Oliver looked at Cynthia. Looked at Cynthia kissing Jake. Needless to say Oliver was hurt .He had gone through a lot and he had learnt the art of stopping tears from escaping his eyes. So he didn't cry on the outside but on the inside he was wailing. He was an emotional wreck on the inside.

He turned away.

"Life is never going to be okay" he said to himself and smirked.

He started walking slow at first, then slowly increased speed. He left the soccer ground and sat on the side of the road and unable to control, he broke down to tears. The tears moved with fury down his cheeks. It fell on his shirt.

"No one is left alone when I'm around "Casey said as she sat next to Oliver.

Meghan came and sat next to Oliver on the other side. She didn't say anything but she didn't have to for Oliver to understand. Meghan was like a rock. She never left. She was always there for anyone. She would be there but she never got attached to anyone. She knew when, what and how to talk.

Casey on the other hand was a very mean person on the outside but on the inside she cared for people. Well.....she didn't care for people but she cared for her friends. A lot. She cared for the people who didn't leave. She cared for the people who care for her. And when those people left, she broke down. She had a theory that people who didn't leave can accept the amount of freakiness in her. Meghan and Casey had been friends since the sixth grade. Meghan was the strength in Casey's life. They loved each other as friends. Casey overthought every decision she made. Casey and Meghan were the best of friends.

Cynthia was a fool. Cynthia thought that Meghan thought of Cynthia as her best friend but Meghan was only a listening ear for Cynthia because she was a listener.

Gabrielle and Brandon came and sat in front of us. Brandon was his own moody self. Brandon has these spikes that never went down. He was always ecstatic but he wasn't mature and he was simply a kid in the mind. Gabrielle's life was just music and that was one thing that was one of the things that Oliver and Gabrielle could talk about all the time.

Well we were all sitting there when I realised that maybe these people were who I should really care about. People who I didn't know too well but maybe these were those people, the ones who are supposed to be cared about.

I looked at these people who were sitting with me and I muttered a few words: "Why did you choose me over Cynthia?"

"Because we care for people who are good and not the superficial and pretentious people like" Meghan said and she cocked her head to the approaching couple-Cynthia and Jake.

"Hey guys, guess what?" Cynthia said as she approached us. "Jake just asked me out on a date."

"Oh that's good. I'm happy for you "I said "and I'm not being sarcastic." I added.

"Dude!" Casey said "Meow, whoosh you are so whipped." she continued making a whip motion.

"And anyways who are you?" Meghan asked Cynthia.

"Oh I think I know the answer!" Brandon said flailing his arms.

"Oh me too" said Gabrielle. "Who are you thinking of? "Gabrielle asked.

"A lying old piece of scum." Brandon said with a wide toothed grin.

"I was thinking about that too. "Casey said.

Cynthia started at us. A tear escaped her eyes and then she turned away and ran. Jake looked at us for a second and then he looked at me with the same magnitude of rage brimming in his eyes the day he first broke up with Cynthia in the canteen.

The day that was filled with hope for me. The day that was filled with despair for Cynthia.

And then Jake went after Cynthia. We laughed hysterically once he left. Maybe I do have friends now. I smiled to myself.
