You Promised

~Flashback~

        Flashback 3rd Grade
I was crying in the corner of the playground because I have no friends. My name is Heather. No one likes me. At home my life is perfect. I have a mother and father. I am in 3rd grade. I am also an only child. I'm lonely a lot.
      I was crying when all of a sudden a boy with really red cheeks came up to me.
      "Hi why are you crying?" He said.
"Because I have no friends" I said.
     "I'll be your best friend. My name is Sam. I don't have any friends either because I just moved here."
    "I used to have friends but they left me" I said," oh and by the way my name is Heather."
       "I like the name Heather it sounds really peaceful" he said and I laughed.
     "I like the name Sam. It reminds me of a clown because you have red cheeks." I said and giggled and he laughed.
     "Do you promise to be my best friend forever?" I asked him.
    "Forever" he said.
"Promise?" I asked.
     "I promise" he said. 
            8th grade
Sam is the best best friend I can ask for. He stands up for me when girls call me a slut for thinking I'm dating Sam. My parents also got divorced.
      Sam's P.O.V.
I think I really like Heather. I don't know why. Maybe it's her beautiful smile or her amazing personality or her beautiful eyes.
      What am I saying she'll never like me back. She already likes Ross. The guy with blonde hair and blue eyes with a tan and probably rides a surfboard.
    Heather's P.O.V.
I really like Ross. My friend Jessica told me he's going to ask me out.
       It was Friday so of course Sam came to my house. We do this every week or everyday.
      "Sam Ross asked me out. What should I wear." I ask him because he's a guy and knows what guys like on girls.
     "You'll look beautiful in anything" he tells me and I look at him surprised.
      He never calls me beautiful. Whatever.
I pull out my clothes and try it on. It looked perfect. Ross texted me saying he's outside.
       "Sam you can stay here until I get back." I tell him.
    "Whatever" he says with a bored look on his face.
    "Hi you look great" Ross said.
"Thanks you look good too" I said back.
      He took me to the movies and we watched Pitch Perfect.
     I saw him on his phone for most of the movie texting a girl named Sarah.
      He then took me home and just said,"Bye" and left.
    I walked inside sobbing and I walked upstairs and Sam was watching SpongeBob.
       "What's wrong Heather. Tell me what he did and I'll go beat him up for you" he said.
     "No it's fine Sam" I said while crying.
"Tell me what he did Heather" He asked me.
      "Fine he kept on texting this girl her name was Sarah and I think that was his girlfriend." I said after I calmed down.
      He leaned in and kissed me. It was mine and his first kiss and it was so unreal. It was better than anything described in books or movies. We both leaned back and we both just stared at each other awkwardly until he said,"Well I have to go home now. I'll see you tomorrow Heather. Bye" he said and left.
      I was still stunned. I didn't know what to say so I just mumbled back,"Ok Bye."
      I then went to bed. I was so tired from this day.
    End of School Year
Sam and I still talk and hang out sometimes, but I found my own group of girls and he found his own group of guys. We drifted apart I guess. It was the day before summer break and I was really excited. But of course I only saw Sam once or twice.
