A (not so) Normal Life of Best Friends

Chapter 19: Anxiety, Relationships, and Struggles

Evelyn Valentine

It happened last year, a whole year after we met in Sixth Grade. I was a bit shorter than I am now, but she was always taller than me. I was walking through the halls, being crushed by everyone as always. I finally managed to push through, though I didn't expect someone to also be heading into my direction until I saw her, SLAM! I didn't even realize where I was until I saw my chin was right on someone's stomach. That's when I saw her head rise, and she stared at me. I turned completely red, but couldn't say anything, from how embarrassed I was. I felt frozen as everyone stared at us, I was starting to shake from how nervous I was getting as I bolted up and ran into the bathroom hiding in the stall. I ran into the same girl I had bumped into last year, Luna Eclip. Her name is probably based on the Eclipse, cause that's exactly what it sounds like. She reminds me of the moon though, beautiful at night, not as often seen in the day. I have heard some people call her Solar just because of her last name. Though I don't really understand how she became so popular. But, she is really pretty and my heart beats a lot around her. As I walked out of the bathroom, I bumped into her again. "Are you ok?", she asked me, holding her hand out. Her hair dropped past her shoulders as she bent down, it was black with white tips at the end. She looks so beautiful and I can't help but blush! I wanna say something, but I don't know what. I took her hand and she pulled me up with a smile on her face, but I was too nervous to respond. Now, you might be wondering why she's pissed at me, or how "Last Time" went, now that we're in High School and that was because of one of the school dances. She thought I was trying to cheat on her, when I was actually being surrounded by girls with no way to move toward her. I always try to tell her, but she never listens to me. I just feel so worthless for how I couldn't do anything. I DIDN'T TRY HARD ENOUGH, I NEVER DO! WHY CAN'T I DO ANYTHING RIGHT LIKE THE WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT I AM?!
