chest.

"I have a suggestion—let's ditch.” “We can't ditch, Ryan says, kissing her hair.

"If they catch us, no grad trip for us.” “And you're not missing out on that,” I warn her.

“I cant go to Disneyland without you.

Who will go on the Peter Pan ride with me?” “I'm your Tinkerbell.” Sadie smiles, pressing her lips against Ryan's chest before she lets him go and takes a step back to stand next to me, bumping her shoulder against mine.

“It's going to be so epic.” "What's going to be epic?"

Easton asks, coming right in between us and sliding his arms around mine and Sadie’s shoulders.

It warms my heart that my boyfriend is so good to my best friend.

Yes, sometimes they have their moments but for the most part, they get along.

And I love it.

"Senior grad night,” Sadie tells Easton.

“Disneyland, here we come.” “Only a few more days,” I sing song, extra excited.

“You told him, right?” Sadie asks, glancing over at Easton.

His brows draw together as he turns to me.

"Told me what?” “We've...never been to Disneyland before,’ I admit.

Easton glances over at Ryan.

"For real?” Ryan nods.
