Who: Cori and OPEN What: Last day of school When: End of the day Where: Hallway of WHA Status: Incomplete
Cori stood at her locker with her backpack propped open between her leg and the locker wall. All of her books were turned in and her finals were all handed in and completed. The only thought running through Cori's mind was, 'Thank G-d the school year is finally over.' There wasn't much left in her locker, as the contents were mostly in her backpack. But there were still a few medals from cross country and track on the door, as well as a few pictures of her family. She slowly started taking down each of the pictures, staring at each one as she stacked them up in the front pocket of her back pack.
The twins were each hanging up in the middle, with a picture of her Aunt Annie and Uncle Jacen right next to them. On the other side of the twins' picture was one of her Uncle Alfie, and above all three of those was a picture of her Nana and Pop. But at the top of all of them was a picture of her mom holding her, rocking her to sleep in a nursery as a baby.
She stared at the picture of her with her mom and stroked it with a finger. You could see the love that Lexie had for Cori radiating from her face in the picture and Cori smiled. Her gaze lingered on the picture long enough that Cori didn't notice a tear slide down her cheek or the person waiting at her locker for her. Eventually that person tapped her on the shoulder though, and Cori snapped out of it. She quickly wiped away the tear and stuffed the picture in with all of the others and then turned to see who was at her locker.
