Maybe Tomorrow

Chapter 1. Magnolia

Me and Evelyn were the bestest of friends our whole lives, we spent almost every second of every day together. She was a year older than me and born a day before me, but since our birthdays were close to each other we just celebrated on the same day, it was more fun that way. We had sleep overs almost every weekend and we hung out all the time even if we were sick. None of my friends ever were as close as Evelyn and I. I hope that's how she felt as well, I'll never really know now. We don't really talk anymore, it's been like that since we were 12, we just grew apart. I miss her, I miss what we had, I wish I could tell her that. Maybe tomorrow I'll get the chance. I have a new friend group but were not as close as Eve and I were, I wonder if she minds me still calling her 'Eve', she has her own friend group now as well, she probably doesn't even think about me anymore and I shouldn't think about her anymore even though she's just a window across from me. I'm going to start sophomore year tomorrow, I already have my outfit picked out, I always do, placed neatly on my bed to see how I like the combination of clothing, spoiler, it always looks good. The outfit I picked out for tomorrow is a white long sleeve shirt with little red hearts all over, a pair of flared jeans, a white chunky cardigan, and a red bow for my hair. I always wear bows, I have since I was a little girl. I checked my weather app before picking out my outfit so I know how to dress, it's going to be pretty cold and windy tomorrow so the cardigan is needed with the long sleeve. I wonder what Eve's going to wear- wait, I shouldn't be thinking of her. We're not even friends still although I wish we were, she loved hearing what I had to say, like my outfits for the next day, or something I was interested in, like one time she listened to me rant on and on about the solar system, my friends now barley let me say a word, but that's good! They don't need to know that I'm a weirdo who could talk for hours about something, I just have to say the right things so they'll keep being my friends, I have to make everyone like me so I'll like myself, only at home I can be myself. I check the time, almost 10? I should be asleep by now. I grab my outfit I picked out and put it on a hanger, hanging off my closet door, I turn the light off and close my window after quickly sneaking a glance over at Eve's, she had her curtain closed so I quickly closed mine and hopped into bed. I already had my alarm set, my teeth brushed, and my face washed. Time to sleep, but my brain couldn't stop thinking about how school will be tomorrow. Eve will be there, with her new friends while I'm over with mine. She really connects with them, I barley connect with mine, she probably likes them better than me, why do I even care what she does? She probably doesn't care what I do. Some nights, I wish I could have my memories of her gone so I could sleep at night, but I would miss her, seeing her smile, hearing her laugh, the way her hair looks when she wakes up. I would hate to forget that. That was the last thing I thought about before sleeping peacefully.
