As I didn't sleep very well that night, I had no trouble getting up at the right time that morning. My mom was glad at least.
"If you are not feeling well today honey, you don't need to go." She says, getting me by surprise. I mean, I know my mom is comprehensive and all but I didn't know it got to the point where not going to school was an option.
"It's fine mom, I-",
"Your grades are excellent and you haven't been absent in ages," she continues, gently placing her hand on top of mine, "I'm just saying that if you need a day off, you can stay at home."
It was sweet, very sweet of her to do it. She's being kind and I love it but for more that I want a day off, for more that a day off would be great, I just can't have one. I can't show everyone my weakness, I have to be strong. Breaking up with Steve shouldn't be that much of a deal, it isin't that much of a deal. I can't make a big drama out of it because I am not suffering for him, I cannot suffer for him. It's over and I have to get over it.
I will ger over it.
I smile at her. "I'm going." I say.
She shrugs. "Fine, suit yourself."
I then get up from the table and get back upstairs to brush my teeth and get my bag.
As I was about to leave the house, my mom looks up to me from the new's paper and calls my name. I look back at her, my hand grabbing the doorknob.
"Being strong isin't always the best option." She states, looking at me seriously.
I just look at her quiet, I don't exactly know what to say. She's right but right now, not being strong isin't considerable. Not even a little.
I smile and open the door. "In this case it is." I simply say before leaving through the door, not looking back and most of all, not regretting what I had chosen.

"Ron, are you alright?" I ask coming closer to my best friend, who was sitting on a bench looking at his phone.
He hasn't talk to me yet today. Ron talks to me every morning, is it to mock me for being late or asking me for my homework. He always does but today he just hasn't.
He looks up at me. "Yeah." He replies.
I'm not convinced so I take a seat next to him. "Talk to me." I say.
"I told you, it's nothing!" He persists and looks away from me.
"Ron!" I hiss, getting his attention, "I'm gonna ask this again and remember I've known you since forever and we've been best friends since forever. I can tell when you're happy, I can tell when you're angry and I can tell when you're sad. Something is up, I know it so just tell me now."
He opens his mouth to protest but closes it again with a sigh. I won.
He looks down. "Lucy," he says, I recognize his girlfriend's name and frown, "It didn't work."
My eyes widen in shock and I flinch back. Since when Ron and Lucy don't work? They are perfect for each other, they've been perfect for each other since I introduced them. They were the only living proof that true love and love at first sight exists. How on earth could've they not worked out? I just can't understand. If you had seen them you would've understand what I'm saying. Any one could tell they were a couple. Even the ones that didn't knew them.
"I know, it's shocking." He says, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Ron how did this-",
"It just didn't, Crystal," He sighs, "It just didn't."
