*flashback*


"so are you excited for your first day at highschool Hun?" I looked away from my mother
"no" I mumbled .

"Oh it won't be that bad sweetie " she laughed and dragged me over the next glowing blue tank filled with fish

"dad was suppose to take me tomorrow " I mumbled bitterly . I watched the ray of colours flash before me against the turquoise background .

"Wendy I'm really sorry okay? I don't know where he is ..." She sighed . I rolled my eyes . I bet she did know , I bet she even helped him pack his bags . Why my father had left me and Holly bewelidered me , everything was fine then we come home and all of his stuff was gone , including him .

i shrugged my hand away from mom and ran , my hair waving behind me . I had never liked crying infront of people , I always felt an aching of ashame inside of me . Mom was used to it now , and didn't even bother to call for me .

I kept running until I found an abandoned spot , not a person insight . I stopped at the furthest corner of the room , the meeting of the end of the tank of jellyfish and the deep blue wall . I slid down and clutched my knees in a hug .

I was sick of never having any answers anymore . I was sick of all the pressure pushing me down like this . I wasn't ready to grow up , because I had nobody by my side to pick me up when I fell . I wanted a get away , a place where no rules bounded me to this path . Like neverland , a land of the free and fun . That's where I needed to be .


"are you okay?" I looked up to see a boy , probably around my age , with a pity ful smile on his face . His brown orbs focusing on me

"I'm great , just peachy if you couldn't see " I snarled with no pure intension , I was just angry


"my - my dad left , he didn't even say goodbye ..." I finally mumbled he slid down the remaining wall next to me and copied my position . The boys smile fell slightly , but still remained . I jumped a little when he rested his hand on my shoulder , an odd feeling tingling there .

"Hey , everything's gonna be okay , uh ?"
"Wendy" I murmured
"Yeah well , everything's going to be alright Wendy , I swear " he nodded and took his hand away from me .

he stood up and brushed down his jeans a most of dust falling off them . He held his hand out to me . I took it wearily and hoisted my self up and brushed down my dress .

"Thanks "

"Alex " he smiled .

---

I felt intimidated by the amount of people in the room . I had
They leaned over their desks chatting and giggling to who I could only assume where their friends . I had yet to make any friends .

I shuffled my way past them whispering an excuse me ever so often until I reached the back of the room , I slid into my seat right next to the large window . I lowered my bag before rummaging through it for my pencil case and notebook . After I bowed my head . Staring down at my shaking (and rather clammy ) hands .

Calm down

" hey uh sir said I have to sit here " Godammit , of course someone had to sit next to me . I nodded not even daring to look at them . It was a boy for sure , his voice wasn't squeaky like all the other girl's .

Out of curiosity I peeked through my hair to look at the boy .

"It's you ?" I coughed and pulled away my hair . It was him aquarium boy , Alex .

"Hm ? , oh my god , I didn't even know you were starting here ! It's Wendy right ?" He flashed his Hollywood smile at me and twisted his body to face me properly .

"Yeah" I sat up more , my nerves washing away . His grin widened as I revealed my face .

"So uh do you want to stick together today ? Like in break and stuff , it's fine if you don't want to-" he rushed
"no no , it's fine ." I returned a smile .

"Cool , so uh what do you have after this ?"
"history with mr Dalls , you?"
"Same " he winked . I had made a friend , an actual friend . Someone who I could hang out with . I was thrilled .


*end of flashback*


i looked over to Alex , who was holding up Jasey on his shoulders and pointing at all the rainbow of fish . But I was almost certain we were both tracing our memories. The day we first met here . jack and Holly wernt far behind us , I could hear their laughs and gasping for air .

Mum always seemed to be working now , meaning any time I wanted to go out , Jasey had to tag along . Alex and jack insisted they were fine with it but I doubted that . I had begged Stella to join us too , turns out her and zack arranged something themselves , which I thought was cute .

"UNDER DA SEA UNDER THE SEA !!!!!" Holly and Jack screamed , every head turning to them in the aquarium
"HOLLY SHUT UP!" I growled glaring at her . She smirked and her and jack only screamed louder .

"UNDER DA SEA !!!" Jasey joined in and wiggled on Alex's shoulders
"Jasey no! Stop !" I warned but the three terrors continued .

"DARLING ITS BETTER , DOWN WHERE ITS WETTER TAKE IT FROM ME !!!" I sighed as Alex yelled . Why why why . Adults were giving us disgusted looks as their children begged to sing along . I could feel fire on my cheeks , burning them crimson .

"Come on Wendy !" Alex nudged me with a wink . For some reason I remembered what he had said . Where's the old Wendy ? The old Wendy would have started this whole singing along , the old Wendy would be standing on the bench dancing and singing .


"UP ON THE SHORE THEY WORK ALL DAY OUT IN YHE SUN THEY SLAVE AWAY

WHILE WE DEVOTING
FULL TIME TO FLOATING

UNDER THE SEA!!! " I let go of that anchor keeping me down , I jumped up onto the bench , stamping my feet and wiggling my hips as I belted out the last few lines . I felt free young and wild . For once in my life I didn't need to act like an adult , for once I felt like a lost child of neverland .


i was back to old Wendy

and I rather liked her ....

Notes

Anyways , how yal doing on this fine day , I say fine right now in London were in a storm , brilliant .

Thank you you for reading and stay rad
