    You Were Right
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" I hate it when I have to admit when I'm wrong but I'll do it anyways, just don't rub it in my face as if it's salt to a wound. I'll bite you, again. "

~ Deb's POV ~

     "She looked angry during first period, I think we did a fantastic job."

  Ophelia informed me as she sat beside me in chemistry, I looked at her and chuckled before giving her a fist bump. When the person you want pissed off, is pissed off, it's like a trophy. Call it toxic or whatever, but it's good to get whatever you have in your system, out of your system.

   We decided not to tell Aurora or Winslow just in case something happens, we don't want other people involved and in trouble. I was a little stressed out with getting in trouble but I knew Marsha isn't a snitch, she's a bitch, but not s snitch. Gotta respect her for that.

   "You know, I've been thinking like crazy, and I think on the last day of school, we should hang out on the beach and drink, like, coffee or something, and just be glad we survived."

   I voiced, as I wrote down the notes that were on the white board, Ophelia looked at me and seemed as if she was thinking about the idea. Her eyebrows furrowed before her lips curled into a soft smile, before nodding her head.

   I've noticed that Ophelia changed, but in a good way, ever since we got to college. She's been more outgoing and willing to try things, it surprised me. Seeing these changes makes me glad we're best friends, not everyone stays best friends with their best friend from younger grades.

   "That seems great, and we can take a Polaroid photo of us, for the scrap book. It'll make a good memory."

   Ophelia added on, I nodded my head slowly before finishing up my notes. Hanging out with just Ophelia, made me realize how lucky I am to have a friend like her, she could have dumped me the minute she realized I wasn't as great as her. Except she didn't, and kept me around.

   Sometimes I feel misplaced whenever I'm around my friends, i don't understand some of the things they do, and I don't do the things they do, but they make me feel included. It made me feel like it'll be okay to be yourself, you don't have to be greater than everyone else to have friends.

   "I realized you haven't been boy crazy for the past few months, what's going on with you, Everything alright?"

   Ophelia suddenly asked me as she put her pen down and made eye contact with me, I only shrugged my shoulders. Should I feed her ego and tell her that she was right, boys are a waste of time and grades are what truly matter?

   As much as I wanted to lie to her and tell her that I no longer thought the boys here were attractive, I told her the truth. Chasing boys who won't even bat an eye towards me is a waste of time, and how I should've only been focused on my classes.

   " I hate it when I have to admit when I'm wrong but I'll do it anyways, just don't rub it in my face as if it's salt to a wound. I'll bite you, again. "

   I laughed, Ophelia laughed along with me before wrapping her arm around me.

   I felt safer with her, I guess it's because she's been my best friend for so long we feel like family. Ophelia was always the best friend that was right about everything, and I was the best friend who was almost always wrong about most things.

   I used to complain about it so much, until I realized I didn't mind being wrong anymore. I guess that was me maturing.
