Somehow, weeks go by. Without anyone really noticing. In February is her birthday. She's hated it for years. But I still get her a bear, and say happy birthday. Cause it's what friends do. Her friend Lila, screamed happy birthday every time she saw Lex. It was really funny.

I saw her and Dominick talking durning study hall. No I'm not stalking her. I was on my way to the bathroom and happened to notice them. He gave her a little box. I swear to god, if he got her a ring, I'm killing him now.

On the bus ride home I don't see any ring. "So how was your birthday?" I ask.

"Not bad. Not great, but not bad."

"What'd you get?"

"The bear from you, a card from Lila, and a neckless from... someone." She answers.

"Dominick?" I ask.

"Yes. But don't be mad. I didn't wanna bring him up. I'm sorry." She say, so fast.

"It's fine. Can I see it?"

"Sure." She pulls it out from her shirt. It's a little sliver heart. It's beautiful and looks perfect on her.

"Nice." I say. She gives me a small smile, then goes back to her book.
