Best Friend?

Chapter 8

- Hayes -

I'm a wreck. I can't start school like this. I'm ruined. Annalise kept my life strait. I have no person to keep my life strait anymore. I'm going to die alone, without Anna's forgivness. Apparently, I've got a letter in the mail. I haven't got the balls to open it.

Dear Benjamin,

You're clearly right. I will not forgive you. I'm sorry. I can't come back home. My life is here in Detroit now. I've made so many new friends. I can't leave them. I will not give you my number but, you may have my address. It's 641026, Jasmine Ln, Detroit, MI. I would love to continue writing letters to you. It will definitely be a pleasure. By the time you'll get this, it'll be the first day of school for me. It's starts earlier than, North Carolina. I got braces and apparently, I need glasses. I'm getting frames and contacts. I'll be home for Easter. Don't expect me to come see you. In the letter you sent me, you didn't even say happy birthday. What kind of letter was that? I can't believe you. I will not forgive you and I'm a little disappointed in you. I'm glad you got rid of Madison. I didn't like her anyways. I'm sorry btw, I didn't read the letter inside of the book. You did say happy birthday. This isn't an erasble pen so yeah. Bye.

xx A

P. S. People call me A now.

xx A

People call her A now? She's really changed. I guess it's for her own good. She doesn't need to see me. I don't need her. Today is the day I will make a new best friend. That person is Alex. Alex from Target. No. I know him. I'm going to hang with Brent today.

I couldn't help myself. Before Mr. Price sealed the letter, I read it. She told him. She will never forgive him. I didn't want to tell her but, Dylan and I broke up because I've been texting Hayes. He and I are like inseparable now. I think I like him. A lot.

"Hey, A." I smiled. "Hey, B." She replied, groaning. Today is the first day of school. "C'mon it'll be fun. I can introduce you to all of the awesomest people." I told her and she nodded. This girl, is gorgeous and she doesn't know it. Today, I decided on a cute knee length, yellow dress. Anna has the matching one but, in purple. We'll look awesome.

We walked to school together. I noticed Braiden acting funny this morning and Dylan was the same. They walked with us. "We have something to tell you guys." Braiden piped up. "Really?" I asked and he nodded. "Dylan, you say it." He nudged Dylan. "I'm dating Braiden. Well we're dating." He said, grasping Braiden's hand. Anna's mouth dropped open.

I nodded and pulled Anna with me to school. Anna was stopped by a guy. I decided to continue walking. "Hey B!" I heard my name and I turned around. "Oh, Scott." I sighed. Scott's my ex. Still likes me. "Scott, I don't like you like that." I told him. "No, actually, found this one calling for you." He pushed Anna over to me. "I couldn't find you." She sighed and I nodded.

Anna and I had no classes together except lunch. Which doesn't count. I'm happy because, she got to meet Mohini, Charlie, and Wen. My friends.
We are sitting at our lunch table talking. Mohini came and sat by me.

"Hey B, where'd you meet A?" She asked me. "Our Dad's play in the same MLB team." I sighed. I think Mo has a crush. I saw the way she looked at Charlie. I heard my name being called.

I walked to the Principal's office. "Hello, Mrs. Jarema." I said, politely. "Bella! Can you sing a song for the assembly. Or two?" She asked me and I nodded. "Oh thank you! You're a life saver." I smiled and I left the room. The assembly was the Friday. I'm going to have to come up with 2 songs by then.
