narrator ___________________________________________________________________________ High school, more stress and less sleep, so excited, our first year in high school, ex all forgotten about, and ready to do this, it was always going to be me and Romie against the world.Romie was a scientific student and i was a literature one which means different classes and different time shcedule, it was going to be difficult, not having Romie by my side everyday but we were going to get through this just like we always did and always will.
I remember Romie calling me the night before school started, she called me at two am, she was sobbing, crying so hard i couldn't understand anything she said, it was the first time i heard Romie cry, i sneaked out and ran to her house, climbed into her room.
She was curled up in a ball, sobbing, snot coming out of her nose, i hugged her asking her what's wrong, all she did was cry, it was until she calmed down she said
"I can't" she whispered
"what do you mean" i asked
"I can't do it without you" she cried
"Oh, honey don't worry about it, nothing will happen to us" i reassured her
"What if you forget about me, you're the only good thing in life"
"listen to me" i grabbed her shoulders "you are my best friend, i will not forget about you, we will get through this, i will call you everyday, heck i'll even come over everyday, i'll text you in class, i will not forget about you, my best friend position is available for one person and guess what it's taken" i said looking into her eyes
"Really"
"Yes, really i'll be clingy like an ex girlfriend, or better like Layla's minions, you'll even start to hate me"
She laughed, i have never felt this relieved, she freaked out over nothing, and was super anxious and overthinked a lot, i should've known it was a sign, she was begging me for help yet all i did was ignore her cry of help.
First day wasn't easy, it was going to feel different not having Romie to annoye in class but i'll manage, eight hours and then i can see her.
Romie was acting like nothing happened, like she didn't have a mental breakdown and i went along with it.
It was bizzare how can someone fool so many people, how good they are at being fake that it became like a second habit to them, fake it til you make it right Romie was that someone, she pretends, she lies , she fakes and she is good at doing all of those things, she played everybody, acted like everything was perfect,she didn't fool me, she didn't play me.
I noticed, i just never talked.
