Unexpected Friendship

^-^

When the game ended, the score was 108 : 106.

It was very close, by a mere 2 points, but his team still won.

It was an amazing night.

Until she ran up to him and gave him a big hug.

I left with the crowd.

On the last day of seventh grade, I walked to his locker again, and he was there, alone.

I invited him to my birthday party, again.

And again, I was rejected. In a nice way, of course.

But it still hurts.

Because...

He was going to the movies with her that day.

I only had one year left.

I had to use it well.

—

Eight grade.

My last year of middle school.

His too.

And hers.

And my last chance.

But I didn't even get to try.

All I knew was...

On the day before school started, it happened.

It was on the front page of several different newspapers for a week straight.

Then after that...it was just like the society forgot about it.

But I could never forget that day, on the first day of school, when my friend silently handed me a newspaper.

I was confused, at first. She'd never been the reading type, and we've never really read 

newspapers...

But I looked at the headline...

'CAR COLLISION KILLS A FAMILY OF 4'
