"Sometimes forever is all it takes to give someone the love they deserve."

"What's wrong with him?" The professor said, laughing. Looks like Daniel does that all the time. I looked up at Kylie, but she, on the other side, was avoiding eye contact with me.
"Kylie." I whispered at her, but she looked so concentrated in the lesson, so unlike her.
I whispered at her a few times but she just acted like I'm not even there.
Why does everyone have to leave me wondering what I did wrong all the time. They won't lose a thing when they just tell me what I did wrong. They just leave me.
Kylie kept ignoring me for the rest of the class. And to be honest, it pissed me off. Even though she wasn't a really close friend to me, I always care. After class ended, I swung my bag on my shoulder and decided to go to Sebastian and skip the rest of the day. I know he'd say no, that freaking ass nerd. But, I'll never know if I never tried.
I caught him standing in front of the room, and I instantly headed his direction.
Back to the old habits, I thought. He hugged me and I grinned at him.
"Can we skip the rest of the day?" I told him, pouting.
"Okay." He replied. "What?" I gasped. I never thought he'd accept the offer.
"I said okay." He repeated. And my eyes were still wide and I couldn't comprehend what he was saying. "Ya sure?"
He nodded and we walked off campus. I wanted to tell Shady that I'm skipping and going off campus but I remembered that I don't even have her number. I didn't want her to wait for me, but I didn't know what to do either. Being friends with Shady and all, was a little weird for me. As she was my enemy almost my entire life. The feeling is still foreign to me.
I remember how I met Shady. I was in pre-school, swinging. My t-shirt was muddy because a boy wanted the swing and I told him no so he pushed me off it. And me being the aggressive child that I was, I hit him too. So they called my mother to come and take me home. And as I was waiting for her on the swing with tears-and-mud-stained-face a jet black haired girl approached me.
"I saw what happened." She mumbled, looking at the grass beneath me. Her hair was shoulder length and her cheeks were so chubby.
"Really?" I asked her,
"Yes," She smiled, "Can I shit?" She said and I giggled
"This is so wrong. Why would you ask me that." While cupping my mouth with both my hands, still giggling.
"No. I mean, can I shit dow--I have braches on." She pointed at her teeth and sure enough, I saw a pink colored braces on her teeth. "Ahhhh." Now that I know what she meant, I patted the swing next to me so she can sit down.
"The boy waj rude." She confessed, after a moment of silence.
"Yeah."
"Mommy told me that boys should not hit girls." She blurted too, "But daddy hit her once."
I didn't understand what she meant, but all I did was hop from the swing and clutch both her shoulders while awkwardly hugging her. She instantly hugged me back and we both cried. I didn't really know why I was crying, but I felt like she had a piece of me.
"It's okay. We can be friends now. I'll protect you." I mumbled in her ear whilst still holding her.
She nodded and wiped her eyes with her palms.
