i would say i miss him but why would i miss him if he never wanted to be my friend and never came to my party or came to see me ? but it's whatever now , he has his friends and i have my friends. except , him and his friends were obviously older than me.

i was about to walk out of the apartment ive been living in since i was four and my mom said to lock the door on the way out so that's what i did. i put on my bag, put in my earbuds, locked the door and closed it. i was facing the door while picking out the songs i would listen to on my way to school.

i picked out 'women' by Harry styles , 'right hand' by drake, 'do re mi' by black bear, and 'Galway girl' by ed sheeran. the music started and i started to go to the stairs to walk down.

should we just search romantic comedies on netflix and see what we find ? i said aloud before getting to the stairs and i heard a familiar voice from behind me.
why not ? i like romantic comedies said the boy with think brown hair and bright green eyes.
heath i said pausing my music and taking out my earbuds.
red ranger he said as he smiled a bright smile so uh how's it been ? i mean you look good.
i laughed im doing alright , but i have to get to school because im running a bit late so see ya later heath bar.
oh that's right , you're still in high school he chuckled
oh that's right , you're in college and barely making the grades you need to pass i replied to him and now that i hear it myself , i can see how rude it was
uh yeah but i have to go myself , i have to meet up with a friend so see ya later red ranger he walked down the stairs pretty fast then i followed right behind.

yo vee , why you here later than usual said my boyfriend harrison.
i ran into an .... old friend i guess you could say but it's no big deal , im here now
harrison , veronica, get to class first block is about to start and i don't think either of you need another tardy said our principle mr.script , but most people at school called him strict script but that's besides the point.

through every class and even through lunch i couldn't stop thinking about him. i couldn't keep heath out of my mind and i couldn't understand why.
