My best friend

Chapter 6

When we finished packing his papers and books back into his bag I walked him outside and we waited for his mom to arrive. While we were waiting we hadn't been speaking until I broke the silence by saying, "Why aren't we talking to each other now?"

"Well I'm just trying to process this in my head right now.", he exclaimed.

We went back to putting our heads down in between our legs with our knees up sitting on the driveway or placing our heads in our palms. I could tell that he was really surprised about this. I hated myself for telling him now. Maybe he thought our friendship was over, and now I'm starting to think it is, and it's all my fault. Soon enough his mom pulled up into the driveway. We both pulled ourselves up onto our feet. He grabbed his bag and swung it onto his back, and as he started to walk he turned his head and flashed a smile at me saying "Bye.". Then he walked down the rest of the driveway and opened the passenger side door, hopped into the car, and as his mom waved goodbye to me, they drove away. I felt like a different person now, like my whole life changed. He would've usually hugged me goodbye, but it was different now. It will probably be like this the rest of our days. I went back inside and ran into my room and plopped onto my bed, laying on my stomach, with my arms spread out. I sat up with my legs folded up to my chest and my arms crossed around them. I had my head placed between my knees, and as I sat there thinking what it would be like without him and what had happened I felt tears drip out if my eyes and onto my blankets. I watched the year drop and it was like slow motion. I did not want to attend school anymore. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of Mark. I haves screwed everything up and I will never forgive myself.
