Best Friends

New Friends

KateLynn's POV:

    I decided to go to Sebastian's Park, the sight of our first date. I sat down under the same tree that had once served as our picnic spot. I closed my eyes as silent tears slid down my cheeks. It was a Monday, it was supposed to be the first day back at school after Christmas break. I thought about what Zayn was doing at his new school. I tried my hardest to silence my cries, but my whole body was shaking. I soon felt the presence of another body. I opened my eyes and saw Seth Flynn sitting next to me, staring out at nothing.

   "Ever wonder about what people in another place are doing? Like someone in New York, right now, what are they doing? Are they at school, like we're supposed to be, or are they ditching, like we are doing?" Flynn said, never looking at me. I thought about for a moment, before he spoke again, "He's gonna be okay, KateLynn." When he said this, he turned to face me. His green eyes never left mine for what felt like hours, but was only minutes. In those few, sweet minutes I knew Seth Flynn way more than I ever thought possible. He had his own shit going on, but he didn't care to sit here with me.

    Flynn and I hang out whenever we can. We don't really have any classes together this year, but I started sitting with him at lunch. Plus I'm always at the park when Letters plays. I've even been to his house, multiple times. I'm kind of Letters now. I'm the manager actually. I go to all of the practices and the parties. Flynn was there for me so much when Zayn left, I honestly don't think I can ever repay him.

   It's now March, and Zayn and I are slowly losing contact with each other. The time difference kills us and I'm busy with Letters. I think he has a new girlfriend now, or at least he's talking to someone. Her name's Shania, but everyone calls her Shay. Zayn used to talk about he, that's how I know they'll end up together. My heart still hurts and a lot of shit still reminds me of him, but it's slowly getting better.

   James is something else though. He asked me out two weeks after Zayn had left. I walked away, crying. Flynn found me and I told him what happened. The next day James wouldn't look at me and he apologized once. He hasn't talked to me since. I still take Drama, and I'm still the President, but I leave most of the work to Drake. I still hang with Maggie, Ali, Alyssa, Lacy, Nicole, Kristin, and Abby, but it is different. The majority of my time is spent Flynn and the boys. It's my Senior year though, and I'm determined to make it amazing, even without Zayn.
