One day in geometry, A was absent for the first time, and D starts talking about how much she dislikes her, which surprised me, but once I knew the truth it was easy to spot the signs. I guess I hadn't been very observant, but it's none of my business anyways. He was nodding along to some of the reasons D was listing, and I was starting to feel guilty for talking so rudely of A behind her back, so I finally spoke up and said, "I see what you mean, but I think she can be kind of nice sometimes," and my mind wandered to the sign she made me that I hung up on my bedroom door with the three signs I'd made for Hummingbird with Swifty (That's a nickname for a friend of mine, of course). I snapped out of my thoughts, though, when he asked me "Really?" and I said, "Well, yeah. I like to try and focus on the good in people as much as I can." I heard him muttering "Interesting," and when I asked him what he meant, he said, "It's kind of hard to find people who want to see the good in everyone. Most people just go around judging everyone else. It's interesting that you do the exact opposite of that." Of course, I'm not going to take it as a compliment, because he was just being observant and stating what he saw. It's . . . kinda special, but I doubt he meant it that way, or that he thinks of such an insignificant moment as a special memory.
