Finally reaching my locker I see the girls standing there waiting. I mumbled a quick "hey" and opened my locker to put my things I don't need for my first class up. Zoning out I just stood there and stared at the semi-empty locker. I've had this locker ever since freshman year and now I'm a junior. There's a lot of memories that I associate with this locker. Like the time I was pushed to it by Taylor for whatever reason, or the time I found a note from someone with really pretty writing, or my personal favorite the time that I was running late and when I opened my locker I saw a present from the person with the pretty writing. I never found out who that was, but the notes eventually stopped. I've got to admit I wish I knew who it was so I could talk to them.
I snapped back into reality when Dinah grabbed my shoulders and shook me. "Lauren, what happened to you? You never act so quietly." "Chill out guys, nothing happened, and Dinah if you ever do that again I will personally kill you." Dinah just rolled her eyes and muttered a "try me" under her breath. I swear she acts like a child sometimes. Already kind of angry with them for thinking I was acting strange I grabbed my things and stormed off to the one place they didn't know I go, the library. Going to the most secluded corner I grabbed the book To Kill A Mockingbird and sat down.
I've read this book millions of times, but I liked it so much. I read it every time I storm off to hide in here. I was just finishing chapter 3 when I felt someone sit next to me. Great, what do they want? Deciding to ignore them and continue reading I started chapter 4. Finally breaking from everything that's happened over the summer and this morning I let the tears fall freely down my face. Putting my student I.D. card in my place I shut the book and sat there, crying in front of whoever was next to me.
I felt a pair of arms wrap around me to comfort me. I knew who it was, but I refused to say something. "I guess this is kind of our thing now, comforting each other. Huh?" Not replying I sunk my face deeper into her shoulder as if to escape from everything.
I don't know how long we sat there in that position. All I knew is that I forgave her for leaving last year. Looking up from her shoulder I locked eyes with her, smiled, and whispered: "I guess that's our new thing." Seeing her smile back she loosened her hold on me and gave me her phone. I did what any logical person would do and put my number in her phone. Giving it back to her I started to stand to leave. I grabbed my things and was almost to the doors when I heard her say "Really? Planet Green Eyes, I thought you forgot about me calling you that." I turned around and walked back to her and wrapped into a hug, "never have, never will." With that I let her go and went to my first period.
