Best Enemies

Hanna

 He was so hilarious. No one, but Nutmeg, had ever made me laugh like that. He was talking about last camp he ended up upside down on the ropes course and had to stay there for an hour. I struggled to pick my suitcase up with a lot of unattractive heaving, why did Mum over pack. He gestures for me to step aside and lifts the suitcase easily onto his shoulders. I thank him and we continue walking. I can't help but look into his eyes, they are just like the book characters, blue with a hint of grey. He smiles showing his perfect white teeth and I almost collapse. How does someone this perfect take the time to talk to me? My world comes crashing down when I see a brunette flounce over to us and pushes me aside. She leans closer and I feel a pain in my chest. She can't take my glorious moment away from me. I hear her mutter something and I go to slap her and tell her what I think but my feet are planted to the floor, all of my courage has failed me. She leans even closer and wraps her hands around his body. And then all of a sudden it happens. She crosses the line, presses her lips against his and kisses him. It takes all of my fading stamina not to cry out or even scream. The pain in my chest was nothing in comparison, my intestines have exploded and now I am on the ground on pain. But as she opens her brown doe like eyes and flutter towards me I can't hold it in. I burst into tears and start running. I don't want to be anywhere near Rubi when she takes her final shot at me. I run blindly, jumping over suitcases, dodging people until I make it to a building which I believe is the girls' bathroom. I sit on the cold tile and let the tears stream out. Heartbreak is deadly. Even if you haven't really loved someone but you have started to feel emotions it is still a critical hit. This isn't a movie. The guy won't come back to me. I can't just brush my hair and add some makeup to beat Rubi Kingsley. I hear some shuffling of feet and my whimpers cease. I expect Rubi to walk in with a smug look on her face and make some rude comment about how I never succeed but it isn't her. It's the last person I would ever expect to come and comfort me. Felix walks in cautiously
"Hi Hanna"...
At this moment I am so happy that Felix was there. I run towards him and wrap my arms around his feeble body and start crying again. He awkwardly strokes my hair and mutters comforting words. He is my saviour.
