"And- and then, I found out it wa- was him." I sobbed. I knew I shouldn't have burdened Kara with so much stress, but I needed to talk to somebody. She was all I had.
"Wow. That's low, even for him. But remember, Kara, all good things come from bad things. There is no good without some evil. Has anything good happened?"
Wise words from Kara always cheered me up. She was the strongest person I knew. She always put other people in front of herself, even though she knew she was dying.
"Well, I did meet a nice guy names James. He's been super sweet and supportive. He seems to be the only person who hasn't fallen for Sam's 'slut' rumor. I actually was gonna go drive over to Starbucks and meet him there in about an hour. I sniffled.
A grin blossomed on Kara's face. "See, maybe James was just sent by God to help you."
"As if!" I snorted. "You know I don't believe in all that shit about God. And if there is a God, he's a dick. Look what he's done to you! You don't deserve this! If anything, I should be the one with cancer." Tears made a reappearance in my eyes.
"Don't say that!" Kara said, her eyes showing sadness as her arms opened up, inviting me for a hug.
I wish I could stay right here, with my best friend, forever. If only it was that simple.

"What's the Capitol of Guatemala?" James asked, brushing his brown locks back with his fingers.
"I have no idea..." I groaned, putting my head down on the table, which earned many "Shhhh!"s from the librarians.
"Guatemala City, you nitwit!" James joked.
"This is hopeless. The test is in two days and I don't even know anything!" I groaned, earning more "Shhh!"s from around me.
"How about we go back to my place, it's quieter there." He said nonchalantly.
"Actually, I have plans to go see kara again. Wanna come? I bet she'd be ecstatic to meet you!" I said cheerfully.
"Uhh... I don't know about that. I mean, I would love to meet Kara, it's just..." he seemed uneasy.
"I'm sure she'll love you! I told her all about you, and she's pretty excited." I smiled.
"You... Told her about me?" He blushed.
"Yeah! I had to tell her about the only friend I have." I have him a sad smile.
He pulled my into a hug and said, "I'm so sorry."
"It's not your fault." I whispered as the tears started to stream down my face.
