My Best friend

Chapter 2

At lunchtime, I found Teri and she led me to her lunch table. She introduced me to her friends and we all talked. About five minutes into lunch I decided to grab an apple from the lunch line. I was walking away from the table when someone from our table called ,"Katherine, could you grab me some napkins on your way back?". I turned my head to call back sure but kept walking. I wasn't looking where I was going.

I crash into someone who was apparently in a big hurry. We both fall to the floor ,their lunch spilling on to the ground as well. The whole cafeteria went silent and everyone looked at us. Some people gasped, their eyes wide. I realize why. I try to stand up but my necklace is tangled with the other person's. I look up at the person and gasp.

It was the Black hoodie guy from Mrs. Baile's class. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" I ask frantically trying to untangle my necklace. I look down at the pendant and...my heart stopped. It was the shape of a puzzle piece like mine. I got them untangled and sure enough, their magnets connected to make a phrase.

'Best friends'

I look up at the boy in front of me and ask "DJ?". He moves his bangs away from his face and I can now clearly see those unmistakable blue eyes of his. It was him!

"Kathy?" He whispers. His voice is deeper than it used to be. After a few moment of shocked silence, what just happened sinks in.

"DJ!" I yell tackling him in a bear hug,which he returns,"Oh my god I can't believe it! It's you!".

He replies, "I can't believe it either!" He pulls away from the hug, "gosh you look so different.". That's true. Last time I saw him I was a little taller. Now, I'm 5ft and he's about 5'8" to 6' or something. Plus I had glasses now, my dark brown hair has subtle highlights, and I recently got braces.

"Yeah?" I say, "well you look a lot different too, stretch. Since when are you taller than me?". He gives me a kinda half smile. "You went and grew up on me buddy." I add. He smiles again. Then it disappears when we realize everyone is still watching us. DJ's face turns a slight pinkish color, he looks at the ground, his bangs covering his face again.

I look at everyone staring and yell, "What? Shows over people. Return to your lunches please. Thank you.". As the conversations start up again I help DJ pick up his lunch. Once he gets a new one, I convince him to come sit with me at Teri's table. As soon as we sit down, we're hounded with questions.

"What the heck was that?"

"What just happened?"

"Who is he?"

"How do you know him?"

"Is he your boyfriend or something?"

That last one makes DJ blush, his eyes going wide. "Woah, woah! Slow down guys." I say "Let me explain. This is DJ. He's my best friend that I hadn't seen in five years.". I explain everything to them and they all fangirl a little when I tell then about the necklaces. The whole time I explain, DJ stays quiet, occasionally blushing at Teri's friends reactions.

After lunch, I start walking to fourth period with DJ. "Hey DJ, you wanna come over to my place after school?" I ask him.

"Sure,uh...I guess so." He answers.

"Great! My mom will be so happy to see you again. You should probably call your mom to let her know your coming over. Meet me by my locker after class, number 235,'kay?". He nods and walks to class, pulling his hood over his head.

I'm so happy! I can't wait to hang out with my best friend again! Maybe I can trick him into helping me unpack the boxes in my room?

Ha, that'll take some convincing.

Ah, the reunion. This made me so happy while writing it. Super cheesy and cliche but cute and adorable too! Let me know what you think of this in the comments and if you have any suggestions for the story is love to hear them.
