I got a part time job for the time being and been saving some cash. My life always has twists and turns in it so I save money for a rainy day. Like when my car just died yesterday. I bought myself a black Hummer, I paid in full completely brand new.

I picked up my girlfriend and drove us to school. She got in and kissed me. We arrived early because she likes to smoke out back with her friends and It gave me time to get my extra credit and school work packets to finish early since I will be graduating 2 months earlier then the others. I decided to do all my Literature this morning because the writing prompts are simple and It got easier because I learned well how to pretend. 

I hand in my papers and my teacher smiled at me. "I'm so proud of you and thank you for serving our country." I smile. "I haven't done it yet." She laughs and shakes her head. School was actually about to begin so I started to walk to homeroom. I was pulled from all the classes Ryan  was in so I barely saw him. I was slowly forgetting about him and that's what I wanted.

He hurt me and he knows it but I'll leave it at that. 

2 Months go by~

I graduate in 3 days. I'm so ready for this and I worked hard for my honor. The Marshall is going to present my formal uniform and the country flag at my graduation to make it official. I studied over and over again on my entrance speech on my devotion to the military. I also learned how to pose in a still posture and how to not show emotion in my face because in every military photo my family was in, they never smiled or showed emotion so that's how I have to be.

It was super crowded in the hallway and I started to panic. To many people are around. Someone bumped into me hard and I hit the locker. He turns around to look at me. Time just stopped when I saw him. Its been months since we last saw each other. He had dark bags under his eyes, he was pale, and super thin. I hope he hasn't been giving in to his eating disorder urges- What am I saying, why do I even care!?

I regained my posture and looked emotionless. "S-Sorry.."  He weakly spoke. He quickly walks away and I never saw him again after that.
