On the first day of school my senior year, my wish was granted. She walked into my class and I couldn't help but sit up straighter and smile at her. She looked around nervously until she caught my eye and smiled back. There was one spot behind me and she walked over and sat down. Once she sat down and got herself situated, I turned around and asked, "Biology 2.0?" with a smile.
Our teacher who taught us Biology last year is the same teacher we have for Anatomy and Physiology this year. She smiled and said, "Yeah, it's great, isn't it?"
"Yeah, and we have Roberts back too!" I said. Mr. Roberts was our Medical class teacher since freshman year and he was the best. We lost him last year to some other teacher who wasn't nearly as great as him, but I guess having him for our last year of high school totally made up for it.
"Yes! It's gonna be such a great year! When do you have him? I have him next hour!" she exclaimed.
I couldn't help but smile bigger. "I got him next hour too! I guess we'll be seeing each other a lot this year," I said.
"Yeah... It's gonna be awesome!" she said. I love how she just exudes joy and positivity.
We were called to pay attention when the bell rang and our teacher got up and talked about the class like every other teacher did on the first day of school.
That day gave me an opportunity to start up an official friendship with Addie. This time, I wasn't going to just let her slip out of my hands like at the end of last year. I was going to try every little thing to be close to her and to find a way to talk to her more. I don't even know where I want to go with this. All I know is that I need someone like her in my life. I need someone who doesn't let the harsh realities of the world phase her, someone who, despite all the hardships and struggles, can find the light in everything. I don't exactly know what kind of feelings I have toward her, and I don't know why I'm so attached to her. But I have a strong feeling in my gut that if I don't get closer to her, I might actually die. I think I might like her, and honestly, I'm terrified.
