Bash

~15~

I got her home in record timing, dropping her off I go home. Back to snooping June's profile I guess, wait huh? I can view her profile anymore, she block me? That's very weird, but I guess maybe she doesn't want to be over crowded with things she doesn't want to see.

***

The end of the day comes again, and I'm walking next to Stacey instead of the guys today. I wanted to make offical between her and I and show her off to the entire school. It was working until 7th hour when Stacey became really cold, I don't know what's up with her. "Hey Mikey, can I give you a fair warning about someone?"

Smiling I grab her hand, "Anything for you my dear." She jerked her hand away and sighed, "Never mind, she's not there. I don't need to give you a warning about anything. I love you and I'll see you after school babe!" She was off after that, I smile looking like a real idiot because of how head over heals I am about her.

Hearing the bell ring, I walk into the 7th hour class not seeing June in there. That's very odd, she seems like one of those people who wouldn't be late to anything and if so, she'd have a very good reason behind it. "Alright class, it seems that we are missing June so projects will be moved to tomorrow." I sighed soft remembering I never even started on mine because June was making a picture of me. I guess I should start now that I have the time, still I wonder where June could be..

Shaking my head I decided to look for her, I'm kind of worried now even if I have only known her for a day. "Excuse me sir, may I use the bathroom?" With the nod of the teacher's head, I got up and went to go and look for June. I'm sure she came to school today, she has to be here today. If I were June where would I hide, where teachers wouldn't care. Getting an idea, I go to the music wing remembering that she was very talented in music. "J..June?"

Being scared wasn't sure who would be here, it made me worry a bit because I didn't want to be caught by a teacher here. "Who's here, are you here for a lesson?" Shit, a teacher heard me, by the sounds of it, it sounded like a male. Trying all of the locked doors I frown, well here goes my never being caught deal. "No sir, I'm trying to look for someone who might be here." Seeing the man come out of his office, he was tall and kind of lanky looking, sort of like your everyday hipster which is weird. Why would I think of a teacher like that, any teacher, eww. "Well who are you looking for?" gulping not knowing if he was going to do anything to me, "I'm looking for a girl by the name of June?" The teacher's face lit up like a christmas tree, "Oh yes! You must be a friend of her's I can show you where she is."

Walking kind of peppy now he leads me to the back of the auditorium where I could hear some singing and a guitar. Wow, she is good, "June you have a visitor!" and with that the goofy teacher left, the guitar stopped. "Wow, didn't know I had friends.." She didn't see me yet, I was on the side that seemed like her blind side, "Nicole, if that's you please don't scare me, I'm ready to pounce on you if you scare me." I chuckled, "It isn't Nicole," I came out of the curtains, "it's Michael, but I would be flattered if I were Nicole though." Her face seemed shocked but relieved at the same time, "Oh, hey Michael, didn't think you came to the music wing at all. I thought only losers knew about this place."

"Then you must be one cool loser June, because I don't think that losers can do as much as you can or hold much talent." She started to blush, then looked away from me. "Oh come on, you must be joking about that." Shaking my head, I walk to her, "No I mean it, I saw what talent you had on your wall before you blocked me. Speaking of which, why did you friend me then block me?"

June trembled a bit, still keeping her back to me, "There are reasons I would rather not explain." She put her guitar down on the stand and started to walk off, I ran to her not wanting her to walk away from me. Stopping her from behind, I spun her around seeing she had a black eye and some bruising to her forearms. "What the fuck happened to you?" She gave off a sigh, "I shouldn't even be talking to you, why are you here right now?" Rolling my eyes I look at her, "I'm here because I worried about you, why you weren't in class. I do care for friends, or just people in general because, well I just do." She jerked out of my grasp I had on her, "Well you should stop, I don't want to cause you harm."

She ran off the stage, I tried to follow her. I feel like I've done this before with her, but when? I can't help but feel as if this is something I should remember, if so where would she go? The staircase, she has to be there, if not then it must have been someone else that I use to do this with.

Running to the staircase, she was there, she was crying into herself. "June..?" She looked up at me and gave me this horrifying stair, "Why do you care so much, I am someone to be forgotten about, I'm a loner, a nobody if you please." I crawl next to her, then I hug her from the side, "I don't think you're a nobody, I think you are a somebody that has talent off the wazoo, and if I remember correctly you are quite beautiful." She lays her head on my arm crying, "So you remember me after all?" I sigh looking down on her, "I'm sorry that I forgot June, I guess I got caught up when we hit 9th grade."

I remembered now, she was my best friend, she was always there for me when I needed someone. June was there no matter what and I left her all alone, I guess I couldn't have been there for her. "It's fine, you moved on and I was holding you back so to say. You were trying to live a life while I was trying to live in a moment, a moment where you and I never stopped talking but I guess that wouldn't have happened if I wouldn't have gone off by myself." Closing my eyes, I smile, "Just because I was trying to live doesn't mean I wasn't dying without you in my life."

June looks at me with the biggest smile on her face and cuddled me, it was a rebirth of a friendship that I thought that I'd lost somewhere in the mix of high school. I have my June back, my everlasting summer, but now I worry because Stacey. I'll just explain everything to her, I'm just happy again.
