We went through all the necessary places in school and now we're sitting outside the building, just chilling.

"Thanks for that tour beautiful, you are amazing at introducing new places to people", he does his signature smirk.

"Thanks for the compliment!"

He smiles and takes my hand in his.

"Your brunette hair matches with your light brown eyes. You are simply amazing."

I don't know what to say... Is he just saying this to tease me or what? This guy messes with my head big time. We just met, few days ago and now he's acting and saying all sweet stuff! Grrrr!

"Even if you don't remember me....", a sad look comes across his face, as he looks deep into my eyes.

Wait what was that? Remember him..? Then it all rushed back into my head..

(Sniff, sniff ) "why are you cwying?", a little boy around my age asks me with concerned hazel eyes.

"W-why? Why did they leave me?", tears start to pour like a waterfall down my chubby, pink cheeks.

"If I ask you... You would be sad and cwy more. I don't need to know...", he can't properly pronounce his 'r's.

He tucks my messy hair strands behind my ears, "Did anyone ever tell you how beautiful you are?"

"T-thank you stranger."

"Pleaswe stop cwying, I can't stand to see you cwy like this!", he stomps his foot on the ground and frowns.

"O-ok. Your funny.", I sniff and wipe my tears off my cheeks, smiling wearily. He grips my hand with his tiny arm and pulls me ahead.

"Now, let's go to class! Before Miss. White spanks our bottoms!", He says and I giggle.

Robin.... Robin was that little boy... I don't believe it! It was him all this time. How could I have forgotten!? And afterwards.... We became friends! Until he....

I turn to face Robin with a depressed/surprised look, "I-it was you!"

"I know, but I never thought you would forget...."

"You don't know me...", I started.

"But I'm willing too... Scarlett."

I do hate people knowing about my past and family!

"Ughh, M-my mother died.. My stupid father left me...", I began to crack.

I did what every teen would do at a critical stage. Yes, I started to weep, weep like I've never weeped before.

Robin and I were friends... But I never let him discover my past.

He does something I never thought he would do.. He tugs me into a warm, comforting hug. Within seconds, I'm against his chest. I bury myself in him, sobbing like a lost child.

"Shhhhhssshhh. There, there, it's ok now. I'm here for you...", he whispers.

"I-I'm -s-s- sorry Robin. I'm such a cry baby."

"We all feel pain Scarlett, not only you. It's part of life. Your mother left for a cause, but she still loves you. Your father probably left you because he couldn't stand the fact, that your mother passed away."

Those words were soothing. He does have a good point. I nod my head slowly in his chest and he holds me tighter. The sobbing starts to seize.

"That's my girl. Stay strong. I don't want to see you buried in sorrow."
