I give TJ a hug.

"Thank you". I quickly let him go and run outside where I saw Troy go. I have to find him.

I run down the stairs and that's when I saw Troy walking back up to class.

I quickly yell out his name and quickly ran up to him.

Troy spun around and was surprised when he saw me running after him.

"CJ".

I stop in front of him trying to catch my breath.

"Listen to me ok" I demand

Troy smiles then nods at me.

"A good friend told me that I should listen to that person that hurt me so I can feel better and also that person can feel better as well".

Troy frowns then throws himself at me, giving me a hug.

I was shocked at the start but then I slowly hugged him back. It felt nice.

I break the hug and straightened out my shirt. I smile at him then take a deep breath.

"I shouldn't of shut you out like that. That was my fault, but you should know that you started all of this".

Troy frowns and looks at his shoes, then made himself stare at me.

"I know what I did was wrong I shouldn't of listened to Cathy, I shouldn't of shut you out. All that happened was my fault, but I'm so sorry".

"It killed me for years not seeing or talking to you, I've missed you like crazy".

I laughed. "You missed me. That's a surprise".

Troy smiles at me then laughs.

"Of course who wouldn't miss that face, that smile or even that sarcasm".

I give a little smile.

"Can we try to be friends again. Start over".

I shrug my shoulders. "Why not".

Troy's face lit up then he lifted me up in the air and spun me around. I couldn't help but laugh.

He put me down then gave me a warm hug.

"You don't know how much that yes means to me".

I squeeze him and whisper

"Me too".
