My Boy story

Friends?

Jan 20

Her mother cradled her in her arms and stroked her hair," I'm here baby," her mother whispered," I'm here."

_______________________________

It had been a total of seven miserable days without her sister. She had nobody to pack her lunch in the morning, and nobody to greet her when she woke up.

For a week Suwa had been emotionless. She hadn't even have a single thought of Hanyu that whole week.

Xin Long had stopped walking with her due to his needy girlfriend, Mary wanting him to walk her to school and back.

Jisoo and Suwa still hung out, Jeonghee and Jaehee still bullied them.

Nobody but Xin Long and Jisoo knew about her sister. If Jeonghee and Jaehee knew, they would probably bully her about that as well.

Suwa walked to school emotionlessly today, just like any other day. The only thing different today was Jisoo walking with her.

Suwa's mom asked if Jisoo could walk with her daughter to school because maybe it will lighten her up by the time she got to school.

"Suwa?" Jisoo waved her hand in front of Suwa's face," do you wanna know what my mom packed me for lunch today?"

Suwa said nothing. She didn't even acknowledge Jisoo.

"Come on Suwa," she whined," you can't stay like this forever. If you try to live normally it will get better. It's what your sister would want."

"How would you know what my sister would want!" She suddenly snapped.

"Wow, Suwa, I was just saying. I don't think being sulky like this is good for your health."

"You have no right to talk about my sister like you know her. You never even talked to her so just shut up. Your not making this any better," Jisoo was shocked by her friends sudden outburst.

For the rest of the walk there they were silent. No talking, the only sound was birds chirping and the occasional sigh from Jisoo.

When they finally made it to the school Hanyu was outside. Jisoo elbowed Suwa.

"Look who it is Suwa," Jisoo said teasingly.

Jisoo looked over to Suwa who had a slight smile. Jisoo ran up to Hanyu.

"Hi, I'm Jisoo and my friend over there wants to say hello," Jisoo Smiled big and points towards Suwa.

Hanyu looks over to Suwa and waves. Jisoo motions her over.

"H-hello, I'm Kim Suwa," she smiles. This was the first time she's smiled in a week.

"Hello Suwa, I'm Jia Hanyu. I understand you friends with Xin Long right?"

Suwa was puzzled, did Xin Long tell Hanyu about her?

"I mean, not really. We just live beside each other so we walk to school together."

"Oh I see. Would you like to hang out with us at lunch?" He asked kindly.

Suwa was screaming as loud as possible in her mind, jumping around and celebrating.

"Uh yea sure, that would be nice I guess," she tried to stay calm.

Jisoo felt happy, this was the first time she was truest happy and excited since her sister died.

"Great, I guess I'll see you at lunch," Hanyu waved and walked past them to Xin Long who had just arrived on the school campus.

Jisoo and Suwa looked at each other and started to laugh.
