Dear Margaret

The Real Thing

So I wasn't in her class for this year too, but I had another friend, her name was Beth. She was short, of dark complexion and actually a really good friend. I wasn't that close with her actually, just that I used to tease her a lot so that's how we became friends. So one day she just asked me to stay back after school. I told her that I would.
The day ended and I waited for her where she asked me to wait.
She came there and waved at me, and I waved at her as a reply.
She came to me and stopped about a metre away from me.
"Look there is something really important that I want to tell you" she said.
"What is it? " I asked her.
"Well, you know your friend Justin? "
"Yeah" I said.
"Well I have a crush on him" she said.
Justin was my best friend, more like my only friend apart from Ben.
He was of fair complexion, average height, and actually a very goofy kinda person.
I didn't know what to say. I couldn't promised her things I couldn't do.
"So what do you want me to do?" I asked her.
"Just help me get close with him maybe, help me be friends with him"
As far as I had noticed, she was already good friends with him so I really didn't know what she was talking about.
"Umm, aren't you guys already good friends?" I asked.
"Yeah but I wanna get closer to him . It seems like he is so mysterious.. "
She said.
Well the thing is , I too didn't know that much about him , because it had just been about half a year since we were friends.
"I don't really think I can help you with that, I mean I am struggling with my own girl over here and I really don't wanna promise you things that I cannot do. So..."
"No, it's fine. I'm really sorry" she said.
"Don't apologise now I should be the one doing that... Anyways I'll get going" I said.
"Wait, did you say that you are having problems with your girl? I heard that you have a crush on Margaret.. is that news right? " She enquired.
I hesitated but I had to agree here.
"Yes, you are right. It's her" I said
"I think I can help" she said.
"WHAT?!But how? Do you know any one of her friends?" I asked
"Yeah I do. I know Natalie. She's my good friend. I will talk to her about it." She said.
Now I was really stoked to hear this.
"Okay fine. Thank you so much" I said and after a while left that place.
