I Was Meant To Be Yours

The Princess Bride

"Have I ever told you how great it is to be back to our normal lives?" Martha asked, squeezing my hand.

"Yep, this is the life... Watching Princess Bride and failing our classes..." I sighed back.

Ever since the Pep Rally, I have been neglecting school. Now, I didn't see the worth of sitting and listening to some old people talk about the importance and value of life.

"Veronica?"

"Hmm?"

Martha took a deep breath, "Do you miss him?"

I glanced over to my best friend. She was sitting in her wheelchair, content as ever, and I didn't want to bother her with my strange emotions.

"Sometimes."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why do you miss him? You're always talking about how Jason was such a horrible perso-"

"I never said that." I shot back defensively.

"Umm okay? Well, if it makes you feel any better, I miss Ram."

"Martha, I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but Ram was a complete dick and douchebag, why did you love him all those years?"

Martha shrugged, "Hmm... Well, he made me feel human. When we were little, he noticed me and was my first crush. Other kids only hung out with me because of parent-induced-playdates; well, except for you anyway. It felt nice to be noticed by such a popularly liked kid; if I couldn't be one myself."

We sat in silence for the rest of the movie.

"Martha? Do you want to sit with us during lunch?" I asked in place of our silence.

"Really? With you and Heather?"

"Well, since you're coming back to school tomorrow, I thought, maybe we could trade scrunchies?" I had no clue what I was talking about anymore, I just missed Martha. Also, I didn't know if I could stand listening to Heather talk about Heather and Heather anymore.

"Yeah, sure, thanks Veronica."

After that, I walked home. I had a lot on my mind... Also, he was pestering me.

Throughout the entire movie, J. D. had kept whispering to me and laughing. I just couldn't take it anymore.

Have I mentioned that four dead people keep talking to me?
