Walking to the same high school never gets old. To think in 2 years I would be in college now.
...
...
It's weird though, my friend Amy should've been here by now. She always seems to be outside my house whenever I'm ready to go to school and yet she isn't here.
Well... I'll just go to school on my own I guess.
"Maybe she's in school already."
Eh, I can tell her the important stuff later anyways.
[At School]
I just got into the school shoe locker area. There are still some students here, seniors and juniors alike.
"Hmm... Hmmm... Hmm..."
I was just changing my shoes when I felt someone hug me from behind.
???: "H-Hey Will...!"
"...?!"
Geez... I wish she would stop doing this. It's really weird and awkward. I turned my head to look behind me.
"H-Hey... Amy..."
I close my shoe locker.
"I didn't see you this morning."
Amy: "I-I just..."
I don't think Amy knows about this but she stutters a lot whenever she lies.
Amy: "W-Woke up late..."
I break our hug as it got too weird for me. I then turn around and put my hands on her shoulders.
Amy: "!"
She blushes slightly. Whenever she needs to lie it's either to hide something that's meant to be said for me to actually help her.
"Amy."
She doesn't ask for help though, I would need to talk her out of her shell first.
Amy: "...!" She looks at me nervously.
"What actually happened?"
Amy: "I-I told you! It's nothing!"
Maybe it's her again...
"Is it Alyssa again?"
Amy: "N-No..."
It's definitely her.
"I think it's time for me to talk to her instead Amy."
Amy: "You don't have to..."
She looks away.
"Look me in the eyes and tell me."
She looks at my face slowly.
"Are you sure?"
Amy: "Y-Yes."
"Hmm..."
I'm not really convinced though.
"Alright, but let me take you to your classroom just in case."
I start walking but she doesn't follow.
