A (not so) Normal Life of Best Friends

Chapter 45: Contemplating the Past

Kyrie Hayden

I've started thinking back to the past ever since this whole adventure started and I don't know how to feel. Especially, with all that's been happening throughout it. When the school year started, I did have feelings for Evelyn, but when I saw Phoenix, all my memories from then came rushing into my head. I'm not saying I don't wanna be friends with Evelyn anymore, we're very good friends to be exact. When I met Phoenix, she was different from now, not only her hair, but because of her personality. The first day we met, she was calm and actually seemed scared of almost everything around her. Now, she's come to terms with her anger and dyed her hair. It went from Blonde to Red, Orange, and Yellow as these are the colors of fire. I can tell she uses a type of conditioner, because everytime I hug her from behind or she gets shoved into me, I can feel her hair against my face and it's so fluffy! I always had a feeling that she was different than some of the other girls during the beginning of Sixth Grade. Usually, she'd tried to interact with the other girls, though they'd ignore her, but now she's only stuck with me. It wasn't till a month or two ago that she confessed to having feelings for me, which I accepted, she made me feel safe. When it comes to talking to others, I talk to Scout more often than I do for Evelyn and Phoenix does the same for talking to Evelyn more than she does with Scout. We both equally talk to Alex though showing us that she gives the best bear hugs. Phoenix has been known to act more masculine, but it doesn't really bother any of us that much. She's quite muscular as I've walked in on her working out sometimes. Everytime, she just turns around and jumps whenever I enter and wait. She doesn't have music on so I don't know how she doesn't hear her own door opening. I find it really cute, whenever she jumps, she squeaks instead of screaming. One time, she didn't even notice until Aeliana opened the door louder than I did. Evelyn and Scout usually have their own Boys Night where they go over to each other's houses to hang out. It doesn't bother Me, Phoenix, or Alex though. We just have our own girls night, where we basically do the same thing. I wear Pajamas and Alex chooses to wear a nightdress, we don't judge, it's her choice. Phoenix decides to sleep in her own clothes, she just likes to. We watch movies and share stories and even do each other's hair in different styles, since we have different types of hair. Mine is straight, Phoenix just has a ton of hair, and Alexs is long and curly. My Friends are the people that really help me get through school, even in bad times, we can make it through anything, even this going on right now. Except, I still have someone from the past that I always think about.
