Rumbling Hearts

Ch. 2: "Gift of A Friend"

Maria's P.O.V

Sometimes you think you'll be fine by yourself

Cause a dream is a wish that you make all alone

It's easy to feel like you don't need help

But it's harder to walk on your own

You'll change inside

When you realize

The world comes to life

And everything's bright

From beginning to end

When you have a friend

By your side

That helps you to find

The beauty you are, when you open your heart

And believe in

The Gift of a Friend

The Gift of a Friend...

After our encounter with Selene we got to see more and more of her. It seems that she's in all of our classes. She's really great and the more I'm with her I feel as though she's one of my best friends. Me and Lilac was thinking about inviting her in with the group it's like it was meant to happen. For some reason though my stomach still have this weird feeling about her. Steadily I ignore the feeing, because Selene seems like a great person to get to know. And plus I still can't get over how our voices harmonized together in the auditorium the other day. It was beautiful and I still can't get over it.

We have plans everyday with Selene now, and the more we be together I think we are going to have a trio instead of a duo. Honestly though this could be good for me and Lilac to add a new addition to our small group to expand just a bit more.

The good thing about this is that we can take the same way home to and from school because she just lives around the corner from me well, us since Lilac lives with me now meaning all of us can take the same bus to school.

"Are you ready to go Maria," Lilac asked as I made my way down the stairs.

"Yup, you," I asked and as usual she almost forgot her bag and rushed upstairs to get it along with her folder with her presidential belongings inside. I made my way downstairs after hearing the door bell ring, skipping all the way to it. I opened it to only reveal Selene arrival.

"Good morning Maria are we ready to go," she asked smiling brightly and I started to giggle a little and she already knew the answer.

"It's Lilac again isn't it," and she started giggling along with me. By the time we had stopped Lilac was running through the door passing me and Selene.

We stood there for a second wondering why she was running, but I quickly shut the door and ran after her with Selene. I take a small glance at my watch. No wonder she was running she was trying to get to the bus stop before we miss it. I quickly grabbed Selene hand and ran up and caught Lilac's and ran as fast as I could race to the bus stop dragging them both literally.

"There it goes," Lilac shouted and I picked up my pace.

"We're not going to make it Maria," Selene said. I just laughed at how much faith she has in me.

I see someone at the bus stop. I instantly recognized them as Dylan, Logan and I think is Cole from my first period.

"Hey Dylan," I called out before he could get on the bus. He looked around before he landed his eyes on me and he waved me over.
