I hadn't spoken to you in months. Hearing you speak in class, seeing you in the halls, felt like being around a ghost. Somehow, you became another face in the crowd.
Snow couldn't have been happier about that, the boys, too.
In fact, everyone in my life was overjoyed to see that I was happy.
Happy — a word I didn't think could describe me after you left. I believed my happiness was tethered to yours as much as our souls were. I believed the universe was building something beautiful between us, yet to be discovered by our juvenile selves.
As it turned out, the universe had another plan entirely. It sought to break me from you completely, douse me in reality and sever the bond that connected us. Its plan all along was to show me who my true friends were, and that you were never one of them.
I didn't want to accept that. I fought it for months, even after our friendship went up in flames.
I couldn't believe I wasted years on a boy who abandoned me for the new girl.
I couldn't believe I fell in love with someone so shallow and fake.
I couldn't believe I didn't know you at all.
